3. Looking After Your Byocycle
3.1
Before The 1
St
Ride
Before you embark on your 1st journey aboard your ByoCycle, we strongly recommend
you familiarise yourself with the bike and its controls. Ensure your bicycle is ready to use
and adjusted to fit your body.
That Means:
• Setting the position of the saddle and handlebars to suit your body size.
• Checking the assembly and position of the brakes.
• Securing the wheels onto the frame and forks.
• Checking the tyre pressures.
• Checking the battery to make sure it is properly secured.
• Setting the adjustable suspension setting to suit your riding style.

Allow your authorised ByoCycle specialist to adjust your brakes, so that they are within easy
reach at all times. Ensure you know which brake lever operates which brake (left/right).
WARNING!
Modern braking systems might be more powerful or have a different functionality or
feel to what you have previously experienced. It is advised to take an initial test ride in a safe
and open space to familiarise yourself before setting off on your first ride. Also remember the
effectiveness of the brakes will be different in wet conditions, we advise allowing extra braking
distances in adverse/wet conditions.
WARNING! Always apply the bicycle’s brakes before stepping onto the pedal. Both brakes have
a motor cut-out switch which will ensure the bicycle stays stationary while you familiarise yourself.
The initial force of power will give a different riding experience to a non-electric powered bike.
In some instances this can lead to falls and/or dangerous incidents, which can lead to injury.
To assess your bike for rattles and unfamiliar noises, lift the bike slightly off the ground (5cm) and
drop it (making sure at the same time it does not fall over completely). If you hear any rattles,
please seek the advise of you ByoCycle specialist.
