13. BEFORE THE FIRST RIDE
Fully charge the battery before the first use.
Ensure that your bicycle is ready for use and is adjusted to fit your body,
including setting position and fixture of the saddle and handlebar.
Checking the assembly and settings of the brakes
Securing the wheels into the frame and fork
Checking the tire pressure
Ensure that you know which lever operates which brake. Operate and ride your
bicycle first in a quiet and safe place.
Check that the wheels and thru axles as well as all important nuts and bolts are
secure
Push the wheels forward with the brakes pulled. The back brake should
completely prevent the back wheel from moving, while the front brake should
lift the back wheel off the ground with its braking effect. The bicycle’s steering
should not rattle under braking or exhibit any play.(right/left).
The effectiveness of brakes can be different in wet conditions or on slippery
surfaces. Please take into account the possibility of longer braking distances and
slippery road surfaces when riding.
Check the air pressure in the tires. As a general rule you can check the tire
pressure as follows: If you press your thumb on the tire, you should not be able
to significantly change its shape by applying pressure.
Check the tires and rims. Scan them for any damage, cracks or deformations, as
well as embedded particles, e.g. shards of glass or sharp stones.
If you should find any cuts, rips or holes in the tires, please refrain from riding.
First have your bicycle checked over by qualified bicycle mechanics.

The brakes are working safely.
The tires are free of foreign objects and damage, and the wheels run true.
