completed, particularly in the case of online sales. It is therefore crucial to check all those components yourself
before the first ride.
3.2.4 Check your brakes
Before your first ride it is crucial to familiarise yourself with the braking system and make sure that both brakes
are in fully working condition. Please remember that the RIGHT HAND LEVER operates the front brake and the
LEFT HAND LEVER operates the rear brake. It is always best to use both brakes at the same time. When you
cycle in wet conditions, please remember that the braking performance may be poorer than while cycling on
the dry surface. Always include extra braking distance during wet conditions. You should never ride your bike
with none or even only one working brake. Both brakes must be in fully working condition at all times.
3.2.5 Importance of keeping seat posts suspension cover
All Oxygen bikes are equipped with suspension seat post. The moving parts of the post are covered with the
rubber protection. You should always check the condition of the rubber and make sure it is fitted tightly. It is
particularly important when carrying a child on the rear racks saddle to make sure that the child will not put
fingers in the post.
3.3 Legal requirements
It is important that the bicycle is equipped with all necessary safety components such as a bell and a legal
lighting system. Please remember to use the full lighting system when cycling in dark conditions. We do not
recommend using flashing lighting systems – using such systems on public roads is not allowed by the UE law.
In most countries, white colour is used for the front light and red colour for the rear one. Please note that
using green colour for the front light is not allowed by the EU law and should never be installed on a bicycle’s
handlebar in any of the EU countries.
3.4 Your own safety
RULE no.1 We recommend that you always use a helmet when cycling, regardless of the time or distance of
your ride.
RULE no.2 Please never cycle under the influence of alcohol or drugs, as this significantly increases a risk of an
accident, serious injury or even death.
3.5 Carrying luggage on your bike
3.5.1 Attaching your luggage
It is important to make sure that the luggage is attached securely and doesn’t exceed the maximum
recommended limit. Please make sure you only use appropriate pannier sets for your luggage needs. Each
pannier should be attached securely to the carrier’s railings.
3.5.2 Maximum allowable luggage
Total luggage weight should not exceed 15kgs, including panniers sets. The weight of the luggage should be
placed equally on both sides, with a maximum of 7.5kgs on each side of the carrier.
3.5.3 Warnings regarding carrying luggage
 It is important that the luggage weight is placed equally on both sides of the rack without significant
differences in weight on any side.
 Please do not overload the rear carrier with more than the maximum allowable weight.
 Please do not attach a child seat to the standard rear rack supplied – you should use a specifically
designed carrier instead
 Please do not fix and modify the carrier rack by yourself as this may have an effect on the safety.
