CONGRATULATIONS!
By now you have already made a great decision in purchasing a cutting-
edge ROCKBOARD SCOOTER™. No doubt you are ready to start
“Rockboarding” the neighborhood sidewalks or park trails. We realize
that the last thing you want to do at this point is read our little owner’s
manual booklet.
While reading this may not be as exciting as actually tearing up the
pavement with your new ROCKBOARD SCOOTER™, there is a reason
why we spent the time creating this owner’s manual. Please give us a
little bit of yours.
So before you begin mastering your “Rockboarding” techniques outside,
make sure you read through all of the following pages to help you stay
safe and keep your ROCKBOARD SCOOTER™ in perfect condition,
just like it is now, the first time you took it out of the box!
We promise the reading won’t take long. When you finish, make sure that
a parent or guardian helps you set up your ROCKBOARD SCOOTER™
before your first ride. Then you’ll be outside before you know it!

kick scooter.

transport and storage.
