A. Helmets: While not all States or regions require riders to wear approved

protective head gear, common sense dictates that you should wear a DOT, Snell,

BSI or CPSC approved helmet. Most serious incidences involve head injuries

which might have been avoided if the rider had worn a helmet.

Your authorized Go-Ped® dealer may have a variety of attractive approved

helmets, and can recommend one to suit your needs. Make sure that it fits correctly, is worn

correctly and is properly secured. Ask your dealer to help with the fit and adjustment of your

helmet, or refer to the owner’s manual provided with the helmet. Buckle Up!

WARNING: Always wear an approved helmet when riding your scooter. Helmet

should be worn correctly as outlined in the owner’s manual . Failure to wear

an approved helmet can result in serious injury or death.

B. Protective pads:

Elbow pads, knee pads, and wrist guards are not required

by most states or regions. Again, common sense dictates that you should wear

protective pads to help protect against injury. Your authorized Go-Ped® dealer may

have a variety of protective pads, and can recommend one to suit your needs. A

good set of pads should fit comfortably, stay in position at all times and not have

any excess strapping, Velcro®, or other protrusions to catch on anything that can cause you to lose

control of your scooter/kart.

C. Shoes: Your shoes should have good grip, protection, and support. Your shoes should have

adequate strapping or laces so they stay on your feet. Make sure that laces or other strapping can

not catch or hang-up on any part of the scooter or other objects. Never ride barefoot or wear sandals

when operating the scooter.

D. Clothing: Being seen is very important. Brightly colored, reflective helmets and clothing will help

make riders more noticeable. Clothing should not be so loose that it can catch on moving parts or be

snagged on other objects.

E. Eye protection: Any kind of riding can involve airborne debris, dust, and bugs, so common sense

dictates that you should wear protective eyewear with protective lenses.

F. Reflectors: Reflectors are important safety devices designed to reflect light in a way that helps to

be seen. The reflectors are intended to enhance the visibility of the scooter but may not meet

reflector requirements for your area.

WARNING: Do not remove the reflectors from your scooter. Removing

reflectors may reduce visibility to others. Reflectors are not suitable for

use as lights. Riding at dawn, dusk, or night is not recommended and

presents a serious risk to the rider, regardless of what measures you have

taken.

2.2 Mechanical Safety Check

Here is a simple procedure you should get in the habit of before you get on your scooter:

A. Nuts, bolts, and structural: Pick your scooter off the ground a few inches and bounce it.

Do a quick visual and tactile inspection of the whole scooter/kart. Make sure you look at all visible

nuts, bolts and structural welds. If anything sounds, feels or looks loose or shows signs of

stress then replace, or secure them. If you’re not sure, ask someone with experience to check,

or ask an authorized dealer to show you what to look for in a mechanical safety check.

WARNING: Inspect unit before each use. Make any required adjustments,

and replace or repair any item that may need it.

Twist lever and cable:

On the Bigfoot™ your twist lever engages or disengages the motor’s

drive component. With the lever in the full up position the drive spindle must not touch the wheel

in anyway. When the lever is in the full down position you should have ample slack in the cable to

allow for spindle to be fully engaged with the tire. There are adjustment barrels on each end of

the cable housing for the twist lever.

9.2 Wheels

Front wheel removal: 1) Make a note of the location for the washers used on the front axle.

2) Remove the axle nut. 3) Slide the axle bolt out and remove wheel.

Rear Wheel Removal: 1) Make a note of the location for the washers used on the front axle. 2)

Remove the axle nut. 3) Slide the axle bolt out and remove wheel. Note: On some units the fender

can pivot clear of the wheel for easy access once the axle nut is removed.

CAUTION: Only use original equipment for your Go-Ped®. Substituting with other

brands may have unforeseen dangers that could cause damage, making your

Go-Ped® perform in an unsafe manner, causing damage and/or personal

injury.

Replacing the solid rubber tire : 1)

Use hacksaw and carefully cut off the old

tire from rim.

2) Take new tire and dip in body of water. 3) Work one side of tire all

the way around the rim.

4) Place wheel on ground over a soft surface such as an

old piece of carpet/cardboard.

5) Very carefully, but firmly, compress/stomp the

assembly together.

Warning: Do not use any grease, oil, or solvents to help install rubber tire.

Note:

Only use original Go-Ped® tires. Replacing the rubber tire takes some practice. If you are

having trouble, have your authorized Go-Ped® dealer teach you, or have them perform this task

for you.

Replacing pneumatic tires and tubes: The tires and tubes are critical compo-

nents requiring precise reassembly to insure proper alignments. An authorized Go-

Ped® dealer using OEM parts should do this operation.

Warning: Completely deflate wheel before wheel disassembly or any work

on the wheel. Failing to do so can result in serious injury.

Adjusting the rear wheel:

For non-chain driven models only. To get maximum life out of your

tires and scooter you should follow these directions and adjust frequently.

1) Open quick release axle to unlock and allow free movement of wheel (axle nut

may need to be loosened also).

2) With Quick Release Axle opened and loosened, rotate the snail shaped engine

protection washer (EPW) down, away from rear gas tank support stud.

3) Apply approx. 75 lb of weight to rear part of Go-Ped® deck (one knee on the “D” works pretty

good) with rear wheel on the ground. (To apply proper tire/spindle contact).

4) Rotate the snail shaped engine protection washer (EPW) up to contact rear gas tank stud

while weight is still applied, this will prevent overload to engine bearings and crankshaft.
