Brake
Check the brake for proper function. When you step on the
rear-fender brake, the brake should provide positive braking
action. When you apply the brake with the throttle on/
engaged, the brake cut-off switch should cut power to
the motor.
Wheels
Periodically inspect the wheels for excessive wear.
Frame, Fork and Handlebars
Check for cracks or broken connections. Although broken
frames are rare, it is possible for an aggressive rider to run into
a curb or object and wreck, bend or break a frame. Get in the
habit of inspecting your scooter on a regular basis.
Hardware/Loose Parts
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. Reference “Safety Warnings” on
pages 1 and 2 of this manual.
Safety Gear
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 and long pants
are recommended. Always wear shoes and keep shoelaces
tied and out of the way of the wheels and motor. NEVER RIDE
BAREFOOTED OR IN SANDALS.
Laws and Regulations
Always check and obey any local laws or regulations.
Insurance
Do not assume that your existing insurance policies necessarily
provide coverage for product use. Check with your insurance
company for information regarding insurance.
