Stretch and secure the strap over flange. The
tension in the strap is what secures it in place.
BIKE RANGE
The range on one charge strongly depends on several circumstances, such as (but not limited
to):
•
Weather conditions such as ambient temperature and wind;
•
Road conditions such as elevation and road surface;
•
Bike conditions such as tire pressure and maintenance level;
•
Bike usage such as acceleration;
•
Rider and luggage weight;
•
Charge and discharge cycles.
PARKING, STORAGE, AND TRANSPORT
Please follow these tips to ensure your bike is well cared for when you are not using it.
Parking and storage
•
Park in accordance with local rules and regulations if you are in a public place.
•
Park indoors whenever possible. If you must park outdoors in rain or wet
conditions, do not do so for an extended period, and afterward park in a dry
location to allow the bike systems to dry out. When any bike is exposed to wet
conditions, it will need a more frequent maintenance schedule to prevent rust and
corrosion and to ensure all systems work safely. See
“Guard against rust, corrosion,
and electrical damage”
on page 19 for more information.
•
Avoid parking or storing your bike in direct sunlight and/or excessive heat, such as
inside of a parked car on a hot day.
•
Switch the power and any lights off to conserve battery power. Remove the key
from the bike and remove the battery and bring it with you for security.
•
Lock up your bike to reduce risk of theft.
Transporting
•
When pushing or carrying the bike, turn off the throttle to avoid accidental
acceleration from the motor, e.g. by mistakenly twisting the throttle.
•
Only use racks (i.e., a bike rack for your car or other vehicle) designed for the size and
weight of your bike. Pay particular attention to whether the rack can accommodate
the width of your bike tires.
