Electric Balancer Pre-
Riding Safety
CAUTION: For your safety you must carefully read this manual and
follow its instructions. Your bicycle may come with additional instruction
sheets that cover features unique to your bike. Please ensure that you
read and become familiar with their contents and retain them with this
manual for future reference. Remember bicycles, in most areas, are
subject to the same laws, rules, and regulations as motor vehicles.
Always wear a Certified helmet when riding your bike. Learn
and follow local and state traffic use laws.
Any major service or adjustments on your bike not covered in this
manual should be carried out by a professional bicycle mechanic. If you
wish to make adjustments yourself, this manual contains important tips
on how to do it.
CAUTION: Any adjustments you make are entirely at your own risk. Do
NOT use your bike for freestyle and stunt riding, jumping or competitive
events. Do not ride your bike when any part is damaged or not working
properly. You must, for your safety and the safety of other users, consult
a professional bicycle mechanic for any questions on repairs or
maintenance.
WARNING: As with all mechanical components, the bicycle is
subjected to wear and high stresses. Different materials and
components react to wear or stress fatigue in different ways. As your
bicycle ages, you should inspect it more frequently to look for deformed,
cracked, bent, or loose components. Such conditions may lead to
sudden failure. This may possibly cause injuries to the rider. If something
is cracked or broken,
do not ride until repairs have been made.

Electric Balancer Pre-
Riding Safety
BEFORE RIDING
1.
WARNING – ON AND OFF -ROAD CONDITIONS: The condition of the
riding surface is very important to your safety. If the surface is wet, or has
sand, leaves, small rocks or other loose debris on the surface where you
plan to ride, carefully decrease the speed of the bicycle and ride with
extra caution. It will take a longer time and more distance to stop. Apply
the brakes sooner and with less force. Always apply the rear brake first
allowing time and distance for it to take effect. Then follow by cautiously
applying the front brake, in order to maintain control of the bicycle. Rapid
front brake application first may cause a front pitch over or fall. Learn to
use your brakes properly under controlled conditions until you learn
proper braking under all road conditions.
2.
NOTICE: State and federal regulations require a full set of
reflectors. Some state and local laws may require that your bike be
equipped with a warning device, such as a horn or bell and most
states require a
light. The manufacturer and many legal authorities DO NOT approve or
encourage riding at night. Vision is quite limited at dawn, dusk and at
night for bike riders, motorists and by-standers. If you must ride at night,
take extra precautions, use front and rear lights, wear flashers on your
arms, wear light-colored clothing, and plan your route to ride in well
lighted areas avoiding heavy traffic areas.
3.
NOTE: Always wear shoes when riding a bicycle and avoid loose
fitting clothes. Wear a cuff band or trouser clip to keep pants or other
loose clothing from getting caught in the chain wheel. Long sleeves, long
pants, gloves, eye protection, a DOT/CPSC approved helmet, elbow and
knee pads are recommended. Helmet use is required by law in many
states and is always a good idea for your safety.

4.
CAUTION: WET WEATHER WARNING: Check your brakes frequently.
The ability to stop is critical to your safety. Roads are slippery in wet
weather so avoid sharp turns and allow more distance for stopping.
Brakes become less efficient when wet. Leaves, loose gravel and other
debris on the road can also lengthen stopping distance. If at all possible,
do not ride in wet weather. Vision and control are impaired, creating a
greater risk of accidents and injury.
5. CAUTION: A bicycle rider’s best defense against accidents is to be
alert to road conditions and traffic in the area. Do not wear anything that
restricts your vision or your hearing.
6.
When riding, ALWAYS WEAR A APPROVED BIKE HELMET . It may save
your life.
7. Obey all traffic regulations. Most traffic regulations apply to bike riders
as well as automobile operators. Observe all state and local traffic
regulations, signs and signals. Check with your local police station on
bicycle licensing and inspection, and where it is legal to ride your bike.
8.
ON AND OFF ROAD OPERATION: Avoid the following road hazards: drain
grates, pot holes, ruts, soft road edges, gravel, leaves (especially when
they are wet), uneven pavement, railroad crossings, manhole covers,
curbs, speed bumps, puddles, and debris as all have an effect on your
riding and may result in loss of control. Adjust your speed and the way
you use your brakes if you must ride in such areas.
9. If any components become loose while riding, (STOP!!) immediately
and tighten, or bring to a mechanic for repair.

Electric Balancer Pre-
Riding Safety
TO AVOID INJURY, THIS PRODUCT MUST BE PROPERLY ASSEMBLED
BEFORE USE. WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU REVIEW THE
COMPLETE ASSEMBLY GUIDE AND PERFORM CHECKS SPECIFIED IN
THE OWNER’S MANUAL BEFORE RIDING.
Just a minute spent before each ride can significantly improve your safety
and the enjoyment of your ride. EACH TIME before you ride make a habit
of performing the following safety checks:
•
Stand in front of the bicycle facing rearward and hold the front wheel
securely between your legs. Try to twist the handlebar and verify that they
do not move. Then pull the handlebars up, trying to lift the bike. There
should be no movement.
•
Try to push the front wheel from side to side and confirm that it feels
tight and will not wobble. Lift the front wheel up by the handlebars and
strike the wheel downward with the heel of your hand to confirm that it is
securely attached to the wheel. Spin the front wheel and confirm that it
does not wobble or contact the fork or brake pads.
•
Try to lift/push down on and twist the seat to confirm it is tight.
•
Look at the connection of the pedals to the crank arm. You should not
see pedal screw threads and the pedal should feel firm and be parallel to
the ground.
•
Apply your brake(s) and make sure they feel firm to the touch, and then
spin the wheel(s). Apply the brakes. The brakes should stop the wheel(s).
•
Check to be sure that the fenders and accessories (if equipped) are
firmly attached and will not contact any moving parts. Make sure all
reflectors are in position and not broken.
Now, put on your BICYCLE SAFETY HELMET and enjoy your ride. Your
safety is well worth just a minute. Also, be sure to read and follow the
warnings and instructions in this manual

SAFETY EQUIPMENT
Orion RXB-E promotes the use of safety equipment during the use of your
electric balance bike; the following list is an advisory guideline of the
equipment that should be obtained before using your electric balancer for
the first time, and to be used for every ride regardless of experience and
skill level.
HELMET
A helmet is the most important piece of protective equipment
and should be worn at all times the electric balancer is being
ridden.
Ensure the helmet fits the operator snugly, is securely fastened
and provides good, all-round visibility. A poorly-fitting or loose
helmet can become dislodged in an incident and then offer no
protection at all.
EYE PROTECTION
Recommended to prevent eye injuries and prevent branches,
bugs, dust or sand hitting your face and distracting you.
Sunglasses are unlikely to provide adequate physical protection.
GLOVES
FOOTWEAR
CLOTHING
Sturdy footwear is recommended
Arms and legs should be covered to reduce abrasions to the
body, even in hot weather. Trousers should be close-fitting and
in good condition.

Message To Riders
Your safety is very important to Orion RXB-E. That’s why we urge you to
read this message before riding this electric balancer. You can help
prevent accidents by making good decisions about if, when, and how you
ride this electric balancer.
THINGS TO CONSIDER WHEN RIDING
The first decision you’ll need to make is whether you’re ready to ride.
Riding readiness varies widely from one person to another, and age and
size are not the only factors.
PHYSICAL ABILITY
An important consideration is that riders must be big enough to hold
the electric balancer up, get on, and comfortably sit on the seat with
both feet touching the ground. They should also be able to easily reach
and
work the brakes, throttle, and all other controls.
If you decide that you’re ready to safely operate this electric
balancer, make sure you carefully read and understand the owner’s
manual before riding. Also be sure that you have a helmet and
other appropriate riding equipment, and always wears it when
Operating the electric balancer or sitting on it.
SAFE AND RESPONSIBLE RIDING
When you put safety first, you can enjoy more peace of mind,
and you can enjoy more hours of safe off-road riding.

11
Loading, Accessories & Modifications
Orion RXB-E designed a rider-only electric balance bike. It was not
designed to carry a passenger or cargo. A passenger or cargo could
interfere with your ability to move around to maintain your balance
and control of the electric balancer.
In addition, exceeding the weight limits or carrying an unbalanced load
can seriously affect your bike’s handling, braking, and stability.
Adding accessories or making modifications that change this
electric balance bike design and performance can also make it unsafe.
Also, the weight of any accessories will reduce the maximum load the
electric balancer can carry
We recommend that you do not carry any cargo on this electric balancer.
ACCESSORIES & MODIFICATION
Modifying your electric balance bike or using non-Orion RXB-E accessories
can make your electric balance bike unsafe.

12
Loading, Accessories & Modifications
ACCESSORIES
We strongly recommend that you use only Orion RXB-E Genuine Parts and
Accessories that have been specifically designed or approved and tested
for your electric balance bike. Because Orion RXB-E cannot test all other
accessories, you must be personally responsible for proper selection,
installation, and use of non-Orion RXB-E accessories. Check with your
dealer for assistance and always follow this guideline:
Make sure the accessory:
- Does not reduce ground clearance and lean angle
- Limit steering travel
- Alter your riding position
- Interfere with operating any controls
MODIFICATIONS
We strongly advise you not to remove any original equipment or modify
your electric balance bike in any way that would change its design or
operation. Such changes could seriously impair your electric balancer
handling, stability, and braking, making it unsafe to ride.
We also advise you not to make any modifications or remove any equipment
that would make the electric balance bike illegal in your area.
