Safety and Disclaimer
2/ Safety and Disclaimer
• Do not ride too fast. Higher speed
creates higher risk, and results in higher
forces if a crash occurs. You may be
surprised at the power of an eBike.
• When riding the Ford Bronco
®
eBike,
keep both hands on the handlebar grips
and the brake levers within reach at all
time in order to be able to immediately
respond to any circumstances. Failure to
hold the handlebars whilst riding may
cause a loss of control over the bicycle.
• Do not ride while intoxicated or while
using medications that can make
you drowsy or less attentive.
Different riding conditions
A bicycle can be dangerous, especially
if you try to ride beyond the limits
of your ability. Know your skill
level and don’t ride beyond it.
Take extra precautions when you ride in
wet or snowy weather, because the grip
of your tires is greatly reduced. Braking
distances increase in wet weather. Apply
your brakes earlier and use extra caution
than when riding in dry conditions.
Riding a bike at night is much more
dangerous than during the day. If you
choose to ride under conditions of poor
visibility, be sure you comply with all local
laws about night riding. Ensure all reflectors
and front and rear light are clean, clearly
visible and functioning correctly. Ride with
greater caution, avoid traffic, road hazards
and if possible, ride familiar routes.
Liability and waivers
It’s always important to ride safely, no
matter your skill or experience level.
Helmet
Always wear a fully certified and approved
helmet (as per local regulations) when
riding your eBike. Be sure to affix the
helmet properly using the chin strap and
follow the manufacturer’s instructions for
proper use. All operators and passengers
of electric bicycles shall wear a properly
fitted and fastened bicycle helmet that
meets the standards provided by either
the United States Consumer Product
Safety Commission or the American Society
for Testing and Materials, or standards
subsequently established by those entities.
Other safety equipment
It’s a good idea to wear appropriate
clothing when riding your eBike.
Avoid wearing loose clothing or accessories
that may get caught in your wheels or
other moving components. It’s also a
good idea to wear bright, fluorescent
and reflective clothing to increase
visibility to other trail and road users.
Ensure you use your front light and rear
light on all rides. Make sure that your
reflectors are clean and correctly positioned.
Trailers and carriers
Trailers, bicycle passenger seats and carriers
are not permitted on the Ford Bronco
®
eBike. The manufacturer will not assume
liability or provide guarantee for the use of
trailers, child seats and luggage carriers.
