Safety measures
Ensure the bicycle is in good condition each time before using it. Check
before
each
ride that the brakes are in order. Check the lighting and make
sure there is enough tyre pressure.
Regularly check if the wheels, the handlebars and the saddle are properly
fixed and also whether all screw joints are tight.
Only use the bicycle on a
solid and level surface
.
Make sure that wide trousers or lose hanging clothing don’t get caught in the
chain, spokes or pedals.
Do not use a pressure washer or a steam cleaner for the cleaning of the
bicycle.
Always lock the bicycle when leaving it unattended.
Make sure that no dangerous speed develops when driving downhill and
entering tunnels. Brake
on time and don’t ride faster than 30 kilometres per
hour.
In case of pregnancy, extra care is required owing to a higher risk of injury.
Do not put the bicycle in direct sunlight: the temperature of some parts could
reach above 41ºC resulting in possible hypersensitivity of the skin.
In case that the bicycle is equipped with the Silent electric motor system,
make sure that you get used to riding with electric support. Beware when
you turn on the system and make sure you don’t get startled by unexpected
behaviour because you turned on the electric support.
