SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING: Riding a RipStik Electric does present potential risks and
caution is required. Like any riding product, a RipStik Electric has inherent
hazards associated with its use (for example, falling off or riding it into a
hazardous situation). Like any riding product, RipStik Electrics can and are
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 RipStik Electrics,
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.
WARNING: NOT FOR RIDERS UNDER AGE 9 OR HEAVIER
THAN 143 LB (65 KG). DO NOT EXCEED THE WEIGHT LIMIT OF 143 lb
(65 kg) - including backpacks and other items that might be carried.
Exceeding the weight limit could injure the rider and damage the RipStik
Electric. Rider weight alone also does not necessarily mean a person's size
is appropriate to fit or maintain control of the RipStik Electric. Keep this
product away from small children and remember that this product is intended
for use only by persons who are, at a minimum, completely comfortable and
competent while operating the product.
Razor recommends that children under the age of 9 not be permitted to
use this product. This recommendation is based not just on age or weight
or height; it reflects consideration of expected maturity and skills as well
as physical size. The recommended rider age of 9 years or older is only
an estimate and can be affected by the rider's size, weight, or skills - not
every rider 9 years old or older will be suited to the product. Certainly, any
rider unable to fit comfortably on the RipStik Electric should not attempt to
ride it, but 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. Razor emphasizes that adults are strongly advised not
to disregard Razor's recommendations or permit younger children to
ride the RipStik Electric.
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.
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 the use of any ride-on product, 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 143 lb (65 kg). Rider weight
does not necessarily mean a person's size is appropriate to fit or
maintain control of the RipStik Electric.

CHECK AND MAINTAIN PRODUCT CONDITIONS
Before use, check to confirm that covers and guards are in place and in
serviceable condition. Check that the wheels are free of flat spots from
wear. The product 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 RipStik Electric may be used. Keep
safely away from cars and motor vehicle traffic at all times. Only use
where allowed and with caution.
Do not activate the remote unless you are on the RipStik Electric and in a
safe, outdoor environment suitable for riding. The RipStik Electric must
be moving at least 3 mph (5 km/h) with the lever on the remote in
the "Go" position before the motor will engage. To push/kick start the
RipStik Electric before engaging motor, it is recommended that the rider place
forward foot on front deck and push start using rear foot (see page 7).
The normal powered top speed of this product will be approximately 10 mph
(16 km/h), which can be affected by conditions, such as rider weight, inclines
and battery charge level. Avoid excessive speeds that can be associated with
downhill rides.
Ride defensively. Watch out for potential obstacles that could catch your
wheel or force you 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 RipStik Electric 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 product 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. The RipStik Electric 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 product.
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 engaged.
Do not touch electric motor when in use or immediately after riding.
Never use headphones or a cell phone to talk or text when riding.
Never hitch a ride with a vehicle.
Do not ride your product in wet or icy weather and never immerse 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 a RipStik Electric indoors.
