Safe Riding Recommendations
Pre-ride Checklist
Please make sure the brake lever sequence is
correct for your country before riding. In UK, NZ and
Australia the left brake lever is for rear brake and
the right brake is for the front brake. In all other
countries it is the other way: left for front, right for
rear.
Check the t
i
res for any visible damage.
Check t
i
re pressures are 30psi, and adjust if
necessary.
Check for any loose nuts, bolts, or fixings.
Check brake functions, cable tension, pad
clearance, etc.
Check all electronic functions are
OK
(functions
detailed later in this manual).
Check the reflectors are in place and the lights are
working (detailed later in manual).
Torque Settings

recommendations before you set off for the first time.

. Quick release front axle. Measured torque not
typically used. Common industry practice is resistance
at lever half way through swing from open to fully
closed.
For all other nuts, the torque depends on the nut
diameter: M4
2.5-4.0N.M
M5
4.0-6.0N.M
M6
6.0-7.5N.M
Note:
make sure axle nuts are always done up tight on
both wheels as connections to the motor and the
dropouts can be damaged due to the axle spinning.
