Safety Guidline:
Helmet on at all times — no helmet, no ride.
Use low or eco mode on gravel, downhill, or uneven surfaces.
Brake early — e-bikes are heavier and take longer to stop.
Keep a safe speed — ride in control, not just on boost.
Stay left and give way to walkers, riders, or faster bikes.
Call or use a bell when passing others on the trail.
Walk the bike through rough, slippery, or steep areas if unsure.
Carry water, phone, sunscreen, and basic tools.
Check battery level before you start.Cost:
