Riding Limitations
◆
32
Steep Hills: Keep it gentle! Don't attempt slopes over 15% to avoid overloading the motor.
Pedal Power Assist: Help the motor out! Use your pedals when climbing hills or starting from a stop for smoother performance.
Smooth Speed: Take it easy! Avoid sudden bursts of speed or abrupt braking to keep the motor happy.
Moderate Pace is Key: Slow and steady wins the race! Gradual acceleration is kinder to both your motor and body.
Parking & Transport
Power Down During Walks: Turn off the power when walking alongside your bike to prevent accidental acceleration.
Weather Wise: Though water-resistant, avoid parking outside for extended periods in cold or harsh weather.
Secure and Conserve: When parked, switch off power and lights, remove the key, and ensure the battery is secure.
Public Place Protection: Lock your Yotobike up with a dedicated bike lock whenever parked in public areas.
Racking it Up: Use racks designed for your bike's size and weight. Remove the battery for easier lifting or loading when transporting.
Yotobike Leopard Maximum Carrying Payload
Your Leopard can handle a total weight of 400 lbs (including rider and cargo).
Cargo Safety Tips
Low and Steady: Secure cargo low to keep the center of gravity low and improve stability.
Secure It Right: Make sure your loads are properly fastened and check them regularly to prevent loosening.
Plan Your Route: Consider hills, steering, and braking when planning your route with cargo. Expect a slightly reduced range due to the extra weight.
Test in Private: Get a feel for the loaded bike in a safe, open area before venturing onto public roads.
Rear Brake First: Always use the rear brake first, followed by the front. Applying the front brake alone, especially at higher speeds, can lead to loss of control.
Kickstand With Caution: The kickstand isn't designed to hold the bike upright with cargo. Always support the bike manually when loading or carrying cargo.
Remember, following these guidelines and understanding your Yotobike will ensure a safe, enjoyable, and long-lasting riding experience. Happy cycling!
