Use Of The Bicycle; Braking; Bicycle Parking - MBM HYPERION 29 User Manual

7.1 Usage of the bicycle
Before using the pedal assisted bicycle in places open to traffic, it is advisable to familiarize yourself with the behavior of
the vehicle.
The first uses must be made in private environments away from traffic, other cyclists or obstacles of any kind.
The driver must adapt the travel speed of the pedal assisted bicycle to the conditions of the route and the presence of
other vehicles or pedestrians. Especially when tackling the curves you must keep a moderate speed (the smaller the cor-
ner radius, the lower the speed must be). When the driver stops pedaling or the speed reaches 25 km / h, the electric motor
no longer provides assistance and the bicycle proceeds completely managed by the pedals.
It is essential to gain experience in riding the pedal assisted bicycle, before proceeding at high speed. If you do not want to
use the engine, simply remove the battery or set the lowest level of assistance.

7.2 Braking

To minimize the stopping distances of the vehicle, it is necessary to abruptly stop pedaling and subsequently apply brak-
ing force gradually in order not to destabilize the vehicle.
Encourage the use of the rear brake when braking to stabilize the bicycle.
Driving behavior
Excessive braking force can trigger harmful phenomena such as wheel locking or vehicle overturning. It is very dangerous to
brake when cornering: you could lose control of the bike.
ATTENTION
7.3 Parking
The bicycle is not equipped with a side stand for support, therefore, before leaving the bicycle, check that the pedal-as-
sisted bicycle is resting on stable ground and remains in a stable position.
The bicycle must be parked in the designated parking areas and, in any case, without obstructing the passageways, emer-
gency exits, electrical panels and fire-fighting stations.
