CAUTION: For your safety you must carefully read this manual and follow its instructions.

Your bicycle may come with additional instruction sheets that cover features unique to your

bike. Please ensure that you read and become familiar with their contents and retain them with

this manual for future reference. Remember bicycles, in most areas, are subject to the same

laws, rules, and regulations as motor vehicles.

Always wear a CPSC approved helmet when riding your bike.
Learn and follow local and state traffic use laws.

Any major service or adjustments on your bike not covered in this manual should be carried

out by a professional bicycle mechanic. If you wish to make adjustments yourself, this manual

contains important tips on how to do it.

CAUTION: Any adjustments you make are entirely at your own risk. Do NOT use your bike

for freestyle and stunt riding, jumping or competitive events. Even if you are riding a mountain

bike, you should know that off-road use or any similar activities can be dangerous, and you

assume the risk for personal injury, damages or losses incurred from such use. Do not ride

your bike when any part is damaged or not working properly. You must, for your safety and

the safety of other users, consult a professional bicycle mechanic for any questions on

repairs or maintenance.

WARNING: As with all mechanical components, the bicycle is subjected to wear

and high stresses. Different materials and components react to wear or stress

fatigue in different ways. As your bicycle ages, you should inspect it more frequently to

look for deformed, cracked, bent, or loose components. Such conditions may lead to

sudden failure. This may possibly cause injuries to the rider. If something is cracked or

broken, do not ride until repairs have been made.

NOTE: BEFORE TRANSPORTING THE BIKE AND/OR BATTERY, CALL CUSTOMER SERVICE AT

1-800-451-KENT (5368) FOR SPECIFIC DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS.
