SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
The first rule in safe riding is to use common sense. A Hover-1 is vulnerable; it cannot protect you in a crash, against impact, or loss of control t he way driving a car can. A Hover-1 can tip over sideways or pitch you over the front wheel. It does not have bumpers or airbags as a car does. This section is a guide of safe riding practices for on and off-road operation. Make sure you are using your Hover-1 properly.
Different localities and countries have different laws governing riding on public roads, and you should check with local officials to ensure you are complying with these laws.
Hype is not liable for tickets or violations given to riders who do not follow these regulations.
• For your safety, always wear a helmet that meets CPSC or CE safety standards. In the event of an accident, a helmet can protect you from serious injury and in some cases, even death.
• Obey all local traffic laws. Obey red and green lights, one-way streets, stop signs, pedestrian crosswalks, etc.
• Ride with the traffic, not against it.
• If riding with friends and multiple Hover-1 Compacts, ride in a single file in a straight line.
• Ride defensively; expect the unexpected.
