provided you take responsibility for safety, proper maintenance
and understand the challenges you may encounter while riding it.
Fuel Safety
• Always mix and pour fuel outdoors away from sparks or ames.
• Use only containers that are approved for fuel.
• Never smoke or allow others to smoke near the MVs10 while you are
working on the engine, or when refueling.
• Carefully clean up all fuel spills before starting the engine.
• Always move at least 10 feet away from the spot of fueling before starting
up the engine.
• Always kill the engine before removing the fuel cap.
• Motovox recommends that you rst empty the fuel tank before shipping
or storage to prevent fuel spills.
• Never store your MVs10 near open ames like water heaters, furnaces,
electric motors or switches because fumes may become ignited.
Maintenance Safety
• Maintain your MVs10 as recommended in this Owners Manual.
• Use only quality replacement parts as recommended by the manufacturer.
• Let the engine cool before making any engine or drive train adjustments.
• Clean your MVs10 carefully and store in a cool, dry place.

As a parent, your child’s safety is your rst priority. Riding a mini bike is
very fun, but just like riding a bicycle, bad decisions can result in injury or
death. As a parent you can prevent accidents by making informed decisions
about if, when and how your child will ride. Always supervise your child
when he/she is riding.
Before you allow your child to ride you need to determine if he/she is
ready. Riding readiness can vary from one person to another. Age and
size are not the only factors that help to determine riding readiness.
There are three other factors that you should consider before deciding
if your child is ready to ride.
First, consider your child’s physical ability. A rider must be able to hold
the scooter up, and be able to reach all handlebar controls and steer the
scoter accurately.
Second, consider your child’s athletic ability. It is a good idea if they can
operate a bicycle before operating any motorized vehicle. Determine if
your child is a good judge of speed and distance while riding a bicycle
and that they react with proper foot and hand actions. Any person who
does not have good coordination, balance and agility should not attempt to ride this motorized scooter.
Finally, determine their mental maturity. It is imperative that you are
honest with yourself when you answer the following questions: Does
your child think through problems and come to logical conclusions?
Does your child obey the rules when they ride their bicycle? If your child
makes bad judgements, takes unnecessary risks and ignores the rules,
they should not ride this motorized scooter.
If you have determined that your child is ready to ride please remember
the following points:
• Never let your child ride without a helmet.
• Your child’s safety is your responsibility. Do not take it lightly.
• Never push you child to try things before they are ready.
• Always supervise your child when they are riding.
• Proper maintenance and upkeep of the scooter is key to safe riding.
Any modications or improper accessories added to the
scooter using parts that are not manufactured by Motovox can make it
unsafe. Motovox strongly recommends that you do not remove any of the
original equipment or make any modications that alter the design and/or
operation of the MVs10 scooter.

The Key Switch is located near the engine on the right
side of the scooter. The key switch is a good way to
keep unwanted users from riding the scooter as it
will not run without the key in the ON position.
Your MVs10 comes with folding keys so that it can
be folded out of the way when you ride. It is always a
good idea to store the extra key in a safe place.

position, the choke is in the ON position and that there is fuel in the primer button.
The locations and operation information of each of these controls in shown below.
The Choke Lever is located on the left side of the
engine and is used to start the engine when it is cold.
It is used to restrict the amount of air in the fuel mixture to start easier and warm up. Flip the lever up to
the ON position to start, and then as the engine warms
up move the lever down to the OFF position.
The Fuel Primer Button is used to start the ow of fuel
to the carburetor and is located below the choke lever
under the carburetor. It is made of soft clear neoprene
to allow you to see the fuel in the line. Use your nger
to push it a few times when the engine is cool until you
see fuel passing through it.
The Pull Starter is used to start the engine. To start the
engine after you have conrmed the readiness of the
above three components, stand on the left side of the
scooter holding the left hand grip rmly. Using your
