Tips For Riding Safe
Electric bike riders need to become adapted to the power controls before riding. So, you
should ride your new bike in an open area and set the power assist level to “0”. When you feel
self-assured operating your bike, you can increase the power assist gradually. Keeping your hands
over the brake levers is good practice. The brake levers have motor inhibitors that will shut down the
motor power when applied. If for any reason you lose control, apply the brake levers immediately to
shut down the motor power. Never stop your ebike by using your feet because you will lose you
balance and you can be injured.
Maintenance
It is important to perform proper maintenance and often fine-tune your ebike to ensure
optimal performance and safe riding. Regularly lubricate your chain, gear shifter, sprocket and all
moving parts. Always check the condition of your ebike before riding and make sure that it is well
maintained. Your cables, spokes and chain can be stretched after an initial break-in period of
80-160 km (50-100 mi), and bolted connections can be loosened. You are recommended to ask a
certified, reputable bike mechanic perform a tune-up on your ebike after your initial break-in in
period of 80-160 km.
Electric bikes are suitable for one person to ride. In order to avoid the wheel center of gravity shift
or unstable operation, please do not carry people. For safety of your cycling, please do not use
electric bikes for minors, pregnant women and the elderly.
The charger must be stored in a cool and dry place as not to cause a short circuit inside the charger.
So, do not carry it with the bike as possible to avoid damaged caused by collision.
It is really important to have the proper air pressure in your tires. Never underinflate or
overinflate your tires. Low pressure can result in loss of control and overinflated tires can burst.
Always Inflate your tires from a regulated air source with an available pressure gauge. Inflating your
tires with an unregulated air source may overinflate them, resulting in a burst tire. The suggested
pressure is printed on the side of the tire walls.
Before changing a tire or tube, make sure that all air pressure has been removed from
the inner tube prior to removing the tire from the rim. Failure to remove all air pressure from the inner
tube could result in serious injury.
This manual is not intended as a detailed service or repair manual. Seek assistance from your local
bike shop mechanic at a reputable bike shop with all the proper certifications and qualifications.
If you do not have the experience, skill, or tools to
complete maintenance or adjustment of your bike, it is
seriously recommended to ask certified, reputable bike
mechanic to check your bike and ensure it is safe to ride.
