SAFE OPERATING TIPS
• Even if you are an experienced bike rider, all riders should read and understand this manual before using an electric bike. For your safety
and to avoid serious injury or death, please closely review the following safety tips for safe operation of your GEN3 Electric Bike.
• Always wear an approved helmet whenever riding this product. Approved helmets in the USA must meet the US Consumer Product Safety
Commission standard. Helmets sold in Canada are certified by CSA (Canadian Standards Association), CPSC (Consumer Product Safety
Commission), Snell or ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials). Failure to wear a helmet when riding may result in serious injury
or death.
• Inspect the bike before each use, making sure the correct setup and tightening is done on your bike before using it for the first time.
Check the brake function, handlebar grips, tightening and lubricating components regularly.
• Check the operation of the brake motor cutoff before each ride. The brake system, when properly functioning cuts off power to the
motor whenever the brakes are squeezed.
• The pedal assistance and throttle function on electric bikes can be unfamiliar for first time riders. Ensure you understand and are
prepared for the assistance sensor to engage the motor once pedaling begins. A pedal assist sensor (PAS) signals the controller to run
the motor providing a boost to your pedaling depending on the level of assist you select while riding.
• Always use the lowest pedal assist level, or lightest throttle, until you are comfortable with the bike and feel confident with the equipment.
• Users must travel at speeds appropriate for the usage area, riding conditions, and experience level.
• Off-road biking presents varied terrain that requires attention and skill. Wear safety gear and do not ride alone on isolated trails. Check
local rules and regulations to see if off-road riding of the electric bike is allowed.
• Only transport bikes with hitch racks, trunk racks, roof racks and rails rated for the size and weight of your bike.
• Because electric bikes are significantly heavier than regular bikes, they are not intended for large jumps or stunts of any kind. Bike
frames and parts have limitations, and extreme riding should not be performed. GEN3 assumes no liability for any accident, injuries,
or property damage incurred as a result of rider’s use or misuse of GEN3 bicycles, including any damages resulting from or arising
out of off-road usage.
• In the event of a collision or presumed damage, you must consider your bike unsafe to ride until a comprehensive inspection of all
components, functions, and operations of the bike can be made by a certified, reputable bike mechanic.
• Do not operate the bike without the battery installed.
• Proper installation, compatibility, operation, and maintenance must be performed on all components. Failure to comply could result in
serious injury or death.
