Depending upon the age, skill level and maturity of the user, the dot
board may not be suitable for everyone. This product is not
recommended for riders under the age of 18. The use of this product by

respond to the skateboard even if you are not on the skateboard. If you
step off, fall off the skateboard, or are not on the skateboard while the
skateboard is moving, the skateboard will continue to move even if you
are not on it. Therefore, it is important that you use the Remote only
while you are on the skateboard or while the skateboard is in the upside
down position. In the event of a runaway skateboard, attempt to use the
brakes on the Remote to stop the skateboard but be aware that it is
possible that the brakes may not always work.
