o When riding obey the same road laws as all other road vehicles. Including giving way to
pedestrians and stopping at red lights and stop signs.
o For additional information, contact the road traffic authority, police department or Department
of Motor Vehicles in your state.
o Ride predictably and in a straight line. Never ride against traffic.
o Use correct hand signals to indicate turning or stopping.
o Ride defensively. To other road users you may be hard to see.
o Concentrate on the path ahead. Avoid potholes, gravel, wet or oily roads, curbs, train tracks,
speed bumps, drain gates, and other obstacles.
o Cross train tracks at a 90 degree angle or walk your bicycle across.
o Expect the unexpected such as opening car doors or cars backing out of driveways.
o Be careful at intersections and when preparing to pass other vehicles or other cyclists.
Familiarize yourself with all the bicycles features. Practice shifting gears, using the brakes and
power system.
o If you are wearing loose pants, secure the bottom using leg clips or elastic bands to prevent
them from being caught in the chain or gears. Wear proper riding clothes and avoid wearing
open toe shoes.
o Don’t carry passengers or cargo that will interfere with your ability to control the bicycle. Don’t
use items that may restrict your hearing.
o Do not lock up the brakes. When braking, apply the rear brake first, then the front brake. The
front brake is more powerful and if it is not correctly applied, you may lose control and fall.
o Maintain a comfortable stopping distance from all other objects, riders, and vehicles. Safe
braking distances are based on forces such as weather and light conditions among other
variables.

This hybrid electric bicycle is not meant for use in puddles, heavy rain, and streams. Never immerse this

safety lights. Road hazards are more difficult to see when wet, proceed with caution.
