SAFETY WARNINGS
product away from small children and remember that this product is not a toy
and is intended for use only by persons who are, at a minimum, completely
comfortable and competent while operating the product.
BLVD recommends that children under the age of 18 not be permitted to use
this product. This recommendation is based not just on age or weight or height;
it reflects consideration of expected maturity and skills as well as physical
size. The recommended rider age of 18 years or older is only an estimate and
can be affected by the rider’s size, weight, or skills – not every rider 18 years
old or older will be suited to the product. Certainly, any rider unable to fit
comfortably on the BLVD URBN should not attempt to ride it, but
a parent’s
decision to allow his or her child to ride this product should be
based on the child’s maturity, skill, and ability to follow rules. BLVD
emphasizes that adults are strongly advised not to disregard BLVD’s
recommendations or permit younger children to ride the BLVD URBN.
Keep this product away from small children and remember that it is
intended for use only by persons who are, at a minimum, completely
comfortable and competent while operating.
Persons with any mental or physical conditions that may make them susceptible
to injury, impair their physical dexterity or mental capabilities to recognize,
understand, and follow safety instructions and to be able to understand
the hazards inherent in the use of any ride-on product, should not use or be
permitted to use products inappropriate for their abilities. Persons with heart
conditions, head, back or neck ailments (or prior surgeries to these areas of the
body), or pregnant women, should be cautioned not to operate such products.
DO NOT EXCEED THE WEIGHT LIMIT OF 100 kg (220 lb). Rider weight
does not necessarily mean a person’s size is appropriate to fit or
maintain control of the BLVD URBN.
CHECK AND MAINTAIN PRODUCT CONDITIONS
Before use, check to confirm that covers and guards are in place and in
serviceable condition. Check that the brakes and lights are functioning properly,
that the front tire is inflated properly and has sufficient tread remaining and
that the rear wheel is free of flat spots from wear. The product should be
maintained and repaired in accordance with the manufacturer’s specifications,
using only the manufacturer’s authorized replacement parts, and should not be
modified from the manufacturer’s original design and configuration.
ACCEPTABLE RIDING PRACTICES AND CONDITIONS
Do not activate the throttle unless you are on the BLVD URBN and in a safe,
outdoor environment suitable for riding.
The electric scooter must be
moving at least 5 km/h (3 mph) before the motor will engage.
Once the
throttle is activated the BLVD URBN will move forward.
The normal powered top speed of this product will be approximately
25 km/h (15.5 mph), which can be affected by conditions, such as rider weight,
inclines and battery charge level. Avoid excessive speeds that can
be associated with downhill rides.
Maintain a hold on the handlebars at all times. Do not touch the brakes or motor
on your scooter when in use or immediately after riding, as these parts can
become very hot.
Ride defensively. Watch out for potential obstacles that could catch your wheel
or force you to swerve suddenly or lose control. Be careful to avoid pedestrians,
skaters, skateboards, scooters, bikes, children or animals who may enter your
path, and respect the rights and property of others.
The BLVD URBN is intended for use on flat, dry surfaces, such as pavement or
level ground, without loose debris, such as sand, leaves, rocks or gravel. Wet,
slick, bumpy, uneven or rough surfaces may impair traction and contribute to
possible accidents. Do not ride your product in mud, ice, puddles or water.
Watch out for potential obstacles that could catch your wheel or force you
to swerve suddenly or lose control. Avoid sharp bumps, drainage grates, and
sudden surface changes.
Do not attempt or do stunts or tricks. The BLVD URBN is not made to withstand
abuse from misuse, such as jumping, curb grinding or any other type of stunts.
Racing, stunt riding, or other maneuvers also enhance risk of loss of control, or
may cause uncontrolled rider actions or reactions.
Never allow more than one person at a time to ride the product.
Riding at night or when visibility is limited increases risks of accident or injury.
Should the BLVD URBN scooter be ridden in such conditions, use of lights
and additional measures to increase rider visibility and scooter conspicuity
are advised.
Never use near steps or swimming pools.
The BLVD URBN electric scooter can operate more quietly than other motorized
products may operate. Use care when in the vicinity of pedestrians or others who
may have difficulty hearing your approach. Use handbell (not included) to sound
warnings when appropriate.
Do not allow hands, feet, hair, body parts, clothing, or similar articles to come in
contact with moving parts or wheels while the motor is engaged.
Do not touch electric motor or brakes when in use or immediately
after riding.
Never use headphones or a cell phone to talk or text when riding.
Never ride your product while under the influence of drugs
or alcohol.
Never hitch a ride with a vehicle.
PROPER RIDING ATTIRE
Always wear proper protective equipment, such as an approved safety helmet
(with chin strap securely buckled), elbow pads, and kneepads. A helmet may be
legally required by local law or regulation in your area. A long-sleeved shirt, and
long pants are recommended. Always wear shoes and keep shoelaces tied and
out of the way of the wheels and motor. Never ride barefooted or in sandals.
USING THE CHARGER
The charger supplied with the product should be regularly examined for damage
to the cord, plug, enclosure and other parts. In the event of such damage, the
product must not be charged until the charger has been repaired or replaced.

The charger is not a toy. Charger should be operated by an adult.
Do not operate charger near flammable materials.
Unplug charger and disconnect from product when not in use.
Always disconnect from the charger prior to wiping down and cleaning your
product with damp cloth.
FAILURE TO USE COMMON SENSE AND HEED THE ABOVE WARNINGS

RISK AND WITH APPROPRIATE AND SERIOUS ATTENTION TO SAFE
OPERATION. USE CAUTION.
