FIRST USE
Using an electric bicycle is similar to a non-electric one but with some notable
differences. An electric bicycle is heavier and takes longer to stop. To use it, place
yourself in a balanced position on the bike. Once you have put on your helmet and
begin to make your first journey on your new bicycle, be sure to pick a controlled
environment, away from cars, other cyclists, obstacles and unforeseen situations. Take
advantage of these circumstances to become familiar with the controls and operation
of your new eBike:
1. Familiarise yourself with the brakes of the bicycle. Try them at low speed, putting
your weight toward the rear and squeezing the brake levers gently. Excessive
application of the front brake can throw you over the handlebars.
2. Braking too hard can lock the wheel, causing a loss of control or even a fall.
3. If your bike has suspension, familiarise yourself with its response when applying
the brakes and weight changes.
4. Check the handling and response of the bike in general and also check the comfort.
5. Control the speed of the bicycle by using the brakes.
Make sure the battery is keylocked in the frame. Otherwise there
is a risk that it will fall, and damage will not be covered under
warranty.
The bike can accelerate quickly from the stop position and catch
you by surprise. Make sure you always have enough space.
