5.2. BEFORE RIDING
Regardless of your experience level, you should read the “FIRST” section of your Owner’s
Manual (Bike Fit, Safety First, Mechanical Safety Check and First Ride) and carry out all
important safety checks. In addition, make sure you are familiar with the following areas of the
bicycle that are specific to electric bicycles.
BEFORE YOUR FIRST RIDE:
BATTERY: Is the battery fully charged?
MASTERMIND TCU DISPLAY: Are you familiar with the function of the display features?
REMOTE: Are you familiar with the function of the buttons on the remote?
BEFORE EVERY RIDE:
BATTERY: Do you have sufficient battery charge?
MASTERMIND TCU DISPLAY: Is the display functioning correctly?
REMOTE: Do you know how to use the remote to change the motor support level from OFF
to ECO to TRAIL to TURBO?
5.3. KNOW YOUR RANGE
Know the range of your electric bicycle before you start your ride. You can calculate your range
by visiting
, selecting your Turbo bicycle model, then clicking on the
range calculator. In addition to the range calculator, we recommend using the Smart Control
feature in the Mission Control App to control your range.
5.4. REMOVABLE YELLOW STICKER
Your Kenevo SL bicycle has a removable yellow
sticker adhered to the frame, stating the bicycle
serial number. Remove this sticker from the bicycle
and place it on the last page of this manual for future
reference.
5.5. RIDING WITH KIDS
There are many different setups that allow you to ride with kids. Please look at the Riding
Safely section in the Owner’s Manual regarding general information and instructions on child
carriers or trailers.
If you regularly ride with kids on your bicycle, your Authorized Specialized Retailer should
conduct a periodic safety inspection.
WARNING! Specialized bicycles are only designed and tested for use by one
person at a time. Carrying a child on your Specialized bicycle is at your own
risk. If you choose to install an accessory on your Specialized bicycle such
as a trailer, carrier, or trailer cycle, make sure it is compatible and refer to
the manufacturer’s instructions and your Authorized Specialized Retailer.
You should make sure your bicycle is still safe to ride with the accessory
installed. Be sure to not exceed the structural weight limit of the bicycle when
using a trailer, trailer cycle or child carrier. Also make sure not to exceed the
maximum cargo weight when using a child carrier.
WARNING! Riding with kids on your bicycle will affect the handling by altering
the center of gravity, weight and balance. It may also negatively impact your
cornering ability, increase your stopping distance and reduce your ability to
slow down and maneuver, especially at higher speeds or down a steep grade.
All of this can result in a loss of control, potentially causing serious injury and/
or death. You should also become familiar with and practice riding with the
accessory in a controlled environment away from traffic.
WARNING! Do not attach a child carrier, trailer or similar accessory to a
composite or carbon fiber part or component, either directly or indirectly.
For example, do not attach a trailer to a rear axle when the rear triangle is
made of composite or carbon fiber. Likewise, do not attach a trailer cycle to
a composite or carbon seatpost or a child carrier to a composite or carbon
fork. Either may potentially apply unusual forces on your bicycle frame or
component which could result in damage and cause a complete failure,
with the risk of serious injury or death. If you have previously attached an
accessory to a composite or carbon fiber part or component, do not ride until
you have had your Authorized Specialized Retailer conduct a careful safety
inspection.
Before riding with kids on your bicycle, please inform yourself of all applicable
legal requirements and regulations in your country and state. There may be
restrictions on riding your bicycle with certain or any accessory(ies). This is
especially true for electric and pedal-assist bicycles.
