STEP 13. Electric Bikes
Electric, or electric assist or “E-bikes” use most of the same standard bicycle components described in
this assembly section, so assembly procedures are the same.
What makes them more complex, heavier and costlier is the electric drive train, battery and controls.
For your safety and to optimize the performance of your bike, please find and read the separate electric
bike owner’s manual supplement included with your bike and on the website.
This document is your source for information on the use of controls, safety considerations and warnings
and the use and maintenance of electric drive train, battery. You have invested in such a bike, and we
urge you have it properly adjusted and set up and maintained by your local retailer.
WARNING
E-Bikes are faster and heavier than regular bikes. Failure to assemble, adjust or ride correctly could
lead to an accident, with risk of serious injury, paralysis or death.
Minimize these risks by:
1. Reading the electric bike owner’s supplement and E-Bike information of Part 2 of this manual.
2. Getting an full bike orientation including the bike and the drive system from a professional at a
local bike retailer.
3. Understanding that its easy to be surprised by the drive system and the power-assist capability.
So learn to ride and become familiar with the E-Bike by riding slowly and carefully in a low
hazard/low trafficked area.
