A word about this 

safety manual  

DEAR KUBERG CUSTOMER

Congratulations on your purchase of a KUBERG Ranger. You now own a state of the 
art electric motorcycle that will give you endless thrills if you maintain it properly. We 
welcome you to the community of KUBERG riders.

Your KUBERG Ranger is a performance motorcycle that should be treated with caution 
and used in safe environments. The Ranger is highly adjustable and can be set up 
specifically for the rider. Please do not allow the motorcycle to be used or adjusted by 
other operators.

Your KUBERG Ranger is driven by a powerful electric motor, which requires experience 
and careful handling. The speed and torque settings MUST be set to suit the abilities 
of the rider. Please remember that even when the torque setting is set to a slow setting, 
the torque on these motors is virtually instant. This means that opening the throttle 
will propel the motorcycle to a rapid speed almost instantly. For developing good riding 
skills this is a wonderful feature, as it will teach riders throttle control gradually with lower 
power. If the maximum power and torque is set too aggressively, the rider may accelerate 
to a speed he/she is not comfortable with. Your Ranger has great capabilities, and can 
grow with the skills of the rider to very high levels of performance, but it is important to 
start slow and speed up as you improve.

KUBERG motorcycles (except the KUBERG Freerider Street) are designed for off road use 
only and must not be used on public roads or sidewalks. Please check and obey all local 
and state laws. KUBERG motorcycles should only be ridden in safe areas where all laws 
are being followed and all required permissions are given.

KUBERG motorcycles are amazingly capable, and can be used from the earliest stages 
of learning to ride all the way through to veteran riders. The secret of learning to ride 
well is to be able to ride a lot, and KUBERG motorcycles make this learning process very 
gratifying for teenagers and adults alike. Thanks again for purchasing a KUBERG  
motorcycle, and we hope you enjoy the ride!
