Wrap both adjustable straps under your self-balancing scooter and attach the second hook of each adjustable strap to the front of each pedal mount
Adjust both adjustable straps so that they are secured tightly around your scooter.

Before Riding

WARNING : Any scooter that does not work properly can cause you to lose control and fall. Inspect the entire device thoroughly before every ride, and do not ride it until any problems have been corrected

Hover kart Operation

It is important that you fully understand all elements of your GOTRAX Hover kart. If these elements are not used correctly, you will not have full control of your GOTRAX Hover kart. Before you ride fast, or outside of a controlled environment, lean the functions of the various mechanisms on your GOTRAX Hovercar

Practice using the elements of your GOTRAX Hover kart at slower speeds in a flat, open area before taking the GOTRAX Hover kart on public roads.

WARNING : Do not ride a GOTRAX Hover kart with a part that is damaged: replace the damaged part before riding.

Pre-ride Hover kart Checklist

Ensure that your GOTRAX Hover kart and scooter are in proper working order each and every time you ride. If a part of the GOTRAX Hover kart does not function correctly, please contact our Customer Support Center.

Ensure your tire pressure is at the suggested PSI level for your scooter before riding.
Ensure the battery of your scooter is fully charged before riding your GOTRAX Hover kart.
Ensure that the screws on the GOTRAX Hover kart are locked firmly before each ride.
Check to ensure the tires of your scooter are not worn.
Check to ensure all connections are maintained on your scooter.

.Safety Precautions

The first rule in safe riding is to use common sense. A GOTRAX Hover kart is vulnerable. It cannot protect you in a crash, against impact, or loss of control the driving a car can. A GOTRAX Hover kart can tip over sideways or pitch you over the front wheel. It moves faster than a typical scooter. It does not have bumpers or airbags as a car does. This section is a guide of safe riding practices for operation. Make sure you are using your GOTRAX Hover kart properly.

Different localities and countries have different laws governing riding on public roads, and you should check with local officials to ensure you are complying with these laws.

GOTRAX Hover kart is not liable for tickets or violations given to riders who do not follow these regulations

For your safety, always wear a helmet that meets CPSC or CE safety standards. In the event of an accident, a helmet can protect you from serious injury and in some cases, even death.
Obey all local laws, stop signs, pedestrian crosswalks, etc.
If riding with friends and multiple GOTRAX Hover karts, ride single file in a straight line.
Have a satisfactory signaling device (bell, horn, etc.) to warn drivers and pedestrians of your approach.
Ride defensively, expect the unexpected.
Give pedestrians the right-of-way.
Do not ride too close to pedestrians and alert them if you intend to pass them from behind.
Slow down at all street intersections and look to the left and right before crossing.
Obey all traffic signals.
Always use proper hand signals for turning and stopping. Give signals 100ft before stopping or turning and always return both hands to the handlebars before stopping or turning.
Watch for cars pulling out into traffic and for the sudden opening of car doors.
Avoid potholes, drainage gates or other hazards.
Cross railroad tracks at a right angle.
Be careful when riding on soft road edges, gravel, sand and uneven surfaces. Ride slowly and avoid quick turns when riding on these surfaces.
Never hitch onto other vehicles.
Do not “stunt” ride or race in traffic.
Do not weave in and out of traffic or swerve from side to side
A crash can put extraordinary stress on GOTRAX Hoverkart components, possibly causing them to fatigue prematurely. Components suffering from stress fatigue can fall suddenly, causing loss of control or serious injury

CAUTION: RIDING IN WET WEATHER

Brakes do not work as well under wet conditions as they do when dry. It is recommended that you do not ride your GOTRAX Hover kart in wet weather, as there are electronic components in your scooter that may be damaged if exposed to water.

This product is strictly forbidden to use on roads and highways, unless your local laws state otherwise. You must wear a safety helmet, knee and elbow pads and other necessary protective gear when riding your GOTRAX Hover kart.
Due to the particularity of the product, the assembly pieces are to be checked before every ride to avoid an accident while riding.
Do not make sharp turns as you may drift and over-turn the GOTRAX Hover kart, which can result in injury to yourself and/or damage the unit.
Do not operate near swimming pools or other bodies of water.

Riding your Hover kart
