BEFORE THE FIRST RIDE
If you have purchased your bike from a specialist dealer, they must provide the electric bike in a
condition ready to ride in order to ensure safe operation. The dealer must perform a final inspection
and a test ride.
SAFETY CHECK
1. WHEELS
Check the tires’ condition, alignment and air pressure. Check the tires and wheels for damage, cracks
and deformation.
2. BATTERY
Check that the battery is inserted securely: push the battery into its holder until it clicks into the lock.
Remove the key from the lock and pull the battery to check if it has indeed locked into place. Check the
charge status of the battery. Familiarize yourself with the functions of all controls (p. 40).
3. BRAKES SYSTEM
Pull both brake levers. You should feel an obvious pressure point and the levers should not be able to
touch the handle.
•
Make sure that the disks are not rubbing against each other.
•
If they do rub at the beginning, it’s normal because they are not broken in.
•
To learn more about adjusting brakes go on our website, our YouTube channel, or visit your local
bike shop to have them professionally adjusted and tuned.
Check that the configuration of the brake lever matches what you are used to. Otherwise your specialist
dealer should adjust the configuration of the brake levers. More information on brakes on page 39.
4. LIGHTING: Check if the front and rear lights are working properly and if the front light is set correctly.
Do not cover lighting and reflectors.
5. CABLES: Look out for any loose cables
6. DISPLAY: Check that your display turns on and functions properly
7. KICKSTAND: Make sure that the kick stand is tightly secured, and not rubbing against the ground
or tires.

DANGER!
Make sure the brakes have already been applied prior to getting on to your bike. If the assistance
mode is turned on, your E-Bike will start moving as soon as you push on the pedal. The unfamiliar
push can otherwise cause a fall, hazard, or accident.
DANGER!
Do not place the key inadvertently or any other metal object into the
charging port as this can result in a short circuit and render your
battery nonchargeable and in need of replacement.
