Riding a Diesel E-Bike is an exciting and powerful experience. Like any motorized vehicle, proper safety practices are essential to ensure a smooth, enjoyable, and responsible ride. Follow the guidelines below every time you ride.

 

1. Protective Gear & Equipment

We strongly recommend wearing appropriate safety gear whenever riding a Diesel E-Bike.

• Always wear a properly fitted helmet.
  
  
• Wear closed-toe shoes with good grip.
  
  
• Consider gloves, eye protection, and protective clothing, especially for longer or higher-speed rides.
  
  
• Avoid loose clothing that could get caught in moving parts. Rear riders have caution of loose clothing rubbing against the gear shifter.
  

2. Pre-Ride Safety Check

Before every ride, take a moment to inspect your bike.
