Avoid making unsafe actions while using the E-48
Many cyclist accidents could have been avoided if the common sense had been
applied.
- The hands always on the handlebar: any small imperfection of the road can provoke a
vibration or a sudden turn on the front wheel.
- Not to ride with object hanging from the handlebar or from any part of the frame, they
could touch the spokes or provoke a sudden handlebar turn, causing the vehicle lost
control.
- Do not ride under the alcohol effects or under any medicament which can reduce the
capacity of riding. The E-48 requires a good coordination of movements and the user
shall be always with precaution of anything happening round him.
- Never carry any additional passenger. The E-48 is designed to be ridden by one sole
person. Resides, it is advisable not to increase the limit weight,.
- Never ride with earphones as they reduce the ability to hear other vehicles.
- Never hold oneself on another vehicle while riding.
Important: Get the seat springs covered in case of fitting a kid seat in the
rear.
ATENTION: As any mechanical device, the E-48 is to wear down with
different efforts. The different materials and components used may react
differently to this daily decline. If the lasting life of a given component
has been exceeded, it may suddenly break, injuring the user. The cracks,
scratches or discoloration in the areas subject to intense use indicate
that the component has exceeded its useful life and must therefore be
replaced.
Caution: In case of changing the cranks or tires, the distance between the
wheel and the toes ( feet ) on turning may be reduced, thus putting at risk
the cyclist’s safety.
