Dawes Cycles ARC - Important Safety Information

4
Your E-Bike can provide many years of service, fun and tness, if you take good care of it.
Understand the features of your E-Bike and become aware of the challenges that you will meet on the road. There are
many things you can do to protect yourself while riding. We will o󰀨er many recommendations and safety tips throughout
this manual. The following are those we believe to be the most important.
Always Wear A Helmet!
Helmets signicantly reduce the possibility and severity of head injuries. Always wear a helmet that complies with
BS EN 1078:1997. Do not wear loose clothing that can become tangled in the moving parts of the E-Bike. Wear sturdy
shoes and eye protection.
Know your E-Bike!
Your new E-Bike incorporates many features and functions that have never been built into a bicycle before. Read this
manual thoroughly to understand how those features enhance your riding pleasure and safety.
Ride Defensively!
One of the most common cycling accidents is that when the driver of a parked car opens his door into a rider’s path.
Another common occurrence is when a car or another cyclist moves suddenly into your path. Always be aware of other
vehicles around you. Do not assume that the driver or the other cyclist see you. Get prepared to take evasive action or
stop suddenly.
Make Yourself Easy To See!
Make yourself more visible by wearing bright reective clothing. Keep your reectors clean and properly aligned. Signal
your intentions so that drivers and other cyclists can notice your actions.
