DUNE BUGGY

WARNING: Riding an electric vehicle can be a hazardous activity.
Certain conditions may cause the equipment to fail without fault of the
manufacturer. Like other electric vehicles, the Dune Buggy can and is
intended to move, and it is therefore possible to lose control, fall off and/or
get into dangerous situations that no amount of care, instruction or expertise
can eliminate. If such things occur you can be seriously injured or die, even
when using safety equipment and other precautions. RIDE AT YOUR OWN
RISK AND USE COMMON SENSE.

This manual contains many warnings and cautions concerning the
consequences of failing to maintain, inspect or properly use your electric
vehicle. Because any incident can result in serious injury or even death, we
do not repeat the warning of possible serious injury or death each time such
a possibility is mentioned.

APPROPRIATE RIDER USE AND
PARENTAL SUPERVISION

This manual contains important safety information. It is your responsibility
to review this information and make sure that all riders understand all
warnings, cautions, instructions and safety topics and assure that young
riders are able to safely and responsibly use this product. Razor USA
recommends that you periodically review and reinforce the information in
this manual with younger riders, and that you inspect and maintain your
children’s vehicle to insure their safety.

The recommended rider age of 8 years is only an estimate, and can
be affected by the rider’s size, weight or skills. Any rider unable to fit
comfortably on the Dune Buggy 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
rules.

Keep this product away from small children and remember that this product
is intended for use only by persons who are, at a minimum, completely
comfortable and competent while operating the vehicle.

DO NOT EXCEED THE WEIGHT LIMIT OF 120lbs (54kgs). Rider weight does not

necessarily mean a person’s size is appropriate to fit or maintain control of
the Dune Buggy.

Do not touch the brakes or electric motor on your electric vehicle when in
use as they can become very hot.

Refer to the following section on safety for additional warnings.

ACCEPTABLE RIDING PRACTICES AND
CONDITIONS

Always check and obey any local laws or regulations which may
affect the locations where the Dune Buggy may be used.

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

The Dune Buggy is meant to be used on private property and on closed
courses and not on public streets or sidewalks. Do not ride your electric
vehicle in any areas where pedestrian or vehicle traffic is present.

Do not activate the throttle unless you are on the electric vehicle and in a
safe, outdoor environment suitable for riding.

This product was manufactured for performance and durability but are not
impervious to damage. Jumping or other aggressive riding can over-stress
and damage any product, including the Dune Buggy, and the rider assumes all
risks associated with high-stress activity.

Be careful and know your limitations. Risk of injury increases as the degree
of riding difficulty increases. The rider assumes all risk associated with
aggressive riding activities.

Maintain a hold on the handlebars at all times.

Never carry passengers or allow more than one person at a time to ride the
electric vehicle.

Never use near steps or swimming pools.

Keep your fingers and other body parts away from the drive chain, steering
system, wheels and all other moving components.

Never use headphones or a cell phone when riding.

Never hitch a ride with another vehicle.

Do not ride the Dune Buggy in wet or icy weather and never immerse the
electric vehicle in water, as the electrical and drive components could be
damaged by water or create other possibly unsafe conditions.

Wet, slick, bumpy, uneven or rough surfaces may increase risks of use. Do
not drive the electric vehicle in mud, ice, puddles or water. Avoid excessive
speeds that can be associated with downhill rides. Never risk damaging
surfaces such as carpet or flooring by use of an electric vehicle indoors.

Do not ride at night or when visibility is limited.

PROPER RIDING ATTIRE

Always wear proper protective equipment such as an approved safety helmet
(with chin strap securely buckled), elbow pads and kneepads. A helmet may
be legally required by local law or regulation in your area. A long-sleeved
shirt, long pants and gloves are recommended. Always wear athletic shoes
(lace-up shoes with rubber soles), never drive barefooted or in sandals,
and keep shoelaces tied and out of the way of the wheels, motor and drive
system.

USING THE CHARGER

The charger supplied with the electric vehicle should be regularly examined
for damage to the cord, plug, enclosure and other parts, and in the event
of such damage, the bike must not be charged until the charger has been
repaired or replaced.

Use only with the recommended charger.

The charger is not a toy.

Always disconnect from the charger prior to wiping down and cleaning your
electric vehicle with liquid.

FAILURE TO USE COMMON SENSE AND HEED THE ABOVE
WARNINGS INCREASES RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY. USE WITH
APPROPRIATE CAUTION AND SERIOUS ATTENTION TO SAFE
OPERATION.
