Riding safety
Handling Accidents
Personal safety is your first priority. If you or anyone else is injured,
carefully assess the severity of the injury and determine whether it is
safe to continue riding.
If necessary, please call for emergency assistance. If other people
and vehicles are involved in the crash, you need to follow local laws
and regulations.
If you decide to continue riding, turn the power switch to the
(OFF) position, and assess the conditions of your motorcycle.
Check the power battery for leakage. Check whether the key nuts
and bolts are tightened. Check whether the handlebars, brakes
and wheels work properly. Please ride your motorcycle slowly and
carefully.
If there is damage that would not be immediately manifested, please
take your motorcycle to a qualified repair shop as soon as possible
for a thorough inspection.
Please note the following after a crash:
●
If your motorcycle is damaged in a severe crash, there may be a risk
of electric shock. Do not touch any electrical components (see Page
11) or their connecting wires.
●
Avoid touching the power battery’s electrolyte.
A severe crash may cause leakage of the power battery’s electrolyte.
Avoid contact of the electrolyte with skin or eyes.
The power battery’s electrolyte is corrosive. If you are accidentally
exposed to the electrolyte, flush the contact area with plenty of water,
and seek immediate medical attention.
●
Use a fire extinguisher suitable for electrical fires.
Warning
This motorcycle uses the 96 V lithium battery. If you dispose it improp-
erly after an accident, it may cause serious injury or death.
In the event of an accident, please follow the methods and instructions
described in this User Manual.
Power battery
If the power battery emits a smell, it may be faulty. Immediately park
your motorcycle in a safe outdoor place, and keep it away from flam-
mable materials. Turn the power switch to the
(OFF) position,
and contact your authorized dealer. (On how to charge the power
battery, see Page 38.)
Do not disassemble or modify the power battery on your own.
Brake
Please follow the guidelines below:
●
Avoid excessive emergency braking.
Sudden braking may reduce the stability of your motorcycle.
Slow down your motorcycle before turning if conditions permit, or you
may slip and fall on the ground.
●
Please be careful when riding on surfaces with low friction.
Tires are more likely to slip on such surfaces, so the motorcycle
needs longer braking distance.
●
In roads with long and steep slopes, repeated braking may cause
the brake to get overheated severely, thus affecting the braking
effectiveness.
