Important Note To Parents About Safe Riding
Your child's safety will depend on your commitment to always provide a safe riding environment
and a properly maintained vehicle. As with any moving vehicle there are possible safety risks; be
sure to heed to the following precautions.
1. Always equip your child with suitable protective gear and riding apparel. Be sure he or
she always wears a helmet, over-the-ankle footwear, eye protection, long pants, and a
long-sleeved shirt while riding.
2. Never allow your child to carry a passenger. This scooter is designed for an OPERATOR
ONLY.
3. This scooter is designed to be operated only on flat, paved surfaces, never operate off-
road.
4. This scooter was not designed for racing or performing tricks.
5. Always obey local laws and regulations for operating scooters.
6. You, the parent (and most likely “riding instructor/mechanic” as well), must be familiar
with scooter controls and maintenance requirements plus riding techniques. Read and
understand the owner’s manual provided with the scooter. Review all instructions and
warnings with your child.
7. You must determine your child’s readiness to ride this scooter. Your child should
already be familiar with scooter controls (location and function) and basic riding
techniques. Your child should also be physically large enough, and strong enough to be
able to hold up the scooter, plus be able to pick it up if it is on its side.
8. Your child’s safety depends in part on the good mechanical condition of the scooter. Be
sure to follow the maintenance and adjustment requirements contained in this manual.
Be sure your child understands the importance of checking all items thoroughly before
riding the scooter. Also, familiarity with the scooter is important should a problem occur
far fro m help.
9. Do not allow your child to ride unsupervised. He or she should always ride in the
company of an experienced adult.
10. Encourage your child not to ride beyond his or her skill level or faster than conditions
safely allow. Have them practice advanced riding maneuvers under controlled
conditions.
11. Make sure that your child tells someone where they are planning on riding and when they
intend to return. Discuss the ride with your child before you leave so he or she will know
in advance what riding techniques may be necessary to navigate safely.
