the brakes in case of an emergency. Limit your speed by constantly
applying the brakes. Your ECOPED is not designed to travel faster
than 40km/h. Such speeds will be reached when going down very
steep hills and therefore such hills must be either avoided or ridden on
responsibly.
CAUTION!
Speeding will cause damage to the wheel mechanism of your ECOPED and may
result in loss of control and personal injury.
4.4.3 RIDING UPHILL
Riding uphill requires experience and knowledge of your ECOPED’s
potential. Your ECOPED is designed to carry a total load of 125kg, up
on a maximum slope of 16°. A larger load will decrease the maximum
climbing angle as well as the speed at which your ECOPED will travel
up that hill. When climbing a steep slope, always pedal with the as-
sistance of a motor.
WARNING!
Travelling too slow up the hill will cause loss of balance, which may result in serious
injury.
4.5 PEDALING
Your ECOPED is equipped with folding pedals. In case of a battery
motor failure, pedals can be used as an alternative method of power.
When standing still, use the pedals to start moving the ECOPED
forward, and then switch over to electrical power when needed. This
method will greatly conserve battery power during commuting or long
periods of use.
4.6 TURNING
When riding your ECOPED, it is your responsibility to be a safe and
informed driver. When on the road, do not make any sudden move-
ments when turning into an intersection. Always signal and check your
mirrors and blind spots. Before turning, make sure to slow down to a
safe speed, which will allow for a safe turn. For more information, refer
to your provincial motorcyclist handbook.
