Riding Instructions
This guide assumes that you already know how to ride a standard bicycle. Before you try to
ride an ebike, you should be very familiar with controlling and balancing a normal bicycle.
Caution
If you do not have cycling experience, an e-bike is too dangerous to ride. Do not begin
learning to ride a bicycle using an e-bike.
Important Notes
• Ebikes are Fast! E-bikes are capable of traveling at higher speeds than many bicy-
cle riders are accustomed to. Use caution at all times, especially when travelling
in mixed tra c. Always take into account driving and traveling conditions.
• Obey the Law. Be sure to follow all provincial and city tra c laws. This includes
obeying stop signs, checking carefully when turning, and riding defensively. An
e-bike is a motorized vehicle, even though it is classed as a bicycle. You must fol-
low the law.
• Stay Sober. Never ride your bicycle while intoxicated. An e-bike is capable of trav-
eling faster than a normal bicycle, and you should always be in control of it.
Items to Carry with the Electric Bike
It is a good idea to carry the following items with you at all times when you ride your e-bike.
• The charger, to charge the bike in case the battery power runs out
• A lock, to secure your e-bike when you park it
• A helmet, as required by safety laws
