1.3 Position adjustment
The brake and shifting levers are positioned on your Smart Ped by the
dealer in order to fit most rider’s requirements. If you buy online, the
brake levers could be not in the optimal position to fit the box to prevent
damages during shipping. The angle of the shifting lever can be revised.
Ask your dealer to fit it to your needs if necessary.
2. SAFETY CHECK BEFORE RIDING YOUR SMART PED
2.1 Mechanical vehicle
o Check and tighten any nut, bolt, and strap. If you’re not sure, ask your-
bicycle dealer to help you.
o Ensure that all locking devices are correctly secured before riding.
o Tyres correctly inflated? Check by pushing down with your thumb on-
the top of the tyre. The tyre should depress slightly.
o Compare your ride to how it feels when you know the tyres are cor-
rectly inflated.
o Replace damaged or worn tyres before they puncture.
o Wheels true? Spin each wheel and check for brake clearance and
side-side wobble. If a wheel wobble or hits the brake pads, take the
bicycle to your dealer to adjust the brakes.
2.2 Clamp, nut and quick release
o Are nuts, clamps and quick release fixed correctly? Check if all fittings
mechanisms as seat clamp and wheel nuts are correctly and securely
closed.
2.3 Handlebar
o Is the handlebar fixed correctly, tight bolts and clamp enough so it
can’t twist? Handlebar is in good condition with grips completely
fitted? Is the safety plastic preventing the folding lever to open?
o Any broken or worn parts should be replaced BEFORE riding your
Smart Ped
o If the handlebar is not straight (1), in order to adjust it in the
correctposition, fold the handlebar (see 5.3), release the adjustment
screw (2), unfold it and straighten the handlebar (3). Finally fold the
hadlebar again and tighten the adjustment screw with the proper
tightening torque.
