Motorcycle Training Manual from the Texas Department of Public Safety
for Electro-Wheels Users-Good Information for all.

The Texas Department of Public Safety has a motorcycle operator’s manual available which we highly recommend to all user’s of Electro-Wheels large frame electric bicycles. Electro-Wheels large frame ebikes are the same size as the large gas powered mopeds. They incorporate safety features similar to those of motorcycles. These include bright, high/low beam headlights, turn signals, tail lights, brake lights, and horn. In addition they use only automotive grade brake systems to insure safe stopping under all conditions.

We highly urge that all users of Electro-Wheels ebikes study this comprehensive manual and become familiar with the techniques of motorcycle riding and safety. The same principles apply to the safe operation of Electro-Wheels products no matter where you are. The manual contains numerous self help questions to check your knowledge as you progress.
