Riding Safety

• Mini is an entertainment device, not a transportation vehicle. However, once you ride into a public area, your Mini exposes you to the risk of injury as the other transportation device does. You are supposed to protect yourself and others by following this Manual to the max. extent.

Please remember that, whenever you ride the Mini, you risk injury from loss of control, collisions, and falls, when entering public areas like other transportation means even if you fully obey the safe riding instructions. Like all other vehicles, faster speed needs a longer brake stopping distance. Rapid braking on a smooth surface may lead to wheelslip, losing balance or even falling down. You must be very cautious and always keep a reasonable safe distance from other people or transportation tools while riding. Be alert and slow down when entering an unfamiliar area.
• Respect pedestrians by always yielding the right of way. Pass on the left whenever possible. When approaching a pedestrian from the front, stay to the right and slow down. Avoid startling pedestrians. When approaching from behind, announce yourself and slow down to walking speed when passing.

Ninebot Inc. will not be responsible for any property loss, casualties, accidents, or  legal disputes caused by violation of the safety instructions
