LIFESPAN
An eBike is not indestructible, and its parts will not last forever. Our eBikes are made to withstand the
stress of “normal” riding because those stresses are well known and understood.
However, we cannot predict the forces that might occur if it is involved in an accident. With damage, the
life of any part can be drastically reduced and may fail without warning. The life of a part is determined
by its construction, materials, use, maintenance, rider weight, speed, terrain, and environment (humidity,
salinity, temperature, etc.), so it is not possible to give an accurate timetable for replacement. Any
crack, scratch, or change of color in a high-stress area indicates the part (including the frame or fork)
has reached the end of its life and should be replaced. If you are not sure or you don’t feel comfortable
inspecting or repairing your eBike, consult your local bike shop. Regular maintenance, frequent
inspections, and frequent replacement of parts are necessary for a high-performance eBike.
THINK SAFETY
Stay tuned to your environment and avoid dangerous situations which are usually obvious (traffic,
obstacles, drop-offs, and so on) but sometimes are not. Many of those situations are shown in this
manual. Some of the high-risk stunts and jumps seen in magazines or videos are very dangerous; even
skilled athletes get severe injuries when they crash,
and they do crash.
Modifications to your eBike
can make it unsafe. Each part of your new eBike has been carefully chosen and approved. The safety
of accessory or replacement parts, and especially how those parts attach and interface with other
parts of the eBike, are not always apparent. For this reason, you should only replace parts with original
equipment or parts that are approved. If you are not sure what parts are approved, ask your bike shop.
Some examples of modifications include physically altering existing parts (sanding, filing, drilling, etc.),
using adapters for brake systems, installing accessories, and changing parts.
