the instructions and warnings in this manual, but you cannot eliminate all the risks. Please use common sense when riding.

Ninebot Inc., which means Ninebot (Beijing) Tech Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries and affiliates nor Segway Inc. is responsible
for any injuries, damages or legal disputes caused by a rider's inexperience or failure to follow the instructions in this

2. When entering public places, always comply with the local laws and regulations. In places without laws, comply with the
safety guidelines outlined in this manual.
3. DO NOT allow anyone to ride the scooter on his/her own unless he/she, and the supervising adults have carefully read this

operation of the scooter. Make sure each new rider wears a helmet and other protective gear.

Riding Surfaces and Environment:
●This scooter is designed for riding on flat, dry paved surfaces. Ride in an open outdoor space. Make sure there are no
pedestrians, skateboards, bikes, scooters and other riders in your surroundings.
●Never use in roadways, near motor vehicles, near steep inclines or steps, swimming pools or other bodies of water. Avoid
construction sites, sudden surface changes, drainage grates, potholes, cracks, hydrants, parked cars, speed bumps and
other obstacles. Don't ride on loose grounds (such as rocks, gravel or sand).
●Do not ride in the snow or in the rain. Submersion in water may cause the battery to damage, catch fire or even explode.
●Do not ride in extreme temperature conditions or in low visibility, such as at dawn/dusk or at night.
When Riding:
●Always wear a helmet and other protective gear when riding the scooter. 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.

●DO NOT bypass. Slow down when entering unfamiliar areas. Use caution when riding in areas with trees, posts, or fences.
Always slow down when turning.
●Be alert and aware of the surroundings both far ahead and in front of you when riding. 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).
●Avoid sudden acceleration and deceleration. Never ride faster than the designed top speed (the top speed can be affected
by rider weight, battery level, incline, etc.). As with other vehicles, faster speeds require longer braking distance. Sudden
braking on low traction surfaces could lead to wheel slip or falls. Be cautious and always keep a safe distance between you
and others when riding.
●Keep both hands on the handlebar and do not carry cargo of any kind. DO NOT use a cell phone, camera, headphones, ear
buds or perform any other activities while riding.
●Do not touch moving or spinning wheels. Keep your hair, clothing, or similar articles from coming in contact with the
moving parts.
WARNING
If the scooter makes abnormal sound or signals an alarm, stop riding immediately.
Who Should Not Ride:
I. Anyone under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or intoxicants.

strenuous physical activity.

Safe Use:
