Stopping
Always maintain a safe distance between
you and other road users or objects to
ensure sufficient stopping distance. Adjust
distances and braking force to suit riding
conditions. For the most effective and
safe braking, apply your brakes evenly
and smoothly. Always keep your eyes on
the road or trail ahead and adjust your
speed in advance to avoid hard braking.
Hand brakes
The front brake provides more stopping
power than the rear brake, so do not
use it too forcefully or too abruptly.
Gradually add pressure to both brakes
until you slow to the desired speed or
stop. If you must stop quickly, shift your
weight back as you apply the brakes to
keep the rear wheel on the ground.
! WARNING: Brake force applied to the front
wheel suddenly or too fully could lift the rear
wheel off the ground or cause the front wheel
to slide out from under you. This could cause
a decrease in control and result in a fall.
Shifting gears
The gears on your bicycle allow you to
pedal comfortably in different conditions
— like riding up a hill, pedaling into a
headwind, or riding fast on flat terrain.
Select the gear that is most comfortable
for the conditions; a gear that lets you
pedal at a constant and efficient rate.
The rear derailleur moves your chain
from one gear to another. You shift gears
by pressing the handlebar mounted
shifter which controls the derailleur.
Shift gears only when the pedals
and chain are moving forward.
Know before you ride
The rechargeable battery of your eBike must be charged before you set off for the
first time. Before you set off, check that your battery is fully charged.
