PRACTICAL SUGGESTIONS
USING AN ELECTRIC BICYCLE
BATTERIES
As indicated in the Notice to the Owner, it is essential that you become
familiar with the use of your EBGO bicycle before riding it in traffic. You
must get used to riding your electric vehicle in a controlled area that is
away from traffic and various other obstacles that might be encountered
during a bike ride.
It is strongly recommended that you get a good quality locking system for
your EBGO and that you ask a specialist about the best means of protec-
ting against theft.
An annual inspection of your EBGO together with maintenance and lubrica-
tion are suggested to optimize the vehicle’s performance.
Regularly check the pressure of your tires so that they have the correct
pressure as suggested by the manufacturer (the recommended pressure is
shown on the side of the tire).
Each pound of pressure below the recommended amount will reduce
your battery’s range by 1 km.
To properly use, maintain and store your battery, it is important that you
read the instructions contained in the ‘Batteries’ section of this manual.
When the time comes when your battery must be replaced, please be envi-
ronmentally-conscious and bring it to a recycling facility.
