TIPS FOR DRIVING AN E-BIKE
Cycling with electric bike requires a little practice :
In the beginning, practice in a place with enough space around you and if possible without
trafc or pedestrians. You will be able to familiarise yourself with driving with assistance,
control the braking behavior and know how to change gears.
Practice turns more specically. Stop pedaling in time before the curves. Do not start peda
ling too soon after, otherwise the engine accelerates while you are still in the bend.
Try all the speeds and observe the acceleration compared to the selected speed.
At rst, drive on level 1 or 2, the engine does not accelerate as hard and you save battery.
The battery life is even greater when you pedal with a low level of assistance.
Never attempt to activate the battery and engine while driving. You risk an accident and the
engine will be damaged.
Do not forget when planning a route, that the bike (because of its reinforced construction,
components, engine and battery) will have a greater weight than a normal bike. If stairs or
obstacles are on the itinerary, get help to carry the bike.
Because of its weight, braking distances can be longer than with a conventional bike. It
must be taken into account.
Of course, you can use the bike without assistance at any time.
Although wearing the helmet is not mandatory for adults, it is advisable to wear one to
prevent any accident.
