Guide to Safe Riding

We want you to love the freedom and flexibility of your new e-Bike or e-Scooter! Follow the tips below to ensure a safe ride.

 

e-Bike Safety:

  1. Get comfortable: Just received your bike? Before taking your bike for a long ride, get comfortable with the different features and familiarize yourself with all of the information included with the product manual. Take it for a few test spins to make sure it is comfortable before your first long ride.
  2. Loading up your bike: Your bike is designed to haul both kids and cargo. Load everything onto the bike with ease, thanks to the kickstand design and storage accesories.  
  3. Getting on and off your bike: Use the convenient step-through frame design to easy get on and off your bike, regardless of how much cargo you have loaded on back. No need to swing your leg over the cargo. 
  4. Be seen: Use your bike's headlight to ensure other riders, drivers and pedestrians can see you regardless of riding condition.
  5. Don't forget your helmet: Are your little ones along for the ride? Don't forget their helmets, too!
  6. Check your speed setting: Before each ride, check your speed setting to ensure it is set to where you want it to be. From there, you can adjust as needed while riding. 
  7. Getting moving: Take advantage of your bike's throttle to get your bike going, especially when carrying a heavy load of kids or cargo. From there, you can take over pedaling with the pedal-assist. 
  8. Use your brakes: With more speed and weight on your bike, don't forget to brake when needed. Braking will cut the motor and allow you to slow down or come to a stop. 
  9. Pay close attention to your surroundings: Whether on a road or a bike path, be aware of cars, bikers and pedestrians around you.
  10. Follow all local laws: Research the e-Bike laws and regulations in your area, to ensure you are complying with all laws and regulations for your safety and the safety of others.

e-Scooter Safety:

  1. Get comfortable: Just received your scooter? Before taking your scooter for a long ride, get comfortable with the different features and familiarize yourself with all of the information included with the product manual. Take it for a few test spins to make sure it is comfortable before your first long ride.
  2. Be seen: Use your scooter's headlight to ensure other riders, drivers and pedestrians can see you regardless of riding condition.
  3. Don't forget your helmet.
  4. Check your speed setting: Before each ride, check your speed setting to ensure it is set to where you want it to be. 
  5. Getting moving: To get your scooter moving, begin by kicking the scooter into motion. Once in motion, you will be able to engage the motor.
  6. Use your brakes: Use the hand brake or foot brake to bring your scooter to a stop. 
  7. Pay close attention to your surroundings: Be aware of cars, bikers and pedestrians around you.
  8. Follow all local laws: Research the e-Scooter laws and regulations in your area, to ensure you are complying with all laws and regulations for your safety and the safety of others.
