Safety Warnings

Riding the OjO can be dangerous, even under ideal surface and weather
conditions. Proper maintenance of your OjO is your responsibility and helps
reduce the risk of injury. The OjO is designed to move and it is therefore
possible to lose control and/or fall, resulting in serious injury or even
death. Use the OjO only in accordance with the following instructions.

This manual contains important safety information. It is your responsibility
to review this information and make sure that riders understand all
warnings, cautions, instructions, and safety topics. OjO Electric, LLC
recommends that all riders periodically review the information in this
manual and that you regularly inspect and maintain your OjO to ensure
safe operation for all riders.

The recommended OjO rider age of 16 and older is only an estimate and
can be affected by the rider’s size, weight, or skills. Any rider unable to
fit c

omfortably on the OjO should not attempt to ride it. A parent’s decision
to allow his or her child to ride this product should be based on the
child’s maturity, skill, and ability to follow the rules and understand these
instructions and warnings. Keep this product away from small children
and remember that this product is intended for use only by persons who,
even if age 16 or older are completely comfortable and competent while
operating the product.

Riders should not exceed the OjO’s weight limit of 300 pounds. A rider’s
weight does not necessarily mean that a person’s size is appropriate to fit
or maintain control of the OjO.

RIDING THE OJO IS ENTIRELY AT YOUR OWN RISK. USE COMMON
SENSE AND GOOD JUDGMENT WHEN RIDING THE OJO.

PERSONS WITH ANY MENTAL OR PHYSICAL CONDITIONS THAT MAY
MAKE THEM SUSCEPTIBLE TO INJURY OR IMPAIR THEIR PHYSICAL
DEXTERITY OR MENTAL CAPABILITIES TO RECOGNIzE, UNDERSTAND,
AND PERFORM ALL OF THE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND TO BE ABLE
TO ASSUME THE HAzARDS INHERENT IN UNIT USE.

Before You Ride

• Before each ride, inspect your OjO for abnormal wear and tear.

• Locate brake levers and check both front and rear for proper

operation. Note: When brakes are activated, power to the motor
is disengaged.

• Check for proper tire ination. (see page 21).

• Make sure seat is properly adjusted and tightened.

• If music is desired, connect Bluetooth prior to the starting your ride.

Learning to Ride

For your first OjO ride, we recommend you go to an area free
from cars, pedestrians, cyclists, and potential hazards to practice and
familiarize yourself with the OjO controls and features. Place the OjO in
“eco” mode when first learning how to operate.

Proper Riding Attire

Always wear proper protective equipment, including an approved safety
helmet. Helmets may be required by local law. Follow the helmet man­ufacturer’s instructions for fit, use, and care of your helmet. OjO recom­mends wearing a long-sleeved shirt, long pants and gloves to minimize
injury or scrapes in case of an accident. Wear athletic shoes with rubber
soles (lace-up shoes should be tightly laced) and DO NOT ride barefoot
or in open-toed shoes. Beware of pinching your fingers or getting them
caught in moving parts when operating the OjO. Protective glasses are
recommended.

Where to Ride

Your OjO is meant for bike lanes, boardwalks and other city paths in
compliance with local laws. Always check and obey any local laws and
regulations, which may affect the locations where the electric scooter
may be used. Keep away from cars and motor vehicle traffic at all times.
Only use the OjO where allowed. Debris, glass, sand or other items may
cause instability or injury. You must have a clear view of the path ahead.

Safe Riding Practices and Warnings

• Ride defensively and always look ahead of where you’re going.

Watch out for potential objects that could catch your OjO’s wheel
or force you to swerve suddenly or lose control. Be careful to avoid
vehicles, pedestrians, skaters, skateboards, scooters, bikes, children,
or animals who may enter your path, and respect the rights and
property of others.

• Do not weave through trafc or make any moves that may surprise

others with whom you are sharing the road. Stay in the designated
bike lane.

• Do not turn at excessive speeds or make sudden or sharp turns.

• Do not attempt or do stunts or tricks on your OjO. The OjO is not

made to withstand abuse from misuse such as jumping, curb
grinding, or any other type of stunts.

• Keep both hands on the handlebars and both feet on the footrest at

all times.

• Never carry passengers on the OjO or allow more than one person at

muddy, icy, slick, or uneven and rough surfaces may impair traction
and contribute to possible accidents. Do not ride the OjO in mud,
