CONGRATULATIONS!
By now you have already made a great decision in purchasing a cutting-
edge ROCKBOARD® RBX® 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® RBX® 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® RBX® SCOOTER in perfect
condition, just like it is now, the rst time you took it out of the box!
We promise the reading won’t take long. When you nish, make sure
that a parent or guardian helps you set up your ROCKBOARD® RBX®
SCOOTER before your rst ride. Then you’ll be outside before you
know it!

PARENTS / GUARDIANS
Before your child goes speeding down the pavement, please review this
manual. Sit down with them and explain the importance of being cautious
and staying safe. As with a bicycle, we want you to take every precaution to
help prevent any type of accident.
BEFORE YOU RIDE
INSPECT YOUR ROCKBOARD® RBX®BEFORE EACH USE.
Check all bolts and fasteners to conrm that they are rmly secured and not
broken. Brake system should be adjusted if necessary and wheels inspected
for signs of excessive wear. Regularly maintaining your scooter will keep it
working like new and, more importantly, help keep you safe!
While riding your ROCKBOARD® RBX® SCOOTER always wear a helmet,
elbow pads and knee pads. Please be sure to wear long pants, long sleeves
and gloves. Proper footwear such as athletic shoes with rubber bottoms must
be worn while riding. Never ride barefoot or in sandals. Be sure that your
shoelaces are tied tight and take precautions to prevent them from dragging.
Operate the ROCKBOARD® RBX® SCOOTER on level, dry pavement.
Be sure that the area is completely free of debris such as limbs, rocks, sand
or gravel. Be sure that you can always see the path you are riding on. Never
ride in the rain or at night. Be sure to avoid puddles or wet pavement. Never
ride in snow or in icy conditions. Avoid excessive speed associated with
downhill rides.
Adults must assist children in the initial assembly procedures and adjustment
of handlebar and steering to correct height.
Inspect your environment. Avoid sharp bumps, drainage grates and sudden
surface changes. Scooter may suddenly stop. Ride on smooth, paved surfaces
away from motor vehicles.
Check the local laws and regulations before riding. Be sure to always ride
in legal, designated areas.
Brake pad & components will get hot from continuous use. Do not touch
after braking.

clear of the ROCKBOARD® mechanisms and moving parts while the

clamp to allow free up and
down motion for handlebars.
1. To start riding, rst make sure rockboard is in
the down position in the rear, place one foot
over rear tire and push forward with the other.
3. Once the front has been completely pushed
down, use rear leg and body weight to push the
back of the rockboard down. Repeat steps 2 & 3.
2. Slide handlebars to desired height
and secure height-adjuster clamp,
making sure handlebars do not
move up or down.
3. If adjuster clamp requires
