4.9 Safety equipment
Wheel and engine protection
Each wheel is equipped with a protective mudguard, to avoid accidental contact with moving parts
and to protect against throwing small objects. Both mudguards are fixed, i.e. mounted with screws
and cannot be disassembled except after intentional action with suitable tools. The electric motor is
also protected against accidental contact, as it is also equipped with fixed protections.
Kickscooter Acceleration
The acceleration control for the translation of the kickscooter is a “maintained action”, which means
that the kickscooter travels on the ground only as long as the driver keeps his thumb pressed on the
control. Another aspect inherent in translation is the behavior of the electric motor: it can start only
after the driver has given a certain speed to the kickscooter with his leg. Cruise Control functionality is
described in section 4.6 of this manual.
Charging safety device
When the plug of the battery charger is connected to the kickscooter, the motor cannot run.
The lever on the right of the handlebar controls the travel speed: to accelerate the engine and
increase the speed, just press the lever, to decrease the speed, release the lever. Remember that the
kickscooter can only start after pushing with the leg for a few meters and reaching a speed of 3 km /
h.
4.10 Conditions of use and expected environments
4.10.1 Intended use
The kickscooter has been designed and built to be driven outdoors, on asphalted or cemented
surfaces, in private areas and courtyards, or it can be used in built-up areas following the current
traffic regulations. The kickscooter is considered, by current legislation, a "device for electric micro-
mobility" and as such is subject to limitations of use for transit on roads open to the public. In the case
of transit in pedestrian areas where the passage of scooters is allowed, the driver must avoid any
behavior that hinders the normal transit of other pedestrians, moreover he must proceed at a
reduced speed (e.g. in some countries not exceeding 6 km / h), he must pay particular attention to
the children. The driver must maintain a regular course, in relation to the traffic context and must
avoid abrupt manoeuvres and stunts.
Check always the local rules and traffic regulations related to the scooter driving after the sunset and
in conditions of reduced visibility. Any change in the state of construction can compromise the
behavior, safety and stability of the kickscooter and can lead to an accident. Other types of use, or the
extension of use beyond that envisaged, do not correspond to the destination assigned by the
manufacturer, and therefore the same cannot assume any responsibility for any resulting damage.
4.10.2 Environment of use
The environment of use must have solid flooring, possibly in concrete asphalt or another smooth
flooring, maximum ascent 15 °, maximum descent 10 °, maximum step 1.5 cm, maximum gutter 3 cm,
free of roughness, holes or depressions, free of obstacles and oil stains. Furthermore, the place of use
must be illuminated by the sun or by artificial lights, in such a way as to guarantee the correct view of
the path and the controls of the scooter (recommended from 300 to 500 lux).
Usage and safety precautions
The kickscooter is not suitable for use on unpaved and uneven surfaces or on slopes greater
than the maximum expected uphill and downhill (see paragraph 4.10.2)

Forbidden usage environments
The kickscooter must NOT be used:
• on extra-urban public roads (please refer always to your Country traffic regulations for details and
exceptions);
• on pavements or areas / roads that are not permitted in general;
• in areas subject to risk of fire or explosion;
• in environments with a corrosive and / or chemically active atmosphere;
• in poorly lit environments;
• on land with a slope greater than expected;
• on uneven or unpaved terrain;
• on soils with oil stains or other materials that can lead to possible loss of adhesion;
• over puddles of water deeper than 2 cm;
• on paths where there are ditches deeper than 3 cm;
• on paths where there are steps higher than 1.5 cm;
• on stairs and in elevators.
