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

Release the kickstand, mount the bike, placing one foot ready to pedal,
