SAFE RIDING
5
Local riding laws
Most state and local areas
have specific laws for cyclists.
Please check with your local
Department of Motor Vehicles for
clarification. Again, these e-bikes
are not considered motor vehicles,
but may be subject to additional
regulation based on the state you
live in. Some of the common laws
include mandatory lights and
reflectors on the bikes.
Safety precautions
Be sure to ride an appropriate
distance away from cars,
pedestrians, and other obstacles.
In addition, try to avoid potholes,
drain grates, and other
imperfections in the road which
may affect your ability to ride. A
bell is provided to alert others of
your approach.
OBEY all traffic laws relevant to
the operation of bicycles and
electric bicycles.
KEEP both hands on the
handlebars at all times and do not
hang objects from the handlebars.
RIDE predictably and in a straight
line. Never ride against traffic.
USE the correct hand signals when
turning or stopping. If you do not
know the proper hand signals, it is
important you learn them before
riding on the road.
USE extreme caution when you are
near other vehicles. Ride
defensively and assume that other
people on the road do not see you,
and be careful at intersections
when starting from a stopped
position.
DO NOT suddenly brake in the rain
or on slippery surfaces.
WEAR a helmet for your protection
and bright or reflective
clothing to
make you more visible.
DO NOT wear lose clothing
because it can get caught in the
bicycle.
When going over train tracks, be
sure to ride perpendicular to the
tracks or walk your bicycle across.
