This bike, its components, motor
and electrical system is designed
predominantly for leisure use and
commuting on roads and light trails.

could lead to, increased wear and
tear, damage to the bike, risk of

WARNING
—
As with all mechanical
components, an EPAC is subjected to
wear and high stresses. Different materials
and components may react to wear or stress
fatigue in different ways. If the design life of a
component has been exceeded, it may
suddenly fail, possibly causing injuries to the
rider. Any form of crack, scratches or change
of colouring in highly stressed areas indicate
that the life of the component has been
reached and it should be replaced.
