Congratulations on the purchase of your new Specialized Turbo bicycle! Before we get you set up for your first ride, a few words about electric bicycles.
As the name suggests, and unlike regular bicycles, Specialized electric bicycles have very sophisticated and carefully engineered high-precision
electrical components, including a built-in custom motor drive unit, a high-performance battery integrated into the frame, sensors, one or more display
units, and wiring throughout to make sure everything is connected. You will also have a unique riding experience with added speed and acceleration
from the motor support. Because of this, you need to treat your electric bicycle differently from a regular bicycle and you need to be careful not to
damage electrical components. This means you should not expose any electrical components to water (e.g., do not pressure-wash your bicycle), drop or
otherwise damage your battery, touch any live components, or open up or otherwise tamper with electrical components. This also means you should be
mindful your lithium-ion battery, when sufficiently charged, has enough energy stored to potentially start a fire and follow the instructions in this manual
when it comes to charging, transporting, cleaning, or storing your battery.
Not following these instructions may have serious consequences and can result in a fire, which may injure you and other people. Be sure you read this
manual in its entirety and call us if you have any questions.
WARNING! Please read and familiarise yourself with the Important Safety Instructions pertaining to the risk of fire or electric shock in section
10.1 of this User Manual before riding or servicing your bicycle.
WARNING! Be careful not to damage or expose electrical components to water. Do not pressure wash your battery, motor, or any other
electrical components. Damaging electrical components or exposing them to water may start a fire which can result in serious injury or even
death.
WARNING! Always be present when charging your battery and disconnect it when it is fully charged. Do not leave your battery plugged in or let
it charge overnight. Immediately disconnect the battery from the charger when you encounter any problem during the charging process, e.g.,
when the charger or battery get extremely hot or when the LED lights signal a problem. Failure to follow this warning can start a fire which
can result in serious injury or even death.
