E Scooter Safety

Congratulations on the purchase of your Electric Scooter, we really hope that it provides you with lots of fond memories.  It is important to remember that these adult scooters are modes of transport. They are not toys and due to the power, weight, and speed of these devices you will need to ensure that you ride them safely, responsibly and adhere to local laws.

GENERAL SAFETY WARNINGS

• Check your scooter for any loose parts or screws, flat tyres, signs of damage or excessive wear before every ride.
• Start riding slowly to familiarize yourself with the behaviour of your scooter. Start in first gear and slowly try out the brakes. Always slow down when riding over bumps or on rough road conditions.
