Preparation

1. Carefully read these instructions to understand the product's performance and requirements.

1. Tire Pressure Check: Ensure sufficient tire pressure. If pressure is insufficient, inflate the tire to normal. If the tire tread is excessively worn, or the tire surface is too damaged or cracked, immediately replace the worn tire with a new one to avoid the risk of skidding on wet or slippery roads.
2. Electrical System Check: The battery should always be sufficiently charged to ensure the required range. Charge it first if the battery is insufficient. Check if the dashboard (non-standard configuration), digital tube, and battery indicator are functioning normally. If there is a malfunction, troubleshoot the issue for maintenance.
3. Braking System Check: Verify that the braking function is normal. If the braking function is faulty, do not use it. Send it to an appropriate maintenance location for repair.
4. Other Element Checks: Ensure that the entire vehicle (mainly the front and rear wheel bolts) is securely tightened, the handlebars are properly adjusted, the wheel lock is open, the pedals are in place, the quick-release folding mechanism functions correctly, and the safety buckle is in place.

Warnings

1. When riding on uphill surfaces, against strong winds, or in adverse road conditions, human assistance should be used to aid the electric drive to reduce battery load.
2. In case of abnormal conditions while riding, apply emergency brakes to both front and rear brakes, and immediately turn off the power switch. Continue riding only after ensuring the vehicle is in good condition.
3. The Gyrocopters electric bike is water and snow resistant, but it should not be completely submerged in water. The wading depth should not exceed the lower edge of the motor hub, otherwise it may cause internal leakage of the motor hub.
4. For your safety and the safety of others, please ride in the non-motorized lane and do not carry passengers while respecting traffic rules.
5. Before riding your Gyrocopters electric bike as a beginner, make sure you fully understand the electric vehicle's performance.
6. Do not ride with motor vehicles or get too close to automobiles. Avoid riding in the blind spots of motor vehicle drivers.

Note: Turn off the power when parked to save electricity.

Braking

1. When you need to brake while riding, first stop pedaling, then apply the brakes.
2. Brake the rear wheel first, then the front wheel.
3. In case of emergency braking, both front and rear brakes should be used simultaneously, as braking effect will be reduced if used separately.

Note:

• When braking, accelerating, or cornering, be very careful. Try not to increase manual effort at this time.
• Ride at a slower speed and maintain sufficient distance from others.
• Be more attentive on slippery and smooth roads, and maintain a sufficient braking distance.

Parking

1. When dismounting the Gyrocopters electric bike, you should turn off the power switch to ensure the lifespan of the batteries, motors, and electrical switches, as well as to prevent accidents.
2. When opening the kickstand, it is recommended to park the vehicle in a spacious area. When making a temporary stop, please use the safety lock to secure the vehicle (the safety lock is not provided as an accessory).
3. Do not park your electric bike in building lobbies, emergency stairwells, or emergency exits, and correctly follow the park's safety code.
