Check crtcal safety equpment before each and every rde.
Know the Law
Cyclsts are requred to follow traffic rules. Addtonally, some
communtes regulate the use of motorzed bcycles regardng mnmum
age requrements and necessary equpment. Check wth your local polce
department for specfic detals.
Correct Frame Sze
When selectng a new E-BIKE, the proper frame sze s a very mportant
safety consderaton. Most full szed bcycles come n a range of frame
szes. These szes usually refer to the dstance between the center of the
bottom bracket and the top of the frame seat tube.
For safe and comfortable rdng there should be a clearance of no less
than 1-2 nches between the gron area of the ntended rder and the top
tube of the bcycle frame, whle the rder straddles the bcycle wth both
feet flat on the ground.
The deal clearance wll vary between types of bcycles and rder
preference. Ths makes straddlng the frame when off the seat easer and
safer n stuatons such as sudden traffic stops. Women can use a men’s
style bcycle to determne the correct sze.
