Lighting system
Hebb bikes features wide angle high performance reflectors at the
front, sides and rear. Front and rear LED lights are powered by the main battery;
electrical consumption is negligible. Be safe, use the lights often.
Lock
When parking your bicycle, turning the key to the ‘OFF’ position and removing it
will shut the system off and lock the battery in place. Use a chain lock to further secure
your bicycle when necessary. We also recommend you insure your bike against theft.
Central support stand
This spring loaded stand supports your bike straight up. Use
your feet to depress the stand downwards and pull the bike backwards. Ensure the
stand is firmly rested on the ground before leaving the bike.
Do not sit on the bike with
the stand parked. The central support stand is made of aluminum alloy and meant to
only take the weight of the bicycle and not with the rider on it.
Luggage rack
The luggage rack provided comes equipped with a spring loaded catch
and elastic strap. If you plan to carry luggage on the rear, make sure everything is
securely fastened and clear from the rear wheel. There are many useful accessories
that can be fitted on the rear rack, from panniers to child seats. Do however take note
that the load limit is 55 lbs.
Maintaining your bicycle ensures you’ll get the most out of every ride and out of the
entire life of your Hebb bike. How much of your bike’s maintenance you can do
yourself will depend on your knowledge, skill, experience and whether you have the
necessary tools for the job. Learning from available cycling literature and joining
cycling communities can be an enjoyable way of improving your skill and knowledge
about maintaining bicycles. Beyond this manual, it is good to consult your Hebb dealer
for advice regularly.
Gearing
Your bike has a 7 speed Shimano rear hub shifting system. For your initial
ride, we suggest you put the bike in 4
th
gear and get used to riding the bike before
shifting gears. Use the upper lever to shift up, and use the lower lever to shift down.
You do not have to be moving to shift gears.
