c. Loosen the two mount adjustment bolts that hold the main body of the brake onto the mounting yoke or fork. These bolts aim forward along the axis of the rotor, with one above and below the calipers. The holes for these bolts allow for some side-to-side "play" that positions the caliper mechanism.
e. With the cable loose, push the brake arm upward a bit until it stops moving. (At this point, it has pushed the pads against the rotor.) Now back off about 1/2 to 3/4 inch of cable length.

ATTENTION: When riding down hills, do not turn off the power, otherwise the controller and motor will be easily damaged which is NOT covered under warranty. While running, if the battery power is getting low, the battery meter will lessen. At this time you should pedal your e-bike like a regular bike and charge the battery as soon as you get to an electrical outlet.
To prevent premature failure of your battery and for your warranty to remain in effect on your battery; YOU MUST CHARGE THE BATTERY AT LEAST ONCE PER 6-8 WEEKS! Always turn off the bike before and during charging to prevent serious damage to the controller and to the batteries! This electric bicycle can be used in the rain.
When cleaning your electric bike, do not use a steady direct stream of water from a hose. Use a cloth to avoid short-circuiting any electrical components. Your electric bike has a durable finish and does not need to be waxed. Clean with a mild detergent and buff to restore its original shine.
Do not use any charger other than the one that came with your GIO Electric Bike. If you ever do need to replace the charger, contact your local dealer. Do not attempt to open or repair your charger. The electronics contain high-tech circuits, so don’t dismantle by you.

8 MAINTENANCE Wheels - Wheels should be properly placed in the fork or dropouts. If you hear any irregular noise from the wheels or brakes, they should be checked and adjusted. The wheels should rotate smoothly without wobbling from side to side. Check the bearing play of the hubs regularly by lifting the bicycle and spinning the wheel.
9 Troubleshooting A. You turn the power on, the indicator lights are all on, but with throttle or pedal assist, the e-bike doesn’t work. 1. Check if the battery fully charged. 2. Check wires / connections. 3. Controller needs to be replaced. 4.
H. You plug in the charger to the e-bike and the outlet, and the green light comes on instead of the red light. 1. Check to see if the batteries are fully charged. 2. Check whether the charger is plugged in properly to both the battery and the outlet. 3.
