Bike instructions
Before Your Ride
-
Conduct a safety check, ensuring that handlebars, pedals, and cables are secure and functional
-
Verify that the standover height is appropriate for your body to ensure a safe and comfortable ride
-
Next, open the quick release clamp on the seat post to adjust the bike seat height so there's a slight bend in your knee (about 25-30 degrees) when the pedal is at the lowest point.
-
Always wear a properly fitting helmet.
-
Familiarize yourself with local cycling laws. Sometimes E-bikes are not permitted on natural surface trails dedicated as non-motorized.
Riding and Bike Operation
-
Turn the e-bike on and off with a long press of the power button on the left-hand controller.
-
The left brake is for the front wheel, and the right is for the back wheel. Caution: applying too much pressure to the left brake can lock the front wheel and lead to an “over-the-bars” crash.
-
Once riding, press the “+” or “—“ button on the left-hand controller to select the appropriate assist level to match your riding preference.
Riding Conditions
-
Be extra cautious in wet or low-visibility conditions, adjusting speed and braking distance accordingly.
-
Ensure the bike's lights and reflectors are clear and operational to maintain visibility to others.
ALPEN e-bikes are tested and approved for use on roads and paved paths only.
DO NOT ENGAGE IN EXTREME RIDING. This includes, but is not limited to, jumping, attempting tricks and stunts, and riding on unpaved trails. Extreme riding is neither recommended nor permitted and may result in serious injury or death. ALPEN strictly prohibits use of this bike on single-track mountain bike trails, downhill trails, lift-accessed mountain bike terrain, and jump trails.
The bikes and bike components have limitations in terms of strength and integrity, and engaging in extreme riding can damage bike components and lead to hazardous riding situations where you may be seriously injured or killed.
