Read this important safety information before riding your ebike.
AN EBIKE CANNOT PROTECT YOU IN AN ACCIDENT
The most common cause of injury on an eBike is falling. In a crash or impact, it is not uncommon for your
eBike to sustain damage and for you to fall. Cars have bumpers, seat belts, air bags, and crumple zones.
eBikes do not. If you fall, your eBike cannot prevent injury. If you are involved in any kind of impact, crash,
or accident, check yourself thoroughly for injuries. Then have your eBike thoroughly inspected by a local
bike shop before you ride it again.
KNOW YOUR LIMITS
An eBike can be dangerous, especially if you try to ride beyond the limits of your ability. Know your skill
level and don’t ride beyond it.
KNOW YOUR EBIKE’S LIMITS
Your eBike is made to withstand the stress of rough, rugged conditions but within “normal” riding
conditions. If you misuse your eBike by riding outside those conditions, it can be damaged by stress or
fatigue. Any damage can drastically reduce the life of the frame, fork, or other parts.
HANDLE WITH CARE
Some parts of your eBike can injure you if mishandled. There are sharp points, for example, on the teeth
of the chainrings and some pedals. Brakes and their parts get hot. Rotating brake rotors can cut skin and
even break bones. Clamps and pivoting parts such as brake levers can pinch, as can the chain where it
runs onto sprocket teeth. eBike components are especially vulnerable. Electric cables, connectors, battery
dock, battery, and the controller can be easily damaged if handled incorrectly.
