Lithium Batteries

Lithium batteries pose a risk of injury when handled improperly. Therefore:

•

Do not use or leave battery near a heat source such as fire or heater

•

Use only Bikeboard’s authorized chargers

•

Do not connect battery to an electrical outlet directly

•

Refer to chapter 3.1. Batteries and chapter 4.6. Storage and Care Instructions for more detailed information

Be Aware

Adjust your riding style to your ability as well as road, traffic and weather conditions. The E-Bikeboard is to be operated in a safe and suitable manner.

Avoid Distractions

The rider should not use a cell phone, listen to headphones, or engage in any other activity that might distract or interfere with the ability to monitor the surroundings while driving. The attention of the rider must be directed toward operating the E-

Bikeboard.

Both Hands and Feet

While driving the E-Bikeboard, both hands should be kept on the handlebar, and both feet should be kept on the platform.

Luggage

Do not carry objects in your hands or on the platform while driving. Use the E-

Bikeboard’s carrier equipment, such as a top case, to transport objects/luggage.

Parking

Lock the E-Bikeboard and remove battery keys and main key (located at the throttle) when parking it. Secure with an adequate lock.

Inspection

• Ensure that brakes work properly

•

Both batteries must be firmly locked onto frame and both keys must be taken off the battery before riding the E-Bikeboard.

1.6 How to Ride

* for more details refere to chapter 3

1.6.2 Practice •

New riders must practice using the E-Bikeboard first. Training rides should be performed in a safe place on an even and non-slippery surface, away from traffic or pedestrians.

• Always be alert and ready to use the brakes.

1.6.3 Riding Tips

3 - Speed *

Beginners should use speed 1 (slow). Use speed 2 (medium) and 3 (max speed) only if you are an experienced E-Bikeboard user.

Braking *

Use primarily the left brake lever to slow down, which is for the rear wheels.

Reverse *

This feature should only be used by experienced E-Bikeboard users.

Acceleration

Never accelerate in an uncontrolled fashion.

Terrain/Surface changes

Be aware that every terrain/surface change (i.e. from pavement to grass, a threshold or speed bump) is a potential hazard and may require a change in driving style. Do not pull up the E-Bikeboard handlebar when riding over obstacles.

Steep Slopes

When going downhill never exceed a speed of 35km/h (22mph). Instead, use the brakes to slow down or push the E-Bikeboard. If driving across a slope the driver must balance the inclination by leaning his/her body uphill.

Added Height

Because of the added height of the E-Bikeboard platform (and the driver’s helmet) special care must be taken when driving indoors, as well as through doorways, archways, under tree branches, signs, or other overhead obstacles.

Note: See chapter "3.2 Handlebar Control Features" for more detailed information

Visibility

To ride safely, the rider must be able to see clearly and must be visible to others.

Always switch on the light when riding the E-Bikeboard at night time or in conditions of low visibility. Follow local legislation regarding regulations for using the

E-Bikeboard at night.

13

Turns/Curves

Always turn slowly and with caution - do not turn abruptly!

Lean into the turn to maintain balance. The body must be brought into an inclined position as on a bicycle or motorbike. (see diagram)

Exception 1: When driving alongside a steep hill, lean towards the hill

Exception 2: When driving a Models with fixed leaning system, make sure to turn only with a slow speed so all 3 wheels are always touching the ground.
