Inspecting your Electric Bike

Always inspect your e-bike before you ride it, to make sure its safety features are oper-

ating properly. Many accidents can be avoided with routine inspections. Once you are

comfortable with your e-bike, you will be able to detect small changes in the way it feels.

If anything changes between uses, make sure to have it properly examined. Also, be sure

to listen for changes in the sounds your e-bike makes over time. Any mechanical or power

issues may have effects on the sounds the bicycle makes.

Holding the Handlebars

As with a normal bicycle or gas scooter, place your fingers over the brake levers, using the

palms of your hand and your thumbs to wrap around and under the handlegrips. Doing

this allows you to activate the brakes easily, by squeezing your hand, in case you have to

stop quickly. This is the safe way to control your electric bicycle.

Turning your E-bike On and Off

To turn on your e-bike, insert the key into the “ignition”, located just below the dash board,

and turn the key to the right. When your e-bike is activated, the power indicator will light

and the battery charge indicator will jump, showing you how much power your e-bike

has. To turn off the e-bike, simply turn the key to the left, and remove the key.

Warning

When you activate the e-bike, the electrical system becomes live. Do not try to affect

changes to the E-Bike (such as removing the battery or repairing electrical components)

while the E-Bike is activated. Turn the E-Bike off and remove the key before you attempt

to access any of the electrical components. Also, the battery carries a significant electric

charge and can injure people if not treated properly and with respect.

Accelerating and Decelerating

The throttle is found on the right-side hand grip on the handlebars. Turn the grip forward

(away from you) to accelerate. To decelerate, release the grip (turn it towards you). Don’t

over-rotate the accelerator, as this could damage the battery and electrical components.

Warning

Do not activate the accelerator until you are seated on the bicycle and are ready to accel-

erate. The e-bike can easily escape from your control, possibly injuring you or others, and

the e-bike may be damaged by being dropped.
