For the most enjoyment from your eBike, familiarize yourself
with the pedals, brakes, shifting, and suspension. You will enjoy
yourself more if you are confident with your eBike.
BEFORE EVERY RIDE
Before riding your eBike, perform a safety check on level ground
and away from traffic. If any part doesn't pass the safety check,
fix it or have your eBike serviced before riding.

CHECK THE HANDLEBAR
1. Make sure the bar is at 90 degrees to the wheel.
2. Check that the handlebar is tightened sufficiently so that
it will not twist out of alignment and does not rotate in
the stem.
3. Make sure that no cables are pulled or caught when you
turn the handlebar from side to side.
ADJUST YOUR HANDLEBAR AND STEM
Handlebar position is important for control and comfort. Special
tools and training are necessary to align, adjust, and torque your
stem, so only your eBike shop should do this. Do not attempt
to make the adjustments yourself as these changes may also
require adjustments to the shift levers, brake levers, and cables.
CHECK THE SADDLE AND SEAT POST
1. Make sure the saddle is in line with the center of the eBike.
2. Check that the saddle rails or collar is tightened sufficiently
so that it will not twist out of alignment, or move up or down.
ADJUST YOUR SADDLE
Test that you have the right height by sitting on the saddle with
your heel on the lower pedal and your leg slightly bent. If your
leg is bent more than slightly, your seat should be adjusted up.
If you can't reach the pedal, your seat should be adjusted
down. To avoid damage to the seat post or eBike frame, do not
position the saddle beyond the minimum insertion line on the
seat post. If you can't properly position your saddle, see your
bike shop.
