PERSONAL
WARNING:
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS IN THIS USER GUIDE TO ENSURE A SAFE RIDE. Failure to read and understand all information in this user guide increases risk of injury due to falls or other incidents. Riding the unit takes skill and must be learned under adult supervision. By riding, users risk serious injury or death from collisions, falls or loss of control.
RIDER SPECIFICATIONS
WARNING:
NOT FOR USERS UNDER AGE 8 OR HEAVIER THAN 120 LBS (54 KG). DO NOT EXCEED THE MAXIMUM WEIGHT LIMIT OF 120 LBS (54 KG) - including backpacks and other
items that might be carried. Exceeding the weight limit could injure the rider and damage the unit. Rider weight alone does not necessarily mean a person’s size is appropriate to fit or maintain control of the unit. Keep this product away from small children and remember that this product is only intended for use by persons who are, at minimum, comfortable and competent while operating it.
WARNING:
Riding any electric product can be a hazardous activity. Certain conditions may cause the equipment to fail without fault of the manufacturer. Like other electric ride-on products, this scooter 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, the user can be seriously injured or die, even when using safety equipment and other precautions. RIDE AT YOUR OWN RISK AND USE COMMON SENSE.
INSURANCE
WARNING:
Your insurance policies may not provide coverage for accidents involving the use of this electric ride-on product. To determine if coverage is provided, contact your insurance company prior to use.
BATTERY AND CHARGER USAGE
Children under the age of 8 should not be permitted to use this product. The recommended age of 8 is only an estimate and can be affected by the rider’s size, weight, maturity or skills - not every rider 8 years or older will be suited to the product. Any rider unable to fit comfortably on the unit should not ride. 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. It is emphasized that adults are strongly advised not to disregard this recommendation or permit young children to ride this unit.
Because products like this scooter present potential hazards plainly associated with their use, THE NEED FOR EXERCISE OF PARENTAL RESPONSIBILITY IN SELECTING RIDING PRODUCTS APPROPRIATE TO THE AGE OF A RIDER, OR PARENTAL SUPERVISION IN SITUATIONS IN WHICH CHILDREN OF VARIOUS AGES MAY HAVE ACCESS TO THE SAME RIDING PRODUCTS, IS IMPORTANT. Not every product is appropriate for every age or size of a user, and recommendations are intended to reflect the nature of the hazards and the expected mental or physical ability, or both, of a rider to cope with the hazards.
WARNING:

FUTURE USE AND OTHER RIDERS
Persons with any mental or physical conditions that may make them susceptible to injury, impair their physical dexterity or mental capabilities to recognize, understand and follow safety instructions, and/or hinder their ability to understand the hazards inherent in a product’s use, should not use or be permitted to use products inappropriate for their abilities. Persons with heart conditions, head, back or neck ailments (or prior surgeries to those areas of the body), or pregnant women should not operate this product.

OPERATIONAL SAFETY INSPECTION BEFORE USE
WARNING:
Any type of wheeled activity can be hazardous. Wheels are intended to move and it is possible to get into dangerous situations and/or lose control and/or fall off. In such situations, serious injury or death may occur. Always be aware of activity around you. Only use the scooter in areas free from fixed or moving hazards. Watch your surroundings for pedestrians, animals and riders of other wheeled products or vehicles. Never use near motor vehicles.
WARNING:
Never operate any moving product, including this unit, under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
Ride defensively. Watch out for potential obstacles that could catch your wheel(s) or force you to swerve suddenly or lose control. Avoid pedestrians, skaters, scooters, bikes, children and animals who may cross your path, and respect the rights and property of others.
Only use in an area that is suitable for safe operation.
Never carry passengers or allow more than one person at a time
to ride the product. Never hitch a ride with another product.
Ensure all safety labels are in place and understood by everyone, especially the rider.
Do not use headphones or a cell phone while riding.
Always maintain a safe speed. Do not move faster than you are
comfortable with, regardless of the unit’s speed abilities.
Do not make sharp turns while accelerating.
Do not attempt stunts or tricks on the scooter. It is not made to
withstand abuse from misuse, such as jumping, curb grinding or any other type of stunts. Racing, stunt riding, or other maneuvers also enhance the risk of losing control, or may cause uncon­trolled rider actions or reactions.
The scooter is intended for use on at, dry surfaces, such as pavement or level ground, without loose debris, such as sand, leaves, rocks or gravel.
Only use this product on completely smooth surfaces. Avoid obstacles and slippery surfaces, which could result in a loss of balance or traction and cause a fall.
Avoid sharp bumps, drainage grates, and sudden surface changes.
Do not ride the product in wet or icy weather. Do not immerse the product in water, as the electrical and drive components could get damaged by water or possibly create other unsafe conditions.
Wet, slick, bumpy, uneven or rough surfaces may increase risks. Do not ride this product in mud, ice, puddles or water. Avoid excessive speeds that can be associated with downhill rides.
Never use near steps or swimming pools.
Do not ride at night or when visibility is limited.
Be aware of your height when using the scooter. Be careful of
door frames, branches, signs or lower obstructions.
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.
Do not allow hands, feet, hair, body parts, clothing, or similar articles to come in contact with moving parts, wheels, or drive train chain while the motor is running.
WARNING:
RISK OF FIRE: No user-serviceable parts. Always inspect the unit prior to use. Properly inspecting and
maintaining this product can reduce the risk of injury. Before use, check to confirm that any and all guards and covers originally supplied by manufacturer are in place and in serviceable condition. Check that the brake system is functioning properly, that the tires are in good condition and have sufficient tread remaining. The unit should be maintained and repaired in accordance with the manufacturer’s specifications using only the manufacturer’s authorized replacement parts with installation performed by dealers or other skilled persons. DO NOT open the unit, or you risk voiding the limited warranty.
HARDWARE
Before every ride, check all parts, such as nuts, bolts, fasteners, etc. to ensure they are secure and assembled correctly. There should not be any unusual rattles or sounds from loose parts or broken components. If the product is damaged, do not ride.
WHEELS
Practice riding only in wide open ares clear from curbs, parking blocks and other obstacles, including things you may fall on or into if you lose your balance. Impacting the wheels against any hard surface can damage the unit. Wheels are not covered under your limited warranty.
SAFETY GEAR AND ATTIRE
Always wear proper protective equipment, such as an approved safety helmet (with chin strap securely buckled). A helmet may be legally required by local law or regulation in your area. Elbow pads, kneepads, wrist guards, a long-sleeved shirt, long pants and gloves are recommended. Always wear athletic shoes (lace-up shoes with rubber soles) and keep shoelaces tied and out of the way of the wheels, motor and drive system. Never ride barefooted or in sandals.
