Some quick tips to enhance your riding safety include: 1. Be prepared before the first ride. We strongly advise thoroughly learning e-scooter safety procedures and practices such as speed control, lane changing, and the safety mechanism on your e-scooter before riding, especially before your first ride if it is your first time riding an e-scooter. 2. Wear protective gear. The most common top speeds of electric scooters range from 15 mph to 20 mph, and iHoverboard e-scooters go as fast as 22 mph. Wearing protective gear on every single ride such as a helmet and elbow pads is the easiest and the most effective way to improve riding safety. Some electric scooters have a good waterproof performance, the i9 Series are IPX4 rated, however, we do not recommend riding in the snow or rain for your safety and to prolong the life of the product.
