We want you to have fun and go "hard out", but the 2X2 is a powerful vehicle and should always be operated safely and with caution. Read our safety advice and you should be sweet as.
Due to its electric drive motors, the UBCO 2X2 is silent when on and very quiet in operation. When not in use, be sure to turn the bike off to prevent accidental activation of the throttle. The electric drive eliminates many of the inherent safety concerns associated with internal combustion motorcycles.
- A low centre of gravity makes the bike stable and able to maintain an upright position across sloping
terrain. - Two wheel drive increases traction for a more stable ride.
- No exhaust, no heat, and no fuel dramatically reduces the burn potential.
- Weighing just 70kg (154lbs). the crush risk is low.
- The easy to step through Super-X frame improves the safety of access and egress (particularly when loaded).
- No chain, so no catching or entanglement issues.
- Two-stage regenerative braking improves braking control.
- Easy operation and simple display minimises rider distraction, but ensures you have all the information to stay in control.
- With no emissions, the 2X2 is safer for the rider AND the environment.
Please stay safe:
- The 2X2 is nearly silent, always assume you are invisible to all other road and off-road users. Your life depends on it.
- Be aware of your surroundings, other people, animals, and other vehicles. Ride to the conditions.
- Ride the 2X2 within its loading and gradient limits as described in this section.
- Follow your local road laws and regulations, both on- and off-road, and ride within your limits.
- Never operate the 2X2 when fatigued, impaired, or under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
- Wear a well-fitting helmet, securely fastened, that provides good visibility and meets law requirements.
- Wear appropriate apparel such as close-toed shoes, gloves, and eye protection.
- Only one person should ride on the 2X2 at any one time.
- Children and/or inexperienced riders should NOT operate the 2X2.
On-road Safety:
- Watch for changes in traffic.
- Check your blind spots and signal when turning or changing lanes. (Don't forget to turn off your indicator when you're finished turning or merging!)
- Abide by your local riding laws, regulations, and posted speed limits.
- Be mindful of other road users; never ride in a way that could cause harm to others.
- Use your horn appropriately.
- Extra care should be taken when riding in wet, frosty, and/ or windy conditions, and when riding over road markings.
Off-road Safety:
- Watch for changes in terrain.
- Abide by local off-road riding laws and regulations.
- Obtain permission to ride on private property.
- Use your horn as a warning signal where it’s appropriate.
- Do not ‘wheely’ or jump the 2X2. This can damage the hub motors, causing gear shock when the motor accelerates rapidly in the air and then decelerates instantly when it hits the ground again.
The UBCO 2X2 Adventure Bike is not designed to be a Motocross (MX) bike. Rather, it has been designed to be lighter and more functional. Using the 2X2 like an MX bike may damage the drive system and will likely void the warranty. The power supply, motors, and electrical components are protected against mud, heavy rain, surface water, and shallow water crossings. They are not protected against submersion and the 2X2 should not ford water deeper than the axles. If you are unsure about the type of riding you are doing, please check with your service provider or the team at UBCO
and we can advise you
Kickstand Safety:
The UBCO 2X2 comes with a manually retracting kickstand. When retracting the kickstand, it is important to keep your legs and other body parts clear of the kickstand’s path of movement.
