 Riding Safety

1.  S-Max is a recreational product. Before mastering riding skills, you need to practice. Neither Ninebot (means Ninebot
   (Beijing) Tech Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries and affiliate) nor Segway Inc. is responsible for any injuries or damage caused by a rider’s inexperience or failure to follow the instructions in this document.

2.  Please understand that you can reduce the risk by following all the instructions and warnings in this manual, but you cannot eliminate all the risks. Remember that whenever you ride the S-Max you risk injury or death from loss of control, collisions, and falls. When entering into public spaces always comply with the local laws and regulations. As with other vehicles, faster speeds require a longer braking distance. Sudden braking on smooth surfaces could lead to wheel slip, loss of balance, or falls. Be cautious and always keep a safe distance between you and other people or vehicles when riding. Be alert and slow down when entering unfamiliar areas.

3.  Always wear a helmet when riding. Use an approved bicycle or skateboard helmet that fits properly with the chin strap in place, and provides protection for the back of your head.

4.  Do not attempt your first ride in any area where you might encounter children, pedestrians, pets, vehicles, bicycles, or other obstacles and potential hazards.

5.  Respect pedestrians by always yielding the right of way. Pass on the left whenever possible. When approaching a pedestrian from the front, stay to the right and slow down. Avoid startling pedestrians. When approaching from behind, announce yourself and slow down to walking speed when passing. Please obey local traffic laws and regulations.

6.  In places without laws and regulations governing self-balancing electric vehicles, comply with the safety guidelines outlined in this manual. Neither Ninebot nor Segway Inc. is responsible for any property damage, personal injury/death, accidents, or legal disputes caused by violations of the safety instructions.

7.  Do not allow anyone to ride your S-Max on his/her own unless they have carefully read this manual, watched the safety video, and followed the New Rider Tutorial on the Segway-Ninebot App. The safety of new riders is your responsibility. Assist new riders until they are comfortable with the basic operation of the S-Max. Make sure each new rider wears a helmet and other protective gear.

8.  Before each ride check for loose fasteners, damaged components, and low tire pressure. If the S-Max makes abnormal sounds or signals an alarm, immediately stop riding. Diagnose your S-Max via the Segway-Ninebot App and call your dealer/distributor for service.

9.  Be alert! Scan both far ahead and in front of your S-Max — 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).

10.  To reduce risk of injury, you must read and follow all “CAUTION” and “WARNING” notices in this document. Do not ride at an unsafe speed. Under no circumstance should you ride on roads with motor vehicles. The manufacturer recommends riders be 16+ years old. Always follow these safety instructions:

11.  People who should not ride the S-Max include:

  *  Anyone under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
  *  Anyone who suffers from a disease that puts them at risk if they engage in strenuous physical activity.
  *  Anyone who has problems with balance or with motor skills that would interfere with their ability to maintain balance.
  *  Anyone whose height or weight is outside the stated limits (see Specifications).
2. Pregnant women.
3.  Riders under the age of 16 years old should ride under adult supervision.
4.  Comply with local laws and regulations when riding this product. Do not ride where prohibited by local laws.
5.  To ride safely, you must be able to clearly see what is in front of you and you must be clearly visible to others.
6.  Do not ride in the snow, in the rain, or on roads which are wet, muddy, icy, or that are slippery for any reason. Do not ride over obstacles (sand, loose gravel, or sticks). Doing so could result in a loss of balance or traction and could cause a fall.
7.  Do not accelerate or decelerate suddenly. Do not accelerate when the S-Max tilts back or sounds an alarm. Do not attempt to override the speed limiter.

11.  Do not attempt to charge your S-Max if it, the charger, or the power outlet is wet.
12.  As with any electronic device, use a surge protector when charging to help protect your S-Max from damage due to power surges and voltage spikes. Only use the Segway supplied charger. Do not use a charger from any other product.
13.  Use only Ninebot or Segway-approved parts and accessories. Do not modify your S-Max. Modifications to your S-Max could interfere with the operation of the S-Max, could result in serious injury and/or damage, and could void the Limited Warranty.
14.  Do not sit on the steering bar. Doing so could result in serious injury and/or damage to your S-Max.
15.  Prolonged Exposure to UV Rays, Rain and the Elements May Damage the Enclosure Materials, Store Indoors When Not in Use.
16. . WARNING – Risk of fire and electric shock – no user serviceable parts. Do not touch the metal contacts, dismantle or puncture the casing. Keep away from metal objects to prevent short circuit.
17.  They are not intended for use at elevations greater than 2000 m above sea level.

Assembly and Riding Safety Video

After disassembling the steering bar of S-Max, it can be mounted onto the body of the Gokart and assembled into Ninebot GoKart Pro.  Switch the S-Max to Gokart mode on the App before assembly. How to: Log in on the App > connect your S-Max > Settings > Gokart mode.

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
