Here are some key safe riding tips for e-scooters:

• Wear protective gear– Always wear a helmet, and consider knee and elbow pads for extra safety.
• Follow traffic rules– Obey local laws, signals, and speed limits just as you would when cycling.
• Ride defensively– Stay alert, watch for cars, pedestrians, and other riders, and avoid distractions like phones or headphones.
• Check your scooter– Inspect brakes, tires, and battery before each ride.
• Avoid risky surfaces– Steer clear of wet, uneven, or gravel-covered roads that can reduce traction.
• Use lights and reflectors– Be visible, especially when riding at night or in low-light conditions.
• Ride solo– Don’t carry passengers, as scooters are designed for one rider at a time.
• Control your speed– Slow down on turns, crowded areas, or unfamiliar paths.
