LIFTING YOUR DRAGONFLY
Always use the rear carrier handle when lifting the Dragony. Always use
sound judgment and lift safely, including bending your knees when lifting
heavy objects. Do not attempt to lift the Dragony if you are pregnant or
suffer from any medical conditions that could be aggravated by bearing
weight such as those related to joints or back injuries or weakness.
Always ask for assistance if needed. Your Dragony is better pulled like
luggage.
PHYSICAL IMPAIRMENTS
Consult your physician before riding the Dragony if you have any
disabilities and impairments (visual, hearing, language, seizure, etc).
ALWAYS WEAR PROTECTIVE GEAR
Always wear appropriate head protection. We recommend you wear a
full-face helmet, knees, elbows, hands and upper body protective gear.
Always wear appropriate footwear. Make sure your footwear ts securely
and does not expose your toes.
PLASTIC COVERINGS
WARNING. Keep all plastic coverings and small plastic parts away
from children to avoid suffocation.
MINIMUM RIDER AGE
The Dragony is designed to be used and operated by adults and should
not be used by anyone under the age of 16 years old.
MINIMUM RIDER HEIGHT
The Dragony is designed to be used and operated by riders with a
minimum height of 150cm / 60 inches.
SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS FOR RIDING IN LOW LIGHT/NIGHT TIME
Ensure that you are always visible, including by wearing high-visibility
clothing and have you lights on when riding in low light or the night time.
Before you ride, check that your front and rear lighting equipment and
your horn and safety components are fully functional.

BEGINNERS MUST RIDE WITH CAUTION
If you have little or no experience riding the Dragony, use caution.
Familiarize yourself with all the hand controls, components and the
Dragony’s performance (acceleration, braking, turning). Start riding
with the Dragony in Driving Mode 1 (D1). Practice in a safe zone – avoid
moving vehicles and pedestrians. Use personal protective gear, visibility
equipment (both physical and vehicular) and make sure your horn works
properly.
BRAKING PRECAUTION
Do not ride until you are familiar with the Dragony’s braking systems.
Your Dragony is equipped with an electric front braking system
operated by the right lever and a mechanical drum rear braking system
operated by the left lever. Test the braking mechanisms by kick-pushing
your Dragony and applying the brakes.
Always gently apply your back (left) brake rst.
Using the front brakes rst puts you at risk of shifting your weight
forward and toppling over the handlebars. Use your back brake (left
lever) rst then feather (apply light amounts of pressure in quick
succession) to your front brake (right lever) until both brake levers are
fully pressed and you are at a complete stop.
Avoid sudden braking.
Always anticipate braking ahead of any obstacle. Always keep your
weight evenly distributed on your Dragony, especially when braking to
avoid falling forward.
UPHILL RIDING
Do not exceed the rated slope for your Dragony. Exceeding the rated
slope could cause overheating, and lead to mechanical and/or electronic
damage. Once the hazards and conditions of an incline have been
assessed, we recommend approaching a hill with increased speed. It is
normal for the vehicle to slow down as you climb the hill; the motor and
battery are working harder at this point.
There is an automatic cut off point.
If you are attempting a hill which is particularly long, the automatic cut
off can occur; it is the system’s way of avoiding damage. If this happens,
stop and turn off your Dragony, allow the motors to cool and then start
up the Dragony again to proceed with your journey.
