Version 1.1
5. General Terms of Use
5.1 IMPORTANT! Before riding your bicycle:
•
Check that the seatpost and handlebars are tightened securely.
•
Check that all bolts, nuts and fasteners are properly tightened. Pay special attention to the engine
mounts, the front fork, seatpost, saddle and handlebar.
•
Check that the brakes and brake levers are working properly.
•
Check that all reflectors and lights are in place and operating properly..
•
Make sure that the battery is fully charged. Check the battery charge level of the control unit LED display.
5.2 Throttle
The bike is equipped with a throttle function and a pedal assist function. The throttle function is activated in a
similar way as on a motorcycle. Twist the right handlebar and the bike will accelerate. Make sure that you are
ready for the acceleration and that you are using the throttle in a secure way. For a safer use, you should
always turn off the bike after each use (by using the On/Off button on the control unit).
Please note that:
•
When you release the throttle or when you brake, the power supply to the motor is shut off immediately.
•
When you start moving, or you ascend a hill, you can use throttle and pedal assist at the same time. You
can also pedal without pedal assist. This means that you can save battery by pedaling more, or you can
still operate your bike even though the battery is empty.
•
Tum off the ignition and remove the key whenever you stop using your bike.
•
Please make sure that you turn off the power first from the control panel for preventing unintended
acceleration.
5.3 Battery and Charger
•
Do not touch the battery terminals when the battery is charging. And, do not let the battery terminals
come in contact with metal or other conductive objects.
•
When you charge the battery, position the battery in a safe place away from reach of children.
•
Only use the supplied charger to recharge the battery.
•
Never open, repair or modify the charger/battery by yourself.
•
Prevent liquids, metal objects, or metal chips from entering the charger.
•

•
Do not cover the charger during the charging process. The charger heats up during charging.
•
If you notice any strange odor or overheating during the charging, stop charging immediately.
•
To maintain the health of your battery, recharge and drain the battery at least once a month. Do not use
the battery nearly empty, avoid driving the battery to 0% charge, and recharge the battery fully before
each use.
•
Battery capacity may be reduced in cold weather. This is completely normal.
