Hit the Books before You Ride
Spend some time to understand how to operate and use your new bike before hitting the road. Operating manuals for individual
components and folding instructions for your specific bike are supplied together with this manual. Please read all the manuals.
If anything is unclear, ask your dealer.
Please Check
Electrical system
Make sure you are familiar with the function of all the controller buttons and meaning of the displays.
Please consult the information in the relevant section from the manual of the motorized system manufacturer.
Wheels
Check the Tire pressure and make sure it is within the minimum and maximum values indicated on the sidewalls of the Tires.
Spin both Wheels to make sure they rotate smoothly, are true (not wobbling) and do not rub against the Brakes. If the Wheel wobbles
side to side or rubs against the Brake Pads, take the bike to a qualified bike shop to have the Wheel trued or replaced.
Wheels that do not run true may indicate problems with the Spokes or Tires.
Headset
Stand with the Front Wheel pressed firmly between your legs and try to twist
the Handlebar. If movement occurs, realign your Handlebar and tighten the
Headset and handpost base or service it at your dealer.
Lift the Front Wheel off the ground and swing it from side to side. Does it feel
smooth? If you feel any binding or roughness in the steering, you may have an
overly tight Headset. Have your dealer check it.

Test your Brakes by standing next to your bike, pull both Brakes, and rock the Bike back and forth. (A) The Bike should not roll and the
Brake Pads should remain firmly in place.
Does your Tern feel solid? If you feel a clunk with each forward or backward movement of the bike, you probably have a loose
Headset. Have your dealer check it.
Note that for certain Disc Brakes you may feel a bit of play when attempting to rock the bike back
and forth. These are caused by the built-in clearances between the Brake Pads and the Brake Caliper to allow for thermal expansion and
is considered normal. In these cases, it’s not a loose Headset
.
Rim-Actuated Brakes (B) have Brake Pads (1) that align with the Rim (2). The Brake Pads press against the Rim to slow the Wheel so
make sure the Brake Pads align with the Rim. Check Rim and Pads for wear.
Disc Brakes (C) have a Disc Rotor (3) and a Disc Caliper (4). Pads inside the Disc Caliper squeeze the Disc Rotor to slow the Wheel but
can get very hot under use. Do not touch them immediately after riding.
Which Lever operates the Front Brake and which Lever operates the Rear Brake varies depending on the country. For countries such as
United Kingdom and Japan, the left lever operates the rear brake and the right lever operates the front brake. For USA, Germany and
most other countries the right lever operates the rear brake and the left lever operates the front brake.
Be careful not to damage the Disc Rotor or Disc Caliper when changing wheels or by pulling the Brake Levers when the Disc
Rotor is not aligned.
Make sure to test the braking power before heading into traffic. It can be much more powerful than what you are used to.
Squeezing the Lever too fast can lead to unintended sudden stopping and cause you to crash or get rear ended.
