MECHANICAL SAFETY CHECK
Routinely check the condition of your cycle. Make sure no fasteners, cables
or components have become loose or damaged in any way. As well, perform
a visual inspection of the whole cycle before every ride. Inspect the frame
for cracks and make sure it is not bent or broken. Also, check the cycle's
components including:
WHEELS
•
Check the condition of both tires making sure the tread
is in good condition and free from punctures, cracks, and
deformations. In addition, ensure that the spokes are tight and
not broken.
•
Maintain proper tire pressure as indicated on the tire sidewall.
Tire pressure is critical to safety, ride enjoyment, and battery
life.
• Ensure the wheels are true and properly dished.
•
If your cycle has quick release axles, make sure that the locking
levers are correctly tensioned and in the closed position.
BATTERY
•
Establish that the batteries are in good operating condition and
kept fully charged and properly secured and locked when on
the cycle.
•
Make certain that the battery is inserted securely: push the
battery into its holder until it clicks into the lock. Remove the
key from the lock and pull the battery to check if it has indeed
locked into place.
•
Check the charge status of the battery. Familiarize yourself with
battery charging and storage best practices.
BRAKES SYSTEM
•
Ensure both front and rear brakes are in proper working
condition, are not excessively worn, and are in the correct
working position relative to the rims.
•
Pull both brake levers. You should feel an obvious pressure
point and the levers should not be able to touch the handle.
LIGHTING
•
Check if the front and rear lights are working properly. Do not
cover any lighting or reflectors (if applicable).
