Whether you’re an experienced rider or just starting out, it’s important to prioritize safety for a seamless and enjoyable ride. Here are a few safety tips to keep in mind:

  • Check your speed. Adjust your riding speed to match the situation. Take extra care and caution around others, especially when approaching busy intersections, riding in narrow bike lanes, or riding close to parked cars. Remember, there’s a speed limit on all ebikes.

  • Stick to lanes. Unlike regular pedal bikes, ebikes aren’t permitted on sidewalks. Be sure to plan your route so you stick to designated bike lanes or roads.

  • Share the path. While ebikes are generally welcome on multi-use paths, it’s important to share the path responsibly and be mindful of pedestrians and slower riders. Give them plenty of space and always pay attention to what's happening around you.

We can't wait for you to experience these amazing ebikes. Stay tuned for more updates and get ready to explore your city in an exciting new way.
