Posted by Sally on January 15th, 2018

In order to reduce any type of risk, we recommend you carefully heed the following warnings. Use KOOWHEEL Electric Longboard sensibly and responsibly. KOOWHEEL Electric Skateboard is a hi-ech transport vehicle, but its incorrect and inappropriate use can cause injuries. 

• Always wear shoes, a helmet and appropriate safety equipment such as knee pads, elbow pads and wrist bands. Using a firmly buckled skate helmet that provides cranial protection is recommended.
• Do not use without proper training; please read the manual before use. Otherwise, you could lose control of the vehicle and fall.
• Use by minors under 16 years of age is prohibited. Adult supervision is required for use by minors under 16.
• Pregnant women and people with disabilities should not use this vehicle.
• Do not use KOOWHEEL LONGBOARD under the influence of alcohol, drugs or other substances that could alter the user's reflexes.

• Pay attention to surrounding objects when driving. Keeping a good view of the space used is essential to maintaining control.
• We recommend wearing comfortable clothes during use.
• KOOWHEEL LONGBOARD was designed to transport a single individual. Use by several individuals simultaneously is prohibited.
• We recommend you do not suddenly or abruptly accelerate or stop the vehicle; these behaviours could cause you to lose control.
• Check KOOWHEEL electric skateboard hoverboard before use.
• Perform maintenance after use.

• Do not place metal or sharp objects on the board.
• Do not use thinners or solvents to clean push scooter parts.
• Do not puncture or remove any KOOWHEEL LONGBOARD plastic part.
• Learn everything slowly, including new tricks. When you lose your balance do not wait until you fall - get off and start again. Start on gentle slopes. Next, move to slopes where the speed allows you to get off the board without falling.
• The most serious injury resulting from skate board use are bone fractures, so first learn to fall (rolling if possible) without a skate board.
