Your G Plus Mariner can be ridden as a standard bicycle, it is strongly recommended that you do also assist with
pedaling upon riding which can greatly increase the distance between battery charges.
When riding under power, you can enhance distance in between charges by holding the throttle at 10% below full
throttle.
When riding under power, add as much non-powered coasting (similar to traditional pedaling) by releasing the
throttle and allowing the bicycle to freely coast under its own momentum. This will greatly increase the distance
between charges.
Familiarize yourself with throttling (10% below full), pedaling and momentum coasting to optimize the distance being
available per charge. If planning a long trip, by applying a combination of the 3 distance enhancing methods will
allow for an uninterrupted power supply for the entire ride.
c. General warning
Like any sport, bicycling involves the risk of injury and damage. By choosing to ride a bicycle, you assume the responsibility for
that risk, so you need to know — and to practice — the rules of safe and responsible riding and of proper use and
maintenance. Proper use and maintenance of your bicycle reduces risk of injury.
This Manual contains many "Warnings" and "Cautions" concerning the consequences of failure to maintain or inspect
your bicycle and of failure to follow safe cycling practices.
WARNING:
This image followed by the word WARNING indicates a potentially hazardous situation that, if not
avoided, could result in serious injury or death.
CAUTION:
This image followed by the word CAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous situation, which, if not
avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury, serious, damage to the bicycle or the voiding of your warranty or is
an alert against unsafe practices.
Many of the Warnings and Cautions say, "you may lose control and fall". Because any fall can result in serious injury or
even death, we do not always repeat the warning of possible injury or death. Because it is impossible to anticipate
every situation or condition that can occur while riding, this Manual makes no representation about the safe use of
the bicycle under all conditions. There are risks associated with the use of any bicycle which cannot be predicted or
avoided, and which are the sole responsibility of the rider.
d. A special note to parents
The Prodeco Technologies G Plus Mariner is intended for use by adult riders only. Many state laws require electric bicycle
riders to be a minimum age of 16 with some states having minimum ages set as low as 10 years old and other states up to
18 years old (at the time of the writing of this manual). As a parent or guardian, you are responsible for the activities and
safety of your minor child including the following of your state and local laws in regards to the riding of an electric bicycle by a
minor (under the age of 18). That includes, if your state allows a minor to ride, making sure that your minor child can safely
ride and control all of the operations of the bicycle, and fully understands all warnings and cautions as indicated in this
User Guide. Please read on if you have determined that your minor child can legally and safely ride and control all of the
operations of the bicycle. That includes making sure that the bicycle is properly fitted to the child; that it is in good repair and
safe operating condition; that you and your child have learned and understand the safe operation of the bicycle; and that you
and your child have learned, understand and obey not only the applicable local motor vehicle, bicycle and traffic laws, but also
the common sense rules of safe and responsible bicycling. As a parent or guardian, you should read and understand this
manual. Before letting any child ride the G Plus Mariner or any of Prodeco Technologies electric bicycles, review with them all
warnings and cautions; as well as the information on the proper usage of your battery pack, charger and bicycle. You
must first confirm the laws, rules and regulations regarding electric bicycles in your state, city and local
municipality.
WARNING:
Make sure that your child always wears an approved bicycle helmet when riding; but also make
sure that your child understands that a bicycle helmet is for bicycling only, and must be removed when not riding. A
helmet must not be worn while playing, in play areas, on playground equipment, while climbing trees, or at any time
while not riding a bicycle. Failure to follow this warning could result in serious injury or death.
