Riding Instructions
This guide assumes that you already know how to ride a standard bicycle. Before you try
to ride an electric bicycle, you should be very familiar with controlling and balancing a
normal bicycle.
Caution
If you do not have cycling experience, an e-bike is too dangerous to ride. Do not begin
learning to ride a bicycle using an e-bike.

in mixed trac. Always take into account driving and traveling conditions.

obeying stop signs, checking carefully when turning, and riding defensively. An
e-bike is a motorized vehicle, even though it is classed as a bicycle. You must fol-
low the law.

pedestrians, or on recreational trails, try to be polite and courteous to those using
the paths with you. E-bikes are new in most cities, so other users of the roads and
recreational paths may not know how to deal with e-bike riders. Bear in mind that,
in a sense, e-bike riders are “ambassadors” for this new method of transportation.
Items to Carry with the Electric Bike
It is a good idea to carry the following items with you at all times when you ride your e-bike.
