WARNING! The specified cargo weight limit applies only to compatible
front and rear racks and seat bags where indicated. In case the specified
cargo weight limit differs from the cargo weight limit specified by the rack
or seat bag manufacturer, always use the lowest limit. If you add any other
load-bearing accessories, including, but not limited to, baskets and child
carriers, you do so at your own risk in that these accessories have not been
tested for compatibility, reliability, or safety on your bicycle. Failure to follow
this warning may result in serious personal injury or death.
For more information on the intended use and structural weight limits for the
frame and components, please refer to the Owner's Manual.

The Levo motor provides pedal assistance only while you are pedaling and the bicycle is in
motion. The amount of pedal assistance will be higher or lower depending on the amount of
force applied to the pedals. If you stop pedaling, the motor will stop providing any assistance.
The Levo bicycle can also be ridden as a normal bicycle without motor assistance by switching
the display to the OFF mode. The same applies if the battery charge drops below 5 - 3%.

Because of the electric motor assist, the Levo offers a unique riding experience compared to
a bicycle without motor assist. Below are some riding tips which may also reduce component
wear and increase battery range:
Pay attention to your speed going into a corner and be sure to stop pedaling well before
entering the corner. Otherwise you may carry too much speed when entering a corner.
Ride at a comfortable efficient cadence, and look ahead.
When braking force is applied, more energy is needed to get the bicycle back up to speed.
Shift gears regularly to stay in an optimal cadence range and downshift before coming to a stop.
Reduce pedal force before initiating a gear shift to reduce drivetrain wear.
Braking while steering may reduce the ability to control your bicycle.
Check the tire pressure regularly. Low pressure can cause the tires to roll inefficiently.
Do not expose your bicycle to prolonged excessive heat (e.g. direct sunlight).
Only carry the cargo you need. More weight will drain the battery faster.
If you plan to ride your bicycle in cooler temperatures (0 °C / 32 °F), keep it stored indoors
until just before riding.
WARNING! The motor support is activated as soon as you step onto the
pedals and the bicycle is in motion. You should be seated on the bicycle and
engage at least one brake before starting to pedal. Do not put one foot on a
pedal and throw a leg over the bicycle, as it could accelerate unexpectedly.
Failure to follow this warning may result in serious personal injury or even
death.
