20. Avoid sudden braking, especially on slippery surfaces.
21. Maintain good judgment and ride within your skill limits. Do not perform stunts or sudden acceleration/deceleration.

II. User Requirements:

1. Users must have basic practical skills and safety awareness. Age requirement: 14-60 years old. Minors must be accompanied by a guardian.
2. Maintain vigilance while riding. Do not ride when fatigued, under the influence of alcohol, or when unwell. Individuals with visual, auditory, physical, speech, or mobility impairments should avoid use. Those with serious heart conditions, blood pressure issues, or vertigo should not use. Do not use while taking medication or after drinking alcohol.
