SAFETY INFORMATION

1 
Apply the brakes slowly when
stopping on a wet surface. 
 
Slow down as you approach a cor-
ner or turn. Once you have com-
pleted a turn, accelerate slowly. 
 
Be careful when passing parked
cars. A driver might not see you
and open a door in your path. 
 
Railroad crossings, streetcar rails,
iron plates on road construction
sites, and manhole covers be-
come extremely slippery when
wet. Slow down and cross them
with caution. Keep the scooter up-
right, otherwise it could slide out
from under you. 
 
The brake pads could get wet
when you wash the scooter. After
washing the scooter, check the
brakes before riding. 
 
Always wear a helmet, gloves,
trousers (tapered around the cuff
and ankle so they do not flap), and
a bright colored jacket. 
 
Do not carry too much luggage on
the scooter. An overloaded scoot-
er is unstable.
