Always carry a form of idencaon so others know who you
are in case of an accident.
Yield the right-of-way when pedestrians and animals are
present.
WET-WEATHER RIDING
!
WARNING
!
Avoid riding in wet weather if possible. Reduce your
speed if necessary to ride in wet weather. Wet weather
impairs visibility, braking and traction of the e-bike and
affects others sharing the road. Accidents increase in wet
weather conditions.
NIGHT RIDING
Night riding is far more dangerous than riding during the day.
Be sure to wear reecve clothing. Verify that you comply with
local laws about night riding.
Reectors are not a substute for required lights. Reectors
help others see you by picking up and reecng car lights and
streetlights. Be sure the reectors are in good condion before
riding at night. Do not remove the reectors from the e-bike.
!
WARNING
!
Be sure to use an adequate lighting system when riding at
night or at any other times of poor visibility. Riding at night
or at any other times of poor visibility without an adequate
lighting system and without reectors may result in death
or serious injury.
If necessary, equip the e-bike with an aermarket baery or
generator lighng system.
EXTREME AND AGGRESSIVE RIDING
!
WARNING
!
The e-bike design has limitations regarding strength
and integrity. Extreme, stunt and competition riding can
exceed those limitations. The manufacturer does not
recommend these types of riding. Also, extreme, stunt and
competition riding increases the risks of death and serious
injury.
If you choose to ride extremely and aggressively, at least:
• Take lessons from a competent instructor.
• Start easy and slowly develop your skills.
• Wear a full-face mask helmet and other safety equipment.
• Understand the stress imposed on the e-bike.
• Do not ride the e-bike if it is damaged.
• Most importantly, understand your skills and experience.
ELECTRIC BICYCLE SAFETY
• For maximum stability, avoid accelerang or braking
while turning.
• Avoid riding in extremely wet condions.
• Do not leave the e-bike in the rain.
SAFETY
• Disconnue the use of the e-bike if the baery pack is
damaged due to a crash or a drop.
• Always inspect your bike hardware and connecons aer
riding through dicult terrain.
• Do not ride up or down extremely steep inclines.
• Do not ride o-road or jump the e-bike.
• Always use the kickstand or center stand when not on
the bicycle.
• Do not exceed the carrying capacity.
• Do not ride on sand.
• The motor can get hot; do not touch the body of the motor
for at least 2 hours aer riding.
