Read This First: Safety and Compliance with the Law
Congratulations on your purchasing of your new e-bike. Your new e-bike is an excellent
piece of personal transportation equipment that will give you good service for many
years.
Before you start using your e-bike, we want you to be aware of a few important points.
Please read this section carefully..

Observe Laws Regarding the Use of Battery-Operated Bicycles
Your e-bike is designed and manufactured to meet safety requirements as a
battery-operated bicycle. However, state and local laws governing the use of
battery-operated bicycles on public roadways, parks, and other open areas may
differ. Please check with your local authority before using your e-bike in public
areas.

Observe Laws Regarding the Use of Bicycles
Note that all laws regarding the use of bicycles in public areas, such as those
mandating the use of helmets and the use of infant seats, will automatically apply
for e-bikes. Check with your local authority on what restrictions might apply.

The Lithium-ion Battery of Your e-Bike
Your e-bike is equipped with the latest battery technology. The lithium-ion battery
is much lighter than lead- or nickel-based batteries that are being used in some
older models.

Your First Ride
Please be VERY CAREFUL when you are ready to get on your e-bike for the first
time because that the e-bike moves significantly faster than a regular bicycle at
active power-assisted mode. Take your e-bike to an area with a lot of open space
before you start. Do not start pedaling hard as soon as you get on the e-bike (as you
normally would so with a regular bicycle), as the e-bike will accelerate under pedal-
assist mode and you may be unprepared for the sudden increase in speed.
However, after a few times, you will enjoy using the pedal-assisted function.
