SCOOTER SAFETY INFORMATION
Scooters, like all wheeled vehicles, will provide safe, enjoyable transportation
and recreation when used and maintained properly. Like bicycling, skateboard-
ing, and in-line skating, riding a scooter can be dangerous even under the best
of circumstances. We do not want you to get hurt. Please follow these safety
rules.
