EQUIPMENT -

be properly equipped for commuting including any
legally required lights, signals, and registrations.
Ask your Authorized Cannondale Retailer about
commuting and if your bike’s intended use suited to
commuting and it is properly equipped.
DANGERS -
Operating an E-bike as a commuting
vehicle is no less dangerous than an ordinary
pedal bike or automobile. E-Bikes are certainly not
designed to protect you in a crash. Do not assume
the bike or its drive capability will protect you or
keep you from being involved in a serious accident.
NIGHT RIDING
- Riding at night on a E-Bike or pedal-
only bikes is very hazardous.
Read the topic “Riding at Night” in your
Cannondale
Bicycle Owner’s Manual
now for more information
on the many hazards of riding at night.
You must operate with a very high degree of
awareness and precaution to only reduce the risk
of death or serious injury.
No Child Seats or Trailers
Child seats and trailers or racks can not be used and
are not allowed to be used with your Cannondale
E-Bike.
ACCIDENTAL ACTIVATION
- Always remove battery
from the bike before working on the bicycle or if
you transport the bike by car or plane. Accidental
activation of the bicycle drive system can result in
serious injury.
The drive system will not function without the
computer unit attached to the base properly. If
the computer disconnects from the base during
operation, the drive system will shut off. If this
happens you will have to stop the bike, turn the
system off , re-attach the computer to the base, and
then turn the system back on to resume. Remove
the computer when not operating the bike to
prevent theft or unauthorized use.
YOUR INSURANCE POLICIES
- Your insurance
policies (e.g. liability, property and injury) may not
provide coverage for accidents involving the use of
this bicycle. To determine if coverage is provided you
should contact your insurance company or agent.
Also, make sure your speed e-bike is insured and
registered according to the local laws.
RIDE SENSIBLY, RIDE SAFELY AROUND OTHERS
- The application of power by means of the electric
motor assist means that riders can reach high speed.
Riding faster increases the risks of serious accidents.
Watch out for other vehicles, cyclists, pedestrians,
and animals where you ride. Always operate under
control and at a safe speed. Others may not be
aware of you. It is your responsibility to anticipate
and react to avoid accidents.
E-BIKES ARE HEAVIER THAN ORDINARY BIKES
- Always park the bike in a suitable safe area away
from children, cars or animals that may come into
contact with it. Park the bike so that it cannot fall
over possibly resulting in injuries.

THROUGH WATER OR SUB-MERGE ANY PART OF
THE BIKE.
If you ride through water you can lose
control of the bike or the drive-assist system can
become disabled or damage.
