Safety Reminders
PRE-RIDE CHECKLIST
Loose Parts
Check and secure all fasteners before
every ride. Make sure handlebar clamp
bolts arelocked properly in place. There
should not be any unusual rattles or
sounds from loose parts or broken
components. If you are not sure, ask an
experienced mechanic to check.
Brake
Check the brake for proper function.
When you squeeze the lever, the brake
should provide positive braking action.
When you apply the brake with the speed
control on, the brake cut-off switch will
stop the motor. When the brake is not in
use, the rear wheel should spin freely
without drag.
Frame, Fork and Handlebars
Check for cracks or broken connections.
Although broken frames and chassis
components are rare, it is possible for an
aggressive rider to run into a curb or wall
and wreck, bend or break a frame, fork or
suspension components. Get in the habit
of inspecting your
'
s regularly.
Tire Inflation
Tires are
Not Fully
inflated when shipped
.
Using an air compressor equipped with a
45
degree end, inflate both tires to 40-50 PSI.
Heavier riders us 50 PSI. This information is
also located on the left side of the rear fork
for easy access. Periodically inspect the tires
for excess wear, and regularly check the tire
pressure and re-inflate as necessary. If you
get a flat tire, a new tube can be purchased
