1. ABOUT THIS MANUAL

WHYYOU SHOULD READ THIS MANUAL

This manual was written to help you get the most

performance, comfort, enjoyment and safety when riding

your new Mini-E-Bike™.The manual describes specific care

and maintenance procedures that help protect your warranty

and ensure years of trouble free use. Please pay particular

attention to the section on battery charging and

maintenance.

It is important for you to understand your new Mini-E-Bike™,

its features and its operation, so you get maximum

enjoyment with maximum safety. By reading this manual

before you go on your first ride, you’ll know how to get the

most from your new Mini-E-Bike™.

It is also important that your first ride on a new Mini-E-Bike™

be taken in a controlled environment, away from cars,

obstacles, and other cyclists.

GENERAL WARNING:

Cycling can be a hazardous activity even under the best of

circumstances.Proper maintenance of your Mini-E-Bike™ is

your responsibility as it helps reduce the risk of injury. This

manual contains many "Warnings" and "Cautions"

concerning the consequences of failure to maintain or

inspect your Mini-E-Bike™. Many of the Warnings and

Cautions say "you may lose control and fall". Because any

fall can result in serious injury or even death, we do not

repeat the warning of possible injury or death whenever the

risk of falling is mentioned.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

Your Mini-E-Bike™ can provide many years of service, fun

and fitness - if you take responsibility for your own safety.

Understand the features of your Mini-E-Bike™ and become

aware of the challenges that you will meet on the road.There

is much that you can do to protect yourself while riding. We

will offer many recommendations and safety tips throughout

this manual. The following are those that we feel are most

important.

Always Wear A Helmet!

Helmets significantly reduce the number and severity of head

injuries. Always wear a helmet that complies with your state

laws when riding the Mini-E-Bike™. Check with your local

police department for requirements in your community. Do

not wear loose fitting clothing that can become tangled in the

moving parts of the Mini-E-Bike™. Wear sturdy shoes and

eye protection. Also check your state laws concerning other

protective gear that may be required when riding the Mini-E-

Bike™.

WARNING:

Not wearing a helmet significantly increases the chance of

serious injury or death in a crash. Always wear a helmet, eye

protection and appropriate apparel when you ride.

Know your Mini-E-Bike™!

Your new Mini-E-Bike™ incorporates many features and

functions that have never been built into a bicycle before.

Read this manual thoroughly to understand how those

features enhance your riding pleasure and safety.

Ride Defensively!

One of the most frequent cycling accidents occurs when the

driver of a parked car opens his door into a rider’s path.

Another common occurrence is when a car or another cyclist

moves suddenly into your path. Always be aware of other

vehicles around you. Do not assume that the driver or the

other cyclist sees you. Be prepared to take evasive action or

stop suddenly.

Make Yourself Easy To See!

Make yourself more visible by wearing bright reflective

clothing. Keep your reflectors clean and properly aligned.

Signal your intentions so that drivers and other cyclists can

anticipate your actions.

Ride WithinYour Limits!

Take it slow until you are familiar with the riding conditions

that you encounter. Be especially careful in wet conditions as

traction can be greatly reduced and brakes less effective.

Never ride faster than conditions warrant or beyond your

riding abilities. Remember that alcohol, drugs, fatigue and

inattention can significantly reduce your ability to make good

judgements and ride safely.

KeepYour Mini-E-Bike™ In Safe Condition

Follow the inspection and maintenance guidelines beginning

on page 3. Check critical safety equipment before each and

every ride.

Know The Law

Cyclists are required to follow the rules of the road.

Additionally, some communities regulate the use of

motorized bicycles regarding minimum age requirements and

necessary equipment. Check with your local police

department for specific details.

Offroad Riding

Offroad riding is not recommended because the Mini-E-

Bike™ tires are for street use only. Dust and extreme impacts

from offroad riding can cause electrical system problems.

INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE

For your safety and enjoyment and to insure a long life for

your Mini-E-Bike™, inspect and maintain your Mini-E-Bike™

regularly. Use the table below for guidance. It is very

important that you check certain systems and components

before each and every ride. The proper condition and

function of these systems is critically important for your

safety.

Your Mini-E-Bike™ should be returned to your servicing

dealer at least once a year for a complete and thorough

inspection and tune up. If a problem arises that is not

described below, discontinue riding the Mini-E-Bike™ and

return it to your servicing dealer immediately. For more

information about service and maintenance, please refer to
