VEHICLE SAFE RIDING
SAFE RIDING RULES
WARNING Vehicle riding requires special efforts on your part to ensure safety. Know these requirements
before you ride.
●Always make a pre-ride inspection before you start the engine. You may prevent accident or equipment damage.
●Most countries require a special vehicle riding test or license. Make sure you are qualified before you ride. NEVER
lend your vehicle to an inexperienced rider.
●Make yourself conspicuous to help avoid the accident that wasn’t your fault:
●Wear bright or reflective clothing.
●Don’t ride in another motorist’s “blind spot”.
●Don’t speedily cross another’s way.
●Obey all national and local laws and regulations.
●Obey the speed limits, and NEVER travel faster than conditions warrant.
●Signal before you make a turn or lane change to draw other motorist’s attention.
●Use extra caution at intersections, parking lot entrances and exits.
●Always remember to ride with both hands and keep both feet on the rider footrest while the passenger grasps the handrail with both
feet on the rear footrest.
PROTECTIVE CLOTHS
●For the safety sake, always wear a helmet, a face shield, dust glasses and protective clothing. Your passenger needs the
same protection.
●The exhaust system becomes hot during operation, and it remains hot for a while after stopping the engine. Take care
not to touch the exhaust system while it is hot. Wear clothing that fully covers your legs.
●Do not wear loose clothing that could catch on the control levers, wheels, etc.

REFITTING
WARNING Arbitrarily refitting the vehicle or removing the original parts may make riding unsafe, and is
illegal also. The user must obey all national and local laws and regulations in relation to vehicle and traffic. If you
have a good proposal concerning refitting of the motorcycle, please write us. The refitment can be done with
permission of the Co. Otherwise, the user will take the consequences.
LOADING
WARNING Addition of accessories and cargo may reduce the vehicle’s stability, performance and safe
operating speed.
●Keep cargo and accessory weight lower and close to the center of the vehicle. Load weight equally on both sides to
minimize imbalance. As weight is located further from the vehicle’s center of gravity, handling is proportionally
affected.
●Adjust tyre pressure and rear suspension to suit load weight and riding conditions.
●Make sure that cargo is fastened on the vehicle.
●Do not attach items to the handlebars, fork or fender. Otherwise, unstable handling or slow steering response may
occur.
●The maximum load weight of the motorcycle is 150kg. Please do not overload.
ACCESSORIES
Genuine accessories of LIFAN Vehicles have been specifically designed and tested on the motorcycle. Because the
factory cannot test all other accessories, you are personally responsible for selection, installation and use of accessories
not produced by the Co. Always follow Safe Riding Rules and these below:
●Carefully inspect the accessory to make sure that it does not obscure any lights, reduce ground clearance or banking
angle, or limit suspension travel, steering travel or control operation.
●Do not add electrical equipment that will exceed the vehicle’s electrical system capacity.

MAINTENANCE OF LITHIUM BATTERY
Battery capacity will gradually decrease as the use of time and mileage increases. The correct use and
maintenance can effectively extend the life of the battery.
1. Please charge lithium battery fully before first using newly purchased electric motorcycle. First requirement
when using battery recharged again after use controller under-voltage protection. Pay attention as follows:
charging the battery for first 5 times should be not less than 8 hours, but not more than 12 hours. When charging,
bear in mind that the charger operation method.
2. The battery should be fixed reliably to avoid damaging. Never throw, roll and weight the battery when
transferring it.
3. Keep the battery dry, clean to prevent the self-discharge too much.
4. Avoid losing electricity for a long time. As a rule, charge the battery in time after using the vehicle every day.
During long-term storage of vehicle, remove the battery from the vehicle, and charge it, then put it in a cool and

dry place（-10℃~25℃. Then recharge it（after stored for 10~15days）. The optimized electric quantity of lithium
battery for storage is 50%. If the electric quantity is less than 10% or more than 90% for long-term storage, the
battery capacity will fade irreversibly.
5. To protect the battery from damage, slowly start the vehicle to avoid instantaneous discharging too much.
6. Battery discharges to the termination voltage, and continue to discharge, called as over-discharge. Pay
attention to not let the battery discharge during riding. In order to maximize the life of the battery, charge it when
the battery discharged to 50%.
7. Battery applicable ambient temperature: 15-45 ℃. Optimum charging environment: 25 ℃.
Reduce temperature of battery as far as possible when charging battery temperature, ensure
good heat dissipation, and away from heat source.
8. Avoid large current discharging for a long time. Prevent it from exposure in the sun.
9. After discharge of the lithium battery, charge it in time. Do not put discharged battery over
12 hours.
NOTE Please dispose of used battery in a manner that is compatible with the environment.
We suggest you take it to local recycling center or service station for reclamation. Do not throw it in the rubbish.
