"

safety, performance, and comfort. Even if you have the experience, skill, and
tools to complete these essential steps before your first ride, Ariel Rider E-
bikes recommends having a certified, reputable bike mechanic check your
work.

fit, Ariel Rider E-bikes highly recommends having a certified, reputable bike mechanic
complete these procedures as well as any future adjustments or tuning.
NOTICE: A critical aspect of assembling your bike from Ariel Rider E-bikes is securing the
front wheel and checking the tightness of the rear wheel axle nuts. Both wheels need to
be properly secured before operating your bike, and these nuts are to be checked every
45-50 miles.!

Mandatory Equipment and Use Locations
Before all rides, ensure you have all required and recommended safety
equipment and are following all laws pertaining to using an electric bike in your
region. For example, these laws may specify the need for mandatory equipment,
use of hand signals, and where you can ride.
Changing Components or Attaching Accessories
The use of non-original components or spare parts can jeopardize the
safety of your Kepler, void your warranty and, in some cases, cause your Kepler
to not conform with laws pertaining to your bike.
The replacement of original components or installation of third-party
accessories or accessories from Ariel Rider E-bikes not explicitly
recommended for your bike model, is at your own risk. Using aftermarket

Safety Check Before Each Ride"
Always check the condition of your bike before you ride in addition to having
regular maintenance performed. If you are unsure of how to conduct a complete check of
the condition of your bike before every ride, you should consult a certified, reputable bike
mechanic for assistance. See the Pre-Ride Safety Checklist for more information. Make
sure to check your motor cable is not hanging loose and/or rubbing any of the moving
parts. Failure to do so may end up damaging the motor cable which is not repairable,
and will result in needing to replace the motor itself, which is not covered under warranty.
Electrical System"
The electrical system on your Kepler offers various levels of power assistance
and lighting for different operating conditions and user preferences. It is critical that
you familiarize yourself with all aspects of your Kepler’s electrical system and check
to see that it is working correctly before every ride. The front and rear brake levers
contain safety power cutoff switches, which disable the hub motor’s assistance
when applied, and both levers should be checked for correct operation. The throttle
should provide smooth acceleration when gradually applied. If the throttle, brake
lever cutoff switches, pedal assistance, or lighting is not functioning normally,
