GENERAL SAFETY
Riders should pay special attention to all general safety points below before
operating their 345. Neglecting these precautions may affect your warranty
and personal safety!
Road safety:
• When riding obey all laws applicable in your local area
• Ride predictably and smoothly with the ow of trafc. Never ride against the trafc
• Use hand signals to indicate turning and stopping
• Maintain a comfortable stopping distance from all other objects, riders, and vehicles.
Safe braking distances can change depending on the road surface, available light,
weather conditions and braking performance, among many other variables
• It is not recommended to ride in wet weather. Your 345 is not is not intended for use in
heavy rain, puddles, streams or rivers
• If riding in wet conditions, take extra care including reducing your speed and leaving
more space to slow down. Feet, hands and tyres can slip in wet conditions and lead
to serious injury and/or death
• Try to avoid potholes, gravel, wet or oily roads, wet leaves, kerbs, tram tracks, speed
bumps, drain grates, thorns, glass and other obstacles, hazards and puncture risks
• Avoid hard bumps, impacts and shocks because these may damage the electronics,
frame, wheels, tyres, battery, connectors or other components
• When riding on public roads at night, it is a legal requirement in the UK and many
other countries to have working front and rear lights and reectors
• If you note strange sounds or vibrations, please get your bike checked by a bike shop
• Maintain a comfortable stopping distance from all other objects
• Secure any loose clothing while riding to prevent it getting caught in any moving parts
• Do not carry passengers or cargo that will interfere with your ability to control the bike
• Squeezing a brake lever too hard or too fast can lead to unintended sudden stopping
and/or a tyre losing traction, increasing the chances of a crash or collision
• Make sure to test the braking power before heading into trafc. The 345’s disc brakes
may be much more powerful than the brakes you’ve used on other bikes
