Putting the EMQ bike into use
2.2
Before every ride
If in doubt whether your EMQ e-bike is technically in order, do not ride it. Contact EMQ or take your EMQ e-bike to a
specialist bicycle mechanic to have it checked. The frame, fork, suspension components and other safety-relevant parts
such as wheels and brakes often take a beating. If your EMQ e-bike does not receive timely and professional
maintenance, or if you use parts for longer than the intended life, your e-bike can malfunction, which in the worst case
can lead to falls and serious injuries.
Before each ride, check that:
•
The brakes function properly
•
The tires are inflated to 4 bar
•
The tires still have enough profile
•
The lighting works well
•
The bell works well and is secure
•
All clamps are tight and tight
•
The handlebars, stem, saddle and seatpost are all properly, firmly and securely attached and in the correct position.
•
The battery is charged
•
The chain is intact
•
The pedals and handles are properly and firmly attached
•
Read all safety precautions.
•
Fully charge the battery.
•
Adjust the saddle clamp to the correct strength: the saddle should not sink down, but you should still be able to
close the clamp.
•
Check that all clamps are tight.
•
Check that the brakes are working properly.
•
Press ON/OFF to turn on the display [see 8.2 Operating the display].
The e-bike is ready for first use.
Practice cycling on your new EMQ e-bike in a safe place and get to know the electrical assistance and its operation
before you hit the road.
