Using the Pedal Raptor 2 is a breeze. Just hop on, adjust the seat to your comfort, and start pedaling. The Shimano shifters are easy to use - move them to change gears according to the terrain. For flat roads, use a higher gear for a faster ride, and switch to a lower gear when going uphill. When riding, always wear a helmet and follow traffic rules. For maintenance, regularly check the tire pressure and keep the tires inflated to the recommended level. Clean the bike after each ride, especially if you've been on a dirty or wet path. Wipe down the frame, wheels, and gears. Every few months, take it to a professional bike shop for a full check - up and lubrication of the moving parts.
