§  The electrical system powers several components on your E-Bike, controlling various operating conditions and user preferences. Most importantly, you need to familiarize yourself with the electrical system of your e-bike and check whether it is working properly before each ride. Both the front and rear brake levers contain safety power cut-off switches, which disable the hub motor assist when used and should be checked for correct operation of both levers. Gradual throttle rotation should result in smooth acceleration. If the throttle doesn't rotate, the pedal assist device or lighting device intermittently malfunctions, or fails, stop using your E-Bike immediately and contact the AIMA support team for help 

§  Make sure that the brakes and their system components are undamaged, correctly fixed, and functioning properly. Neither the front nor the rear brake levers should touch the handlebars. If you find any issues with the brakes, take the bicycle to an experienced bicycle repairer for fixing. 

The wheels should always rotate in a straight line; if they sway side to side or bob up and down during rotation, they need to be repaired or replaced. If the wheel becomes unstable or the spokes are loose, this may affect normal use. It is recommended to have a bicycle repairman make all wheel adjustments and truing for your bicycle. Unless you have sufficient knowledge, tools, and experience, do not attempt to true the wheel or tighten the spokes. Ensure that the tires and inner tubes are in good condition, with no visible damage, and that the air pressure is stable. Be sure to replace punctured or cut tires and inner tubes. Riding with damaged tires or tires without proper air pressure will decrease performance, increase wear on the tires and components, and make riding the bicycle unsafe.

§  Ensure all hardware is secured, and all approved accessories are correctly connected as per the specific component manufacturer's instructions. It's best to first check all hardware and accessories; if you find any problems or are unsure, seek help from an experienced bicycle repairer.
