SAFE STARTING & STOPPING
Remember that if pedal assist is turned on, the motor will turn on and
begin to push you forward anytime the pedals rotate (even if you rotate
the pedals unintentionally.) This could be unsafe if you weren't expecting
the motor to turn on.
To prevent accidentally engaging the motor on your e-bike, you
should turn off pedal assist (by setting the display to level zero) when
you are not using it.
The motor interrupt brake levers on Kasen e-bikes stop the motor from
running when they are squeezed. This adds an additional measure of
safety - when you are sitting on the bike but not moving (for example,
when stopped at a stoplight), get into the habit of squeezing the brake
levers. This habit stops you from accidentally engaging the motor.
Release the brake levers when you begin riding and intend to use pedal
assist again.
The motor interrupt brake levers can also control your speed in areas
where pedal assist is not desired. For example, if you are riding at slow
speed through a pedestrian mall, you can pedal to propel the bike
forward while simultaneously lightly dragging the brakes. This allows you
to ride without the motor turning on at all.
To prevent accidentally engaging the motor when you're done riding
your bike, power it off. Never leave your e-bike powered on when
parking, hanging from a hook in the garage, or while loading your e-bike
onto a car or truck rack for transport.
If your e-bike ever needs repairs or maintenance (for example: to fix a
flat tire), always completely power down the e-bike before starting work.
