2. Important safety instructions

2.1. General safety instructions

• 

To avoid falls and dangerous situations, you should first practice 
driving your new scooter on level, unobstructed ground. We 
recommend having an assistant with you.

• 

Before operating the scooter, please check that all attached parts 
are correctly fastened.

• 

Practice driving on level, unobstructed ground before first use. Get a 
good understanding for the way the scooter brakes and accelerates 
when driving straight ahead or a curve.

• 

Please note that displacing the center of gravity by shifting the 
body or by adding loads may increase the risk of tipping over the 
scooter to the side or backwards.

• 

The scooter may not be used for transport of more than one person 
or any additional load. Make sure to only use it for the intended 
purpose.

• 

Be aware of the risk of trapping body parts when making settings 
and adjustments to the scooter.

• 

Never use the scooter under the influence of alcohol or other 
substances that may impair your attention and/or your physical 
and mental capacity.

• 

To overcome obstacles, please be sure to use ramps. Should it 
be necessary to lift the scooter over an obstacle, then only do so 
without the occupant. Only lift by the solid parts of the frame.

• 

Avoid hitting obstacles (steps, curbs) at full speed.

• 

The control unit must always be switched off when getting in or out 
of the scooter.

• 

All road traffic regulations must be observed when driving on 
public roads.
