After you have made any adjustment to your electric bicycle, check that all nuts
and bolts are securely tightened and cables are free from kinks and fixed securely
to the electric bicycle frame. Every six months, your electric bicycle should be
professionally checked to ensure that it is in correct and safe working order. It
is the responsibility of the rider to ensure all parts are in working order prior to
riding this electric bicycle.
3.2 What Never To Do When Riding
•
NEVER ride without wearing an approved helmet, which must meet
lUSA/European (CPSC/EN) standards. Always comply with the local laws
lland ordinances.
•
NEVER ride on the same side of the road as oncoming traffic.
•
NEVER carry a passenger as this bicycle is designed for a single rider only.
•
NEVER hang item(s) over the handlebar as this could interfere with steering
or catch in the front wheel causing a crash.
•
NEVER hold on to another motor vehicle or bicycle.
•
NEVER ride too close to another vehicle—stay aware and keep your distance.
WARNING! Wet Weather Riding: Your bike's brakes do not work as well under
wet or icy conditions as they do under dry conditions. The braking distance in wet
weather will be longer than that in dry conditions. Take special precautions in wet
weather to assure safe stopping. Ride slower than normal and apply your brakes
well in advance of anticipated stops.
WARNING! Night Riding: Do not ride at night. If
you have to be on your e-bike at night or in low-light
conditions, always comply with laws and regulations
(local and otherwise) for bicycle lighting. Use
approved headlights (white), taillights (red) properly
affixed to your e-bike in addition to all-around
reflectors. For additional safety, wear light colored
clothing with reflective stripes, or safety yellow or
safety orange clothing. Check that the reflectors are
firmly secured in the correct position and clean and
not obscured. Damaged reflectors must be replaced
immediately.
WARNING! The seat post must be inserted at
least up to the minimum insertion mark, or further
so the insertion line is no longer visible (Fig. 4).
If not, the seat post may bend or break, possibly
damaging the bicycle or causing injury.
5
WARNING! Handlebar stem minimum insertion mark on traditional quill stem
must NOT be visible above the top of the headset. If the stem is extended beyond
the minimum insertion mark, the stem may break or weaken the fork steering
tube, possibly damaging the bicycle or causing an accident (only for bike equipped
with a quill stem).
4. Routine Maintenance Check and Lubrication
WARNING! As with all mechanical components, your bicycle is subjected
to wear and stress. Different materials and components may react to wear or
fatigue in different ways. If the design life of a component has been exceeded
it may suddenly fail, possibly causing injuries to the rider. Any types of cracks,
scratches, or change of coloring in highly stressed areas indicate that the life of
the component has been reached and it should be replaced immediately.
Always inspect your bicycle before every ride.
WARNING! Use only genuine replacement parts, particularly for safety-
critical components, installed by a professional bicycle mechanic. To keep your
electric bicycle functioning well, the following routine maintenance lubrication is
necessary (refer to Fig. 5):
Half-Yearly: Remove,
clean, and lubricate chain,
derailleur(s), cog set, and all
cables. Check and replace
as required.
Weekly (or as needed):
Wash bicycle with warm
soapy water. Dry with a
soft, nonabrasive cloth. Do
not use strong chemicals
Minimum
extension
or abrasives. Do not use
mark
a high-pressure washer.
Inspect your bicycle while
cleaning.
