charge it before your first ride.

Check the assembly and settings of brakes. Ensure that you can easily reach the brake
levers and that you know which lever operates which brake.

Check the air pressure in the tires. The correct pressure is usually found on the tire
sidewall. Do not exceed the minimum or maximum tire pressure!

Bosch eBike system components while riding away from roads with heavy traffic. Do not ride with
cargo before you feel confident riding the Cargo eBike.
