SAFETY NOTES
What should I be aware of when riding?
Be certain the bike is in proper operating
condition before you start. Understand
your own riding behavior and ability to
avoid dangerous situations:
WARNING
Before you ride off, hold the handlebar
straight.
While getting use to your Flluid ride off
with pedal power only and only switch
on the motor once you are moving!
- Familiarize yourself with your bike.
- Always follow the trafc rules.
- Do not use off road.
- Do not drive in the blind spot of other ve-
hicles.
- Use proper signals to indicate you want to
turn.
- Remember that the mobility of bicycles
can surprise operators of other vehicles
and result in them causing a hazard to the
bicycle rider.
- Drive defensively and adapted to the condi-
tions.
- Reaction time can be affected not only by
alcohol but also by drugs and medications.
Never ride in an impaired state
- Hold the handlebar with both hand. Only
then can you respond to sudden emergen-
cies such roadway obstacles and respond
safely.
- On sandy ground, leaves and wet roads,
the tires do not have as much grip as on
dry asphalt. Take this into account when
cornering and braking so as not to slip
and fall. Also consider the longer braking
distance.
- Begin braking sooner on inclines.
Many accidents happen because cyclists
are not recognized in time. It is recommended
to wear bright and eye-catching clothing. Make
sure that you do not wear loose clothing that
can be caught on the belt drive, handlebars,
pedals or in the wheels. It is recommended
(and in some cases required) you to always
wear a helmet. Make sure your helmet com-
plies with DOT safety standards. Wear bicycle
goggles to protect your eyes.
