Be careful when transporting a RIDE+ bicycle.
5.
• An E-bicycle is heavier than a normal bicycle. If transporting on a vehicle, be aware of the maximum load capacity of the vehicle's
roof, towing hook and/or of the bicycle carrier. Refer to the manuals of the vehicle and bicycle carrier for details.
• Remove the controller, battery and, if present, panniers from the bicycle and store them elsewhere in the vehicle during the drive.
• Always respect local laws about transportation of an electric bicycle.
• Because Li-Ion batteries of this size and power are considered 'Dangerous goods, class 9' when transporting, so regulations may
restrict the transport of separate Li-Ion batteries in some places. The restrictions apply to most airlines and some trucking
companies. If you intend to ship or travel with your complete RIDE+ bicycle (with installed battery), the regulations are less strict.
Make sure to check ahead with your airline or carrier before booking your trip, to ensure it is allowed to travel with your complete
RIDE+ bicycle.
Obey local regulations.
6.
In most countries the regulations for the use of an electric bicycle are the same as those for a standard bicycle. However, there
may be local differences such as where you can ride, minimum rider age, or required equipment and registration. It is the rider's
responsibility to know the local regulations that apply to an electric bicycle and to obey them.
Visit your dealer on a regular basis for maintenance of your new bicycle.
7.
• Your dealer has the right knowledge and equipment to maintain your RIDE+ bicycle.
• If you have questions about your new RIDE+ bicycle, ask your dealer!

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FOR FAST ELECTRIC BICYCLES
The 'Fast Electric Bicycle' is an electric bicycle that provides additional assistance at speeds up to 28 mph so long as the rider keeps
pedaling. This is higher than the assisted speed provided by a standard electric bicycle (20 miles per hour).
Note. The maximum speed depends on how hard you pedal, and whether you are descending on a decline.
Local Regulations
The regulations that cover use of a Fast Electric Bicycle vary by country, state, and even municipality in certain locations. You must
comply with the local regulations that concern the minimum age of the rider, driver license, insurance, license plate, traffic and
maximum speed regulations, and any other regulations.
The regulations may change at any time. It is the rider's responsibility to obey the regulations that apply to a Fast Electric Bicycle.
Note. Wearing a helmet might not be mandatory in your location, but for your own safety, Trek strongly recommends wearing a helmet.
How long does a charge last?
The maximum range on one battery charge depends on your style of use and the environment where the Fast Electric Bicycle is used.
The faster you go under motor power, the shorter the range. Please consult your RIDE+ Owner's manual to determine the possible
range.
How fast can I go?
Your Fast Electric Bicycle is still a bicycle. This bicycle does not have a throttle. It is not possible to use the power of the motor
system without pedaling.
Other road users may not expect a bicycle to be ridden at the speed of a Fast Electric Bicycle. In traffic and crowded areas, ride at a
safe speed. Obey all traffic regulations as defined by the regulations for your area.
