Liability Disclaimer
Riding any kind of ebike comes along with some risks which can’t be predicted or avoided. By
choosing to ride an ebike, you assume the responsibility for that risk. Taking proper care of ebike
components can lower the risk of sudden failure of components but cannot prevent it. These sudden
failures could cause serious harm, injury or death to the rider. If you notice abnormalities in any
component on the ebike, please take it to a licensed mechanic to be repaired or replaced immediate-
ly. You are responsible for your own actions while using an electric bike. MAPTEC Inc. (vBike) is not
responsible/nor liable for any accidents or injuries or death (whether caused by you or others) that
may occur during your use. We recommend contacting your insurance provider to determine if your
current insurance policy would cover you in the event of an accident.
Do Not Engage in Extreme Riding
Bikes and ebike parts have strength and integrity limitations. Extreme riding, such as jumping,
stunting, etc., can damage ebike components and face the rider with serious injury or death. As
electric bikes are heavier and faster than normal bikes, the rider should pay more caution and care
while riding."
Riding in wet conditions
The vBike Electric Bikes can stand up to light rain showers without sustaining damage. However, the
ebike and its mechanical and electrical components are not waterproof. We do not recommend
storing or using the ebike in wet conditions if it is not absolutely necessary. It is recommended not
to ride at wet condition unless when it is necessary. In Wet condition the rider should consider
decreasing speed and increasing braking distances. Feet or hands can slip in wet conditions and
cause serious injury or death. The warranty for the vBike Electric Bikes does not cover water
damage, salt damage and corrosion.
Riding at Night
It is recommended not to ride at night unless when it is necessary. Riding at night have more risks
than riding during the day as a result of decreased visibility so riders are encouraged to exercise
increased caution. Before riding at night, you need to check that reflectors are installed on your ebike
and the front headlight and rear taillight are turned on and adjusted so other people on the road can
see them obviously. It is suggested to wear bright clothing at night if possible.
Street Legality
Under Canadian regulations, ebikes sold by MAPTEC Inc. (vBike) in Canada are street legal. PLEASE
NOTE, it is important for you to check your local laws to ensure that you are riding legally and safely.
For technical assistance or warranty claims contact vBike at support @vbike.ca "
Max Weight
The max weight that the bike can safely carry is a total weight of 330 lbs. If the rear rack is attached
to the bike the max weight it can hold is 55 lbs. So, in the case of loading for example 40 lbs. on rear
rack, maximum rider weight could be 290 lbs. Failure to adhere to these weight limits may result in
damage to the bike, the rack, or cause serious injury to the rider.
Avoid riding an ebike while you are under the influence of
alcohol, drugs or any other substance or condition which
could weaken your motor functions and judgement (like
other vehicles).
