Bike instructions

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. Summit County has authorized Class 1 e-bikes on pedestrian and/or bike paths where regular bicycles are allowed. However, all Class 2, Class 3 and unclassified e-bikes remain prohibited on the Recpath. E-bikes are not permitted on natural surface trails dedicated as non-motorized.

Turn the e-bike on and off with a long press of the power button on the bottom edge of the left-hand controller.

Once the bike is powered on, short press the power button to change riding modes: eco, trail, or boost. Eco is most battery efficient and will be best for long path rides.

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.

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.
