Before riding:
Adjust the height of the handlebars and saddle to suit the rider, whose toes should be
able to just touch the ground.
■Check that all lights and displays are working.
■Check regularly to ensure that the electrical connectors between the bike
and battery are clean.
■Check the brakes: this can be done by putting the front brake on and
pushing forwards. Do the same with the back brakes. The bike should not
move and the brake levers should not touch the handlebars. The brakes
should work without having to press down too hard on the handles.
■If your bike has a quick release on the front wheel then check that this is
properly tight in its position within the front forks. Quick release
mechanisms can more easily work loose than conventional axles and so
should be checked often for tightness.
■Wear an approved safety helmet when riding your e-bike:
■After mounting the bicycle, turn on the main switch, the power display
light will come on, indicating power is connected
■Release the kickstand, mount the bike, placing one foot ready to pedal,
check that it is safe to proceed, and then set off. You will feel the
motor as you begin to pedal.
■As you cycle, the battery power will be consumed, and the power level
indicator lights will indicate this reduced battery life. .
■Use both brakes together when stopping; do not use only one brake.
■Remember when riding in wet or snow conditions your brakes will be less effective
and a greater stopping distance is needed.
■Do not ride through deep puddles or streams. Ensure that water never
reaches the motor and controller level. This could short out the power and void the
warranty
■Do not carry passengers
■Do not ride under the influence of drugs or alcohol, or when feeling unwell.
■Do not ride at night without lights. If the lights are not working, it may be
safer to walk with the bike.
■Please follow the Highway Code for the safety of yourself and others.
