Safety recommendations

 

Check and make sure that all component 
connections  and  accessories  are  safely 
attached  before  every  ride.  Do  not  ride 
your  bike  with  loose  components  or 
accessories. Take the bike to your retailer 
if necessary. 

Always  wear  a  homologated  helmet;  it 
could  save  your  life.  Make  sure  it  is 
properly attached and positioned. 

Wear  bright,  visible  clothes.  Preferably 
closely  fitted  to  your  body  to  avoid 
entanglement  into  components.  Lace 
your shoes. 

Keep control of your speed at all time and 
always  ride  within  your  capacity  and 
limits. 

On  public  roads,  always  ensure  you  are 
visible  to  other  road  users.  Make  sure 
your  bike  has  all  the  reflectors  or  lights 
that are required by the local laws. 

Know and respect the local laws regarding 
bicycle 

use 

and 

required 

safety 

equipment on public roads. 

Never ride under the influence of alcohol 
or  illicit  substances.  This  could  seriously 
impair your judgment, reflexes or balance 
and  may  lead  to  prosecutions,  serious 
injuries or even death. 

Never  carry  a  second  passenger  on  the 
bike. 

Do not carry anything on the handlebars 
or  between  your  legs  as  this  could 
seriously  impact  your  balance  or  get 
caught  in  the  wheels  and  may  cause 
serious injury or death. 

Make  sure  the  bike  is  properly  sized  for 
you and that you are fully able to control 
it. 

Adapt your riding style and behaviour to 
each  type  of  terrain,  situation,  and 
weather condition. 

This product and its components were not 
designed  to  be  used  for  extreme 
conditions  or  stunts.  Do  not  engage  in 
aggressive riding or jumps. 

Avoid  riding  on  wet  or  icy  ground  if 
possible.  Wet  and  icy  ground  greatly 
increase risk of a loss of control. 

Avoid  riding  at  night  if  possible.  If  you 
must, make sure you are easily seen from 
other road users. Install adequate lights to 
your bike. 

Stay  away  from  potential  hazardous 
situations  such  as  stairs,  steep  descents, 
curbs, heavy car traffic, etc.

any sea spray particles or sand whenever 
possible.
