• Never expose it to intense physical shock or severe vibration, To avoid damage to the battery

• Inspect the tires for proper inflation and any signs of wear. Keep them inflated to the recommended pressure.
• Check the brakes regularly to ensure they are functioning correctly, let’s dive into how to maintain the Hydraulic disc brakes:

Maintaining your bike's hydraulic disc brakes might sound like a daunting task, but with the right tools and a bit of know-how, it's a straightforward process that ensures optimal performance. Let's break down the key components of your hydraulic disc brakes and explore some tips for keeping them in top shape.

Remember to wear an apron, gloves, and protective glasses during the bleed procedure, and remove the wheels to avoid contaminating the rotors. With these simple steps, you can keep your hydraulic disc brakes performing at their best, ensuring a safe and enjoyable riding experience.

• Regularly clean your bike, but avoid using a high-pressure hose on electrical components.
• Use a mild detergent and a soft brush or cloth to clean the frame, wheels, and other components.

• Avoid exposing the electrical components to water or moisture. If your bike gets wet, dry it thoroughly before use.

• Connect the Streamport adapter to Base Control and enable Wi-Fi capabilities. Use the Volt App on your smartphone or tablet to adjust and monitor all of your bike’s functions and features.
• Read the benefits of installing Streamport

• If you're not comfortable with maintenance tasks, consider taking your bike to any of the person who knows doing that.
• Riding instructions & safety tips (novice riders) 

• First ride (novice riders) Stand astride the motorcycle and locate the controls while the motorcycle is switched OFF. After you understand the controls and are comfortable with them, it’s time for the first ride. For this, make sure you are dressed correctly in suitable safety gear. Boots, gloves, helmets, and eye protection are necessary. The area for riding must be flat, open, and safe, with no obstacles of any kind. The motorcycle must be set up correctly, with the speed and torque tuned to a slow setting. 
• 1. Ensure the power is turned OFF.
• 2. Sit down on the motorcycle, keep your feet on the ground and move the motorcycle from side to side, forward and back, to get comfortable with the handlebar position and weight distribution.
• 3. Switch the motorcycle ON by switching the power switch to the ON position (magnetic kill switch).
• 4.  Before twisting the throttle, you should have one foot on the ground and the other one on the corresponding side of the foot rail.
• 5. Twist the throttle smoothly and slowly and set off.
• 6.  Once comfortable, lift both your feet onto the foot rail as you ride.
• 7. Once stopped, set the power switch to the OFF position by unpluging the magnetic kill switch. 

• Learning to stand up 
• Once the basics are mastered, the speed and torque settings can be switched to faster and more powerful settings, step by step, to match the improving skills of the rider. Before you get going too quickly, it’s a good idea to learn to ride the motorcycle ‘correctly’. This means changing the riding position and in control. Learning to change the riding position is difficult if a rider does not have good throttle control. While the speed setting is set to low, the rider must learn to rotate his/her wrist ‘around’ the throttle so that when he/she moves forward or backward, the wrist is in the correct position. As the power and torque settings get higher, the ‘dead zone’ in the throttle diminishes, so it becomes easier to stand up and work the throttle.

• Learning the correct riding techniques will prepare the rider for all forms of riding that come later. The rider needs to learn to control the motorcycle at slow speeds and use the correct technique to execute tight turns. The natural approach of many riders is to turn the handlebars but this is not a correct riding technique. The correct technique is to lean and use so-called counter-steering. Counter-steering is turning the handlebars in the opposite direction as the rear wheel intends to travel outwards of the corner (over-steering). This will cause the motorcycle to lean and turn in the desired direction. Counter-steering needs to be taught slowly and smoothly, sudden movements of the handlebars may cause an accident. If tight turns are mastered correctly, many other skills will follow naturally.
