GENERAL NOTES ABOUT RIDING
10
Pre-Ride Inspection
»
Prior to the first ride, charge the battery to 100%;
»
Check to ensure that the quick-release levers or axle nuts are tight;
»
Check the brake pads for excessive or uneven wear;
»
Make sure that all bolts on the brakes and steering parts are tight;
»
Spin the rims – check for wobbles;
»
Check the tire pressure;
»
Check the tires for excessive wear, cracking or gashes;
»
Check that the gears shift smoothly;
»
Check the chain for rust, dirt, stiff links or noticeable signs of wear (the chain should
be clean and lubricated, be sure to use a chain-elongation gauge);
»
Apply the front brake, and push the bike forward and backward (the headset should
be tight and not make any clunking noises).
WARNING — Being aware of your surroundings can drastically reduce incidents. If you are on
the road be aware of traffic and road conditions. In off-road conditions there may be less friction
between the tires and the ground and it can make you lose control and cause an accident.
CAUTION — Your field of view is particularly shorter, in fact very short, when riding at night.
Obstructions are more difficult to see at night. Use extreme caution, slow down to compensate
for the much shorter reaction time and ride at a speed appropriate to your field of vision and
surroundings.

properly seated and tightened before riding. A loose saddle clamp or seat post clamp can
cause damage to the seat post, or can cause you to lose control and fall. Use the ball of
