• NEVER ride on the same side of the road as oncoming trac.

catch in the front wheel causing a crash.
• NEVER hold on to another motor vehicle or bicycle.
• NEVER ride too close to another vehicle - keep your distance and awareness.
WARNING! Wet Weather Riding: Your bike’s brakes do not work as well
under wet or icy conditions as they do under dry conditions.The braking distance in
wet weather will be longer than that in dry conditions. Take special precautions in wet
weather to assure safe stopping. Ride slower than normal and apply your brakes well in
advance of anticipated stops.
WARNING! Night Riding: Do not ride at night. If you have to be on your e-bike at
night or in low-light conditions, always comply with laws and regulations (local and
otherwise) for bicycle lighting. Use approved headlights (white), taillights (red) properly
axed to your e-bike in addition to all-around reectors. For additional safety, wear
light colored clothing with reective stripes, or safety yellow or safety orange clothing.
Check that the reectors are rmly secured in the correct position and clean and not
obscured. Damaged reectors must be replaced immediately.
3. Routine Maintenance Check and Lubrication
WARNING! As with all mechanical components, your bicycle is subjected to
wear and stress. Dierent materials and components may react to wear or fatigue in
dierent ways. If the design life of a component has been exceeded it may suddenly
fail, possibly causing injuries to the rider. Any types of cracks, scratches, or change
of coloring in highly stressed areas indicate that the life of the component has been
reached and it should be replaced immediately. Always inspect your bicycle before
every ride.
WARNING! Use only genuine replacement parts, particularly for safety-critical
components, installed by a professional bicycle mechanic. To keep your electric
bicycle functioning well, the following routine maintenance lubrication is necessary.
