Riding Instructions
This guide assumes that you already know how to ride a standard bicycle. Before you try
to ride an electric bicycle, you should be very familiar with controlling and balancing a
normal bicycle.
Caution
If you do not have cycling experience, an e-bike is too dangerous to ride. Do not begin
learning to ride a bicycle using an e-bike.
Important Notes
• Ebikes are Fast! E-bikes are capable of traveling at higher speeds than many bicy-
cle riders are accustomed to. Use caution at all times, especially when travelling
in mixed traffic. Always take into account driving and traveling conditions.
• Obey the Law. Be sure to follow all provincial and city traffic laws. This includes
obeying stop signs, checking carefully when turning, and riding defensively. An
e-bike is a motorized vehicle, even though it is classed as a bicycle. You must fol-
low the law.
• Stay Sober. Never ride your bicycle while intoxicated. An e-bike is capable of trav-
eling faster than a normal bicycle, and you should always be in control of it.
• Share the Road. Be careful in mixed traffic. When on bicycle paths, traveling near
pedestrians, or on recreational trails, try to be polite and courteous to those using
the paths with you. E-bikes are new in most cities, so other users of the roads and
recreational paths may not know how to deal with e-bike riders. Bear in mind that,
in a sense, e-bike riders are “ambassadors” for this new method of transportation.
Items to Carry with the Electric Bike
It is a good idea to carry the following items with you at all times when you ride your e-bike.
• The charger, to charge the bike in case the battery power runs out
• 30 Amp Fuse, spares for the batteries, in case the fuses blow
• A lock, to secure your e-bike when you park it
• A helmet, as required by safety laws
