RULES FOR SAFE RIDING
You must ensure that you understand the safe operation of this bike and follow all traffic, bike laws and
regulations in the area in which the bike is being operated. These may include rules regarding helmets,
reflectors, and lights. A few important general rules for riding include but are not limited to:
- Wear a helmet that meets ASTM or CPSC safety testing requirements.
- Have reflectors and lights installed on your bike
- Use proper hand signals
- Avoid loose clothing
- Ride on the correct side of the road with flow of traffic
- Always wear brightly colored and reflective clothing
- Ride single file if riding with others

5
- Obey all traffic laws and regulations
- Watch for parked car doors opening unexpectedly
- Watch for pedestrians stepping out, pets and children playing near roadways
- Never carry a passenger
- Never ride with earbuds or headphones
- Always obey traffic signals
- Use caution when crossing railroad tracks and carefully cross at a 90 degree angle
- Mount a horn or bell on to your bike to signal others of your approach
- Before riding fast or in more difficult conditions, try riding at slower speeds in a flat, open area to test the
function and performance features of your bike.
Wet Weather Conditions
Use extra caution when riding in wet weather. Your brake stopping power will be diminished in wet conditions
no matter what type of brake system you have; all are affected by wet weather. To ensure you can stop safely
in wet conditions, ride more cautiously and slowly and brake earlier than you would in normal road and
weather conditions. Never ride in storms with high winds and lightning.
Check the Lights and Reflectors
Make sure the reflectors are mounted in the proper position and they do not have any cracks or visible
damage. All lighting should be inspected to be sure they have fresh batteries and work properly.
Check Frame, Fork, and Components
If you notice that the frame or fork has any visible damage, cracks, dents, or you hear any unusual noises while
riding or other problems, do not ride your bike. If at any time you notice a shimmy or wobble immediately
slow down and take your bike to your local bike shop for inspection and/or repair. Carefully inspect your bike
before and after each ride. Certain types of impacts can affect the components of your bike and cause them to
fail unexpectedly. After any impact or crash, thoroughly inspect all the parts of your bike for damage. A crash
or other impact can put extraordinary stress on the bike. An impact or high force is any situation such as
hitting a hole or obstacle in the road, such as a bump or curb.
A BIKE IS A MECHANICAL DEVICE. MATERIALS AND MECHANISMS ARE SUBJECT TO FATIGUE AND STRESS.
OVER TIME, COMPONENTS CAN FAIL ONCE THEY HAVE EXCEEDED THEIR USEFUL LIMITS AND LIFE. PRODUCT
LIFE IS OFTEN RELATED TO THE KIND OF TREATMENT AND RIDING YOU SUBMIT YOUR BIKE TO. HARD AND
AGGRESSIVE RIDING ALONG WITH NEGLECT WILL SHORTEN THE PROJECTED LIFESPAN OF YOUR BIKE AND
ITS COMPONENTS. IF NOT PROPERLY MAINTANIED, YOUR BIKE AND ITS COMPONENTS CAN FAIL CAUSING
SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.

6
Night Riding and Poor Visibility
Riding at dawn, dusk, during poor visibility or night riding is extremely dangerous. Your reflectors are not a
substitute for the required bike lights. Motorists and pedestrians may not be able to see a bicyclist during poor
visibility conditions. Consult your local bike shop for night riding equipment if you choose to accept the risk of
riding during these conditions.
RIDING A BICYCLE IN LOW LIGHT CONDITIONS WITHOUT PROPER LIGHTING AND REFLECTORS ATTACHED TO
YOUR BIKE IMPAIRS YOUR ABILITY TO SEE AND BE SEEN BY OTHER MOTORIST OR PEDESTRIANS. THIS
GREATLY INCREASES THE CHANCE YOU WILL BE INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT THAT COULD LEAD TO SERIOUS
INJURY OR DEATH. USE A LIGHT ON THE FRONT AND REAR OF YOUR BIKE AND BE SURE ALL REFLECTORS
ARE IN PLACE BEFORE RIDING IN LOW LIGHT CONDITIONS.
Unsafe Riding
While not all accidents can be avoided the list below outlines a few examples of things that can decrease your
risk of serious injury or death.
- Pay attention and avoid distractions while riding
- Always maintain both hands on the handlebars
- Avoid bike stunts and/or aggressive riding
- When carrying gear make sure it is securely attached to your bike and/or rack
- Never strap or latch any item to your bike in an area not designed to carry gear
- Never carry a passenger while riding
- Avoid riding in mud, if possible, mud may cause loss of traction resulting in loss of control of your bike
CERTAIN TYPES OF RIDING SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASE STRESSES AND ABNORMAL WEAR AND TEAR ON YOUR
BIKE. THESE ARE JUST A FEW TYPES OF RIDING THAT CAN ADVERSELY AFFECT YOUR SAFTY AND LIFESPAN
OF YOUR BICYCLE AND COMPONENTS, SUCH AS COMPETITION OR STUNT RIDING, DOWNHILL
RACING/RIDING, or JUMPING YOUR BIKE.
Avoid riding too fast
Higher speeds create higher risks and greater forces in the event of a crash. At higher speeds, it is more likely
that wheels will slip, or that a small bump can create a significant impact to your frame or fork. Always keep
your bicycle under control. For children, the limit of speed for safe riding is much lower, so parents should
strictly enforce this rule.

Off-Road or Backcountry Riding
Always use special care when riding off-road or in remote areas. If you are unfamiliar with off-road riding start
out on moderate terrain and slowly build your skills until you are confident you can ride on trails and
unimproved roads. Remember, always keep your bike under control and never attempt an obstacle that is
beyond your skill level. Riding at an increased speed in rough conditions greatly increase your risk of serious
injury or death.
Special Considerations for Remote Areas
- While riding on rough terrain even if only a short distance, share your destination and route with another
adult
- Never ride alone in remote areas
- Carry a signaling device such as a whistle, cell phone, or 2-way radio
- Take identification and emergency food and drink with you
- Wear appropriate clothing and safety gear for the type of riding you plan
- Carry a first aid kit
Respect local regulations and rules / Private Property
Remember each area in which you can ride your bike may have specific regulations. Always respect private
property and never trespass. Respect the rights of others you may be sharing the trail with. i.e.: hikers,
cyclists, equestrians. Stay on your designated trail and do not destroy vegetation and minimize your impact on
the environment. If you are unsure of your local laws or regulations, please contact your local conservation
officer before riding on designated wildlife areas.
A BIKE, LIKE ANY MECHANICAL DEVICE, IS SUBJECT TO FATIGUE, STRESS AND WEAR. OVER TIME AND DUE
TO USE, THE FRAME AND ITS COMPONENTS CAN FAIL. THE ENVIRONMENT AND TYPE OF RIDING THE BIKE IS
SUBJECT TO, CAN GREATLY REDUCE ITS USEFUL LIFESPAN. IF PROPER CARE AND MAINTENANCE ARE NOT
PREFORMED YOUR BIKE AND/OR ITS COMPONENTS CAN FAIL CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
GENERAL RIDING INFORMATION
Once you have inspected your bike and all components are in proper working condition, you are ready to test
ride your new bike. A few important general rules for riding include but are not limited to:
- Strap on your helmet that meets ASTM or CPSC safety testing requirements
− Have reflectors and lights installed on your bike
− Use proper hand signals
− Avoid loose clothing

− Use caution when crossing railroad tracks and carefully cross at a 90 degree angle
− Mount a horn or bell on to your bike to signal others of your approach.
Braking: Your bike is equipped with two hand brakes. One hand brake operates the front brake and the other
operates the rear. Take time to familiarize yourself with which hand brake stops each wheel. You can
complete this task by spinning the front wheel and squeezing each brake lever one at a time to determine
which one stops the wheel from spinning; this would be your front brake.
When preparing to slow down or stop, gently apply both front and rear hand brakes at the same time being
careful not to over apply the front brake which could cause you to lose control and fall. Before riding your bike
for the first time please follow the "Brake Burn in Procedure" in your owner’s packet. Replacement Pads and
Rotors are available from Rambo Bikes. Always replace pads and rotors at the same time to ensure maximum
performance and lifetime.
AVOID APPLYING SUDDEN OR EXCESSIVE FORCE TO THE FRONT BRAKE SYSEM. DOING THIS CAN CAUSE
YOUR FRONT WHEEL TO LOCK UP AND YOUR REAR WHEEL COULD LIFT UP AND LOSE CONTACT WITH THE
GROUND. SLIDE YOUR WEIGHT BACK ON THE SEAT AND APPLY PRESSURE TO BOTH THE FRONT AND THE
REAR BRAKES AT THE SAME TIME.

FEATURES OF YOUR BIKE
Pedal Assist:
This bike has the pedal assist feature. When on pedal assist level 1-5 the motor will assist you while pedaling. Pedal
assist 1 being the slowest and least powerful and 5 being the fastest and most powerful. If on Pedal Assist level 0 you
will not have any motor assistance.
Thumb Throttle:
Your bike has a thumb throttle located on the handlebars, either on the left or right side of the bars, depending on the
model. The thumb throttle can be used at any time even from a complete stop it can be used to take off and assist you
up to max speed. Please note, the power of the thumb throttle is set to match the power of the pedal assist level you
are on, 1 being the slowest and least powerful and 5 being the fastest and most powerful. If on Pedal Assist level 0 the
thumb throttle will not have any power.
Walk Assist:
By holding down on the “–” button your bike will enter walk assist mode, the bike will propel itself as you walk along
side of it. Make sure your rear gears are on a larger sprocket to ensure the bike moves at a slower speed.
USB Charging:
Your Bike is equipped with USB charging while the bike is turned on. You can charge devices such as cell phones, and
other devices that use USB charging cables. Locating your USB port; most USB ports are located at the bottom of the LCD
screen, while Megatron and Krusader models are located at the bottom of the power off/on switch.
On Demand All Wheel Drive:
Your bike has on demand all-wheel drive, at any time you can choose between front wheel, rear wheel, or all-wheel
drive. Simply double tap the “+” button for front wheel drive, or double tap the power button for all wheel drive, or you
can double tap the “–” for rear wheel drive.
Dual Battery Technology:
With the battery installed from the bottom of your bike frame, you are able to install a secondary battery on the top of
your bike frame. The additional battery is a 48v 14ah battery. Contact Rambo Bikes for more information.
Suspension Fork:
Your bike has front suspension that is mainly set and adjusted by air pressure. To test if your suspension is set properly,
there should be 20% compression on the suspension when you are in riding position. If the suspension is too stiff or too
soft, it will need to be adjusted using an air suspension air pump. In most cases the PSI in the fork will be around 120lbs.
There are also quick adjustments for the fork on the top of the suspension, turning the knob towards the lock will make
the fork stiffer and turning away will make the suspension softer.
