ABOUT THIS MANUAL
This manual was written to help you get the most perfor­mance, comfort, enjoyment and safety when your child is riding his or her new folding scooter.
It is important for you to understand your child’s new folding scooter, how your child should use it and what you need to do to keep your child safe.
GENERAL WARNING
Use of a kick scooter can be a hazardous activity even under the best of circumstances. Proper maintenance of your child’s new scooter is your responsibility as it helps reduce the risk of injury. This manual contains many “WARNINGS” concerning the consequences of failure to maintain or inspect your child’s new scooter. Many of the warnings could say, “your child may lose control and fall.” Because any fall can result in serious injury or even death, we do not repeat the warning of possible injury or death whenever the risk of falling leads to a “WARNING”. Note: The illustrations in this manual are used simply to provide examples; the components of your child’s new scooter might differ. In addition, some of the parts shown might be optional and not part of your child’s new scooter’s standard equipment. The following manual is only a guide to assist you.
A SPECIAL NOTE FOR PARENTS
Your child’s new scooter is distributed by Dynacraft BSC,
Inc. and is intended for riding on at surfaces and easy slopes. Be
WARNED if unsupervised children use scooters inappropriately like they have seen older riders use skateboards in extreme sports settings. Know your child, and see that they only use this scooter safely and with in their age and physical limits.
Uses such as aggressive off-road riding, downhill
INTRODUCTION

riding, jumping, tricks, stunting and other extreme uses are not recommended and if you allow your child to do such things with this scooter you must assume sole responsibility for any harm to your child that may result.
It is a tragic fact that riding accidents involve children. As a parent or guardian, you bear the responsibility for the activities and safety of your minor child. Among these responsibilities are to make sure that your child’s new scooter which your child is
riding is properly tted to the child; that it is in good repair and safe
operating condition; that you and your child have gone over the use, operation and safety section of this manual; that you and your child have learned, and understand what to do and what not to do with your child’s new scooter, and the common sense rules of gravity, safe speed and courteous cycling.
USE, OPERATION AND SAFETY
As a parent, you should read this manual before letting your child ride his or her new scooter. The age grade of 5 years old is based on United States government guidance on child development and appropriate toys, but young children are all
different. If your child walks and runs with condence, then the
child may have developed the balancing skills to operate the scooter. Turning with a small front wheel and stopping with a simple brake are not the same as a bicycle or car. You can not
expect your child to understand how difcult it is to stop on hills or
at speed or turn with out jerking the small front wheel, and your close supervision and sound limits about speed and grade are required for your child’s safety. So encourage play and having
fun with the scooter, but keep it on at surfaces or gentle slopes, always wear shoes (never barefoot, sandals or ip ops), and avoid trafc and pedestrians. Remember only you are the best
judge of whether your child is at the appropriate development stage for safe play with this scooter.
Page 4
Always have your child use safety equipment and appropriate clothes and shoes. Safety equipment is a helmet, knee pads and elbow pads. The helmet is not only a good idea but required in many communities. To protect your child the helmet must comply with CPSC, 16 CFR Section 1203 requirements and be worn correctly:
CORRECT FITTING –
MAKE SURE YOUR HELMET
COVERS YOUR FOREHEAD.
INCORRECT FITTING –
FOREHEAD IS EXPOSED
AND VULNERABLE TO
SERIOUS INJURY.
Be aware that young children often can master riding, and still will lose their balance and fall while at play. So part of your supervision is that they not leave the scooter or other toys around the ground where they play as they may fall on them. It is also your responsibility to maintain the scooter after correctly assembling it.
Page 5
Children should be made aware of all possible riding hazards and correct riding behavior before they take off on their scooter! Please explain to them as often as necessary:
Always wear a helmet and other safety equipment. Always keep the chin strap on the helmet securely
buckled.
Do not ride on streets, around cars, on hills, or in foot,
skateboard or vehicle trafc.
Observe the age and weight limitations on the cover of
this manual.
Young children must be supervised by an adult
to be safe.
Wear shoes. Keep two hands on the handlebars. Never have more than one rider and never try to tow
anything.
Always ride on smooth surfaces or gentle slopes and
avoid too much speed.
Do not ride at night. Do not ride in wet weather. Avoid sharp turns, bumps, drainage grates, trick
stages, ramps, half pipes, skateboard parks or empty swimming pools.
Obey all local laws about cycling. Regularly check brakes, grip ends, and steering
connections and do not ride if parts are broken or worn
until xed or replaced by your parent.
Do not ride near swimming pools, ditches or drop offs. Brakes get hot from use, do not touch them after use. Speed is a danger, avoid excessive speed going down
hill; also avoid stunts, jumps and bumps.
