SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Follow these essential safety precautions to reduce your risk of harm when riding your eBike.
GEAR UP
1. Always wear a helmet when riding your eBike to reduce the risk of head injury in an accident.
2. Make sure your helmet ts you properly and meets the required safety standards.
3. Dress appropriately. Loose clothing or accessories can get caught in your wheels or other
moving parts and cause you to fall (e.g. pants leg in the chainring).
4. Make sure all loose straps & accessories are secured (backpack, tie-down, bungee cord, panniers, etc).
5. On an eBike, the unique up and down pedaling motion is what makes you recognizable on the road.
At night, highlight your feet, ankles, and legs with products that feature reective material.
6. When on the road use front and rear lights, day and night.
7. Make sure your reectors are clean and properly positioned.
WARNING: Reectors, which function only when light shines on them, are not a substitute for lights.
Riding in dark conditions or at times of poor visibility without adequate lighting is extremely hazardous.
RIDE SMART
1. Know your skill level and do not ride above it.
2. Do not ride distracted. Using a mobile phone, music player, or other devices while riding can lead
to an accident.
3. Do not ride too fast. Higher speed creates higher risk, and results in higher forces if a crash occurs
(you may be surprised at the power of your Bakcou eBike).
4. Do not ride hands-free. Always keep at least one hand on the handlebar.
5. Do not ride while intoxicated or while using medications that can make you drowsy or less attentive.
6. Always obey all laws, rules and/or regulations regarding the use of electric assisted bicycles.
