A few things to know about riding your new e-bike
1. Start slow
We know – fast is fun. But e-bikes take a bit of getting used to. It may be tempting to
ramp your e-bike up to the fastest setting straight away, but we recommend taking
it nice and easy the rst few rides. Start on the lowest assist setting and learn the
feeling of pedal assistance.
2. Brake sooner
E-bikes are heavier than normal bikes and they move faster. More power, more
speed and more weight. Once you get moving, you’ll need more time to react, so you
should start slowing down sooner on your e-bike than you would on a normal bike.
When you’re getting used to your new e-bike, start braking with a lighter hand and a
gradual pull of the brake levers. And never grab just your front brake lever – brake
with both front and rear evenly.
3. You’re faster than you look
E-bikes look just like regular bikes, so drivers and pedestrians might not expect
you to be riding as fast as your e-bike allows. Ride with extra care and pay greater
attention to your surroundings.
4. All bike rules still apply
While your new e-bike will bring you a new level of freedom and fun, you’re still re-
sponsible for knowing and following all the rules of the road, paths, and trails in your
area. Have fun out there, but with greater speed, there is greater responsibility!
