Introduction - Edbikes 26" City Bike Owner's Manual

1 Introduction

Thank you for choosing an Edbike electric bicycle.
Before you use your Edbike electric bike it is important that you read this manual carefully. If there is
anything you do not understand completely, please contact us.
Please observe traffic regulations, and do not lend your bicycle to anyone who is unfamiliar with it.
We recommend your electric bike only be used by a person aged fourteen years or older, always
supervise children until they are competent riders.
We strongly advise you to always wear an approved cycle helmet when riding your bicycle. If you are
unfamiliar with cycling, we advise attending a cycle proficiency course prior to using your new
bicycle on the public highway.
When using any bicycle, it is important that you stay within safe limits; if you feel as if you are
travelling too quickly, you probably are.
Always test your brakes prior to using the bike, and remember the bike will not stop as quickly in the
wet as it would in the dry!
Always be careful of using the front brake when turning or on slippery surfaces as locking of the
front wheel can be dangerous and result in falling off.
Before you use the bike for the first time, please make absolutely certain that it has been correctly
assembled. In particular, you must make sure that the pedals, saddle, handle bars and any self
assembled items have been fitted correctly and tightened.
Avoid consuming alcohol before you ride your electric bike. The use of alcohol greatly reduces
reflexes and limits your ability to ride safely. The legal limit and penalties for operating a motor
vehicle apply to cyclists.
If you need to replace your battery, please dispose of it properly.
Above all, enjoy your Edbike bike, happy cycling!
