PLEASE READ AND UNDERSTAND FULLY BEFORE PURCHASING OR RIDING OUR SCOOTERS
ELECTRIC AND GAS SCOOTER SAFETY
When used safely, electric scooters and gas scooters are great fun! However, they are motorized vehicles and require an added level of precaution from their rider. Please take note of the following safety recommendations when scooting;
U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission Recommendations:
- Wear a helmet, knee pads and elbow pads. (Wrist guards may make it difficult to grip the handle and steer the scooter.)
- Children under age 8 should not use non-powered scooters without close adult supervision. Children under 12 should not ride motorized scooters.
- Avoid gravel and uneven pavement, which can cause falls.
- Don't ride scooters in traffic.
- Don't ride scooters at night - riders can't see where they're going or be seen by others.
- Wear sturdy shoes.
- Owners of scooters should check with local authorities for local laws regarding scooters.
