Rider CONDUCT
• Always assume you are invisible to all other road users, regardless
of the lights and reflectors you may have. Your life depends on it.
• Share the road or path with others: motorists, pedestrians, and
cyclists alike. Respect their rights and try to be forgiving if they
infringe on yours. Remember, you’re probably the smallest vehicle
on the road.
• Ride defensively. You, and only you, are responsible for the safe
operation of your vehicle.
• Constantly scan from 15 feet in front of you to 200 feet ahead of
where you are, so you may anticipate and be ready to avoid road
surface hazards as well as other vehicles. Such hazards include:
vehicles slowing or turning in front of you, entering the road
ahead, or coming up behind you, car doors opening in front of
you, pedestrians stepping out in front of you, children or dogs
playing near the road, potholes, sewer gratings, railroad tracks,
expansion joints, road or sidewalk construction, debris and other
road hazards that could cause you to swerve, catch a wheel, lose
traction, or otherwise have a crash.
• Always signal when turning and stopping.
• Ride in a calm, smooth, predictable manner. Don’t weave through
traic or make sudden moves that may startle, provoke, or require
evasive action from other road users or pedestrians.
• Never hitch a ride by holding on to another vehicle.

Charging INFO
• USE ONLY M8-Tech approved charger to charge your bike!
DO NOT plug an ordinary power cable directly into the
charging socket on the bike.
• Aer each ride, let bike rest for 10 minutes before plugging
in charger—this will prolong the life of the battery
• Plug Charger to wall socket—the charger light will be RED.
Plug charger into bike; light will remain RED until charged.
If you plug Charger into bike and the light flashes GREEN
and RED, there is an error in the system, or the battery has
failed.
• Once battery is charged, and the charger light is green,
unplug charger and store in cool safe place.
• Risk of overheating: Maintain air-flow around the charger
at all times. DO NOT enclose it in a storage compartment
or other unventilated space when charging. The charger is
designed for indoor / dry-area use only.
• DO NOT expose charger to water. If absolutely necessary,
place the charger on a raised area and drape the bike with
its cover allowing for suicient ventilation to protect the
bike and charger during adverse weather. You do so at your
own risk.
