FIRST RIDE ON ROLLJET
!
Kick scooter control before the ride
Before each use check the entire kick scooter, all parts should be undamaged, movable, functional and appropriately
tightened. If you should notice any flaw or defect, do not use the kick scooter and approach a sales person
or the nearest repair shop. Before each ride check that all screws are tightened. If necessary, use the suitable tool
to tighten the screws. The use of the special glue that prevents unscrewing is also recommended. Check the fun-
ctioning of the moving parts and oil these parts if necessary. Additionally, check the T-bar height adjustment safety
catch [k]. When in lower position of the safety catch [k] T-bar is not fixed, it’s necessary to readjust the safety catch
(see p. 14). Prior to each use check, and if necessary, remove all hair or trash (they often gather around the
wheel’s bearing) to prevent mechanic damage of the bearing. Unclean bearing may block and thus cause a fall!
Before your first ride on public areas test your RollJet in a traffic free zone to get the
right feeling for riding!
!
We recommend that you should start by riding slowly on a smooth,
dry surface with no obstacles or traffic. Thus, you will easily master
the steering and turning and all additional functions provided only by
RollJet; please note that other kick scooters are not equipped with these
functions.
Start riding your RollJet by holding the T-bar (b) tight with both hands,
step on the board (e) with one foot and start to push off with the other
foot. The heel of the foot on which you are standing on the RollJet board
should be placed right in front of the brake (g) (See picture 1 a).
Should your foot be placed on the board too far front (picture 1 b) in
a sharp turn your foot may touch the front wheel and thus block it, and you may fall. Slow down by pressing the brake with the other foot above the rear
wheel (See picture 2). It is recommended that you learn to push off RollJet with your left and your right foot, so you can exchange feet from time to time
to relieve them.
When changing direction direct RollJet by tilting your body and the handlebar stem and not by rotating the handlebar stem!
Brake (g)
• Intended for slowing down on smooth surfaces. Avoid driving downhill!
• Use your free foot to gently press the brake (the metallic part above the rear wheel)!
• The higher the speed, the sooner and the stronger you need to press the brake.
• Braking must absolutely be tested on a flat surface first, with no traffic and at low speed.
• Braking on wet terrain is NOT effective, therefore the wet terrain must be crossed on foot.
