WET WEATHER
•
It is recommended to not ride in wet weather. Ride in wet weather only if necessary.
•
The Super73 is not meant for use in puddles, heavy rain, and streams. Never immerse this
product in water as the electrical system may be damaged.
•
Take extra care while riding in wet conditions. Feet or hands can slip in wet
conditions and lead to death or serious injury from a fall.
•
Brake earlier as it will take longer to slow than when operated in dry conditions. Decrease
riding speed.
•
Wear reflective clothing and use approved safety lights.
•
Road hazards are more difficult to see when wet, proceed with caution.
NIGHT RIDING
Be safe! It is recommended to not ride at night. Ride at night only if necessary.
•
Ensure your Super73 is equipped with a full set of correctly positioned and clean reflectors.
•
Use a properly functioning lighting set comprised of a white front lamp and red rear lamp.
•
Use flashing rear lights to increase visibility.
•
Wear reflective and light-colored clothing.
•
Slow down and use familiar roads with street lighting, if possible.
TIRE INFLATION AND REPLACEMENT
The Super73 has 20’’x4.25’’ rubber tires with inner tubes. The tires are designed for
durability and safety for regular cycling activities. However, tires need to be checked
before each use for proper inflation and condition. Proper inflation, care and timely
replacement will help to ensure that your bikes operational characteristics will be
maintained, and unsafe conditions avoided.
Lithium Cycles recommends 15-20 P.S.I. for the front and rear tires on the Super73 for street use. And
15-18 P.S.I. for off road riding.
It is critically important proper air pressure is always maintained in pneumatic tires. Do not
underinflate or overinflate your tires. Low pressure may result in loss of control, and
overinflated tires may burst. Failure to maintain the air pressure rating indicated on
pneumatic tires at all times may result in tire and/or wheel failure. Inflate your tires from a
regulated air source with an available pressure gauge. Inflating your tires from an unregulated
air source could overinflate them, resulting in a burst tire.
When tire wear becomes evident or a flat tire is discovered, you must replace the
tire (s) and/or inner tube (s) before operating the bike to avoid injury to operators
and/or damage to your bike.
To prevent serious injury, ensure that all air pressure has been removed from the inner tube
prior to removing the tire from the rim.
A NOTE FOR PARENTS AND GUARDIANS
As a parent or guardian, you are responsible for the activities and safety of your child. The Super73 is
not designed for use by children. Additional safety information regarding helmets follows in the
HELMETS section of this manual.
