SAFETY WARNINGS

WARNING: Riding a Pocket Mod Petite does present potential risks and caution is required. Like any riding product, the Pocket Mod Petite has inherent hazards associated with its use (for example, falling off or riding it into a hazardous situation). Like any riding product, the Pocket Mod Petite can and is intended to move and it is, therefore, of course, possible to lose control or otherwise get into dangerous situations. Both children and adults responsible for supervising them must recognize that if such things occur, a rider can be seriously injured or die, even when using safety equipment and other precautions. RIDE AT YOUR OWN RISK AND USE COMMON SENSE.
WARNING: PARENTAL AND ADULT RESPONSIBILITY AND SUPERVISION IS NECESSARY: Because products, like the Pocket Mod Petite, can and do present potential hazards plainly associated with their use, it is well recognized THE NEED FOR EXERCISE OF PARENTAL RESPONSIBILITY IN SELECTING RIDING PRODUCTS APPROPRIATE TO THE AGE OF A CHILD, OR PARENTAL SUPERVISION IN SITUATIONS IN WHICH CHILDREN OF VARIOUS AGES MAY HAVE ACCESS TO THE SAME RIDING PRODUCTS, IS IMPORTANT. Not every product is appropriate for every age or size of child, and different age recommendations are found within this category of product which are intended to reflect the nature of the hazards and the expected mental or physical ability, or both, of a child to cope with the hazards. The recommended minimum rider age is 7 and older. Any rider unable to fit comfortably on the Pocket Mod Petite should not attempt to ride it. A parent’s decision to allow his or her child to ride this product should be based on the child’s maturity, skill and ability to follow rules. Keep this product away from small children and remember that it is intended for use only by persons who are, at a minimum, completely comfortable and competent while operating the Pocket Mod Petite. Persons with any mental or physical conditions that may make them susceptible to injury, impair their physical dexterity or mental capabilities to recognize, understand, and follow safety instructions and to be able to understand the hazards inherent in Pocket Mod Petite use, should not use or be permitted to use products inappropriate for their abilities. Persons with heart conditions, head, back or neck ailments (or prior surgeries to these areas of the body), or pregnant women, should be cautioned not to operate such products. DO NOT EXCEED THE WEIGHT LIMIT OF 110 lb (50 kg). Rider weight does not necessarily mean a person’s size is appropriate to fit or maintain control of the Pocket Mod Petite. CHECK AND MAINTAIN PRODUCT CONDITIONS Before use, check to confirm that any and all guards or other covers are in place and in serviceable condition. Check that the brake is functioning properly, and that tires are inflated properly and have sufficient tread remaining. The Pocket Mod Petite should be maintained and repaired in accordance with the manufacturer’s specifications, using only the manufacturer’s authorized replacement parts, and should not be modified from the manufacturer’s original design and configuration.

ACCEPTABLE RIDING PRACTICES AND CONDITIONS

Always check and obey any local laws or regulations, which may affect the locations where the Pocket Mod Petite may be used. Keep safely away from cars and motor vehicle traffic at all times, and only use where allowed and with caution. Do not activate the throttle unless you are on the Pocket Mod Petite and in a safe, outdoor environment suitable for riding. The normal powered top speed of the Pocket Mod Petite will be approximately 8 mph (13 km/h), which can be affected by conditions, such as rider weight, inclines, tire inflation and battery charge level. Avoid excessive speeds that can be associated with downhill rides. Maintain a hold on the handlebars at all times. Do not touch the brake or hub motor on your Pocket Mod Petite when in use or immediately after riding as these parts can become very hot. Ride defensively. Watch out for potential obstacles that could catch your wheel or force ayou to swerve suddenly or lose control. Be careful to avoid pedestrians, skaters, skateboards, scooters, bikes, children or animals who may enter your path, and respect the rights and property of others. The Pocket Mod Petite is intended for use on flat, dry surfaces, such as pavement or level ground, without loose debris, such as sand, leaves, rocks or gravel. Wet, slick, bumpy, uneven or rough surfaces may impair traction and contribute to possible accidents. Do not ride your Pocket Mod Petite in mud, ice, puddles or water. Watch out for potential obstacles that could catch your wheel or force you to swerve suddenly or lose control. Avoid sharp bumps, drainage grates, and sudden surface changes. Do not attempt or do stunts or tricks on the Pocket Mod Petite. The Pocket Mod Petite is not made to withstand abuse from misuse, such as jumping, curb grinding or any other type of stunts. Racing, stunt riding, or other maneuvers also enhance risk of loss of control, or may cause uncontrolled rider actions or reactions. Never allow more than one person at a time to ride the Pocket Mod Petite. Do not ride at night or when visibility is limited. Never use near steps or swimming pools. Do not allow hands, feet, hair, body parts, clothing, or similar articles to come in contact with moving parts or wheels while the motor is running. Never use headphones, a cell phone or text when riding. Never hitch a ride with a vehicle. Do not ride your Pocket Mod Petite in wet or icy weather and never immerse the Pocket Mod Petite in water, as the electrical and drive components could be damaged by water or create other possibly unsafe conditions. Never risk damaging surfaces, such as carpet or flooring, by use of the Pocket Mod Petite indoors.

PROPER RIDING ATTIRE
Always wear proper protective equipment, such as an approved safety helmet (with chin strap securely buckled), elbow pads and kneepads. A helmet may be legally required by local law or regulation in your area. A long-sleeved shirt and long pants are recommended. Always wear athletic shoes (lace-up shoes with rubber soles) and keep shoelaces tied and out of the way of the wheels, motor and drive system. Never ride barefooted or in sandals.

USING THE CHARGER
The charger supplied with the Pocket Mod Petite should be regularly examined for damage to the cord, plug, enclosure and other parts. In the event of such damage, the Pocket Mod Petite must not be charged until the charger has been repaired or replaced. Use only with the recommended charger. Use caution when charging. The charger is not a toy. Charger should be operated by an adult. Do not operate charger near flammable materials. Unplug charger and disconnect from Pocket Mod Petite when not in use. Always disconnect from the charger prior to wiping down and cleaning your Pocket Mod Petite with damp cloth. FAILURE TO USE COMMON SENSE AND HEED THE WARNINGS INCREASES RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY. USE WITH APPROPRIATE CAUTION AND SERIOUS ATTENTION TO SAFE OPERATION.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

Remove contents from box. Remove the separators that protect the components from damage during shipping. Inspect the contents of the box for scratches in the paint, dents or kinked cables that may have occurred during shipping. Because the Pocket Mod Petite is 95 percent assembled and packed at the factory, there should not be any problems, even if the box has a few scars or dents. MAKE SURE POWER SWITCH IS TURNED “OFF” BEFORE CONDUCTING ANY MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES.

Inflating the Front Tire

The front tire is inflated when shipped, but it invariably may lose some pressure between the point of manufacturing and your purchase. Always inflate tire to the correct PSI before first time use.

Lower air pressure can result in a shorter ride time. Periodically check front tire. Reinflate when needed.

Using a bicycle tire pump equipped for a Schrader valve, inflate the front tire to the PSI indicated on the sidewall of the tire.

Inflating the Rear Tire

Required Tool: Tire Valve Adapter (included)
The rear tire is inflated when shipped, but it invariably may lose some pressure between the point of manufacturing and your purchase. Always inflate tire to the correct PSI before first time use.

Lower air pressure can result in a shorter ride time. Periodically check front tire. Reinflate when needed.

1. Remove the valve cap and install the tire valve adapter. Using a bicycle-style tire pump equipped for a Schrader-type valve, inflate the rear tire to the correct PSI indicated on the sidewall of the tire. Remove adapter and replace the valve cap.

CHARGING THE BATTERY
