Riding Safety
1. The Gokart is a recreational product. Before mastering riding skills, you need to practice. Neither
Ninebot (Ninebot (Beijing) Tech Co., Ltd. or its subsidiaries and affiliates) nor Segway Inc. is responsible
for injuries or damage caused by a driver's inexperience or failure to follow the instructions in this User
Manual or in the New Rider Tutorial.
2. Remember as with any mode of transportation, that whenever you drive the Gokart, you risk injury or
death from loss of control, collisions, and falls. You can reduce the risk by following all the instructions
and warnings in this manual, but you cannot eliminate all the risks.
3. The Gokart kit contains small parts which can create a choking hazard. Keep small children away
from the Gokart.
Pre-Ride Checklist and Preparing for Your Drive:
1. Before each drive check and tighten any loose parts, fasteners, straps, and replace damaged
components.
2. To avoid accidents caused by improperly inflated or worn tires, check the tire pressure on the
miniPRO tires and wear on all tires before each ride. Do not touch moving or spinning tires.
3. Ensure that the battery level and vehicle operating status are within the specifications contained in
the manual of the model being used with the Gokart Kit.
4. Carefully read, understand and follow all instructions in this User Manual and watch and understand
the New Rider Tutorial in the App before your first drive. Do not attempt to drive the Gokart if you are
not able to drive in accordance with the instructions in this Manual or you risk serious injury or death.
5. Always wear appropriate shoes, clothing, and protective gear when riding. Protective gear includes
the use of a helmet, knee pads, and elbow pads (not included). 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.
Remove or tie back anything loose (i.e. clothing, hair, jewelry, etc.) that could be caught in any moving
parts. Always fasten the seat belt before riding and ensure it is securely tightened. Loose seat belt can
get stuck in the wheels.

items to be able to safely pass them.
5. The Gokart is never to be ridden indoors.
6. Do not ride the Gokart at night.
7. Do not ride on any ramp or incline that exceeds the maximum slope.
8. Do not ride in the snow, rain, or on roads which are wet, muddy, icy, or that are slippery for any
reason. Do not ride over obstacles (including, but not limited to, sand, loose gravel, or sticks).
Doing so could result in a loss of balance or traction and could cause a collision.
9. Do not allow the Gokart to get wet. You risk damage to the batteries and potential for a fire or
explosion due to a wet battery pack.
How to Drive:
1. As with other vehicles, faster speeds require longer braking distance. Sudden acceleration or
braking on smooth surfaces could lead to wheel slip and collisions.
2. Be cautious and always keep a safe distance between you and others when driving. Be alert and
slow down when entering unfamiliar areas.
3. Do not allow anyone to drive your Gokart on his/her own unless he/she has carefully read this
manual, and followed the New Rider Tutorial. The safety of new riders is your responsibility. Assist
new riders until they are comfortable with the basic operation of the Gokart and make sure each
new rider wears a helmet and other protective gear.
4. To avoid distraction when driving your Gokart, do not use a cell phone, camera, headphones, ear
buds or perform any other activities while driving.
5. Be alert! Scan both far ahead and in front of you. 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). Use caution when transitioning over differing terrain.
6. When approaching or crossing an intersection, road, corner, or gate of any kind, always slow
down and yield to others.
7. Do not drive at unsafe speeds. You must always use good judgment based on your driving skills
and the surrounding environment.
8. Always slow down when turning. Turning at a high speed can cause loss of control, possible
vehicle turn-over, and risk of injury or death.
9. Do not perform stunts of any kind. All four tires must remain on the ground at all times.
10. While driving the Gokart, always remain seated with arms and legs inside the Gokart.
11. Do not carry cargo of any kind.
12. If the Gokart makes an abnormal sound or signals an alarm while driving, stop immediately and
do not use the Gokart or miniPRO until the cause of the noise/alarm has been identified and
corrected. Contact after-sales service for assistance.
