What are your recommendations for my first ride?

First and foremost, be safe and always obey traffic rules!

Follow all instructions to set up your bike properly.
Verify all installed items (handlebar, pedals, wheels, seat, etc.) and connectors are properly tightened.
Fully charge your battery.
Verify the battery is properly seated by removing it and reinstalling it properly.
Check your tire pressure.
Verify the brake levers are functioning while walking the bike. Familiarize yourself with the brake lever for safety.
While the bike is off, perform a quick test ride to ensure the bike is assembled properly and rides comfortably.
While standing with both feet off the pedals, turn on the bike and check the battery charge on the LCD screen.
Select ECO mode to get used to riding the bike with the assist activated.
Your brakes will need to go through bedding in the process easily explained here by our Park Tool friends
If you find anything strange or unusual, stop and inspect your bike. Sometimes we miss obvious items such as lifting the kickstand.
