General Safety Advices:
- Electric scooters are subject to stress and wear; components can react differently to fatigue. Replace components that show cracks, scratches, or discoloration in high-stress areas.
- Keep small parts and plastic protection out of reach of children.
- Avoid high-traffic or congested areas. Anticipate trajectory and speed, respect road regulations and pedestrian codes.
- Pay attention to yourself and others.
- Do not divert the scooter from its original use or use it for acrobatic stunts.
- Regularly check the tightening of bolted elements (wheel axles, folding system, steering system, brake system).
- Do not modify the vehicle, including the steerer tube, sleeve, stem, folding mechanism, and brakes.
Warnings:
- Comply with traffic laws and speed limits.
- Any modification increasing speed or power is prohibited and voids the warranty.
- Adhere to the age requirements for riding an electric scooter in your country.
- Wear a full-face helmet and other protective gear, including proper shoes.
- Consider reflective gear for night rides.
- Do not modify the scooter or spare parts yourself, as this creates a risk of accidents and malfunction.
- Not recommended for use in the rain for safety and longevity.
- Punk Rider is water-resistant, but do not immerse it in water.
- Before use, check the condition of the scooter, including tire wear, brake pads, and proper functioning.
