Rider advice
Riding an eBike offers a very different experience to riding a conventional
bicycle with no motor. The injection of power and increased weight can change
your riding approach. Below are some considerations to ensure safe riding,
reduce component wear, and increase battery range;
•
Additional weight can affect braking distances. Consider your speed
when entering corners and trail features. Pedalling through corners or trail
features will increase your speed and may exceed the riders control.
•
Shifting gears efficiently dependant upon gradient and terrain ensures an
efficient cadence reducing wear to drive-train components. This will also
extend the battery life of the eBike.
•
Check tyre pressures regularly to ensure optimum grip and roll efficiency.
Store the eBike indoors and where possible avoid storing in a cooler
temperature lower than 5 °C.
Rider advice
Ensure that the eBike is properly sized for the user. Check your owners manual
for assistance with size adjustments. Please ensure you have read the sections
in your owners manual regarding set up, mechanical checks, and safety checks.
Please see advice below specific to EPAC's.
•
Check battery charge level prior to every ride.
•
Ensure you are familiar with the display functions.
•
Ensure you are familiar with the remote functions.
•
Make sure the bike is disconnected from the charger before every ride.
Please note the use of a Pedelec or and E-MTB by children or adolescents
under the age of 14 is not recommended and or illegal in the UK. Please check
your regions laws and restrictions.
1.3 Rider Advice
Fellow riders and your environment
Always be courteous to other trail users. Use extra caution around domestic
animals, such as dogs and horses. Give other trail users right-of-way in all
situations, take care in urban areas where human traffic is greatly increased.
Please see the 'regulations and usage' section of this manual to learn about
your bikes capabilities. Your Whyte eBike and Kynamic hub motor system has
not been design for offroad terrain or MTB graded trails. Riding your bike in
environments that it hasn't been designed for could lead to mechanical failure
and put the rider at risk.
Public roads
Before riding your Whyte eBike, please inform yourself of all applicable legal
requirements and regulations in your country, state, and/or province. There may
be restrictions on riding your eBike on public roads, cycling paths, and/or trails.
There may also be applicable helmet and light requirements, age restrictions
or license or insurance requirements. Whyte Bikes encourages its bike owners
to research all legal requirements for their own safety. Failure to do so puts the
rider and others around them at risk, voids warranty, and support from Whyte
Bikes will not be offered. As laws and regulations regarding electric bicycles
vary by country and/or state and province and are constantly changing, please
make sure to obtain the latest information. Please read this manual fully and if
you have any further questions please contact your Whyte Bikes retailer.
