◆ While Riding
Always wear an approved bicycle helmet whenever using this product and ensure
that all helmet manufacturer instructions are used for fit and care of your helmet.
Failure to wear a helmet when riding may result in serious injury or death.
Acceleration can be unexpectedly strong in pedal assist mode (Pedal Assist level
1-5), as when you pedal the motor assist will suddenly engage. Therefore, please pay
careful attention when riding. We suggest you use Pedal Only Mode (Pedal Assist
level 0) when you need to ride at a slow speed to cross roads, at intersections, or
when pedestrian traffic is present, in order to avoid accidents caused by sudden
acceleration.
Make sure you securely close the front wheel axle, checking the wheel balance in
Pedal Only Mode. If you notice the riding feels imbalanced, or the rotation of the front
wheel makes noise, it likely means the bolts were not completely tightened or didn’t
align horizontally in the center.
Off-road riding requires close attention and specific skills, and presents variable
conditions and hazards which accompany the conditions.
Wear appropriate safety gear and do not ride alone in remote areas.
Shift gears regularly to stay in a optimal cadence range and downshift before coming
to a stop. Reduce pedal force before initiating a gear shift to reduce drivetrain wear.
Always turn the light up while riding at the night and always check all reflectors fixed
well on the bicycle.
