D. RIDING SAFELY & RESPONSIBLY
1. Always perform a Mechanical Safety Check before you get on any scooter.
2. Be thoroughly familiar with the controls of the scooter you are going to ride.
3. Be careful to keep body parts and other objects away from wheels and other moving parts.
4. Always wear a helmet that meets the latest CPSC standard.
5. Always wear shoes that will stay on your feet and will grip the Scooter Deck.
6. Never ride barefoot or wearing sandals.
7. Wear bright, visible clothing that is not so loose that it can catch on the scooter moving parts.
8.To prevent false starts, you must manually push-off to a speed of about 3 mph before the throttle will

WARNING:This scooter was not designed for jumping. Don't jump with your scooter. Riders who
insist on jumping their scooters risk serious damage, to their scooters as well as to themselves
and others. Using your scooter for jumping will void the Warranty.
E. RULES OF THE ROAD
1. Learn the local scooter laws and regulations. Many communities have specific regulations about licensing of scooters, riding
on sidewalks, laws regulating bike path and trail use and so on. Many states have helmet laws and special scooter traffic laws.
In the USA and in most foreign countries, a scooter rider is required to obey the same traffic laws as the driver of a car or
motorcycle. It's your responsibility to know and obey these laws.
2.You are sharing the road or the path with others – motorists, pedestrians and others on scooters and bicycles. Respect their
rights and be tolerant if they infringe on yours.
3. Ride defensively. Assume that the people with whom you are sharing the road are unaware of your presence.
