Moustache Lundi 20 Manuel Utilisateur page 60

• 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 (Figure 2). 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.

For your safety and to guarantee optimal long term functioning of your Moustache bike,
you can establish a regular maintenance calendar with your retailer.
This will be determined based on how frequently you ride, the distance you ride, your riding
style, as well as the terrain you ride on (see the sections 5.4 WEAR PARTS AND INSPECTION
FREQUENCIES and 7
Your Moustache retailer is the best placed to advise you and carry out all maintenance
operations, but if you prefer to do some yourself, you will find some advice in the following
