Before You Begin
RECOMMENDED RIDING PRACTICES
Parental supervision is required. Only use the scooter in a controlled
environment that is free of potential traffic hazards and not on public
streets. Avoid use in any areas where any motor vehicles are operating. Have
two hands on the handlebars at all times. Never allow more than one child at a
time to ride the scooter. Never use near steps, slopes, driveways, hills,
roadways, alleys or swimming pool areas. Do not ride a scooter in wet weather.
Scooters are intended and made to be used on concreted or smoothed paved areas
that are fiat, clean and dry, free from any loose debris such as rocks, sticks
or gravel. Wet, slick or uneven and rough surfaces may impair traction and
contribute to possible accidents. Avoid riding this scooter in mud, ice,
puddles or water. Avoid excessive speeds that can be associated with downhill
rides. Do not ride at night or when visibility is impaired.

Always ensure the child is wearing proper protective equipment such as a
certified safety helmet. A helmet may be legally required by local law, we
advise you to check with your local law enforcement. Users should always wear
shoes that are fully enclosed with flat soles.
FAILURE TO USE COMMON SENSE AND HEED THE ABOVE WARNINGS FURTHER INCREASES THE
RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK AND WITH APPROPRIATE AND SERIOUS
ATTENTION TO SAFE OPERATION. USE CAUTION.

maintenance of your scooter can reduce the risk of injury. Always inspect your
