  • Page 3 As a result it requires the rider to be very aware of the power it has and the weight of the bike and rider. When handled correctly, it has lots of power to keep you safe… but if abused, it can get you into trouble fast. The RYNO is not designed to go over large bumps and curbs.
  • Page 4 Warning As with any vehicle, when riding the Micro-Cycle, you risk death or serious injury from loss of control, collisions, and falls. To ensure your safety, please read the instructions and cautions in this Rider’s Guide before you ride your Micro-Cycle.

    Micro-Cycle to maintain an upright attitude. Ryde-Ex software will remind you when you are outside the balance window, going too fast or accelerating too fast by tipping the bike back (raising the handlebars) momentarily. As you learn to ride the Micro-Cycle, you will instinctively calibrate your riding behavior to stay within the balance window.

  • Page 8: Before You Ride

    • Communicate with pedestrians. For example, say “on your left” when you are overtaking someone on their left side. • Park the Micro-Cycle out of the way. The Micro-Cycle can be parked at a bike rack or by a light pole as you would a bicycle, but make sure it is not impeding pedestrian traffic.
  • Page 9 Before You Ride Safety checklist Here’s what you should know and practice to be a safe rider. Wear a helmet and shoes Recognize unsafe riding behaviors and know how to avoid them (pg. 10) Check that the batteries are charged (pg. 13) Adjust seat height and tilt (pg.
  • Page 10 • Do not ride while impaired by alcohol, drugs, or prescription medications. • Do not ride up or down a curb or stairs while sitting on the Micro-Cycle. If you must go up a curb or stairs, dismount and walk next to the Micro-Cycle.

  • Page 11: Operating Modes

    Do not sit on the bike when taking it out of balance, and be prepared to stabilize the bike as it switches out of balance mode. Balance check Before getting on the Micro-Cycle, put pressure on the handlebars to be sure that the Micro-Cycle is in balance. If the RYNO is in balance, it will remain upright.

  • Page 12: Batteries

    1. Open the battery cover by pulling on the chrome handle. 2. Connect the chargers to the batteries. You can charge the batteries in the Micro-Cycle, or you can remove them and take them to a standard wall outlet for charging. To remove batteries, pull the catch ring and slide it out.
  • Page 13 • Once the chargers recharge the batteries they continue to maintain a trickle charge, so you can safely plug the Micro-Cycle into an outlet after every ride and leave the chargers connected. • If you ride infrequently, don’t wait too long between charges. Keep the batteries plugged into the charger.

  • Page 14: Adjusting Your Micro-Cycle

    • Seat tilt It is essential for a RYNO that the rider’s center of gravity is also centered over the wheel. If the rider is off balance, when the rider puts the bike into balance mode the bike will roll forward or backward making it hard to control. The rider can easily compensate for this condition by leaning forward or back, but for optimum riding experience the rider’s spine should be in a straight upright riding position.
  • Page 15 5. Tighten the adjustment bolt. 6. Stand next to the RYNO (on the left), turn the RYNO on with the key and press the power button. While holding the handlebars with the left hand, throw your leg over the bike and slowly lower your weight onto the seat.
  • Page 16 The Micro-Cycle uses the drive motors to accelerate the wheel to create a kick-back effect when the rider exceeds the speed limit, accelerates too fast, or climbs too steep a hill. The effect is as if you are riding and the handlebars are suddenly raised up to get you to slow down.

  • Page 17: Learning To Ride

    • Step 3: As you gain confidence, rock farther forward to increase your speed. Keep your weight over the center of the wheel. If you go faster that 5 MPH the handlebars will gently come up to slow you down. This is the way the RYNO will communicate to you. As you increase in speed settings this feedback will be what lets you know you have reached to edge of the speed setting.

  • Page 18: Slowing And Stopping

    The stop-assist lever is not a brake. It does not directly stop the Micro-Cycle or take balance away from you. Instead, the stop-assist lever accentuates the effect of leaning back by tilting the frame back. This sits you back at an angle that lets you slow the Micro-Cycle more aggressively.

  • Page 19: Steering

    In other words, you must keep your hips over the center of the Micro-Cycle while turning – you do not lean into corners like you would on a traditional bicycle or motorcycle.

  • Page 20: Parking

    5. Turn the key to the left to power off. 6. Be sure and secure your RYNO if parked on a slope of any kind. Use a traditional bike lock to secure it to a bicycle rack or solid structure if parked on a slope to prevent your Micro-Cycle from rolling down a hill.

  • Page 21: Care And Maintenance

    • Periodically check the tire pressure using a standard pressure gauge. Pressure should be between 35 and 40 psi. Low tire pressure will make the Micro-Cycle hard to steer. To check the air pressure and add or remove air, locate the valve stem on the right side of the wheel in the hubcap opening (as shown in picture).
