Safe Riding Recommendations
1.
Please observe traffic regulations, and don't lend your
bicycle
to anyone who is unfamiliar with it. The bicycle can
legally only be
used on the road by
one
person age 14 years or
over
.
2.
If you are in a country where wearing a cycle helmet is
not
mandatory
, we still strongly advise you to always wear one. If
you
are unfamiliar with cycling, we also advise you to attend a
cycle
proficiency course prior to using it, or gain advice from
your local
FTHPower dealer. Your eUrban is not a toy and
should be
considered a serious mode of transport.
3.
As with all bicycles it is important that you stay within
safe
limits. If you feel you are traveling too quickly for the
road
conditions you probably are, so slow down! High
speed will
increase forces in the case of an accident and
increase the
possibility of injury.
4.
Test your brakes prior to using the bike every time you use it
and remember the bike will not stop as quickly in wet or icy
conditions as it would on a dry road.
5.
Check the
tires
, rims, pedals, stem, cables, chain, etc for
general condition regularly.
6.
A rider is very difficult for motorists and pedestrians to see at
dusk, at night, or at other times of poor visibility. If you must
ride under these conditions, check and be sure you comply
with all local laws about night riding; follow the rules of the
road. Take the following additional precautions: make sure that
your bicycle is equipped with correctly positioned and securely
mounted reflectors, wear light-colored, reflective clothing and or
accessories (any reflective device or light source that moves will
help you get the attention of approaching motorists, pedestrians
and other traffic). Make sure your clothing or anything else you
are carrying on your bicycle doesn't obstruct a reflector or light.
Ride slowly when conditions demand you to do so.

.
Check the front and rear rim's safety line. Replace wheel
when any part of the Rim Wear Groove is not visible. It is
dangerous not to do so.
8
.
You must not leave the bike unattended or use the kickstand
to stand the bike without your support when a child is in the rear
seat as the bike could tip over and cause serious injury.
9
.
Make sure the rear suspension underside of your seat is out
of reach of your child to avoid finger injury.
10
.
Your bicycle must be returned to your servicing dealer or
bicycle/motorcycle mechanic after one month or 200km of
riding (which ever comes first) to re-tension the spokes. Then
every six months or 1000km (which ever comes first)
for a general service and thorough inspection. Failure to do this
can void your warranty due to unnecessary wear.
