Important Notices, Helmets & Reectors (Safety)
Please read and understand these instructions completely before operating your E-bike to prevent serious injury to
yourself and others, and to prevent damage to the bike.
IMPORTANT NOTICES
• Always recharge the battery immediately after each use. Failure to do so may damage the battery.
• The charger can remain plugged-in for trickle-charge purposes during long periods of storage.
• For storage periods over 1 month, the battery should be checked and fully recharged before riding.
Helmets
Always wear a properly tted helmet which is comfortable, lightweight, has good ventilation and covers the forehead when
riding a bicycle.
It’s strongly advised that a properly tted bicycle safety helmet be worn at all times when riding your bicycle.
Reectors
Reectors are important safety devices which are designed as an intergral part of your bicycle. UK regulations require
every bicycle to be equipped with front, rear wheels and pedal reectors. These reectors are designed to pick up and
reect street lights as well as car lights in a way that helps you to be seen and recognised as a moving cyclist. Reectors
and their mounting brackets must be checked regularly to make sure they are clean, straight, unbroken and securely
mounted. Replace damaged reectors and straighten or tighten any that are bent or loose.
Your bicycle is supplied with one front reector, one rear wheel reector, and four pedal reectors. These are important
safety and legal requirements, and should remain securely tted in good, clean condition at all times. Periodically inspect
all reectors, brackets and mounting hardware for signs of wear or damage. Replace immediately if damange is found.
Some bicycles will require you to install your reectors onto your bicycle.
