Using the Pedal Lightning electric bike is a breeze. Just hop on, turn on the power, and start pedaling. The motor will kick in to give you a boost, and you can reach speeds up to 32km/hr. When mounting, if you've chosen the ST lower step - through frame, it's even easier to get on and off. For daily use, make sure to keep the battery charged. When charging, plug it in and let it fully charge to ensure a long - lasting ride. As for maintenance, the Shimano drivetrain is quite reliable, but it's a good idea to check the chain regularly and keep it lubricated. Also, make sure the V - brakes are adjusted properly for optimal stopping power. Keep the bike clean, especially after riding in wet or dirty conditions. Store it in a dry place to prevent rust and damage. Enjoy your rides on this amazing electric bike!
