This manual contains safety precautions and recommended operating instructions. Even if you are an
experienced cyclist, it is in your own interest and safety to familiarize yourself with the latest rules and
regulations regarding safe use of your motorcycle or electric bike.

Please note that the illustrations show PopcycleTMstep through motorcycle or electric pedal type
series of bikes. Other motorcycle models may have different parts and controls. You should therefore
always refer to the Owner’s Manual of your particular motorcycle/scooter.

Because any powered cycle is a high-speed transportation device, some special safety precautions
must be observed as with any other vehicle to reduce the risk of personal injury. Careless or improper
use may cause serious or even fatal injury. Read and follow all safety precautions in the current
Owner’s Manual. Always use two hands to operate the cycle.

Minors under the legal driving age should never be allowed to use a powered cycle. Bystanders,
especially children, and animals should not be allowed too close to the area where the cycle is in use.
Never let the bike be in the run position while unattended. Store it in its locked position away from

children. Do not lend or rent your cycle without the Owner‘s Manual. Be sure that anyone using your

bike reads and understands the information contained in this manual.
You must be in good physical condition and mental health and not under the influence of any

substance (drugs, alcohol) which might impair vision, dexterity or judgment. Do not operate a
motorcycle/scooter /cycle when you are fatigued. Be alert – If you get tired while operating your cycle,
take a break. Being tired may result in loss of control and could cause serious injury to the driver and
others. Driving any motor cycle can be strenuous. If you have any condition that might be aggravated
by strenuous activity, check with your doctor before operating any cycle.

To reduce the risk of injury, the operator should wear proper apparel. Clothing must be sturdy and
snug-fitting, but allow complete freedom of movement. Avoid loose fitting jackets, scarves, long
neckties, jewelry, flared or cuffed pants, unconfined long hair or anything that could become entangled
with the device or your clothing. Wearing overalls or jeans and protecting your hands with gloves is
especially important in less than ideal conditions. Heavy duty, nonslip gloves improve your grip and
protect your hands. To reduce the risk of injury to your eyes never operate a motorcycle unless
wearing goggles, a helmet visor or properly fitted safety glasses with adequate top and side protection

complying with your state’s standard. Protect yourself!

Never modify your bike in any way. Only attachments and parts supplied by Popcycle or expressly
approved by Popcycle for use with the specific Popcycle models are authorized. Although certain
unauthorized add-ons are useable their use may, in fact, be extremely dangerous.

Take extreme care in wet and freezing weather (rain, snow, ice). Put off riding when the weather is
windy, stormy or rainfall is heavy.

Never operate a scooter that is damaged, has improperly inflated tires or not completely or securely

assembled. Follow the maintenance and repair instructions in the appropriate section of your Owner’s

Manual.
Use only Popcycle replacement parts for maintenance and repair. Use of parts manufactured by

others may cause serious or fatal injury.
