the connection of the handlebar, try to
twist it in the stem. The handlebar should
not move or be loose. Make sure that
no cables are pulled or caught on the
bicycle when you turn the handlebar.
If the handlebar or stem is loose to
turn, bring the bike to a local dealer for
inspection.
Saddle and Seatpost
Make sure the saddle is correctly
attached and the minimum insertion
line on the seatpost is not showing.
Try to turn the saddle and seatpost in
the frame, and try to move the front of
the saddle up and down. The saddle
should not move or be loose. If the
saddle is loose try adjusting it using the
instructions on pages 32 & 51.
Suspension
On select models, adjust your
suspension for your use, and make
sure that no suspension component can
“bottom-out”, or be fully compressed
while riding. Refer to the enclosed
supplementary manual for the
suspension fork equipped on your bike.
Quick Releases
Check that all quick releases (front
wheel, frame, seatpost, rear wheel,
stem) are fastened. Nothing should rattle
or be loose.
Lights & Reectors
Make sure lights operate correctly and
are turned on. Make sure all reectors
are clean and in their correct position.
BEFORE EVERY RIDE CONTINUED
Your Montague e-bike comes equipped
with front and rear lights powered from
the main e-bike battery. For additional
information regarding operation, please
refer to the supplemental drive system
manual.
General
Check to make sure nothing seems
loose or rattles. Check that both pedals
are properly threaded into the crank arm.
Without correct lights and reectors,
it will not be easy for you to see or for
other people to see you. If you cannot
see, or other people cannot see you,
you could have an accident. Use a
front light, a rear light, and reectors
when you ride in low visibility
conditions.
