1. SAFETY INFORMATION
1.1 RIDING
• Do not pedal or move the bicycle while the battery charger is connected. If you do, it may cause the power
cable to become entangled in the pedals, which may damage the battery charger, the power cable and/or the
charging port.
• Do not ride the bicycle if there is a fault with the battery or any component of the pedal assistance system.
Otherwise you may lose control and suffer serious injury.
• Do not start moving with one foot on a pedal and the other on the ground and then start riding the bicycle
when you have reached a certain speed. Otherwise you may lose control and suffer serious injury.
You should only start moving when you are properly seated on the bicycle seat.
• Do not activate the throttle function if the rear wheel is not touching the ground. Otherwise, the wheel will
rotate in the air at high speed and may cause injury.
• Be sure to check the remaining battery capacity before riding at night. The light powered by the battery pack
will go off soon after the remaining battery capacity decreases to the point where riding with assisted power is
no longer possible. Riding without a light may increase the risk of injury.
• Do not modify or remove any parts of the pedal assistance system. Do not install non-original parts
or accessories. If you do, they may damage the product, cause a fault or increase the risk of being injured.
• When you stop, make sure that you apply the front and rear brakes and keep your feet on the ground. Leaving
one foot on a pedal when stationary could accidentally activate the assisted power function, which could
cause you to lose control and suffer serious injury.
