Yo
u should have your bicycle and its components checked periodically by your dealer for
ind
icators of stress and/or potential failure, including cracks, deformation, corrosion, paint
peeling, dents, and any other indicators of potential problems, inappropriate use or abuse. These
are important safety checks and very important to help prevent accidents, bodily injury to the
rider and shortened product life.
YOUR FORM
E E-BIKE IS INTENDED:
Forme e-bikes are designed for exclusive use on smooth paved roads, gravel or dirt roads that
are in good condition, and bike paths only.
YOUR FORM
E E-BIKE IS NOT INTENDED:
For any kind of off-road, mountain bike, cyclocross, touring or any kind of jumping.
We cannot teach you everything you need to know to properly inspect and service your bicycle;
and that is why we repeatedly urge you to take your bicycle to your dealer for professional care
and attention.
Warning: Frequent inspection of your bike is important to your safety. Follow the Mechanical
Safety Check of this Manual before every ride.
Periodic, more detailed inspection of your bicycle is important. How often this more detailed
inspection is needed depends upon you. You, the rider/owner, have control and knowledge of
how often you use your bike, how hard you use it and where you use it. Because your dealer
cannot track your use, you must take responsibility for periodically bringing your bike to your
dealer for inspection and service. Your dealer will help you decide what frequency of inspection
and service is appropriate for how and where you use your bike.
Any impact can weaken your e-bike
If you have a major impact, inspect your bicycle thoroughly and repair any damage before you
ride it again. A major impact is anything that causes you to fall from your bike. If you are not sure
how to do a thorough inspection, take your bicycle to your dealer for service. A minor impact,
where you hit an obstacle without falling from your bike, can still place high stresses on your
bicycle. If, after a minor impact, your bicycle behaves in an unusual manner or you hear an
unusual noise, immediately stop the bicycle and identify the problem. Always inspect the bicycle
thoroughly and repair any problem before riding the bicycle again
Warning: Do not ride a bicycle or component with any crack, bulge or dent, even a small one.
Riding a cracked frame, fork or component could lead to complete failure, with risk of serious
injury or death.

any bye-laws that are applicable where you cycle. Watch for –and avoid- potholes, drain grates,
kerb stones and other deviations that could impact on your wheels or cause them to lose
