PRE-RIDE CHECKLIST

RIDING

YOUR EVELO ELECTRIC BICYCLE

Carry out this pre-ride checklist before 

EVERY RIDE!

Make sure the tires are properly inflated. All bicycle tires gradually lose air over 
time, and this can affect handling, range, and puncture-resistance.

Are the “Quick Release” levers on the front wheel and seat tight?

Check both wheels for broken spokes. If you find any, seek service before riding 
the bike.

Are the handlebars tight? If there is any noticeable movement, tighten properly 
before riding.

Visually inspect your tires for cuts, embedded glass, or other signs of possible 
failure.

Make sure that the pedals are screwed in tightly, as damage is possible if they 
come loose.

Are the brakes working properly? Squeeze the levers before riding to ensure 
they apply the brakes, and then test them at a very low speed. Turn on the 
pedal-assist and while riding at a very low speed, make sure the motor turns off 
when either brake lever is squeezed.
