FIVE THINGS YOU NEED 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 right away, but we recommend taking
it nice and easy the rst few rides. Start on the low assist setting and learn the
feel of free speed.
2. Brake sooner
E-bikes are heavier than normal bikes, and they move faster. More power, more speed,
and more weight mean 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.
3. A faster bike gets stronger brakes
We put the latest brake technology on your e-bike, and it works really well —
maybe even better than you expect. 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.
4. 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. Until everyone is accustomed to the
look and speed of e-bikes, ride with extra care and pay greater attention to your
surroundings.
5. All bike rules still apply
While your new e-bike will bring you a new level of freedom and fun, you’re still
responsible 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!
