SAFETY INFORMATION

Intended Use
Your E-Series bike has an electric pedal assist drive system. It is not
a moped or motorcycle. In EU countries, it is known legally as an
"EPAC" cycle or Electrically Powered Assisted Cycle.
The drive assist system consists of a drive unit, a battery, a computer
control, and various electronic components (harness wires, sensors,
and switches). Your E-Series bike does share components common
with pedal-only bikes.
It is important to know that when the assist system is turned ON, the
drive unit engages to provide power only while you are pedaling. The
amount of power provided by the drive unit depends on your pedaling
force and the assistance mode/level you set with the handlebar
control unit. At anytime, if you stop pedaling, the drive assist will
dis-engage. In all modes/levels, the drive assist system power
reduces progressively and cuts off as the bike reaches a speed of 25
km/h, (15.5 mph), or sooner if you stop pedaling. The drive-assist
re-engages when speed drops below 25 km/h, (15.5 mph) as long as
the pedals are turning.
Whenever the drive assist system is turned OFF, You can pedal the bike
normally. The drive system will not engage.
