o

 

Off-road riding requires close attention and specific skills and presents variable conditions and hazards which accompany the conditions. Wear 
appropriate safety gear and do not ride alone in remote areas. 

o

 

Engaging in extreme riding is extremely dangerous and should be avoided. Although many articles/advertisements/catalogues depict extreme 
riding this is not recommended nor permitted and you can be seriously injured or killed if you perform extreme riding. 

o

 

Bicycles and bicycle parts have strength and integrity limitations and extreme riding should not be performed or you risk damaging the 
components or becoming seriously injured or killed.  

o

 

Failure to confirm proper installation, compatibility, proper operation or maintenance of and component or accessory can result in serious injury 
or death. 

o

 

After any incident you must consider your bike unsafe to ride until you consult with a certified bicycle service provider for a comprehensive 
inspection.  

o

 

Failure to properly charge, store or use your battery will void the warranty and may cause a hazardous situation.  

o

 

Extreme care should be taken when using the pedal assist sensor and propulsion on this product. Ensure you understand and are prepared for 
the power assistance to engage as soon as pedaling is underway.  

o

 

You should check the operation of the brake inhibitor switches before each ride. The brake system is equipped with an inhibitor which shuts 
down the power to the electric motor whenever the brakes are engaged. Check proper operation of brake switches before riding. 

o

 

User must understand the operation of the twist throttle and pedal assist sensors before using, and take ample care in their usage in respect to 
traveling at speeds appropriate for usage area and user experience level. Always use the lowest assist level until you are comfortable with the 
bike and feel confident in controlling the power.  

o

 

Any aftermarket changes to your Rad Power Bike not expressly approved by Rad Power Bikes could void the warranty and create an unsafe 
riding experience.  

o

 

Because electric bicycles are heavier and faster than normal bicycles, they require extra caution and care while riding. 

o

 

Take extra care while riding in wet conditions. Feet or hands can slip in wet conditions and lead to death or serious injury from a fall.  

o

 

Do not remove front or rear reflectors, pedal reflectors or bell. 

Helmets 

It is strongly advised that a properly fitting ANSI or SNELL approved bicycle safety helmet be worn at all 
times when riding your bicycle. 

Always wear a properly fitted helmet which covers the forehead when riding a bicycle. Many states 
require specific safety devices. It is your responsibility to familiarize yourself with the laws of the state where you ride and to
