component's life cycle is exceeded, the component can suddenly and catastrophically fail, causing severe injury or
death to the rider
Scratches, cracks, fraying and discoloration are signs of stress-caused fatigue and indicate that a part is at the end of its
useful life and needs to be replaced. While the materials and workmanship of your bicycle or of individual components
may be covered by a warranty for a specified period of time by the manufacturer, this is no guarantee that the product will
last the term of the warranty. Product life is often related to the kind of riding you do and to the treatment to which you
submit the bicycle. The bicycle's warranty is not meant to suggest that the bicycle cannot be broken or will last forever. It
only means that the bicycle is covered subject to the terms of the warranty.
5. As required: If either brake lever fails the Mechanical Safety Check (Section 1.C), don't ride the bike.
If the chain won't shift smoothly and quietly from gear to gear, the derailleur is out of adjustment.
B. If your bicycle sustains an impact:
First, check yourself for injuries, and take care of them as best you can. Seek medical help if necessary.
Next, check your bike for damage.
After any crash, take your bike to your ARĪV eBike ASP or local bike shop for a thorough check.
WARNING: Check your rechargeable battery. If the battery housing shows any signs of damage, do not use your
bike in assistance mode. Turn the bike OFF and ride in normal mode until you reach your destination. Visit your
local ARĪV eBike ASP or local bike shop for a thorough check and service.

6. Electric Bikes

A. Motor
The ARĪV eBike is equipped with a proprietary General Motors hi torque mid-drive motor. Mid-drive motors "drive" the crank and
provide power to the drivetrain. The rider shifts through the gears just like a normal bike and the motor provides torque.
NOTICE: Please refer to your operations manual included with the ARĪV eBike for more details on the electrical
system and the operation of your ARĪV eBike.
Some ARĪV eBikes will also have a throttle which allows the rider to ride with motor assist only and no pedaling (North America
only).
Some ARĪV eBikes will have a walk mode which allows the rider to walk the bike with assist from the motor (Europe and
Australia/New Zealand only).
Some ARĪV eBikes will have integrated motor cut-off switches (North America only). The brakes on your ARĪV eBike are just like
those on a regular bike except that some bikes will have cut-off switches which will turn off power to the motor when the brakes are
applied.
CAUTION: Not all electric bikes have motor cut-off switches. Be sure to read your Operations Manual to learn more
about this feature.
WARNING: Check the operation of your motor cut-off switches before each ride. Test each brake lever to ensure
the motor is powered off and remains off while the brake lever is depressed.
B. Battery Care and Safety
The ARĪV eBike is equipped with a modern Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) battery. The battery is protected by a battery management system
that protects against overcharging, short circuits and a completely discharged battery. The charge level of your battery is displayed
on the display when the bike is turned and on the app if your phone is paired to the bike. Your battery is not shipped with a full
charge. Please charge your battery as soon as you take it out of the carton. This may take up to 3 hours. Optimal battery
temperature range is 0 degrees Celsius to +40 degrees Celsius (32 degrees Fahrenheit to 104 degrees Fahrenheit).
:
WARNING Failure to properly use, charge and store the battery as instructed will void the warranty. Never
disassemble the battery or open the battery case. Never charge a battery you suspect is damaged.
Noticeably reduced operating time after fully charging the battery can be a sign that the battery is damaged or reaching the end of
its service life.
Battery Charging
Open the charge port cover and plug the charger into the battery. Plug the other end into the power supply. Charger will flash
green while it is charging and will turn off when charging is complete. Charger may take a few minutes to begin charging. The
