2 // TO RIDE IN SAFETY...

... and have as much fun as possible!
If you have this notice in front of your eyes and your Moustache in your hands, that means it
has been prepared, checked and set up for your safety and pleasure by an approved retailer.
This is essential as your Moustache retailer has specific tools and the necessary training to
carry out set up and repairs.
Before getting on the saddle, we suggest that you read this notice and take into account the
advice contained in it. This will enable you to ride safely and to profit as much as possible from
your Moustache bike:
// Always wear an accredited helmet as well as appropriate equipment. Wearing a helmet
in France is a legal requirement for all children under 12 years of age whether they are
the rider or the passenger.
// Always carry out a complete check on your bike before riding (tightness of the handlebar,
the stem, the saddle, the wheels, the brakes.)
// Always respect the highway code in the country in which you are riding in order to not
put yourself in danger. Some countries have specific safety or equipment rules. Always
ensure you respect local laws.
// When on the road, make sure you are visible to drivers. In France, you are required
to install lights, signalization and an audible warning on your bike. When you ride on
public roads at night, outside of urban areas or when there is insufficient visibility, you
are obliged to wear a certified reflective jacket.
// An electric bike enables you to ride consistently at 25 km/h even when climbing. Be
careful, from experience we know that other users, drivers, cyclists, and walkers, are
not used to bikes going at such speeds. You should anticipate their reactions as far as
possible and slow as necessary.
// Take the time to get used to your new bike. The powerful disc brakes do not need a
strong pull on the lever to slow you down, get used to their behavior.
// An electric bike behaves slightly differently to a normal bike, notably it has faster
acceleration. A progressive usage and appropriate training will help you become used
to it.
// On some bikes, especially on small sizes, the wheel base is short and the front wheel
is close to the pedals. Therefore there is a risk of touching the wheel or mud guard with
your foot when you turn, especially at low speed (Figure2). Do not pedal when you turn
the handlebar at low speed. The level of risk depends on the size of your foot, the size
of the cranks, the pedals and even the tire. Any modification of components can change
this distance and cause contact and a fall. It is therefore best to get advice from your
retailer if you wish to replace any parts.
// You should also know that after the first bedding in rides, the cable tension, the brakes
and the steering can need adjustment. We advise that you go to your local Moustache
retailer to carry this out. If something does not seem right during this period, or for any
other question on the usage of your bike, do not hesitate to contact your local retailer.
