General Safety

1. Wear a helmet
   Always wear a helmet to ride Veo. Accidents happen. A helmet can save your life

Riding Rules

1. Follow the signs

2. Use bike lanes
   Ride on the street in bike lanes or close to the right curb. No riding on sidewalks, unless local laws permit it. Ride with traffic on one-way streets, not against traffic.
3. Be kind to pedestrians
   Always let pedestrians go first. Use the scooter or bike’s bell appropriately. Remember people with disabilities can’t always see or hear you.

Parking

   Don’t block sidewalks, curb cuts, access ramps, doors, bus stops, and traffic. If parking on a sidewalk, make sure you leave enough room for a wheelchair or stroller to get by – at least three feet.
2. Keep it clear
   Make sure the kickstand is securely in the down position to keep the scooter or bike upright. Avoid uneven surfaces like gravel, grass, or steep inclines. 
3. Keep it upright
   Park scooters and bikes close to the curb, either within a designated marked parking zone or near a scooter/bike rack.
