required for use on public roads. It also
has an appropriate brake system and a bell.

Depending on the country in which you use
your smart ebike, you may be required to
wear a helmet. Irrespective of any helmet
law, smart recommends that you always wear
a suitable helmet and goggles.
Wear conspicuous, bright clothing appro-
priate for cycling and shoes which are
suitable for the bike's pedals. When riding
in traffic, always be considerate and
observe the traffic rules and regulations
in order to avoid endangering yourself and

Inspection before starting a journey
Checking tyres and wheels
G
WARNING
If seated at an angle, valves may break off
while the ebike is in operation. If this
happens, the tyre will suddenly lose pres-
sure. There is a risk of an accident.
Check the seating of the valves. The valves
must extend from the wheel rim at right
angles. Correct the position of any incor-
rectly seated valves immediately.
Before every ride, check the following:
R
tyres and wheels for damage and foreign
bodies lodged in the tyres. Damaged
wheels can lead to a loss of pressure and
result in further damage.
R
tyre tread depth
R
true running of the wheels by allowing
both wheels to rotate freely. Out-of-
round wheels can be an indication of
tyres which have burst at the side, broken
axles or torn spokes. Also investigate
any rattling noises and check bearings
and bolted connections if necessary.
