Every time before you use your bike
Please ensure that you only use the bike as described
in the chapter “Proper use”. Please take note of the
intended use as indicated in this chapter and the maxi-
mum overall weight of your bike. It is important that you
inspect your bike each time before using it to ensure
that it is functioning properly. As a minimum you should
complete the following checks:
Quick release
Please check the quick releases on the front wheel
axle, rear axle and seat post.
Check to make sure the wheels are securely mounted
and that the seat cannot be twisted.
Wheels and tyres
Check that the tyres and wheels are in good condi-
tion. Check the tyre pressure with a pressure gauge.
The air pressure may drop if the bike is not used for
prolonged periods or as the result of transport.
Make sure that both wheels spin freely and check
the wheels’ radial run-out. Wheel run-out may be
attributed to defects in the tyres, the spokes or hub.
Brakes
Before using the bike for the first time, check the
brakes. First check the location of the hand brake lever.
In countries with right-hand traffic, Porsche Bikes are
shipped such that the left brake lever controls the
front wheel brake and the right the rear wheel brake.
In countries with left-hand traffic, Porsche Bikes are
shipped such that the right brake lever controls the
front bike brake and the left brake lever the rear wheel
brake. Determine the location of the front and rear
wheel brake levers. Hydraulic disc brakes are very effective and it is easy
to overestimate how much pressure is needed to
activate them. For this reason, you should test their
effectiveness on a level, non-slip track that is removed
from road traffic. Please read the chapter “Brakes”
on p. 32 carefully.
Sudden braking. Accidentally applying the front
wheel brake may cause a crash. Familiarise yourself
with the location of the front and rear wheel brake
levers.
Impaired braking or brake failure. Defective or
broken brakes may cause serious accidents. Check
the function of the brakes each time before using
the bike.

PLEASE NOTE
For this reason, you should be absolutely sure to
inspect your bike each time before using it.
Loose components. If quick releases are not closed
securely, components may loosen and cause a crash.
Check to make sure all quick releases are secure and
if necessary, clamp them tight.
