SAFETY RESPONSIBILITY
Know the laws of your state. It is your responsibility to know and obey the
laws of your local area concerning the operation of an electric bicycle. In most
cases, cyclists must obey the same laws that apply to motorists. This may
include the use of proper protective equipment – in many states children and
youths are required to wear helmets.
There are also some common sense rules to keep in mind as you are preparing
to ride and as you are riding.
1.
Wear your helmet at all times. This is required by law in some states
and is an important precaution in all states. Always use a helmet that fits
and is approved for such use. Keep the chinstrap fastened. HELMETS
CAN HELP PREVENT HEAD INJURIES IN THE EVENT OF AN
ACCIDENT.
2.
Only one rider at a time. Riding double or carrying large objects that
obstruct your vision or interfere with your control of the vehicle can result
in loss of control.
3.
Ride with traffic and obey all traffic laws.
4.
Do not perform tricks or stunts. Maintain complete control, caution and a
reasonable speed at all times. This bicycle is not suited for stunt jumping,
competition or racing. Never allow other vehicles to tow the bicycle.
5.
When riding at night or in inclement weather, always use lights that are
bright and in good working order. Use a clear light on the front and a
blinking red light on the back. Wear light colored and/or reflective
clothing. Assume motorists are unable to see you and ride in a very
defensive, cautious manner.
6.
Take special precautions when riding in the rain, ice or snow. Give
yourself more time and room to brake. Ride slower than normal in order
to keep full control of your bicycle. It is also difficult for motorists to see
you when it is raining or snowing; take care when riding in inclement
weather.
7.
Watch for cars pulling out in front of you and the sudden opening of car
doors.
8.
Give pedestrians the right of way and be sure to (bell, horn, voice, etc.)
alert them to your presence to avoid any type of collision.
