1 Riding Safety

1. Gokart is a recreational product. Before mastering riding skills, you need to practice. Neither Ninebot (Ninebot (Beijing) Tech Co., Ltd. or its subsidiaries and affiliates) nor Segway Inc. is responsible for injuries or damage caused by a driver’s inexperience or failure to follow the instructions in this User Manual or in the New Rider Tutorial.
2. Remember as with any mode of transportation, that whenever you drive the Gokart, you risk injury or death from loss of control, collisions, and falls. You can reduce the risk by following all the instructions and warnings in this manual, but you cannot eliminate all the risks.
3. The Gokart kit contains small parts which can create a choking hazard. Keep small children away from the Gokart.

Pre-Ride Checklist and Preparing for Your Drive

1. Before each drive check and tighten any loose parts, fasteners, straps, and replace damaged components.
2. To avoid accidents caused by improperly inflated or worn tires, check the tire pressure on the Ninebot S-Max tires and wear on all tires before each ride. Do not touch moving or spinning tires.
3. Ensure that the battery level and vehicle operating status are within the specifications contained in the manual of the model being used with the Gokart.
4. Carefully read, understand, and follow all instructions in this User Manual and watch and understand the New Rider Tutorial in the App before your first drive. Do not attempt to drive the Gokart if you are not able to drive in accordance with the instructions in this Manual or you risk serious injury or death.
5. Always wear appropriate shoes, clothing, and protective gear when driving. Protective gear includes the use of a helmet, knee pads, and elbow pads. Use an approved bicycle or skateboard helmet that fits properly with the chin strap in place, and protects the back of your head. Remove or tie back anything loose (i.e. clothing, hair, jewelry, etc.) that could be caught in any moving parts. Always fasten the seat belt before riding and ensure it is securely tightened. A loose seat belt can get stuck in the wheels.
6. Be sure to read and follow all the “WARNING” ( ) “CAUTION” ( ) notices in this manual. Never allow two or more riders at the same time.
7. To avoid burns caused by high temperature, Do not touch the motor.
8. Do not lift or press the rear spoiler. Do not lift the product when holding the taillight. Always lift the rear bumper when you need to carry the Gokart.

Where to Drive

1. When entering public spaces, always comply with local laws and regulations. Only ride in areas where you have first obtained permission from the property owner.
2.  The Gokart is designed to be driven on a dry, flat, hard-surface, free of obstacles, bumps, holes, and other hazards.
3. Do not drive on roadways, near motor vehicles, pedestrians, bicyclists, animals, on or near steep inclines or steps, curbs, near swimming pools, through puddles or other bodies of water. Use caution when riding in areas with trees, posts, or fences. You must leave sufficient space between you and those items to be able to safely pass them.
4. Do not ride the Gokart at night.
5. Do not ride on any ramp or incline that exceeds the maximum slope.
6. The Gokart is never to be ridden indoors.
7. Do not ride in the snow, rain, or on roads which are wet, muddy, icy, or that are slippery for any reason. Do not ride over obstacles (including, but not limited to, sand, loose gravel, or sticks). Doing so could result in a loss of balance or traction and could cause a collision.
8. Do not allow the Gokart to get wet. You risk damage to the batteries and potential for a fire or explosion due to a wet battery pack.

How to Drive

1. Gokart is not a means of transportation. Please obey local laws, regulations, and policies when driving.
2. Do not turn the Gokart on unless it is parked on flat ground. As with other vehicles, faster speeds require longer braking distance. Sudden acceleration or braking on smooth surfaces could lead to wheel slip and collisions.
3. Be cautious and always keep a safe distance between you and others when driving. Be alert and slow down when entering unfamiliar areas. Do not drive at unsafe speeds. You must always use good judgment based on your driving skills and the surrounding environment.
4. Do not allow anyone to drive your Gokart on his/her own unless he/she has carefully read this manual, and followed the New Rider Tutorial. The safety of new riders is your responsibility. Assist new riders until they are comfortable with the basic operation of the Gokart and make sure each new rider wears a helmet and other protective gear.
5. To avoid distraction when driving your Gokart, do not use a cell phone, camera, headphones, earbuds, or perform any other activities while driving.
6. When approaching or crossing an intersection, road, corner, or gate of any kind, always slow down and yield to others.
7. Be alert! Scan both far ahead and in front of you. Your eyes are your best tool for safely avoiding obstacles and low traction surfaces (including, but not limited to, wet ground, loose sand, loose gravel, and ice). Use caution when transitioning over differing terrain.
8. Always slow down when turning. Turning at a high speed can cause loss of control, possible vehicle turn-over, and risk of injury or death.
9. Do not perform stunts of any kind. All four tires must remain on the ground at all times.
10. While driving the Gokart, always remain seated with arms and legs inside the Gokart.
11. Do not carry cargo of any kind.
12. If the Gokart makes an abnormal sound or signals an alarm while driving, stop immediately and do not use the Gokart or Ninebot S-Max until the cause of the noise/alarm has been identified and corrected. Contact after-sales service for assistance.

Maintenance

Cleaning and Storing
Use a soft, wet cloth to wipe the mainframe clean. Hard to remove dirt can be scrubbed with a toothbrush and toothpaste, then cleaned with a soft, wet cloth. Store your vehicle in a cool, dry place. Do not store it outdoors for extended periods of time. Exposure to sunlight and temperature extremes (both hot and cold) will accelerate the aging process of the plastic components and may reduce battery life.

WARNING
Do not wash your Gokart Pro or S-Max with alcohol, gasoline, acetone, or other corrosive/volatile solvents. These substances may damage the appearance and internal structure of the vehicle. Do not wash your vehicle with a power washer or high pressure hose.
Make sure the Gokart Pro or S-Max is powered OFF, the charging cable is unplugged, and the rubber cap on the charge port is tightly sealed before cleaning; otherwise you may expose yourself to electric shock or damage the electronic components.

Battery Pack Maintenance

1. Do not use battery packs of other models or brands, otherwise there may be safety risks.
2. Only use a Ninebot or Segway approved charge cable. Please use it properly within the rated range.
3. Do not place the battery pack in the fire. Doing so will cause battery failure, overheating or even fire and explosion.
4. Do not store or charge the battery at temperatures outside the stated limits (see Specifications).
5. Do not discard or destroy the battery. Refer to your local laws and regulations regarding battery recycling and/or disposal.
6. Remember to charge the battery after each use. Completely draining the battery may cause permanent damage to the battery.

NOTE
Typically, a fully charged battery should retain charge for 120-180 days when in standby. Electronics inside the battery record the charge-discharge condition of the battery; damage caused by over-discharge or under-discharge will not be covered by the Limited Warranty.
A well-maintained battery can perform well even after many miles of riding. Charge the battery after each ride and avoid draining the battery completely. When used at room temperature (70°F [22°C]) the battery range and performance is at its best; whereas using it at temperatures below 32°F (0°C) can decrease range and performance. Typically, at -4°F (-20°C) range can be half that of the same battery at 70°F (22°C). The battery range will recover when the temperature rises. More details are available in the App.

WARNING

• Do not attempt to disassemble the battery. Risk of fire. No user-serviceable parts.
• Do not ride when the ambient temperature is outside the machine operation temperature (see Specifications) because  low/high temperatures will limit the maximum power/torque. Doing so could cause personal injury or property damage due to slips or falls.
