Please obey the local traffic regulations for riding this type of vehicle.
Always wear an approved safety helmet when riding on New Zealand roads.
Please read this instruction manual carefully
before
you ride your electric bike
for the first time.
Regularly check tire pressures to facilitate easy pedalling and to minimise

Always check the brakes before using your bike to make sure they are working
correctly. Make adjustments to enhance the brakes’ sensitivity if needed. Please
use the brakes in advance of any hazard and reduce your speed on snowy or
rainy days.
Please hold the handlebar in both hands except when you need notify others for
turns etc.
Please use the front and rear lights in dark or low-visibility conditions.
Make sure your body, clothing or other objects placed on the bike during use do
not come into contact with the chain or the wheels which could lead to damage/
injury.
Never touch the charging connector on the battery case with your wet hands,
keys or other conducting metals in case they damage the battery pole and cause
a short circuit.

to help make you visible to other motor vehicles and
fellow riders whenever you are riding, even in daylight hours.
Don’t lend the electric bicycle to anyone who doesn’t know how to operate it.

carrying a passenger is not recommended.
To brake, the rider must action both brake levers to the correct degree.
Never ride the electric bike under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
Take care in bad weather conditions, especially on wet or loose surfaces.
If possible, do not ride in adverse weather conditions, low visibility or if you are
very tired for the sake of safety.
This electric bicycle can be used in the rain; however, it must not be
submerged
in water or puddles
.
The controller, motor and other electrical devices may be
short circuited, causing damage and creating possible dangerous situations.
Never spray water from a hose to wash your eBike. Don’t get the electrical
components wet (battery connector, motor, controller, cables, handlebar controls,
etc.)
Don’t let children under the age of 10 ride your eBike without close supervision.
