by infractions or inappropriate actions taken towards other vehicles, obstacles or persons.
Misuse of the item or non-compliance with the instructions provided in this manual may
cause severe injury.
Riders must also ensure that the electrically power assisted cycle is kept clean, in perfect
working order and serviced. They must diligently carry out the safety checks which are their
responsibility, as well as preserve all the documentation about product maintenance.
Riders must carefully assess any weather conditions which could make it potentially
dangerous to use the electrically power assisted cycle.
This product is a vehicle, therefore, the faster is it goes, the longer the braking distance
required. We, therefore, recommend moderating your speed and maintaining an adequate
braking distance if you are riding in adverse weather conditions and/or heavy traffic.
The braking distance increases on wet, slippery, muddy or icy roads and the tyre grip
decreases significantly with the risk of the wheels skidding and loss of balance compared to
dry roads.
It is, therefore, essential to ride the bike with greater care, maintain a suitable speed and
safety distance from other vehicles or pedestrians.
Take extra care when riding on unfamiliar roads.
For your safety, we recommend wearing suitable protective equipment (helmet, knee and
elbow pads) to protect yourself from any falls or injuries while riding the bike. When allowing
others to use the bike, ensure that the rider wears the safety equipment and explain how to
operate the vehicle. To avoid injury, do not allow other persons to use the item if they do not
know how to use it.
Wear shoes before using the item.
The bike has been designed to allow the load of a maximum overall weight (rider and any
load being carried) that does not exceed the value indicated in the product data sheet.
Avoid using the product, under all circumstances, if the total load transported exceeds
the recommended weight to avoid the risk of damaging the integrity of the structural and
electronic components of the bike.
The electrically power assisted cycle (EPAC), as specified in the provisions of the current
reference standard EN 15194, is a means of transport intended to transport one person only.
The transport of a passenger is only permitted within the framework of the regulations in
force in the country where it is ridden regarding: the minimum age of the rider, maximum
age of the passenger transported, provision of legally approved and authorised passenger
transport devices.
It is the user's responsibility to ascertain the suitability of the devices used for passenger
transport in terms of construction characteristics, safety systems, anchoring systems and
their installation and assembly on the electrically power assisted cycle based on its structure
and within the permitted load limits (maximum load supported by the bike and by the
luggage rack supplied, if present).
