PRE-RIDE HOVER-1 GO-KART CHECKLIST

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
The first rule in safe riding is to use common sense. A Hover-1 Go-Kart is vulnerable; it cannot protect you in a
crash, against impact, or loss of control the way driving a car can. A Hover-1 Go-Kart 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 Go-Kart 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 Go-Karts, 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.
15

• 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 Go-Kart 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
Brakes do not work as well under wet conditions as they do when dry. It is recommended that you do not ride
your Hover-1 Go-Kart in wet weather, as there are electronic components of scooter that may be damaged
if exposed to water.
