1) You need to check the traffic rules and regulations in your area, including but not limited to
regulations about bicycle lighting, licensing of e-bikes, riding on sidewalks, laws regulating bike
path and trail use, helmet laws, child carrier laws, special e-bike traffic laws. It is your
responsibility to know and obey the laws.
2) Always wear a helmet when riding your e-bike. Ensure that the helmet fits your head and is
securely tightened down. If you attach a seat for children to the e-bike, they must also be
wearing a properly fitted helmet at all times.
Always read the user manual of the helmet to make sure it is fitted and attached properly to the
wearer's head according to the fitting instructions described in the user manual.
Warning: Failure to wear a helmet when riding may result in serious injury or death.
3) Before using the e-bike on the road, ride the e-bike in a secure area to get familiarised with
riding the e-bike with electric pedalling assistance and its functionalities.
Conduct mechanical and electrical checks following the pre-riding checklist in Section 4 of
•
this manual to ensure the e-bike is safe to use.
This bicycle is made to be ridden by one rider at a time for general transportation and
•
recreational use. It is not made to withstand the abuse of stunting and jumping.
• Wet weather impairs traction, braking and visibility. The risk of an accident is dramatically
increased in wet conditions. Ride slowly with caution, especially when turning.
Riding a bicycle at night is much more dangerous than riding during the day. It is
•
recommended to not ride at night if possible. If you indeed to ride at night, you need to
install a tail light on the e-bike and ensure it has sufficient battery power. Ride at slow
speed. Do turn on the head light, and tail light when riding at night. It is recommended for
the riders to use additional night lighting system such as flashing light on helmet, adding
additional reflectors on the e-bikes on all facets.
Warning: Keep both hands on the grips on the handlebar and the brake levers within
reach while riding. Failing to do so can cause you to lose control over the e-bike, and
may cause serious injury or death.
