Weather & Riding Conditions : Bike
brakes don’t work well when they’re wet.
Don’t ride in the rain or snow. Please be aware that distance to stop may double
or triple over the distance that it takes under dry conditions. Ride more slowly,
and anticipate your stops by applying the brakes MUCH
earlier. Don’t allow
children to ride on slopes that are too steep for their ability.
•
Night time
: Don’t ride after dark or in low light conditions.
•
Maintenance : It worked fine when we put it in the box: Please maintain your
bike. There are instructions here in this manual. We
haven’t figured out how to
make a bike that takes care of itself. Check the brakes and the tires and the
tightness of all those important fasteners before each and every ride. Pretend
that you’re a pilot doing a walk-around of his airplane before taking-off. The pilot
knows that his life depends on the airworthiness of his airplane;
the rider’s life
depends on the preparedness of your bike. Please have your bike checked by a
qualified
mechanic AT LEAST once a year. It’s a small investment in the well-
being of the rider.
•
Batteries : We have equipped your OSET electric bike with sealed lead acid
batteries. We have devoted an entire chapter of this manual to the batteries.
Please read and understand this important information. As always, if you
have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
- Read this manual cover to cover: There is a lot of important information that
you need to know. Do not guess how to adjust the machine, charge it or ride it.
We have recommendations that will instruct how to set
–up, maintain, and ride
your OSET. Please read them thoroughly.
- Call us with questions or problems: We can be reached at the numbers
listed on the back cover of this manual. You can also get assistance from the
OSET dealers.
