Riding safely
There are risks to driving any vehicle. This e-scooter is no exception. As with
a bicycle, find a safe area to practice in and, if you can, have somebody help
you with your first few rides. It is important that you become familiar with the
controls of the e-scooter before riding in an environment where there is a risk of
collision. Practice in a quiet area away from other vehicles and hazards.
Please ensure this manual is read and understood before riding.
1.
Check the brakes, wheels and
tyres before every ride. Never
ride with damaged brakes. You
can slow down the e-scooter by
using the brake lever on the left
side of the handlebar. The brake
lever activates both the drum
front brake and the electric brake
of the rear wheel at the same
time. Squeeze the brake lever
gently to effectively use the brake
in a stable way, and be aware
that braking distances may be
extended in wet weather.
2.
Before each ride, ensure the
steering system is working and
that the latch for the folding
mechanism is in place correctly,
with the handle firmly tightened.
3.
Wear flat closed shoes when using
the e-scooter. Always keep both
feet on the e-scooter while riding,
unless you are just starting to
accelerate or about to stop. Wait
until you have come to a complete
standstill before you get off the
e-scooter.
4.
We recommend wearing protective
equipment (e.g. helmet, kneepads,
etc.) when riding the e-scooter.

5.
Hold the handlebar firmly with
both hands at all times when
riding.
6.
It is your responsibility to ride the
e-scooter using good judgement
in order to reduce the risk of
injury. Do not use the e-scooter
when under the influence of
drugs, alcohol or medication that
may impair your judgement. Use
common sense to detect and
avoid hazards that pose a risk to
you, others and others' property
while you use the e-scooter.
7.
The e-scooter is designed for
outdoor use on smooth, stable
surfaces. You should ride
appropriately for the conditions
you are riding in, and anticipate
potential hazards at all times
(e.g. light, weather, other traffic
participants, etc.)
8.
Both tyres must be in contact with
the ground at all times in order
to be able to provide adequate
grip to ride safely (conditions
permitting).
9.
If your e-scooter breaks or shows
wear, we strongly recommend
having a service carried out.
