A WORD ABOUT THIS SAFETY MANUAL
DEAR KUBERG CUSTOMER,
Congratulations on your purchase of a KUBERG X-Force Pro 50. You now own a state of the art
electric motorcycle that will give you endless thrills if you maintain it properly. We welcome you
to the community of KUBERG riders.
Your KUBERG X-Force Pro 50 is a performance motorcycle that should be treated with caution
and used in safe environments. As the owner of this motorcycle, it is your responsibility for
the safety of the rider at all times. If you defer this task to another adult, you need to pass this
owner’s manual and all relevant information to whoever will take on this role, and ensure without
question that the rider is controlled and taught in a safe manner.
Your KUBERG motorcycle is highly adjustable and can be set up specically for the rider.
Please do not allow the bike to be used or adjusted by other operators.
Your KUBERG motorcycle is driven by a powerful electric motor, which requires experience and
careful handling. The speed and torque settings MUST be set to suit the abilities of the rider.
Please remember that even when the torque setting is set to a slow setting, the torque on these
motors is virtually instant. This means that opening the throttle will propel the motorcycle to
a rapid speed almost instantly. For developing good riding skills this is a wonderful feature, as it
will teach riders throttle control gradually with lower power. If the maximum power and torque
is set too aggressively, the rider may accelerate to a speed he/she is not comfortable with. Your
X-Force Pro 50 has great capabilities, and can grow with the skills of the rider to very high levels
of performance, but it is IMPERATIVE that the responsible adult controls the entire learning
process and pays full attention at all times. You need to foresee all potential situations and
manage the riding environment and the rider accordingly.
KUBERG motorcycles are designed for o-road use only and must not be used on public roads
or sidewalks. Please check and obey all local and state laws. KUBERG motorcycles should only be
ridden in safe areas where all laws are being followed and all required permissions are given.
KUBERG motorcycles are amazingly capable, and can be used from the earliest stages of learning
to ride all the way through to veteran riders. The secret of learning to ride well is being able to
ride a lot, and KUBERG motorcycles make this learning process very gratifying.
Thanks again for purchasing a KUBERG motorcycle, and we hope you enjoy the ride!

To ensure optimum performance from your new KUBERG motorcycle, and to ensure safe op-
eration, it is important to fully understand the features of the motorcycle. This manual contains

ties and until you have received training in proper and safe riding techniques.
Motorcycles, including KUBERG electric motorcycles, are single–track vehicles. The safe use and
operation of such single–track vehicles depends on proper riding techniques and the experience
of their riders (operators).
Please read, understand and follow all Warning, Caution and Note notices on your KUBERG elec-
tric bike and those included in this manual. If you do not understand any part of this important
information, please contact your selling dealer/distributor or the KUBERG Customer Service

OWNER’S MANUAL 2017
SAFETY ADVICE
WARNING!
Failure to obey all of the warnings and instructions contained in this manual may result in serious
injury or death and/or permanent damage to your KUBERG motorcycle.
SPEED & TORQUE SETTINGS
Your KUBERG X-Force Pro 50 features a power and torque control button that must be set for the
abilities of the rider. This must be set by the responsible supervising adult before each and every
ride. Instructing and practicing in a controlled situation will allow the rider to learn how to operate
the motorcycle safely. Go to page 16 to nd detailed instructions how to set up the dierent
speed and torque modes.
WARNING: ADULT SUPERVISION REQUIRED
This vehicle must be used in the presence of adult supervision to ensure that safe riding practices
are established and followed. A parent should supervise their child’s operation of this vehicle at all
times. Parents should permit continued use of this vehicle only if they determine that their child
has the ability and judgment to operate the vehicle safely.
WARNING: OFF-ROAD USE ONLY
KUBERG motorcycles are designed primarily for OFF-ROAD use. Please check your local, state and
national regulations as to whether single–track, motorized electric vehicles are legal for road use
in your area. KUBERG X-Force Pro 50 is not approved for road use in the European Union.
ELECTRIC DRIVETRAIN
The fully electric drivetrain of this motorcycle diers from gasoline motorcycles, in that:
1There is very little engine braking and no engine noise.
2When going into corners or coming to a stop the rider will be fully dependent on the bike’s
brakes.
3Passers-by may not hear you approaching, so extra caution should be taken. Make yourself
conspicuous to reduce the chance of others being unaware of your presence.
4Be aware that your motorcycle is still ON when stopped and while at an ‘idle’. Accidentally
twisting the throttle can cause serious harm.
SAFE RIDING PRACTICES
1OPERATOR ONLY! No passengers!
2Long hair, loose clothing or items worn by the rider must be covered to prevent entangle-
ment in moving parts of the vehicle or the surroundings whilst riding.
3 Do not exceed the weight limit. Heavier riders may signicantly reduce performance and/or
render the vehicle unstable and/or over-tax the brakes and other control devices. Heavier
riders may cause structural damage not covered by the warranty.
7
4Do not touch any moving or hot parts.
5DO NOT RIDE AT NIGHT OR UNDER LOW VISIBILITY CONDITIONS. The KUBERG X-Force Pro
50 is not equipped with lights.
6Do not immerse this vehicle in water.
7Do not ride on steep or uneven surfaces. Steep or uneven surfaces greatly increase the
likelihood of loss-of-control.
8Do not ride faster than the conditions permit for safe operation. Excess speed greatly
increases the likelihood of loss-of-control.
9The rider should be securely seated on the vehicle ready to ride before turning the power
switch ON.
Although this bike is designed for professional racing, it is still important to ride where others can
see you. Avoid riding in another motorist’s blind spot. Know your skills and limits. Stay within your
limits in order to avoid an accident.
NOTE:
Many motorcycle accidents are caused by rider error. A typical error made by motorcycle riders is
veering wide on a turn due to EXCESSIVE SPEED or under cornering due to insucient lean angle for the
given speed.
WARNING!
Maintain a proper posture while riding. The posture of rider is important for proper control of the
motorcycle. The rider should keep both hands on the handlebars and both feet on the footrests
during operation in order to maintain control of the motorcycle. Never ride under the inuence
of alcohol or other drugs. Go to page 23 to nd detailed instructions concerning proper riding
technique.
ONE RIDER ONLY
Your bike was engineered to carry one rider and no (0) passengers. Carrying a passenger would
overload the motorcycle and alter the handling. Do not allow this to happen.
DO NOT OVERLOAD THE BIKE
Exceeding the weight limitations will adversely aect the handling of the motorcycle, and poten-
tially cause damage.
OBEY ALL LAWS
Obey all laws. KUBERG bikes are for OFF-ROAD USE ONLY. KUBERG bikes cannot be used on
public roads or sidewalks. The purchaser, owner, and/or riders of this motorcycle are directly
responsible for ensuring that they obey all local, state, and federal laws regarding the riding and
use of this motorcycle.
