SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
The first rule in safe riding is to use common sense. A Hover-1 Falcon-1 is vulnerable; it cannot protect you in
a crash, against impact, or loss of control the way driving a car can. A Hover-1 Falcon-1 can tip over
sideways or pitch you over the front wheel. It moves faster than a typical scooter. It does not have bumpers
or airbags as a car does. This section is a guide of safe riding practices for operation. Make sure you are using
your Hover-1 Falcon-1 properly.
Different localities and countries have different laws governing riding on public roads, and you should check
with local officials to ensure you are complying with these laws.
Hover-1 is not liable for tickets or violations given to riders who do not follow these regulations.
• For your safety, always wear a helmet that meets CPSC or CE safety standards. In the event of an accident,
a helmet can protect you from serious injury and in some cases, even death.
• Obey all local laws, stop signs, pedestrian crosswalks, etc.
• If riding with friends and multiple Hover-1 Falcon-1’s, ride single file in a straight line.
• Have a satisfactory signaling device (bell, horn, etc.) to warn drivers and pedestrians of your approach.
• Ride defensively; expect the unexpected.
• Give pedestrians the right-of-way.
• Do not ride too close to pedestrians and alert them if you intend to pass them from behind.
• Slow down at all street intersections and look to the left and right before crossing.
•Obey all traffic signals.
• Always use proper hand signals for turning and stopping. Give signals 100ft before stopping or turning and
always return both hands to the handle bars before stopping or turning.
• Watch for cars pulling out into traffic and for the sudden opening of car doors.
• Avoid potholes, drainage grates or other hazards.
• Be careful when riding on soft road edges, gravel, sand and uneven surfaces. Ride slowly and avoid quick
turns when riding on these surfaces.
• Never hitch onto other vehicles.
• Do not “stunt” ride or race in traffic.
• Do not weave in and out of traffic or swerve from side to side.
• A crash can put extraordinary stress on Hover-1 Falcon-1 components, possibly causing them to
fatigue prematurely. Components suffering from stress fatigue can fail suddenly, causing loss of control
or serious injury.
CAUTION: RIDING IN WET WEATHER
It is recommended that you do not ride your Hover-1 Falcon-1 in wet weather as there are electronic
components of scooter that may be damaged if exposed to water and stopping distances can be greater
than in dry conditions.
1. This product is strictly forbidden to use on roads and highways unless your local laws state otherwise. You
must wear a safety helmet, knee and elbow pads and other necessary protective gear when riding your
Hover-1 Falcon-1.
2. Due to the particularity of the product, the assembly pieces are to be checked before every ride to avoid
an accident while riding.
3. Do not make a sharp turns as you may drift and overturn the Hover-1 Falcon-1 which can result in injury to
yourself and/or damage the unit.
4. Do not operate near swimming pools or other bodies of water.
