2. Press the brake-throttle to slow down or stop. For quicker stopping, step on the rear fender foot brake.
3. The scooter performs best when on a smooth surface, e.g., carparks, smooth roads, footpaths, & bike lanes.
4. Always clean your scooter (wheels, platform, etc.); it's a machine and it needs to be maintained.
5. Do not press the throttle while walking with the scooter beside you.
6. Be aware of the terrain you are riding on; watch out for curbs and obstacles!

9. CAUTION: The left paddle control on the console controls the motor's Electro-Magnetic brake. This brake is energized by the operation of the motor and will NOT be 100% effective until the motor has been in operation for 30 seconds.
