Riding the J8
BEFORE EACH RIDE: • CHECK THAT THE HANDLEBAR AND SEAT ARE SECURE.
• CHECK THAT THE TIRE PRESSURE IS SUFFICIENT (35-45 PSI) AND THE BRAKE SYSTEM WORKS CORRECTLY.
• CHECK THAT THE POWER IS TURNED ON.
TWIST THROTTLE: • TRY TO TAKE IT EASY ON THE THROTTLE UNTIL YOU GET USED TO IT.
• THE MORE YOU ROTATE THE THROTTLE, THE FASTER THE BIKE WILL TRAVEL.
• YOUR MAXIMUM SPEED USING THE THROTTLE WILL BE DETERMINED BY THE PEDAL ASSIST MODE YOU
CHOOSE. (REFER TO PAGE 29 FOR PEDAL ASSIST MODE SPEEDS.)
HANDBRAKES: SQUEEZE EACH BRAKE SLOWLY TO AVOID STOPPING ABRUPTLY OR LOSING CONTROL.
PEDAL ASSIST MODES: • THE MOTOR WILL SUPPLEMENT YOUR PEDALING WITH SMALL BOOSTS TO ASSIST IN THE
ACHIEVEMENT OF MAXIMUM SPEED FOR THAT MODE.
• THE HARDER YOU PEDAL, THE CLOSER YOU WILL GET TO THE MAXIMUM SPEED WITHIN
YOUR SET SPEED MODE.
GEARS : • LOWER GEARS GIVE YOU LESS PEDAL RESISTANCE, MAKING IT EASIER TO RIDE UP INCLINES OR OVER ROUGH TERRAIN.
• USE HIGHER GEARS, WHICH GIVE YOU MORE PEDAL RESISTANCE, ON FLAT SURFACES TO REACH HIGHER SPEEDS.
