Pre-riding Check
Check the Tyres and Wheels
While riding an electric bike, the tire valve may break if you sit one-sidedly on the bike. If this
happens, the tire will lose pressure and there is a risk of accident. Therefore, always check that
the valve is at the correct location. It has to extend from the edge of tire inclining towards the
right hand side. Correct the valve immediately if the position is off. Check the following every
time before you mount your bike:
• Check that the tires and wheels are intact without damage and whether the tires are pierced by
any foreign object. Damaged tire will lose pressure and further damage.
• The depth of tire treads.
• Normal activation refers to the two wheels rotating freely. If a wheel is not rotating in a perfect
circle, it is possible that the tire broken, has a damaged axle or worn spoke.
In addition, investigate the source of any unusual noise if necessary, and check the loads carried
and the tightened connection.
Check the Chain and Chain Cover
While riding an electric bike, the chain and cover that are not tightened may be slacking and
cause accident and injury. Make sure that the chain is engaged and tightened and that the cover
is secured every time before riding the bike. Check also that the chain and chain cover are
installed correctly to prevent falling off or sliding.
