REFLECTORS ARE NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR REQUIRED LIGHTS. RIDING AT
DAWN, AT DUSK, AT NIGHT OR AT OTHER TIMES OF POOR VISIBILITY WITHOUT

Moving and storage instructions
eBikes can be heavier than non-electric bikes. Ensure any car rack used is certified
for use with eBikes and can handle the additional weight when in transport.
As with any bicycle it is encouraged to store your electric bike in a dry temperate
environment such as a garage when not in use. Leave indoors when charging or
not riding. Prolonged Exposure to UV Rays, Rain and the Elements May Damage
the Enclosure Materials, Store Indoors When Not in Use. For long periods of
storage the location should protect the bike from extreme heat or cold.
It is advised to remove the battery and store inside during extended
periods of storage or during extreme temperature.
Caution for night riding
• Check your bike during the day to make sure that your lighting & reflectors are installed
correctly checking for looseness, tightening where needed and clean of any debris.
• Always make sure that the front & rear lighting is operating to its optimal capacity.
• Wear the right gear. It is recommended to wear reflective gear when
riding in the dark. Eye protection such as a goggle, or clear protective
glasses will keep any night debris from getting into your eyes.
• Ride with a buddy. It is recommended to ride with another
person as a back up should an emergency arise.
• Riding conditions at night require a sharper eye. Many obstacles will appear
as they are illuminated by the bikes lighting and provide less reaction time
so give yourself some extra space between you and your surroundings.
Caution for wet riding
• Make sure to leave yourself extra stopping time.
• Be sure to wear the appropriate clothing and protective gear. Wet debris can
get kicked up to the rider from the mudguards so please be extra cautious.
• When accelerating in wet conditions be careful and make sure to increase
speed at a slower pace. Don't lean into corners and take more time to brake.
• Make sure that the appropriate tire pressure is respected. Match the tire pressure
to the road & weather conditions. A slightly lower (No less than 5 psi of the
recommended pressure written on the sidewall of the tire) tire pressure can provide
extra traction in sloppy conditions as more tire surface touches the ground.
• Always keep an eye on where you're heading. Avoid drain covers,
grates, oil, and road lines which can become slippery when wet.
Guide to on/off road riding
On road riding on flat surfaces is very different from Off road terrain.
• Understand your terrain. A bike that is equipped and intended for road riding should
not be used for off road riding and vise versa. Only use your product for its intended
purpose. Failure to comply could result in injury. We cannot be held responsible
• for anyone riding their bike which is not equipped for the intended terrain.
• When riding on road conditions make sure to respect the road signage.
• When riding off road, be sure to familiarize yourself with your surroundings.
When riding in hills it is important to understand that riding in these conditions
can cause you to become unbalanced which requires quick adjustment.
• Failure to understand off road riding characteristics can result in injury.
• Be very careful when riding your bike in snow terrain. A fat tire can be operated with
lower tire pressure, so more tire surface is touching the ground. (Only bikes equipped
with 26" x 4" or wider tires.) Please see sidewall of tire for proper operating pressure.
• Off road riding requires greater stopping distances compared to on
road riding. Please make sure to adjust brakes, cables, derailleur, and all
mechanical functions of your bike with your local certified bike tech as
described in this user manual. Failure to comply could result in injury.
