Important safety information
Read this important safety information before riding your bicycle.
Safety for you
A bicycle can’t protect you in an accident.
The most common cause of injury on a
bicycle is falling. In a crash or impact, it is
not uncommon for your bicycle to sustain
damage and for you to fall. Cars have
bumpers, air bags, and crumple zones.
Bicycles do not. If you fall, your bicycle
may not prevent injury.
If you are involved in any kind of impact or
crash, check yourself and any passengers
thoroughly for injuries. Then have your
bicycle thoroughly inspected by your bike
shop before you ride it again.
Know your limits
A bicycle can be dangerous, especially if
you try to ride beyond the limits of your
ability. Know your skill level and don’t ride
beyond it.
Handle with care
Some parts of your bicycle can injure you
if mishandled. There are sharp points, for
example, on the teeth of the chainrings
and some pedals. Brakes and their parts
get hot. Rotating wheels can cut skin and
even break bones. Clamps and pivoting
parts such as brake levers can pinch,
as can the chain/belt where it runs onto
sprocket teeth.
E-bike components are especially de-
signed for normal use as described in this
manual and the comprehensive e-bike
manual. Electric cables, connectors,
battery dock, battery, and the remote can
be damaged if handled incorrectly.
