Operation of Energy Indicator
It is extremely important to the performance, enjoyment and safety of your electric vehicle and yourself to understand how the
features of the electric bicycle operate. Even if you're an experienced cyclist, you should not assume that the way things have
worked on previously owned bicycles will operate similarly on the electric bicycle. Be sure to read – and to understand – this
section of the owner's manual. If you have even the slightest doubt about how any of the mechanical features of the electric
bicycle operate, talk to your authorized Giant retailer.
