This is a high powered electric bike requiring the user
to be familiar with it’s settings prior to use.
DO NOT attempt to operate your bike without reading
your user manual prior to riding.
2.1 Safe riding
First journey:
For your first ride select an environment
free from hazards or distractions. Riding an eBike
is different to a standard bicycle and requires that
you be familiar with the power on/off switch, torque
sensing and assist, gears and braking.
Rules and regulations:
Always abide by the road rules
and respect other road and path users. Check your
state and local laws for eBike laws and statutes.
Ride at an appropriate speed in accordance with the
terrain, the conditions, local regulations and your
abilities. Please ensure you are wearing adequate
protection including a compliant helmet.
Headphones and technology:
Do not ride with
headphones or while operating a mobile phone.
Lights:
Always ride with operational and adequate
lights and that they are not obscured or covered.
Minors:
This bike is not intended for minors in
accordance with local eBike regulations. If you are
a parent or guardian, you are responsible for the
activities and safety of your child/dependent, and that
includes making sure that the bicycle is properly fitted
to the child, that it is in good repair and safe operating
condition, that you and your child have learned and
understand the safe operation of the bicycle, and
that you and your child have learned, understand
and obey not only the applicable local motor vehicle,
bicycle and traffic laws, but also the common sense
rules of safe and responsible bicycling. You should
read this manual, as well as review its warnings and
the bicycle’s functions and operating procedures with
your child, before letting your child ride the bicycle.
2.2 Different riding conditions
Your bike is designed for pavement and gravel roads.
Wet weather impairs traction, braking and visibility,
both for the bicyclist and for other vehicles sharing the
road. The risk of an accident is dramatically increased
in wet conditions.
Under wet conditions, the stopping power of your
brakes (as well as the brakes of other vehicles sharing
the road) is dramatically reduced and your tires do
not grip as effectively. This makes it harder to control
speed and easier to lose control. To make sure that
you can slow down and stop safely, ride with caution
and apply your brakes earlier and more gradually than
you would under normal, dry conditions.
Although the motor is protected, DO NOT ride your
eBike through deep water, which could damage the
motor, battery, or motor controller. Do not expose
the battery to extended periods of wet or hot
temperature/weather when not riding. Make efforts
to protect electrical connections from excess water.
Do not wash your eBike with water; only use a dry or
mildly damp cloth to clean the frame and parts.
