Ninebot Gokart Pro
1 Riding Safety
1Gokart is a recreational product. Before mastering riding skills, you need to practice. Neither Ninebot (Ninebot (Beijing)
Tech Co., Ltd. or its subsidiaries and affiliates) nor Segway Inc. is responsible for injuries or damage caused by a driver's
inexperience or failure to follow the instructions in this User Manual or in the New Rider Tutorial.
2Remember as with any mode of transportation, that whenever you drive the Gokart, you risk injury or death from loss of
control, collisions, and falls. You can reduce the risk by following all the instructions and warnings in this manual, but you
cannot eliminate all the risks.
3The Gokart kit contains small parts which can create a choking hazard. Keep small children away from the Gokart.
Pre-Ride Checklist and Preparing for Your Drive:
1. Before each drive check and tighten any loose parts, fasteners, straps, and replace damaged components.
2. To avoid accidents caused by improperly inflated or worn tires, check the tire pressure on the Ninebot S-Max tires and wear
on all tires before each ride. Do not touch moving or spinning tires.
3. Ensure that the battery level and vehicle operating status are within the specifications contained in the manual of the model
being used with the Gokart.
4. Carefully read, understand, and follow all instructions in this User Manual and watch and understand the New Rider Tutorial
in the App before your first drive. Do not attempt to drive the Gokart if you are not able to drive in accordance with the
instructions in this Manual or you risk serious injury or death.
5. Always wear appropriate shoes, clothing, and protective gear when driving. Protective gear includes the use of a helmet,
knee pads, and elbow pads. Use an approved bicycle or skateboard helmet that fits properly with the chin strap in place, and
protects the back of your head.
Remove or tie back anything loose (i.e. clothing, hair, jewelry, etc.) that could be caught in any moving parts. Always fasten
the seat belt before riding and ensure it is securely tightened. A loose seat belt can get stuck in the wheels.
6. Be sure to read and follow all the "WARNING" ( ) "CAUTION" ( ) notices in this manual. Never allow two or more riders at
the same time.
7. To avoid burns caused by high temperature, Do not touch the motor.
8. Do not lift or press the rear spoiler. Do not lift the product when holding the taillight. Always lift the rear bumper when you
need to carry the Gokart.
Where to Drive:
1. When entering public spaces, always comply with local laws and regulations. Only ride in areas where you have first obtained
permission from the property owner.
2. The Gokart is designed to be driven on a dry, flat, hard-surface, free of obstacles, bumps, holes, and other hazards.
3. Do not drive on roadways, near motor vehicles, pedestrians, bicyclists, animals, on or near steep inclines or steps, curbs,
near swimming pools, through puddles or other bodies of water. Use caution when riding in areas with trees, posts, or
fences. You must leave sufficient space between you and those items to be able to safely pass them.
4. Do not ride the Gokart at night.
5. Do not ride on any ramp or incline that exceeds the maximum slope.
6. The Gokart is never to be ridden indoors.
7. Do not ride in the snow, rain, or on roads which are wet, muddy, icy, or that are slippery for any reason. Do not ride over
obstacles (including, but not limited to, sand, loose gravel, or sticks). Doing so could result in a loss of balance or traction
and could cause a collision.
8. Do not allow the Gokart to get wet. You risk damage to the batteries and potential for a fire or explosion due to a wet battery
pack.
How to Drive:
1. Gokart is not a means of transportation. Please obey local laws, regulations, and policies when driving.
2. Do not turn the Gokart on unless it is parked on flat ground. As with other vehicles, faster speeds require longer braking
distance. Sudden acceleration or braking on smooth surfaces could lead to wheel slip and collisions.
3. Be cautious and always keep a safe distance between you and others when driving. Be alert and slow down when entering
unfamiliar areas. Do not drive at unsafe speeds. You must always use good judgment based on your driving skills and the
surrounding environment.
4. Do not allow anyone to drive your Gokart on his/her own unless he/she has carefully read this manual, and followed the New
Rider Tutorial. The safety of new riders is your responsibility. Assist new riders until they are comfortable with the basic
operation of the Gokart and make sure each new rider wears a helmet and other protective gear.
5. To avoid distraction when driving your Gokart, do not use a cell phone, camera, headphones, earbuds, or perform any other
No

long
hair
04 05

activities while driving.
6. When approaching or crossing an intersection, road, corner, or gate of any kind, always slow down and yield to others.
7. Be alert! Scan both far ahead and in front of you. Your eyes are your best tool for safely avoiding obstacles and low traction
surfaces (including, but not limited to, wet ground, loose sand, loose gravel, and ice). Use caution when transitioning over
differing terrain.
8. Always slow down when turning. Turning at a high speed can cause loss of control, possible vehicle turn-over, and risk of
injury or death.
9. Do not perform stunts of any kind. All four tires must remain on the ground at all times.
10. While driving the Gokart, always remain seated with arms and legs inside the Gokart.
11. Do not carry cargo of any kind.
12. If the Gokart makes an abnormal sound or signals an alarm while driving, stop immediately and do not use the Gokart or
Ninebot S-Max until the cause of the noise/alarm has been identified and corrected. Contact after-sales service for
assistance.
Who Should Drive:
The manufacturer recommends drivers be at least 14 years old. Children under the age of 16 should only drive under adult
supervision. Always follow these safety instructions:
A. People who should not drive the Gokart include:
i. Anyone under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or intoxicants.
ii. Anyone who suffers from disease that puts himself/herself at risk if he/she engages in strenuous physical activity.
iii. Anyone who has problems with balance or with motor skills that would interfere with their ability to maintain balance.
iv. Anyone whose weight is outside the stated limits (see Specifications).
v. Pregnant women.
B. The Gokart is intended for one person only.
C. To drive safely, you must be able to clearly see what is in front of you and you must be clearly visible to others.
D. Drivers must be able to hear the environment around them.
After Each Drive:
1. Park the Gokart on flat ground and power it off. Failure to do so could cause the Gokart to move when exiting potentially
causing injury to you and others around you.
2. Allow the Gokart to cool down before charging. Do not attempt to charge the Gokart, if it, the charger, or the power outlet is
wet. Follow instructions in the Ninebot S-Max User Manual.
3. As with any electronic device, use a surge protector when charging to help protect your Gokart from damage due to power
surges and voltage spikes.
4. Only use the charger specified by the manufacturer. Do not use a charger from any other product.
5. Only use Ninebot or Segway approved parts and accessories. Do not modify your Gokart. Modifications to your Gokart could
interfere with the operation and performance of the Gokart, which may result in serious injury and/or damage, and could
void the Limited Warranty.
Maintenance and Storage:
1. Be sure the Gokart is powered off before performing any maintenance or when installing or replacing parts.
2. When installing components, use proper and sufficient force until the component is secure. If the installation is too loose or
too tight, the Gokart may not function properly, resulting in the potential for injury to you or others or damage to, or
malfunction of, the Gokart.
3. Install batteries for the Gokart in accordance with the instructions and ensure that the positive and negative electrodes of
the batteries are installed correctly. Only use the batteries specified by the manufacturer. Do not charge the batteries as this
may cause a risk of fire or explosion. Do not mix old and new batteries. Do not mix alkaline, standard (carbon-zinc), or
rechargeable batteries. When the batteries are dead, purchase and replace them yourself.
4. Follow all instructions contained in the Ninebot S-Max User Manual when performing maintenance on the Ninebot S-Max.
5. Do not use a strong water flow or high-pressure hoses to clean the Gokart. Avoid getting water in the charge port. If your
Gokart has been exposed to heavy rain store it outdoors away from buildings and people but protected from the elements
until it is dry.
6. Prolonged exposure to UV rays, rain and the elements may damage the enclosure materials. Store indoors when not in use.
The Ninebot S/S-PRO should be stored in an environment where the temperature is no higher than 122°F (50°C) or lower
