SAFETY AND PRECAUTIONS WHILE USING AN E-BIKE
Before using your E-Bike for the first time, ask your dealer to explain all the functions and
features that you do not fully understand. Check with your dealer to make sure your E-Bike fits
you properly.
It is essential that you become familiar with the use of your E-Bike before riding it in
traffic
. You must get used to riding your E-Bike in a controlled environment, away from cars,
other cyclists, pedestrians or other obstacles. It is recommended to ride in a closed circuit
for 4 to 10 hours, depending on the users level of experience, in order to become familiar with
the controls, features and performance of your new E-Bike. Familiarize yourself with the
power assistance modes,
the
braking action,
and
how steering the E-Bike is affected
when the power assistance is in use
.
Before turning on the power assistance, you must always be on your E-Bike and be fully
prepared to start riding it. Always turn off the power assistance before getting off your E-Bike.
To turn the power assistance on and off, press the ON/OFF button on the control panel. If the
pedals are accidentally rotated while the power is ON, failure to follow this procedure may
engage the propulsion system of the E-Bike causing the E-Bike to advance uncontrollably,
which could result in serious injury to yourself and damages to the E-Bike.
Always check the tire pressure before getting on your bike. Your tires should have the correct
amount of pressure as suggested by the manufacturer (the recommended pressure is shown
on the side of the tire). Insufficient tire pressure will reduce your battery’s range significantly.
Routinely check the condition of your E-Bike before every ride. Make sure nothing is loose.
Lift the front wheel off the ground by two or three inches, then let it bounce on the ground. If
anything sounds, feels or looks loose, have your E-Bike inspected by your dealer.
Check the brakes for proper operation before each ride. Disc brakes can get extremely hot
with extended use.
Be careful not to touch a disc brake until it has had plenty of time to
cool down.
Always wear an approved helmet when riding your E-Bike and follow the helmet
manufacturer’s instructions for fit, use and care of your helmet. It is also recommended to
wear shoes that will stay on your feet and grip the pedals, bright visible clothing, and
protective eyewear.
It’s your responsibility to familiarize yourself with the laws of the areas where you ride, and to
comply with all applicable laws.
Do not ride in winter or wet weather conditions. Do not ride on rigorous off road trails.
Avoid
all contact with salt, water, sand, and ice.
