Tips for Riding an e-bike:
● Before each ride, check that brakes are functioning correctly, and that all frame connections
and/or quick-release levers are secure.
● Start in a lower assist power setting, especially when the bike is new to you.
● Use only as much e-assist power as you need. This will help maximize battery life and keep
you aware of situations you encounter.
● Be aware of obstacles and loose surfaces (sand, gravel, etc.). You may be riding at faster
speeds than without electric assist, so give yourself extra time to stop or avoid these
conditions. The extra torque from the motor can make it easier to lose traction on loose
surfaces.
● Be mindful of other cyclist, pedestrians, and vehicle drivers who may be surprised by the
rapid speed or acceleration of an e-bike rider.
● Charge batteries regularly to ensure maximum range is available for longer rides.
● Do not store batteries in a depleted state. This can result in dramatically shortened battery
life.
