Safe Riding - Tern PEDELEC Manuel D'utilisateur

9. Safe Riding

Keep Your Eyes on the Road
Check for potholes and other dangers, like car doors opening and kids
playing. Also, think about your own visibility and avoid entering vehicle
blind spots.
EN
Wake Up!
You need to stay alert when riding. Don't wear earphones or headphones that affect your hearing or sunglasses if they hinder your vision.
Don't ride if you have consumed alcohol or are on medication that affects your motor skills.
ES
Stand out from the Crowd
Riding in low light or poor visibility, such as at night, dawn, dusk, in rain or in fog is much more dangerous than in daytime lighting
conditions. Wear bright colors and reflective gear.
FR
Stay Clean – Shine Bright
Reflectors should be clean, unbroken and mounted correctly. Don't cover reflectors with loose clothing or bags. Also, they only reflect light
in some directions, so you need lights to make sure you are seen with all around visibility. Make sure your lights are working properly.
IT
Using Brakes
Go with the flow
Braking distances increase in wet weather or under heavy load, so brake
more gently and earlier under those circumstances.
KO
Easy tiger
To prevent skidding when slowing or stopping your bike, pull Brakes
gradually. Skidding does not slow you down faster and means you can't steer
well so it should be avoided.
