4.3 SEASONS

Your 

VOLTBIKE

 has a minimum and maximum operating

 

tempera

-

ture, restricting the bicycle from operating in certain seasons, such as 
late fall, winter, and early spring.  Depending on the climate of your 
geographical area of resident, the temperatures in those times of the 
year can drop below the minimum operational temperatures, 
restricting you from operating your 

VOLTBIKE

.  Your 

VOLTBIKE

 is 

designed to operate at peak efficiency from -5°C to 40°C.  Never 
operate your bicycle in excess of 40°C and -10°C.

4.4 ROAD CONDITIONS

Your 

VOLTBIKE

 is designed for certain road conditions, which will 

depend on the current season and range of temperatures.  Your 

VOLTBIKE

 is designed to be ridden on dry tarmac, having enough 

grip to handle well on tarmac covered with light gravel.

CAUTION!

Tarmac roads covered with heavy gravel, or entirely consisting of gravel, must not 

be ridden on.  Doing so will put your safety and your VOLTBIKE at risk.

CAUTION!

Your VOLTBIKE must not be operated on snow or winter salt covered roads.  Salt 

and frigid temperatures are harmful to the circuits inside of your VOLTBIKE and 

must be avoided.

4.4.1 RIDING OVER OBSTACLES

Your 

VOLTBIKE

  is  designed  to  have  sufficient  ground  clearance  for 

normal  use.    Avoid  large  obstacles  as  often  as  possible  or  provide 
support with your legs when riding over large objects.

CAUTION!

Avoid extremely steep slopes as this may severely damage the bottom of 

your VOLTBIKE.

4.4.2 RIDING DOWNHILL

Your 

VOLTBIKE

  is  equipped  with  a  PRS  (Power  Regeneration 

System), which uses an alternator to convert energy generated from 

coasting to electric energy.  Never speed downhill and always keep
