INFORMATION
An electric bicycle can be a great way to access terrain that may be impossible by any
other means. It can also be dangerous, especially if you ride terrain above your ability
level or beyond the capability of the bike itself. If you are headed into the backcountry, be
prepared. QuietKat recommends bringing a bike-specific multi-tool that includes various
hex wrenches, screwdrivers, and a bicycle chain tool. Bring water, food and clothing
appropriate for the season and the environment. A dry trail with good traction may turn
impassible with a little rain, meaning you will need to walk the bike. Always practice
proper backcountry safety protocols.
The bicycle will not protect you in an accident. There are no seat belts or air bags, and
therefore a crash even at low speeds can result in injury or death. If you are in an
accident, inspect the bike thoroughly before continuing with your ride. If you aren’t
sure, do not ride the bike; take it to a professional bicycle mechanic or repair shop for a
professional inspection.
If you experience any mechanical problems while on a ride, immediately turn o the electric
power and remove battery prior to attempting any repairs. Repairs include anything such as
putting the chain back on, adjusting brakes, or adjusting accessories. Attempting to replace
or re-engage the chain while the power is on could result in serious injury or death.
Secure all cargo, and ensure loose straps are secured to avoid interference with the moving
parts on the bike. Be aware of loose clothing, especially on the drive side (Right Side) of
the bicycle, as to avoid interference between your clothes and the drivetrain. Be sure the
wheels spin freely and there is nothing that could get caught in the spokes or prevent the
wheels from turning freely. If you get a piece of clothing or equipment caught in the front
chainring, first turn the power o. The chainring is not on a freewheel system and won’t go
backwards like a typical bike. You may need to be prepared to cut or remove clothing that
gets caught in the drivetrain in order to remove it from the system.
QuietKat electric bicycles use lithium-ion battery technology which require some care and
maintenance. Please refer to the Battery Care section of this manual for important safety
and care information for the battery.
The QuietKat bike is a fun and exciting ride! Always be aware of your surroundings and your
environment. Be cautious of other riders and pedestrians. Always stay in control and within
your ability.
