Safety Warnings
WARNING: Riding an electric motorbike can be a hazardous activity. Certain conditions may cause the equipment to fail without fault of the manufacturer. Like other electric products, the Dirt Rocket can and is intended to move, and it is therefore possible to lose control, fall off and/or get into dangerous situations that no amount of care, instruction or expertise can eliminate. If such things occur you can be seriously injured or die, even when using safety equipment and other precautions. RIDE AT YOUR OWN RISK AND USE COMMON SENSE.
This manual contains many warnings and cautions concerning the consequences of failing to maintain, inspect or properly use your electric motorbike. Because any incident can result in serious injury or even death, we do not repeat the warning of possible serious injury or death each time such a possibility is mentioned.

ACCEPTABLE RIDING PRACTICES AND CONDITIONS
Always check and obey any local laws or regulations which may affect the locations where the Dirt Rocket may be used.
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 Dirt Rocket is meant to be used only in controlled environments free of potential traffic hazards and not on public streets or sidewalks. Do not ride your electric motorbike in any areas where pedestrian or product traffic is present.
Do not activate the speed control on the hand grip unless you are on the electric motorbike and in a safe, outdoor environment suitable for riding.
These bikes were manufactured for performance and durability but are not impervious to damage. Jumping or other aggressive riding can over-stress and
damage any product, including the electric motorbike, and the rider assumes all risks associated with high-stress activity.
Be careful and know your limitations. Risk of injury increases as the degree of riding difficulty increases. The rider assumes all risk associated with aggressive riding activities.
Maintain a hold on the handlebars at all times.

Never use near steps or swimming pools.
Keep your fingers and other body parts away from the drive chain, steering system, wheels and all other moving components.
Never use headphones or a cell phone when riding. Never hitch a ride with another product.
Do not ride the Dirt Rocket in wet or icy weather and never immerse the electric motorbike in water, as the electrical and drive components could be damaged by water or create other possibly unsafe conditions.
The Dirt Rocket is intended for use on flat, level ground without loose debris such as rocks or gravel. Wet, slick, bumpy, uneven or rough surfaces may impair traction and contribute to possible accidents. Do not ride the electric motorbike in mud, ice, puddles or water. Avoid excessive speeds that can be associated with downhill rides. Never risk damaging surfaces such as carpet or flooring by use of an electric motorbike indoors.
Do not ride at night or when visibility is limited.

A helmet may be legally required by local law or regulation in your area. A long-sleeved shirt, long pants and gloves are recommended. Always wear athletic shoes (lace-up shoes with rubber soles), never ride barefooted or in sandals, and keep shoelaces tied and out of the way of the wheels, motor and drive system.
USING THE CHARGER
The charger supplied with the electric motorbike should be regularly examined for damage to the cord, plug, enclosure and other parts, and in the event of such damage, the bike must not be charged until the charger has been repaired or replaced.
Use only with the recommended charger. Use caution when charging.
The charger is not a toy. Charger should be operated by an adult. Do not operate near flammable materials.
Unplug charger and disconnect from bike when not in use.
Always disconnect from the charger prior to wiping down and cleaning your electric motorbike with liquid.
