3.1 Checking Points Before Riding
Before you ride your electric bicycle at any time, make sure it is in a safe
operating condition. Particular check the following items:
• Electric bicycles nuts, bolts, quick-release and parts are fastened tight
and no worn or damage;
• Riding position is comfortable; Steering is free with no excessive play;
• Wheels run true and hub bearings are correctly adjusted;
• Wheels are properly secured and locked to frame/fork; Tires
• are in good condition and inflated to correct pressure Pedals
• are securely tightened to pedal cranks
• Gears are correctly adjusted
• All reflectors are in position
After you have made any adjustment to your electric bicycle, check that all
nuts and bolts are securely tightened and cables are free from kinks and
fixed securely to the electric bicycles frame. Every six months, your
electric bicycle should be professionally checked to ensure that it is in
correct and safe working order. It is the responsibility of the rider to ensure
all parts are in working order prior to riding this electric bicycle.
3.2 Do Not When Riding
• Do not ride without wearing an approved helmet, which must meet
European/USA standard or the same effect (comply with the law, rule
or regulations in your local area);
• Do not ride on the same side of road as oncoming traffic;
• Do not carry a passenger unless the cycle is equipped to do so;
• Do not hang items over the handlebars to impede steering or catch in
the front wheel;
• Do not hold on to another vehicle with another hand; Do not ride too
close to another vehicle.
Warning of Wet Weather Riding: No brakes work as well under wet or
icy conditions as they do under dry conditions. The braking distance in
wet weather would be longer than those in dry, and you should take
special precautions to assure safe stopping. Ride slowlier than normal
and apply your brakes well in advance of anticipated stops.
