Always use bicycle lanes where available. If none are available you must conform to all traffic laws that apply to other motor powered vehicles.
- Helmet
Always wear an ASTM and CPSC certified helmet when riding. Make sure that the chin strap is attached before your ride and follow the helmet manufactures instructions for proper use and fit. In many Provinces or States the wear of a helmet on e-bikes is mandatory.
- Footwear
Make sure to always wear shoes that have good traction on the pedals or pegs and will stay on your feet at higher speeds.
- Brakes
Squeeze the hand brake levers to ensure there is positive braking action before starting your ride. We recommend parking on flat surfaces. If however you must park on an incline, make sure to park your transporter perpendicular to the road with the back wheel leaning against the sidewalk, same as motorcycles.
- Control
Make sure you are sitting on your e-bike with your hands on the hand grips before engaging the throttle and keep hands on hand grips when riding. Beginners should always start on the lowest power assist mode until familiarized with the MunroE Premium.
