LIABILITY AND GENERAL INFORMATION ON RIDING
The rider is required to use the electrically power assisted cycle with utmost diligence and in full
compliance with the road regulations and all cycling rules in force in the country of use.
This electrically power assisted cycle (EPAC) has been designed and built to be used in off-road
contexts. Its use on public roads and cycle paths is subject to the relative endowment and fitting of
all the devices envisaged by the traffic code and local traffic regulations in force regarding cycling.
It is important to bear in mind that when using the electrically power assisted cycle, even
following this manual to the letter, you are not unencumbered from injury caused by violations
or inappropriate actions taken towards other vehicles, obstacles or people. Misuse of the item or
non-compliance with the instructions provided in this manual may cause severe injury.
The rider must keep the product clean and in a perfect state of efficiency and maintenance,
diligently perform the safety checks he/she is responsible for, as well as keep all the documents
regarding the maintenance of the product.
Riders must carefully assess any weather conditions which could make it potentially dangerous to
use the electrically power assisted cycle.
This product is a vehicle, therefore, the faster is it goes, the longer the braking distance required.
In this regard, it is recommended to moderate the speed and to maintain an adequate braking
distance in the event of adverse weather conditions, in the event of intense traffic or when
traveling on uneven and bumpy road surfaces (irregular road surfaces with potholes, depressions
and obstacles).
The braking distance increases on wet, slippery, muddy or icy roads and the tyre grip decreases
significantly with the risk of the wheels skidding and loss of balance compared to dry roads.
It is, therefore, essential to ride the bike with greater care, maintain a suitable speed and safety
distance from other vehicles or pedestrians.
Take extra care when riding on unfamiliar roads.
For your own safety, it is recommended to wear suitable protective equipment (helmet, knee pads,
elbow pads, suitable shoes) to protect yourself from falls and injuries while riding the product.
When you lend the product, make the rider wear safety devices and explain how to use the vehicle;
do not lend the product to people who do not know how to use it.
The product has been designed to allow the load of a maximum total weight (rider and any load
transported) not exceeding 120 kg.
Avoid using the product, under all circumstances, if the total load transported exceeds the
recommended weight to avoid the risk of damaging the integrity of the structural and electronic
components of the bike.
The electrically power assisted cycle (EPAC), as specified in the provisions of the current reference
standard EN 15194, is a means of transport intended to transport one person only.
The transport of a passenger is only permitted within the framework of the regulations in force
in the country where it is ridden regarding: the minimum age of the rider, maximum age of the
passenger transported, provision of legally approved and authorised passenger transport devices.
It is the user’s responsibility to ascertain the suitability of the equipment devices of the product
used for transporting passenger in terms of construction features, safety systems, anchoring
systems and their installation and assembly on the electrically power assisted cycle in accordance
with the provisions of the structure of the same and within the foreseen load limits.
The user is also responsible for the supply and installation of equipment devices of the product
used for objects and animals transportation in compliance with what is legally approved and
authorized in the country of circulation and with what is foreseen by the structure of the same and
within the load expected limits.
