SAFETY
Helmet:
Always wear an approved helmet while riding your Pedego and follow
the helmet manufacturer's instructions for it, use and care of your helmet.
It is your responsibility to familiarize yourself with the laws of where you
ride your Pedego and to comply with all applicable laws.
Mechanical Safety Check:
Check the condition of your Pedego before every ride. Make sure
no nuts, bolts or ixings are loose, with particular attention to the axle
nuts and handlebar stem. Make sure the tires are correctly inlated with
the recommended air pressure that is located on the side wall of every
tire. Check the brakes for proper operation.
You must take your bike in to be serviced and checked by a qualiied bike
mechanic before 100 miles (161 kilometers) of riding. This is a standard good
practice for any new bike as cables will stretch and components will 'bed in'.
The service must include spoke tensioning for both front and rear wheels.
Your First Ride:
When you buckle on your helmet and go for your irst ride, be sure
to pick an area away from cars, other cyclists, obstacles or other hazards
in order to become familiar with the controls, features and performance
of your new Pedego.
Additional Passengers:
The Pedego bikes are designed for one passenger only (excluding Tandems).
DO NOT carry any additional passengers on the front or rear of the bike.
The rear rack holding the battery is not designed to carry the weight
of any additional passengers, including baby carriers.
Weight Capacity:
Pedego Electric Bikes are designed with a maximum weight capacity of 250
pounds for all models. The rear rack maximum weight capacity of a Pedego
(if applicable) is 25 pounds. Exceeding the maximum weight capacity can
result in damage of the bike which can lead to serious injury.
