16 Performance + Electric Scooter User Manual
Safety Recommendations.
1. Laws differ by jurisdiction or country on the riding of electric scooters. You must
always follow the law of the region in which you intend to ride your REEL scooter. It
may be illegal to ride your REEL scooter in public places, public highways or public
land. Reference to these areas below does not mean you can ride your REEL scooter
in those areas. Head to
ridereel.co.uk/escooterlaw for more information around the
law on riding electric scooters in the U.K.
2. Before riding your REEL, you should understand and comply with all recommended
safety precautions. It’s important to bear in mind the possibility of collision and injury
due to riding in close proximity to pedestrians, cyclists and motor vehicles. You should
monitor your speed to avoid serious accidents; the higher the speed of the scooter the
greater the braking distance. On smooth surfaces the braking may cause skidding of
the scooter, resulting in loss of balance and even injury. Therefore, whilst riding your
REEL you should be vigilant to adhere to an appropriate speed; keep your distance
from pedestrians and/or with other vehicles.
3. While riding your REEL, respect the rights of pedestrians. Reduce speed when passing
them and go to the opposite side of where they are walking to allow as much space as
possible. Make use of the bell to make pedestrians aware of your presence where relevant.
4. There may be legal restrictions or prohibitions when using an electric scooter on public
highways and footways, please abide by local laws and regulations when using this product.
5. You should not lend your REEL to others who do not know how to drive a scooter.
Please spend time teaching a friend how to use the scooter before allowing them to ride it.
You should also ensure the person riding has the correct safety gear on before riding.
6. You should inspect your REEL before each use; checking for damage, flat tyres,
signs of excessive wear and abnormal sounds when powering up and/or riding. If you
notice any of the above you should contact us immediately at info@ridereel.co.uk to
instruct you further.
