1. Safety Notes
1.1 Personal Safety:
It is the owner’s/rider’s responsibility to properly assemble the e-bike and inspect all components and ensure
all nuts and bolts are tightened for safety or to trust a qualified 3rd party to do so. This is critical for safety
on this e-bike.
Do not operate the bike until you have read and understand all sections of the entire manual. There are
important safety warning throughout the whole manual that must be followed to prevent dangerous
situations, accidents, and possibly injury and/or death.
This e-bike is only intended for use on paved roads or designated e-bike paths. Using the e-bike for any other
purpose may result in serious injury. Before you ride this e-bike, practice riding in a safe area free of hazard
and take time to learn the e-bike’s controls and power.
Be sure to understand and follow all local laws and regulations, and changes to the same.
Have maintenance/repairs done by a qualified bicycle mechanic.
Never use/ride any Ride1Up bike product in ways precluded by the manufacturer and the laws of your state
and local municipality. It is your responsibility to comply the laws in which you are operating the e-bike. Laws
vary depending on location in which you operate the bike. Failure to do so could cause death, serious
personal injury, property damage and/or a violation of the law.
Obey all rules of the road and local traffic laws. Respect motorists, pedestrians, and other cyclist.
At night, when visibility is low, your e-bike MUST have white front lights and red rear lights lit. It MUST also
be fitted with a red rear reflector and amber pedal reflectors. Use caution when loading your e-bike into a
car or when mounting it on a bicycle carrier. You must avoid damaging the wires of the electrical
components during riding, transporting, and storing your electric bike. Failure to do so could cause death,
serious personal injury, property damage and/or a violation of the law.
The top speed of this ebike is 28mph on pedal assist. Speed laws vary depending on location in which you
operate the bike. All riders ride at their own risk. It is your responsibility to comply the rules, laws and
regulations in which you are operating the e-bike. Failure to do so could cause death, serious personal injury,
property damage and/or a violation of the law.

1.2 E-bike Safety:
You must be eighteen (18) years old or over to ride this e-bike. Your e-bike is designed for a maximum
permitted overall weight (rider + passenger + cargo) of 350 lbs. Do not exceed carrying capacity as this may
compromise the integrity of the bike and could cause death, serious personal injury, and/or property
damage. Your bike must be inspected or assembled by someone experienced with bike mechanics prior to
use. Proper assembly and inspection of all nuts and bolts are vital for safety and for your warranty coverage
as damages due to improper assembly are not covered under warranty. Improper assembly of critical
components could lead to serious injury and or death. Do not submerge your e-bike in water as this may
damage the electrical and mechanical components of the e-bike and could cause death, serious personal
injury, and/or property. Be aware that the speed at which you are traveling may be faster than you are used
to, especially when accelerating.
Throttle should be gradually applied for a smooth acceleration. If you feel that the throttle, pedal assist, or
brake levers are abnormally functioning, such as jerky acceleration, brakes not stopping the bike etc. please
stop using your ebike immediately and contact our Customer Support Department or review our Support
Library for troubleshooting steps.
The rear rack on the RIFT has a maximum weight capacity of 150 lbs. Do not exceed the max weight capacity
as this may compromise the integrity of the bike and could cause death, serious personal injury and/or
property damage.
Whenever riding with a passenger, it is important to practice extra caution and not exceed speeds of
15 MPH and the maximum weight capacity for the rack of 150 lbs. Not following these limits could cause
death, serious personal injury, and/or property damage.
1.3 Electrical Safety:
Only use the charger supplied by Ride1UP and never tamper or modify the charger in any way. Do not
leave the e-bike or battery plugged into a wall outlet unattended. Unplug the battery before leaving the bike
alone. The charger has been designed for a specific voltage and should not be tampered with in any way.
Always check that the outlet’s voltage is the same as that stated on the rating label. A charger that is suitable
for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack; never use the
charger with another e-bike or attempt to charge this product with another charger.
Before use, check the charger cord for signs of damage such as exposed wires or tears in the cable lining.
A damaged or entangled charger cord increases the risk of fire and electric shock. Keep the charger cord
at least 6ft away from hot surfaces and sharp edges. Do not handle the charger with wet hands as it could
cause death, serious personal injury, and/or property damage. Do not store or charge the e-bike outdoors.
The charger must be removed from the socket before removing the battery, cleaning or maintaining the e-
bike because this creates potential for electrical damage and/or injuries.

1.4 Brake Safety:
Regularly check your brakes for signs of wear and tear and functionality such as a reduction in
breaking power. Before every ride, quickly test your brakes by walking next to the e-bike and engaging the
brakes assuring they are properly working. Visibly check your brakes to ensure there is no damage such as
cracks and breaks. Failure to do so could cause death, serious personal injury, and/or property damage.
Any worn parts must be repaired or replaced immediately. Be careful while getting used to the brakes. Never
brake with only your front brake. Practice emergency stops in a place clear of traffic until you are
comfortable controlling your e-bike. Wet weather reduces your braking power and the grip of the brakes.
Reduce your speed and be aware of longer stopping distances when cycling in wet conditions. Braking on
unpaved surfaces will differ. Be sure to practice braking on different surface types. Ensure that braking
surfaces and brake pads are free of wax, grease and oil. Do not pedal and brake at the same time as this
will cause excessive wear.
1.5 Maintenance:
Make sure all screws, nuts and bolts are tightened securely before riding. Failure to do so could cause
death, serious personal injury, and/or property damage. Many parts on your e-bike are subject to a higher
degree of wear due to their function and depending on their use such as brakes, tires, pedals etc. Have your
e-bike checked regularly at a professional bike shop and have any worn parts replaced. Depending on the
level and extent of use, regularly can mean as much as once a week, and as little as twice a year. It is the
rider’s/owner’s responsibility to ensure the e-bike is safe to ride at all times.
Ensure the battery is removed from the bike before carrying out any maintenance. You must always use
genuine replacement parts when performing maintenance on your e-bike. Regularly check the tire pressures
(See sidewall of your tire for correct psi range) and regularly check the tread depth of tires.
After an accident or crash you must take your e-bike to a bike repair specialist to make sure that it is
safe to ride. Be aware that damage may not be visible. Failure to do so could cause death, serious personal
injury, property damage and/or a violation of the law.
Any form of crack, scratches or change of coloring in highly stressed areas indicate that the life expectancy
of the part has been reached and it should be replaced immediately.
1.6 Additional Warnings:
Routine maintenance checks are required on your e-bike. Check all important connections, brake
functionality, and ensure axle nuts are secured before riding. Failure to do so could cause death, serious
personal injury, and/or property damage.

It is recommended to not ride at night when visibility conditions are low if avoidable. Riding is more
dangerous than riding during the day. Do not ride your bike at night without properly functioning front head
lights and rear taillights. Wear reflective and light-colored clothing. Failure to do so may result in serious
injury and/or death.
The e-bike is intended for use by those at least eighteen years of age. Use by anyone below the age of
eighteen is prohibited. Riders must have the physical condition, reaction time, and mental capacity to ride
safely and manage traffic, road conditions, sudden situations, and respect the laws governing electric bike
use where they are ride. If you have an impairment or disability such as a visual impairment, hearing
impairment, physical impairment, cognitive/language impairment, or a seizure disorder, consult your
physician before riding any bike.
Have installation/assembly checked by a professional bike mechanic or completed entirely by a bike
mechanic prior to riding. All bolts and nuts should be checked. Failure to do so could result in serious injury
and/or death.
When operating your e-bike: Do not wear earplugs, headphones, headsets, or use a cell phone while
riding. Never hitch rides on other vehicles. Never hold an item which interferes with your grip on the
handlebars & never be under the influence of alcohol or drugs while riding.
ALWAYS wear a helmet when riding your e-bike. Wear appropriate shoes, eye protection, and avoid
loose clothing. Wear reflective clothing and gear when visibility is diminished. Failure to do so may result in
serious injury and/or death.
1.6 Additional Warnings (Continued):
It is your obligation to check all applicable laws for bicycle rules governing operation, equipment, use and
appropriate places for operation. Do not exceed local speed restrictions. Maintain your brakes such that you
can at least execute a one-braked-wheel skid on dry, level, clean pavement.
Never configure your e-bike such that the handlebars are higher than a rider's shoulders because this will
reduce the rider’s ability to steer and control the e-bike. In addition to front and rear reflectors, you must also
ensure that the e-bike is equipped with side reflectors. Never ride your e-bike without the seat provided with
the e-bike.
This e-bike is not meant for downhill riding or rocky trails. The e-bike is for paved or smooth surfaces only.
Do not ride your e-bike in unsafe weather conditions or when the road surface is comprised, with ice,
snow, water, sand, loose gravel or anything else that could cause a loss of traction. Failure to follow this rule
may result in serious injury and/or death.

It is recommended to not ride in wet weather. Wet weather impairs visibility, braking and traction of the ebike
and affects others sharing the road. Accidents increase in wet weather conditions.
Keep your e-bike and packaging materials such as plastics, foam, and cardboard away from children.
Lithium-Ion batteries can be extremely dangerous if stored or used improperly. Please learn proper
care of your battery at http://batteryuniversity.com/. Damage to your lithium battery from misuse could
result in serious injury, hazardous smoke and fires, and/or death. Do not ride if the battery pack is visibly
damaged.
Special precautions must be taken if you transport your e-bike with you during air travel, or if shipped by air
courier. Be sure to follow all requirements of airlines and air couriers regarding lithium batteries if you take
your e-bike with you during air travel, or if you ship your e-bike by air courier.
Always be aware of the traffic around you. Keep a lookout for obstacles in your path and in your
surroundings.
Never operate a bike while under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or any substance or condition that
could impair motor functions, judgement, or the ability to safely operate a bike.
