WARNING: Reectors, which function
only when light shines on them, are not a
substitute for lights. Riding in dark condi-
tions or at times of poor visibility without
adequate lighting is extremely hazardous.
Ride smart
Know your skill level and do not ride above
it.
• Do not ride distracted. Using a mobile
phone, music player, or similar device
while riding can lead to an accident.
• Do not ride too fast. Higher speed cre-
ates higher risk, and results in higher
forces if a crash occurs. You may be
surprised at the power of an e-bike.
• Cargo and passenger weight affect
cornering and speed. Braking distances
and the time to come to a stop may be
increased.
• Do not ride hands-free. Always keep at
least one hand on the handlebar.
• Do not ride while intoxicated or while
using medications that can make you
drowsy or less attentive.
• Be cautious if riding with a large group.
Riding close to other riders reduces
visibility with the road and can cause
you to lose control of your bicycle.
• Do not ride in a manner not specied
for your bicycle type (see Safety for the
bike on page 1-13).
Be aware that other road users may not
expect that an e-bike can ride faster than
a normal bike. Riding faster may also
increase the risk of an accident.
