The kill-switch is located on the handlebars

on a short lanyard that can be looped over the

riders hand. If it pops off the power cuts such as

out of control or head off in an unsafe direction. Whichever way you chose just remember to attach the lanyard - it is another part of the the bike’s safety features.

From there on in the fun begins.
