Stopping
Your e-bike has two sets of brakes, at the front and at the rear. The levers attached to the
handlebars, on the left and right, activate the brakes. Pull the levers toward you to activate the
brakes.
You can use both brakes to come to a stop more quickly, or you can use one of the brakes to
come to a gentle stop, depending on your riding needs at the moment.
Note
When the brakes are activated, the power to the engine is automatically turned off, until
you release the brakes. This allows you to stop safely.
Safety Tips
•
When you are traveling in wet weather, water may cause your brakes to function less
efficiently because it reduces friction between the brake pads and the wheels. Take care to slow
down and give yourself more room to stop or slow if necessary.
•
It is a good idea to have your brakes and brake pads checked regularly. The brake pads
will eventually wear down through friction, and after significant use will have to be replaced.
Signalling
You can signal and warn other users of the road by both sound and light signal.
The Horn
The e-bike has a horn. The horn button is on the left handlebar. Simply press it to activate the
horn.
Turning Signal Lights
Your e-bike has turn signal lights. The turn signal activator is on the left handlebar. Push it left or
right to activate it to indicate that you are turning in the appropriate direction, and press the
middle of the button to turn it off.
Note
The turn signals also emit a noise, to ensure that everyone knows you are turning. This
turn signal cannot be disabled without also disabling the visual signal.
Lights
The headlight and taillight are useful features when you are riding at night or in dark areas. They
radically improve your safety in mixed traffic. The switch is located on the left handlebar.
Note
The lights on your e-bike consume some electricity. Keeping them on may reduce the
maximum distance you can travel on one charge by about 5 %.
