SAFETY INFORMATION
Intended Use
Electric bikes, also known as “E-Bikes” are bicycles
equipped with an electric pedal assist drive system.
An E-Bike IS NOT a moped or motorcycle.
The drive-assist system consists of a drive unit, a battery,
a computer control, and various electronic components
(harness wires, sensors, and switches). This model bike
does share components common with pedal-only bikes.
There are many different drive-assist systems for
differing uses and bike types. Likewise there are various
drive-assist system manufacturers (Shimano, BOSCH,
Yamaha, etc.)
It is important to know that when the drive-assist system
is turned ON, the drive unit engages to provide power
only while you are pedaling. The amount of power
provided by the drive unit depends on your pedaling
force and the assistance mode/level you set with the
handlebar control unit. At anytime, if you stop pedaling,
the drive-assist will dis-engage. In all modes/levels, the
drive-assist system power reduces progressively and
cuts off as the bike reaches a the maximum allowable
speed. The drive-assist re-engages when speed drops
below the maximum allowable speed as long as the
pedals are turning.
Whenever the drive-assist system is turned OFF, you
can pedal the bike normally. The drive system will not
engage.
UNDERSTAND YOUR BIKE , DRIVE-ASSIST SYSTEM
AND THE INTENDED USE OF BOTH. USING YOUR
BIKE THE WRONG WAY IS DANGEROUS.
