Ride Safe. Ride Smart. Ride Responsibly.

At iScooter, rider safety is our highest priority.

Whether you're commuting on an electric bike, enjoying your tour on an electric scooter, or helping your child learn to ride, safe riding habits make every journey more enjoyable.

We encourage all riders and families to take a few moments to understand safe operation, proper maintenance, and responsible use before every ride.

General Safety Guidelines

Before every ride:

• Read and follow the iScooter user manual provided with your product.
• Wear a properly fitted helmet and appropriate protective gear.
• Inspect your vehicle to ensure it is in good working condition.
• Check brakes, tyres, lights, and folding mechanisms.
• Ensure the battery is securely installed and sufficiently charged.
• Ride at a speed appropriate for your surroundings and skill level.
• Stay alert and watch for pedestrians, vehicles, and road hazards.
• Never use a mobile phone while riding.
• Never ride under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or medication that may impair judgement.

Remember: road conditions, weather, visibility, and rider experience all affect safety.

Safety for Children and Young Riders

Children require additional supervision and guidance when using electric ride-on products or youth electric scooters.

Parents and guardians should:

• Always supervise young riders.
• Ensure the product is suitable for the child's age and weight.
• Require helmets and protective equipment on every ride.
• Choose safe riding areas away from traffic and hazards.
• Teach children to respect pedestrians and shared spaces.
• Regularly inspect the product for signs of wear or damage.

Young riders should never operate products that exceed the manufacturer's recommended age, weight, or skill requirements.

Building safe habits early helps create confident and responsible riders for the future.

Battery Charging & Fire Safety

Lithium-ion batteries power modern electric mobility products safely and efficiently when used correctly.

To reduce the risk of fire or battery damage:

• Use only genuine iScooter batteries and chargers.
• Charge in a dry, well-ventilated location.
• Never charge batteries while sleeping or when the property is unattended.
• Keep chargers and batteries away from flammable materials.
• Disconnect the charger once charging is complete.
• Do not expose batteries to excessive heat, water, or physical damage.
• Never modify, open, or attempt to repair batteries yourself.

Stop using the battery immediately if you notice:

• Excessive heat
• Swelling
• Leaking
• Smoke
• Burning smells
• Visible damage

Electric Bike Safety

Electric bikes help riders travel further and more comfortably, but they should be operated with the same care and responsibility as traditional bicycles.

For safer riding:

• Follow the Highway Code.
• Use lights and reflective equipment when visibility is poor.
• Signal clearly before turning.
• Be extra cautious at junctions and crossings.
• Allow longer stopping distances during wet weather.
• Perform regular maintenance and inspections.

Electric Scooter Safety

Electric scooters require balance, awareness, and responsible operation.

For safer riding:

• Keep both hands on the handlebars whenever possible.
• Avoid uneven surfaces, potholes, and obstacles.
• Slow down in crowded areas.
• Do not carry passengers unless specifically permitted by the product design.
• Avoid riding in severe weather conditions.

Always ride within your ability and remain aware of your surroundings.

Understanding UK Regulations

Electric bike and electric scooter regulations are different in the United Kingdom.

E-bikes that meet UK legal requirements can generally be used in the same way as conventional bicycles.

Privately owned electric scooters are currently subject to legal restrictions in many public areas. Riders must ensure that their use complies with all applicable national and local regulations before riding.

Laws and regulations may change over time, so riders should stay informed of the latest requirements.

Our Commitment to Safety

At iScooter, we are committed to helping riders enjoy electric mobility safely and responsibly.

By combining quality products, regular maintenance, proper protective equipment, and responsible riding habits, every journey can be safer and more enjoyable.
