will be longer than that in dry conditions. Take special precautions in wet weather to
assure safe stopping. Ride slower than normal and apply your brakes well in advance of
anticipated stops.

night or in low-light conditions, always comply with laws and regulations (local and
otherwise) for bicycle lighting. Use approved headlights (white), taillights (red) properly
affixed to your e-bike in addition to all-around reflectors. For additional safety, wear
