KONA OWNER’S MANUAL
nor pedal backwards after having moved the shifter.
This could jam the chain and cause serious damage to
the bicycle.
Check out the handling and response of the bike; and
check the comfort.
If you have any questions, or if you feel anything
about the bike is not as it should be, take the bike
back to your dealer before you ride again.
2. SAFETY
A) THE BASICS
WARNING: The area in which you ride may
require specic safety devices. It is your
responsibility to familiarize yourself with
the laws of the area where you ride and to
comply with all applicable laws, including
properly equipping yourself and your bike
as the law requires. Observe all local bicycle
laws and regulations. Observe regulations
about bicycle lighting, licensing of bicycles, riding on
sidewalks, laws regulating bike path and trail use, helmet
laws, child carrier laws, special bicycle trafc laws. It’s
your responsibility to know and obey the laws.
1. Always wear a cycling helmet which meets the latest
certication standards and is appropriate for the type of
riding you do. Always follow the helmet manufacturer’s
instructions for t, use and care of your helmet. Most
serious bicycle injuries involve head injuries which might
have been avoided if the rider had worn an appropriate
helmet.

B) RIDING SAFETY
1. Obey all Rules of the Road and all local trafc laws.
2. You are sharing the road or the path with others —
motorists, pedestrians and other cyclists. Respect
their rights.
3. Ride defensively. Always assume that others do not
see you.
4. Look ahead, and be ready to avoid:
• Vehicles slowing or turning, entering the road or your
lane ahead of you, or coming up behind you.
• Parked car doors opening.
• Pedestrians stepping out.
• Children or pets playing near the road.
• Pot holes, sewer grating, railroad tracks, expansion
joints, road or sidewalk construction, debris and other
obstructions that could cause you to swerve into trafc,
catch your wheel or otherwise cause you to lose control
and have an accident.
• The many other hazards and distractions which can
occur on a bicycle ride.
5.
Ride in designated bike lanes, on designated bike paths
or as close to the edge of the road as possible, in the
direction of trafc ow or as directed by local governing
laws.
6. Stop at stop signs and trafc lights; slow down and
look both ways at street intersections. Remember that a
bicycle always loses in a collision with a motor vehicle,
so be prepared to yield even if you have the right of way.
7. Use approved hand signals for turning and stopping.
8. Never ride with headphones. They mask trafc sounds and
emergency vehicle sirens, distract you from concentrating
on what’s going on around you, and their wires can tangle in
the moving parts of the bicycle, causing you to lose control.
9. Never carry a passenger; and, before installing a child
carrier or trailer, check with your dealer or the bicycle
manufacturer to make sure the bicycle is designed for it.
If the bicycle is suitable for a child carrier or trailer, make
sure that the carrier or trailer is correctly mounted and
the child is secured and wearing an approved helmet.
10. Never carry anything which obstructs your vision or
your complete control of the bicycle, or which could
become entangled in the moving parts of the bicycle.
11. Never hitch a ride by holding on to another vehicle.
12. Don’t do stunts, wheelies or jumps. If you intend to
do stunts, wheelies, jumps or go racing with your bike
despite our advice not to, read Section 2.F, Downhill,
Stunt or Competition Biking, now. Think carefully about
your skills before deciding to take the large risks that go
with this kind of riding.
13. Don’t weave through trafc or make any moves that
may surprise people with whom you are sharing the road.
14. Observe and yield the right of way.
15. Never ride your bicycle while under the inuence of
alcohol or drugs.
16. If possible, avoid riding in bad weather, when
visibility is obscured, at dusk or in the dark, or when
extremely tired. Each of these conditions increases the
risk of accident.
C) OFF ROAD SAFETY
We recommend that children not ride on rough terrain
unless they are accompanied by an adult.

WARNING: Failure to wear a helmet when riding
may result in serious injury or death.
2. Always do the Mechanical Safety Check before you
get on a bike [see Section 1.C].
3. Be thoroughly familiar with the controls of your bicycle:
brakes [see Section 4.C]; pedals [see Section 4.E];
shifting [see Section 4.D].
4. Be careful to keep body parts and other objects away
from the sharp teeth of chainrings; the moving chain; the
turning pedals and cranks; and the spinning wheels of
your bicycle.
5. Always wear:
• Shoes that will stay on your feet and will grip the
pedals. Make sure that shoe laces cannot get into
moving parts, and never ride barefoot or while wearing
sandals.
• Bright, visible clothing that is not so loose that it can be
tangled in the bicycle or snagged by objects at the side
of the road or trail.
•
Protective eyewear, to protect against airborne dirt,
dust and bugs — tinted when the sun is bright, clear when
it’s not.
6. Unless your bicycle was specically designed for jumping
(See Appendix A, Intended Use) don’t jump with your bike.
Jumping a bike, particularly a BMX or mountain bike, can be
fun; but it can put huge and unpredictable stress on the bicycle
and its components. Riders who insist on jumping their
bikes risk serious damage, to their bicycles as well as to
themselves. Before you attempt to jump, do stunt riding
or race with your bike, read and understand Section 2.F.
7. Ride at a speed appropriate for conditions. Higher
speed means higher risk.
