Always Wear a Helmet!
Helmets sgnficantly reduce the possblty and severty of head njures.
Always wear a helmet that comples wth your state laws when rdng the
E-Bke.
Check wth your local polce department for requrements n your
communty.
Do not wear loose clothng that can become tangled n the movng parts of
the E-Bke. Wear sturdy shoes and eye protecton. Also check your state
laws concernng other protectve wear that may be requred when rdng
the E-Bke.
Know Your E-Bke!
Your new E-Bke ncorporates many features and functons that have
never been bult nto a bcycle before. Read ths manual thoroughly to
understand how those features enhance your rdng pleasure and safety.
Rde Defensvely!
One of the most common cyclng accdents s that when the drver of a
parked car opens hs door nto a rder’s path.
Another common occurrence s when a car or another cyclst moves
suddenly nto your path. Always be aware of other vehcles around you.
Do not assume that drvers or other cyclsts see you. Get prepared to take
evasve acton or stop suddenly.
Make Yourself Easy To See!
Make yourself more vsble by wearng brght reflectve clothng. Keep
your reflectors clean and properly algned. Sgnal your ntentons so other
drvers and other cyclsts can notce your actons.
Rde wthn Your Lmts!
Take t slow untl you are famlar wth condtons that you encounter. Be
especally careful n wet condtons as tracton can be greatly reduced and
brakes less effectve. Never rde faster than condtons warrant or beyond
your rdng abltes. Remember that alcohol, drugs, fatgue and
nattenton can sgnficantly reduce your ablty to make good judgments
and rde safely.
