When braking on a wet road, the braking distance is usually longer than on a dry road. Therefore, brakeearlier for a safer stop.
When you have to brake urgently, please hit the right hand brake first to stop the rear wheel, and then hit the left hand brake, especially when you brake at a high speed. If the front wheel stops suddenly while the rear wheel is still cycling at a high speed, you may fall over and get hurt. So please ride it carefully.

Maintenance

Cleaning
Use a soft and wet cloth to wipe the mainframe clean. Dirt that is hard to remove can be scrubbed with a toothbrush and toothpaste, then cleaned with a soft and damp cloth. Do not wash your e-bike with  alcohol, gasoline, acetone, or other corrosive/volatile solvents. These substances may damage the appearance and internal structure of thee-bike. Do not soak the bike or wash it with a pressure washer or hose.

Storage
A ) Bicycle

1. Do not expose thee-bike to direct sunlight or rain for an extended period of time, and avoid storing it  at a high temperature. It’s better to store the bike in a dry and safe place at a temperature of0°C-25°C.
2. Avoid corrosive gas, so as to avoid chemical corrosion and damage to the electrical parts and painted surfaces, which may lead to operational failure and accident.
3. Don’t store it in an explosive or flammable environment or near flammable liquids.

B ) Lithium-ion Battery

1. Charge the battery after each ride and avoid draining the battery completely. Because completely draining the battery may cause permanent damage to it. Never keep the lithium-ion battery discharged for a long time. If the voltage of the cell drops under allowed limit due to self-discharge, it will cause damage. For maximum durability, store the battery charged up to 50% of the maximum capacity.
2. Never charge the battery in an explosive or flammable environment or near flammable liquids. Do not charge the battery on a flammable substrate, such as paper, textiles, etc., when the battery is detached from the vehicle. Charge it at a safe place away from flammable items.
3. Never charge a battery which is already damaged or is leaking.
4. Don’t charge the battery too long. Stop charging when it gets full.
5. Charge or discharge the battery at a temperature within 0~45°C.
6. It is better to store the battery indoors within 20°C~25°C temperature while it is not being used for a long time. (When used at 25°C, the battery range and performance is at its best. But using it at a temperature below 0°C can decrease its mileage and performance.)
7. Do not store the battery at a too high or too low temperature.
8. The humidity of the storage place should be 60±25%RH. As for the working place, the humidity should be 5~85%RH.
9. Do not puncture, hit or crash the battery.
10. Don’t try to disassemble the old or damaged battery or throw it away. Please take it to the local professional battery recycling facility.
