9. Be alert! Scan both far ahead and in front of your miniPRO — 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).
10. To reduce risk of injury, you must read and follow all “CAUTION” and “WARNING” notices in this
document. Do not ride at an unsafe speed. Under no circumstance should you ride on roads with motor
vehicles. Always follow these safety instructions:
A. The following people should not ride the miniPRO:
i. Anyone under 16 years old or above 60 years old. Riders between 16-18 years old should ride
under adult supervision.
ii. Anyone under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
iii. Anyone who suffers from disease that puts them at risk if they engage in strenuous physical
activity.
iv. Anyone who has problems with balance or with motor skills that would interfere with their ability
to maintain balance.
v. Anyone whose height or weight is outside the stated limits (see Specifications).
B. Comply with local laws and regulations when riding this product. Do not ride where prohibited by
local laws.
C. To ride safely, you must be able to clearly see what is in front of you and you must be clearly
visible to others.
D. Do not ride in the snow, in the rain, or on roads which are wet, muddy, icy, or that are slippery for
any reason. Do not ride over obstacles (sand, loose gravel, or sticks). Doing so could result in a
loss of balance or traction and could cause a fall.
E. Do not accelerate or decelerate suddenly. Do not accelerate when the miniPRO tilts back or
sounds an alarm. Do not attempt to override the speed limiter.
11. Do not insert the power cord if the charge port is wet.
12. Use a surge protector when charging to help protect your miniPRO from damage due to power surges
and voltage spikes. Only use the Ninebot by Segway supplied charger. Do not use a charger from any
other product.
13. Use only Ninebot by Segway approved parts and accessories. Do not modify your miniPRO.
Modifications to your miniPRO could interfere with the operation of the miniPRO, could result in serious
injury and/or damage, and could void the Limited Warranty.
14. Do not sit on the steering bar. Doing so could result in serious injury and/or damage to your miniPRO.

1.
The miniPRO is a recreational product, which is different from motor vehicles driven on the road.
Before mastering riding skills, you need to practice. Neither Ninebot Inc. nor Segway Inc. is
responsible for any injuries or damage caused by a rider's inexperience or failure to follow the
instructions in this document.
2.
Please understand that you can reduce the risk by following all the instructions and warnings in this
manual, but you cannot eliminate all the risks. Remember that whenever you ride the miniPRO you
risk injury or death from loss of control, collisions, and falls. When entering into public spaces always
comply with the local laws and regulations. As with other vehicles, faster speeds require longer
braking distance. Sudden braking on smooth surfaces could lead to wheel slip, loss of balance, or
falls. Be cautious and always keep a safe distance between you and other people or vehicles when
riding. Be alert and slow down when entering unfamiliar areas.
3.
Respect pedestrians by always yielding the right of way. Pass on the left whenever possible. When
approaching a pedestrian from the front, stay to the right and slow down. Avoid startling pedestrians.
When approaching from behind, announce yourself and slow down to walking speed when passing.
4.
In places without laws and regulations governing self-balancing electric vehicles, comply with the
safety guidelines outlined in this manual. Neither Ninebot Inc. nor Segway Inc. is responsible for any
property damage, personal injury/death, accidents, or legal disputes caused by violations of the
safety instructions.
5.
Do not allow anyone to ride the miniPRO on his/her own unless they have carefully read this manual,
watched the safety video, and followed the New Rider Tutorial on the Ninebot by Segway App. The
safety of new riders is your responsibility. Spot new riders until they are comfortable with the basic
operation of the miniPRO. Make sure each new rider wears a helmet and other protective gear.
6.
Before each ride check for loose fasteners, damaged components, and low tire pressure. If the
miniPRO makes abnormal sounds or signals an alarm, immediately stop riding. Diagnose your
miniPRO via the Ninebot by Segway App and call your dealer/distributor for service.
7. Always wear a helmet when riding. 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.
8. Do not attempt your first ride in any area where you might encounter children, pedestrians, pets,
vehicles, bicycles, or other obstacles and potential hazards.
