Rider safety with Flamingo
Before you ride, check the safety tips in the Flamingo app and make sure you’re good to go.
A few quick tips:
- Wear a helmet and covered shoes.
- Check your brakes before you start riding.
- Keep both hands on the handlebars.
- Ride where permitted and give pedestrians space.
- Slow down near driveways, paths and busy areas.
- Ride to the conditions and avoid slippery surfaces.
- Avoid using headphones while riding.
- Never ride under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
If you’re new to e-scooters, it’s a good idea to practise in a quiet, open area before riding near other people, vehicles or busy footpaths.
