A WORD ABOUT THIS SAFETY MANUAL
DEAR KUBERG CUSTOMER
Congratulations on your purchase of a Kuberg motorcycle. You now own a state of the art electric
motorcycle that will give you endless thrills if you maintain it properly. We welcome you to the
community of KUBERG riders.
Your KUBERG motorcycle is a performance motorcycle that should be treated with caution and
used in safe environments. As the owner of this motorcycle, it is your responsibility for the safety
of the rider at all times. If you defer this task to another adult, you need to pass this owner’s man-
ual and all relevant information to whoever will take on this role, and ensure without question
that the rider is controlled and taught in a safe manner.
Your KUBERG motorcycle is highly adjustable and can be set up specically for the rider.
Please do not allow the bike to be used or adjusted by other operators.
Your KUBERG motorcycle is driven by a powerful electric motor, which requires experience and
careful handling. The speed and torque settings MUST be set to suit the abilities of the rider.
Please remember that even when the torque setting is set to a slow setting, the torque on these
motors is virtually instant. This means that opening the throttle will propel the motorcycle to a
rapid speed almost instantly. For developing good riding skills this is a wonderful feature, as it
will teach riders throttle control gradually with lower power. If the maximum power and torque
is set too aggressively, the rider may accelerate to a speed he/she is not comfortable with. Your
KUBERG motorcycle has great capabilities, and can grow with the skills of the rider to very high
levels of performance, but it is IMPERITIVE that the responsible adult controls the entire learning
process and pays full attention at all times. You need to foresee all potential situations and man-
age the riding environment and the rider accordingly.
KUBERG motorcycles are designed for o road use only and must not be used on public roads
or sidewalks. Please check and obey all local and state laws. KUBERG motorcycles should only be
ridden in safe areas where all laws are being followed and all required permissions are given.
KUBERG motorcycles are amazingly capable, and can be used from the earliest stages of learning
to ride all the way through to veteran riders. The secret of learning to ride well is being able to
ride a lot, and KUBERG motorcycles make this learning process very gratifying teenagers and
adults alike. Thanks again for purchasing a KUBERG motorcycle, and we hope you enjoy the ride!

OWNER’S MANUAL
SAFETY ADVICE
WARNING!
Failure to obey all of the warnings & instructions contained in this manual may result in serious
injury or death and permanent damage to your KUBERG motorcycle.
SPEED & TORQUE SETTINGS
Your KUBERG motorcycle features a speed and torque control button that must be set for the
abilities of the rider. This must be set by the responsible supervising adult before each and every
ride. Instructing and practicing in a controlled situation will allow the rider to learn how to operate
the motorcycle safely. Go to page xx to nd detailed instructions how to set up dierent speed
and torque modes.
WARNING: ADULT SUPERVISION REQUIRED
This vehicle must be used in the presence of adult supervision to insure that safe riding practices
are established and followed. A parent should supervise their child’s operation of this vehicle at all
times. Parents should permit continued use of this vehicle only if they determine that their child
has the ability and judgment to operate the vehicle safely.
WARNING: OFFROAD USE ONLY
Kuberg motorcycles are designed primarily for OFF-ROAD use. Please check your local, state and
country regulations whether single-track, motorized electric vehicles are legal for road use in your
area. Kuberg Start/Trial E/Cross are not homologated for road use in the European Union.
ELECTRIC DRIVETRAIN
The fully electric drivetrain of this motorcycle is dierent than any gasoline motorcycle:
1There is very little engine braking and no engine noise.
2 When going into corners or coming to a stop the rider will be fully dependenton the bike’s
brakes.
3 Passerby’s might not hear your approach – be extra cautious.Make yourselfconspicuous to
reduce chanceofother trac participants not seeing you approaching.
4 Be aware that your motorcycle is still ON during stops and while at an “idle”.Accidental-
lytwisting the throttle can cause serious harm.
SAFE RIDING PRACTICES
1OPERATOR ONLY! No passengers!
2Long hair, loose clothing or items worn by the rider must be covered to prevent entangle-
ment in moving parts of the vehicle or surroundings while riding.
3 Do not exceed the weight limit. Heavier riders may signicantly reduce performance and/or
render the vehicle unstable and/or over-tax the brakes and other control devices. Heavier
riders may cause structural damage not covered by the warranty.

9
OWNER’S MANUAL
4Do not touch any moving or hot parts.
5DO NOT RIDE AT NIGHT OR UNDER LOW VISIBILITY CONDITIONS. Kuberg Start/Trial E/Cross
is not equipped with lights.
6Do not immerse this vehicle in water.
7Do not ride on steep or uneven surfaces. Steep or uneven surfaces greatly increase the
likelihood of loss-of-control.
8Do not ride faster than conditions permit for safe operation. Excess speed greatly increases
the likelihood of loss-of-control.
9The rider should be securely seated on the vehicle ready to ride with the kickstand up be-
fore turning on the power switch ON.
Ride where other motorists and trac participants can see you. Avoid riding in another motorist’s
blind spot. Know your skills and limits. Stay within your limits to avoid an accident.
NOTE:
Many accidents have been caused by rider error. A typical error made by motorcycle riders is veering
wide on a turn due to EXCESSIVE SPEED or under cornering due to insucient lean angle for the given
speed.
WARNING!
Maintain a proper posture while riding. The posture of rider is important for proper control of the
motorcycle. The rider should keep both hands on the handlebar and both feet on rider’s footrests
during operation to maintain control of the motorcycle. Neverrideundertheinuenceofalco-
holorotherdrugs. Go to page xxx to nd detailed instructions for a proper riding technique.
ONE RIDER ONLY
Your bike was engineered to carry one rider and no (0) passengers. Carrying a passenger would
overload the motorcycle and alter the handling. Do not allow this to happen.
DO NOT OVERLOAD THE BIKE
Exceeding the weight limitations will adversely aect the handling of the motorcycle, and poten-
tially cause damage.
OBEY ALL LAWS
Obey all laws. KUBERG bikes are for OFF-ROAD USE ONLY. KUBERG bikes cannot be used on
public roads or sidewalks. The purchaser, owner, and/or riders of this motorcycle are directly
responsible to know and obey all local, state, and federal laws regarding the riding and use of this
motorcycle.
WEATHER & RIDING CONDITIONS
Don’t ride in the rain or snow. Please be aware that distance to stop under wet conditions may
double or triple over the distance that it takes under dry conditions. Ride more slowly, and antic-
ipate your stops by applying the brakes MUCH earlier. Don’t allow children to ride on slopes that
are too steep for their ability.

10
OWNER’S MANUAL
NIGHT TIME
Don’t ride after dark or in low light conditions.
BATTERIES

ies. Go to page xxx to learn about the correct charging procedure and batteries.
MIND THE MOTORCYCLE’S CHAIN
Under no circumstances should any hands or other body parts be close to a moving chain. Riders

OWNER’S MANUAL
BEFORE FIRST RIDE
NOTE:
If you purchased your KUBERG motorcycle at a local dealer your motorcycle may be fully adjusted and
ready to ride. If you purchased your KUBERG still in the original packing, please carefully follow the
instructions below and any supplemental instructions to nish the assembly and adjustment of your
KUBERG.
UNPACKING AND ASSEMBLY
WARNING:
Failure to properly assemble and adjust your bike prior to use may result in an accident result-
ing in death, serious injury and/or property damage. If you are uncertain about any aspect of
the assembly and adjustment of your bike, seek help from a qualied mechanic or the KUBERG
Customer Service.
1Remove your KUBERG bike from the box.
2Lower kickstand and place your KUBERG on a solid & level surface.
3Remove all the packing materials.
4Using the supplied Allen wrench, make sure the steering stem is in the forward facing posi-
tion and tighten the top and side bolts securely and evenly. Secure the handlebars tightly in
the steering stem. Double check tightness and alignment.
5Adjust the brake lever positions to suit the rider.
FIRST SETUP
1 Check tire pressure of both tires and conrm they are properly inated. The optimal tire
pressure for Kuberg Start/Trial E/Cross is 35-40 PSI (2.4–2.8 bar) for general use and should
never exceed 50 PSI (3.4 bar).
2Unpack charger from its box and charge the batteries, make sure to follow the correct
charging procedure. Go to page xxx to nd detailed charging instructions.
3Compress each brake lever. The lever should not compress completely to the handlebar.
Each individual brake should hold the bike securely when you push the motorcycle against
the brake. If your brake needs adjustment, follow the instructions on page xxx. For begin-
ner riders adjust the front brake so it will not lock the front wheel easily. All riders should be
aware which lever operates which brake.
4Check the chain for tightness and lubrication.
5Setup up power and speed settings to an adequate level to the rider’s experience and riding
skills. Go to page xxx to nd detailed instructions how to set up top speed limits and dier-
ent riding modes.
