Any sudden movements or swerves may cause the bike to
lose control and may cause serious or fatal injuries.
WARNING
4.5) PEDALING
Your electric bicycle is equipped with folding pedals. In case of
a battery or motor failure, pedals can be used as an alternative
method of power. When standing still, use the pedals to start the
electric bicycle moving` forward, and then switch over to electri-
cal power when needed. This method will greatly conserve battery
power during commuting or long periods of use.
4.6) TURNING
When riding your electric bicycle, its your responsibility to be a safe
and informed driver. When on the road, do not make any sudden
movements when turning into an intersection. Always signal and
check your mirrors and blindspots. Before turning, slow down to
a safe speed which will allow for a safe execution of the turn. For
more information, refer to your provincial motorcyclist handbook.
4.7) ACCELERATING
Your electric bicycle is designed to gradually accelerate to a speed of
32km/h from standstill. Depending on the total weight load, it may take
a few hundred meters for your electric bicycle to accelerate to its top
speed. Travelling at top speed is dangerous if not carried out correctly.
When accelerating, keep the bicycle moving straight, and make sure
none of the brakes are engaged.
4.8) BRAKING
Your electric bicycle is equipped with drum brakes at both, rear
and front. When braking, gradually squeeze the right lever until
the bicycle comes to a complete stop. The right lever engages the
front brake, which are proven to be more efficient than rear brakes
in most situations. Squeezing the right lever will engage the back
brakes. Use back brakes in conjunction with front brakes to achieve
the fastest and safest braking. Do not solely rely on a single brake.
