2.2 Getting ready to ride
We recommend familiarising yourself with the
electric bike away from busy roads. Test your
e-bike's range in different conditions before
planning longer or more difficult rides. Also test
the different levels of assistance and take the time
to understand how the gear shift works.
2.2.1 Safety checks before each
ride
To ensure the safety of your bicycle, please check
the following safety points before each ride.
These are quick checks intended to prevent
mechanical malfunctions. Do not use the bicycle
if it fails on any of the points and you are unable to
resolve the problem by following the instructions
in this manual. Contact your 02feel e-bike dealer
to discuss the problem.
• Check that the tyres are well inflated.
• Check that the brakes work.
• Check that the seat post does not slip in the
frame, make sure the seat post clamp is well
tightened.
• Check that the stem, handlebars and grips do not
slip or have become loose.
2.2.2 Tyres
Do not exceed the permissible inflation pressure
for the tyre. Otherwise, it could burst.
Inject air into the tyre to obtain at least the
minimum indicated inflation pressure. If the
pressure is too low, the tyre could come off the
wheel rim.
The maximum permissible inflation pressure as
well as the minimum pressure are usually written
on the sidewall of the tyre.
When changing tyres, only use tyres of the same
size.Otherwise, the riding characteristics of the
bike could be negatively influenced. There would
then be the risk of an accident.
Tyres are wearing parts. Regularly check the depth
of the tread pattern, pressure and condition of the
tyre sidewalls. Replace worn tyres before riding the
bike again.
