1. IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Do not operate this bicycle without carefully reading the manual and
understanding how to operate the bicycle.
Wear your helmet, gloves and other protective gear while riding to
protect yourself from injury in case of an accident. We recommend
wearing bright or reflective clothes when riding at night.
Observe traffic rules and regulations when using this bicycle.
Passengers should not be carried. When riding in rainy, snowy or
slippery conditions reduce your speed and increase the distance
between yourself and other vehicles.
Your insurance policies may not provide coverage for accidents
involving the use of this bicycle, to determine if coverage is provided
you should contact you insurance agent.
Charge the battery in a dry place and ensure there is sufficient
ventilation. Neither the battery nor the charger should be covered
during the charging process. Heat can be created during the charging
process and this has to be able to escape, otherwise this could lead to
a danger of overheating or a possible fire hazard. We recommend
charging under supervision or with the user present. Only use an
Erikson specified charger to charge the battery.
If planning to store the battery for a long time without use, make sure
to charge it before storing. The battery is best preserved in a cool and
dry environment. It also needs to be charged once a month if it will be
stored for several months.
The bicycle should not be left out in the rain for a long time or
submerged; if water enters into the controller and motor wheel, it may
cause short circuit and damage the electrical components.
Keep appropriate air pressure inside the tires, so as to avoid
increased friction when riding, as low air pressure may easily wear
·the
tires, deform the rim, reduce range and increase the chance of flats.
When riding at high speed or downhill, use the rear brake to avoid
the center of gravity from moving ahead, as using only the front brake
may result in a shift in the center of gravity and may be dangerous.
Do not alter any components on the bicycle. Any changes to the
bicycle not approved by Erikson will nullify the warranty on the
manufacturer’s side and may result in damage or injury.
