SHIFT DOWN BEFORE CLIMBING

Do not climb steep hills in high gear using maximum motor assist. Improper gearing can damage the belt drive.
This bicycle uses a 120 Nm high-torque mid-drive motor.

Because the motor drives through the bicycle’s gears and belt system, proper gear selection is required when climbing hills.
Before and during a climb:
- Shift into a lower gear as the hill becomes steeper.
- Do not remain in a high gear and rely on maximum motor assistance to push the bike uphill.
- On steep grades, reduce the gear until you can pedal comfortably while the motor assists you.

Using a high gear under heavy motor load can cause the belt to slip, tear, or fail, which may result in loss of power, loss of control, or personal injury.

You are responsible for operating the bicycle correctly. Damage caused by improper gearing, misuse, or negligent operation may be charged to the rider.

Pausing is a great way to maximize your time spent with our Revival Velo Bikes. Pausing allows you to use the bikes for activities such as wine touring, running errands or stopping off for a quick bite to eat. Pausing ,reserves the bike for you, making them unavailable for other users. Please note pausing a ride inhibits your ability to end the ride, only an active ride can be ended.

RIDER RESPONSIBILITIES

Riders are not required to ride to the right of the white line, and can ride single file in the road lane way provided they are as mentioned above. While riding the on the road cyclists need to communicate with motor-vehicle drivers and do so with hand signals. Be sure to read, and understand the following hand signals, their meanings and uses before commencing your ride.

Left Turn:

Hold your left arm out parallel to the ground, with your palm facing forward

Where to ride

Revival Velo Vehicles must be used in a manner that is supported by the laws in the Province/State of the Country in which they are rented.

For British Columbia:

Vehicles my be used on public roadways as close to the white dividing lane lines as possible. It is not necessary to ride on the right of the lines marking the shoulder. Riders MUST be in single file and riding in the direction of traffic.

Riding against the direction of traffic creates blind spots in which drivers may not be able to see or react accordingly to riders which may lead to serious injury or death.

Riders retain the same responsibilities they would as if they were driving a standard motor vehicle and thus are required to follow the laws and suggestions of all posted signage regarding usage of the roadways, including but not limited to, Stop signs, Yield signs, Stop lights, and other applicable signage indicating road usages in the areas travelled.

Riders can not be intoxicated, and can suffer similar or worse penalties to the operation of a motor-vehicle while under the influence of controlled substances or are otherwise compromised of their usual mobility and cognitive functions.
