PEDALING TECHNIQUE:
Position the ball of your foot
on the center of the pedal.
When pedaling, ensure your
legs are parallel to the bicycle
frame. To absorb shock, keep
your elbows slightly bent.
Your Optibike may be pedaled
as a normal bike and without
assistance from the motor.
Because the Optibike is
heavier
and
balanced
differently than your ordinary
bicycle, it is recommended
that
the
user
become
acquainted
with
manual
operation before using the
motor assistance.
BRAKING:
Your Optibike is equipped
with a front and rear brake,
which are mounted in typical
motocross fashion.
