1. Basic inspection before riding

Choose a bicycle that suits you

Choosing the right bike is an important factor in ensuring riding safety, performance and comfort! Adjusting your bike to your proportions and riding environment requires experience, skill, and specialized tools. Therefore, you must refer to the advice provided by your dealer when choosing a bicycle size. It is recommended to use BikeFitting to determine the bicycle size that suits your body shape, as well as adjust the seat post and handlebar.

Notice! If your bike is not perfectly suited to your physical condition, you may lose control and fall while riding.

safe clothing

1. Safety helmet: When riding, please be sure to correctly wear a bicycle safety helmet that meets the latest safety and quality certification standards. It is recommended to choose a bicycle safety helmet that matches the type of riding you are doing. Always follow the helmet manufacturer's instructions for adjusting, using and maintaining your helmet.

2. Clothes: Brightly colored clothes can make it easier for others to see you. Choose clothes that are close-fitting to prevent them from accidentally catching on bicycles or other objects on the road while riding. When riding a bicycle with an exposed chain, do not wear lower clothing that can easily get caught in the sprocket.

3. Shoes: It is prohibited to wear high heels, slippers or bare feet while riding. Special cycling shoes can help our feet firmly contact and control pedaling. Please ensure that the shoelaces cannot enter the rotating parts of the machine.

4. Protective glasses: It is recommended to wear them, which can effectively protect your eyes and prevent sand, dust and insects in the air. Use lenses with different transmittances. Use dark lenses when the light is strong, and use lenses with higher transparency when the light is weak.

5. Gloves: It is recommended to wear special gloves for cycling. Gloves can increase the stability of the handlebars and palms and prevent slipping caused by rain or sweat. At the same time, it can also improve the comfort of the grip when riding.

To ensure safety, please do a simple inspection before riding!

1. Handlebars and stems: After holding the front wheel with both feet, turn the handlebars left and right, up and down to ensure that the stems and handlebars are not loose.

2. Tire pressure: Please press it with your hands or use a pump to measure it to see if the air pressure is sufficient. Use the air pressure range on the side of the tire as a standard. Carefully observe whether there are obvious scratches, bulges, or deformations on the tread and sides. Damaged tires must be replaced before riding.

3. Quick release and thru-axle rod: Please use your thumb to pull the quick-release handles of the front and rear wheels and the seat tube to ensure the quick-release tightness; if it is a hexagonal locking thru-axle rod, please use a tool to check to ensure that the thru-axle rod is locked.

4. Seat cushion: Please turn the seat cushion left and right, up and down to make sure the seat cushion and seat tube are not loose, and confirm that the safety line on the seat tube is not exposed.

5. Braking: Please pull the brake handle and push the bicycle forward and backward at the same time to ensure that the braking function is normal and effective; lift the front and rear wheels one after another to spin, and check whether the brake pads are obviously rubbing against the rim or disc.
