1.3 Usage restrictions
When buying your bike, please make sure that it
is suitable for your intended use (see 1.2 Model
guide)
All of O2feel's bikes are "electrically power
assisted", which means that the assistance only
kicks in when you pedal. In accordance with the
NF EN 15194 standard, assistance is also limited
to 25km/hr. If you exceed this speed, the motor
will stop supplying power.
Pedalling can be harder when assistance is
deactivated or when the battery is low. In addition,
an electric bike is heavier than a classic bike. Make
sure you have enough battery power to complete
your journey or that you are capable of completing
your journey without assistance, as the case may
be.
1.4 Safety
Cycling involves risks, including in particular falling
off, which can cause injuries. O2feel therefore
recommends that users wear an appropriate
helmet (NF EN 1078).
An electric bike may behave differently from
a classic bike, due to the assistance and the
weight. It is a good idea to familiarise yourself
with your bike before using it on a public
highway.
When you cycle on a public highway, always make
sure you follow the highway code for the country
in which you are cycling.
When you buy your O2feel e-bike, it will have
been checked and adjusted by a professional, to
guarantee your enjoyment, comfort and safety.
In order to uphold these standards, it is a good
idea to have your bike serviced regularly by your
approved O2feel reseller.
The maximum ranges provided can vary and
depend on a number of factors, including (but
not limited to): weight of the cyclist, weight of
the load, gradient, condition of the road, level of
assistance chosen, ambient temperature.etc.
Any attempt to 'tune' your O2feel e-bike is
prohibited. This would in fact make your bike
illegal to cycle on public highways and would
result in using it beyond the restrictions for
which it has been designed. That would lead to
the cancellation of any warranties in force.
The bikes are subject to load restrictions that take
into account the weight of the cyclist (see Page
4). If this limit is exceeded, this will invalidate the
guarantee.
Check your tyre pressure whenever you are about
to go out. The recommended pressure is indicated
on the side of the tyre.
Regularly check that the screws are tight (stem,
handlebars, wheels, brakes, saddle).
Never open the battery. Danger of short-circuiting
which can cause burns or a fire. When you open
the battery, all warranty claims are voided.
To prevent your bike from being stolen, avoid
parking it in high traffic areas and attach your
bike to a fixed point by the frame.
