1.4 Brake Safety:
Regularly check your brakes for signs of wear and tear and functionality such as a reduction in
breaking power. Before every ride, quickly test your brakes by walking next to the e-bike and engaging the
brakes assuring they are properly working. Visibly check your brakes to ensure there is no damage such as
cracks and breaks. Failure to do so could cause death, serious personal injury, and/or property damage.
Any worn parts must be repaired or replaced immediately. Be careful while getting used to the brakes. Never
brake with only your front brake. Practice emergency stops in a place clear of traffic until you are
comfortable controlling your e-bike. Wet weather reduces your braking power and the grip of the brakes.
Reduce your speed and be aware of longer stopping distances when cycling in wet conditions. Braking on
unpaved surfaces will differ. Be sure to practice braking on different surface types. Ensure that braking
surfaces and brake pads are free of wax, grease and oil. Do not pedal and brake at the same time as this
will cause excessive wear.
1.5 Maintenance:
Make sure all screws, nuts and bolts are tightened securely before riding. Failure to do so could cause
death, serious personal injury, and/or property damage. Many parts on your e-bike are subject to a higher
degree of wear due to their function and depending on their use such as brakes, tires, pedals etc. Have your
e-bike checked regularly at a professional bike shop and have any worn parts replaced. Depending on the
level and extent of use, regularly can mean as much as once a week, and as little as twice a year. It is the
rider’s/owner’s responsibility to ensure the e-bike is safe to ride at all times.
Ensure the battery is removed from the bike before carrying out any maintenance. You must always use
genuine replacement parts when performing maintenance on your e-bike. Regularly check the tire pressures
(See sidewall of your tire for correct psi range) and regularly check the tread depth of tires.
After an accident or crash you must take your e-bike to a bike repair specialist to make sure that it is
safe to ride. Be aware that damage may not be visible. Failure to do so could cause death, serious personal
injury, property damage and/or a violation of the law.
Any form of crack, scratches or change of coloring in highly stressed areas indicate that the life expectancy
of the part has been reached and it should be replaced immediately.
1.6 Additional Warnings:
Routine maintenance checks are required on your e-bike. Check all important connections, brake
functionality, and ensure axle nuts are secured before riding. Failure to do so could cause death, serious
personal injury, and/or property damage.
