You must be over 14 to ride an eBike.
• The drive assist system is limited to a maximum
continuous power rating of 0.25kW (250W) and a
maximum speed of 25Km/h, (15.5 mph).
• Your eBike is designed for a maximum permitted
overall weight (rider + l bicycle) of 126kg
(277lbs). The maximum permitted weight of the rider
187lbs (85kg) plus luggage 55lbs(25kg) is
110kg(242lb).
• Do not submerge your eBike in water.
• Be aware that the speed at which you are travelling
may be faster than you are used to, especially when
accelerating.
Battery Safety:
• This appliance includes Li-Ion batteries; do not
incinerate batteries or expose to high temperatures,
as they may explode.
• Shorting the battery terminals may cause burns or
fire.
• Do not place battery pack on wet or metallic
surfaces.
• When you dispose of the appliance remove the
battery and dispose of the battery safely in
accordance with local regulations.
• You must always use the battery in accordance
with the instructions on the battery label.
• Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation
or burns.

water for a minimum of 10 minutes and seek medical
attention.
Brake Safety:
• Regularly check your brakes for signs of wear and
tear. Any worn parts must be repaired or replaced
immediately.
• Be careful while getting used to the brakes. Practice
emergency stops in a place clear of traffic until you
are comfortable controlling your eBike.
• Wet weather reduces your braking power and the
grip of the brakes. Reduce your speed and be aware
of longer stopping distances when cycling in wet
conditions.
• Braking on unpaved surfaces will differ. Be sure to
practice braking on different surface types.
• Ensure that braking surfaces and brake pads are
free of wax, grease and oil.
• Do not pedal and brake at the same time as this will
cause excessive wear.

bike shop and have any worn parts replaced.
• Ensure the battery is removed from the bike before
carrying out any maintenance.
• Make sure that all screws and bolts are tightened
securely
