c. General warning
Like any sport, bicycling involves the risk of injury and damage. By choosing to ride a bicycle, you assume the responsibility for
that risk, so you need to know — and to practice — the rules of safe and responsible riding and of proper use and
maintenance. Proper use and maintenance of your bicycle reduces risk of injury.
This Manual contains many “Warnings” and “Cautions” concerning the consequences of failure to maintain or inspect
your bicycle and of failure to follow safe cycling practices.
WARNING: This image followed by the word WARNING indicates a potentially hazardous situation that, if not
avoided, could result in serious injury or death.
CAUTION: This image followed by the word CAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous situation, which, if not
avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury, serious, damage to the bicycle or the voiding of your warranty or is
an alert against unsafe practices.
Many of the Warnings and Cautions say, “you may lose control and fall”. Because any fall can result in serious injury or
even death, we do not always repeat the warning of possible injury or death. Because it is impossible to anticipate
every situation or condition that can occur while riding, this Manual makes no representation about the safe use of
the bicycle under all conditions. There are risks associated with the use of any bicycle which cannot be predicted or
avoided, and which are the sole responsibility of the rider.
d. A special note to parents
The Prodeco Technologies G Plus Storm is intended for use by adult riders only. Many state laws require electric bicycle riders
to be a minimum age of 16 with some states having minimum ages set as low as 10 years old and other states up to 18
years old (at the time of the writing of this manual). As a parent or guardian, you are responsible for the activities and safety
of your minor child including the following of your state and local laws in regards to the riding of an electric bicycle by a minor
(under the age of 18). That includes, if your state allows a minor to ride, making sure that your minor child can safely ride and
control all of the operations of the bicycle, and fully understands all warnings and cautions as indicated in this User Guide.
Please read on if you have determined that your minor child can legally and safely ride and control all of the operations of the
bicycle. That includes making sure that the bicycle is properly fitted to the child; that it is in good repair and safe operating
condition; that you and your child have learned and understand the safe operation of the bicycle; and that you and your child
have learned, understand and obey not only the applicable local motor vehicle, bicycle and traffic laws, but also the common
sense rules of safe and responsible bicycling. As a parent or guardian, you should read and understand this manual.
Before letting any child ride the G Plus Storm or any of Prodeco Technologies electric bicycles, review with them all warnings
and cautions; as well as the information on the proper usage of your battery pack, charger and bicycle. You must first
confirm the laws, rules and regulations regarding electric bicycles in your state, city and local municipality.
WARNING: Make sure that your child always wears an approved bicycle helmet when riding; but also make
sure that your child understands that a bicycle helmet is for bicycling only, and must be removed when not riding. A
helmet must not be worn while playing, in play areas, on playground equipment, while climbing trees, or at any time
while not riding a bicycle. Failure to follow this warning could result in serious injury or death.
Chapter 2: Getting Started
CAUTION: If you have purchased the bicycle by mail order or through a sales channel whereas your
new G Plus Storm is still in the box, it is recommended you read Chapter 3 “Basic Instructions” section g
“Before your first ride” prior to your first ride. There may be additional adjustments required due to harsh
shipping by the freight carrier.
a. Unpacking your box
Your G Plus Storm arrives fully assembled in it’s box other than need for the insertion of the seat post and
handlebar stem. You can learn on how to insert the seat post and adjust for your height in Chapter 3 “Basic
Instructions” section b “Adjusting the saddle”. The insertion of the stem and tightening of the stem bolt is detailed on
Chapter 3 “Basic Instructions’ section c “Installing and adjusting the stem”.
The G Plus Storm has been fully tested and adjusted prior to being packed in the Heavy Duty double wall box with
expanding foam fitting system. To remove the G Plus Storm from it’s box, simply remove the top layer of expanded
foam (wrapped in a thin film) and place one hand under the front portion of the frame and the other hand under the
center of the frame. Pull up slowly and the bicycle will lift out of the box. Remove the bottom layer of expanded
foam (if attached to bicycle) and set the bicycle down by balancing the bicycle on the opened kick stand and both
wheels. The kick stand also performs as a crankset protector. To unfold the bicycle, read the following paragraph,
section b.
