Use only the lithium-ion battery and
charger specified by the manufacturer.
Charge the battery within operating
temperature range of 32° to 113° F [0° to
45° C]. Charge the battery before use if
unused for more than one month.
WARNING
A damaged battery can leak electrolyte.
Contact with electrolyte can cause
serious chemical burns or blindness. If
electrolyte comes in contact with eyes,
skin, or clothing rinse affected area with
clean water and seek medical attention
immediately.
Wet Weather Riding
WARNING
When riding on wet roads, brake
efficiency and traction are greatly
4
reduced, resulting in increased braking
distances. Failure to use care when
braking, accelerating, or turning on wet
roads can cause loss of control, which
could result in death or serious injury.
Rider Visibility
Riding an eBicycle at night or in other poor
visibility conditions is more dangerous than
riding during the day. A bicyclist can be
difficult for motorists and pedestrians to
see. If you are going to ride in those
conditions, consult a qualified service
provider about equipment that improves
your ability to see and be seen by others.

WARNING
The Consumer Product Safety
Commission requires eBicycles to be
equipped with front, rear, pedal, and
side reflectors. Be sure reflectors are
properly mounted. Poor visibility of
rider to motorists can result in death or
serious injury.
eBicycle reflectors are designed to reflect
vehicle lights and streetlights to help be
seen and recognized as a moving bicyclist.
Check reflectors and mounting brackets
regularly to make sure that they are clean,
straight, unbroken, and securely mounted.
Replace damaged reflectors and straighten
or tighten any that are bent or loose.
When riding under conditions of poor
visibility, check and be sure you comply
with all local laws about night riding, and
take these additional precautions:
-
Wear light colored, reflective clothing
and accessories, such as a reflective
vest, reflective arm and leg bands,
reflective stripes on your helmet, or
flashing lights attached to your body
and/or your eBicycle.
-
Verify clothing or anything you may be
carrying on the eBicycle does not
obstruct a reflector or lamp.
