  • Page 3: Welcome

    We suggest that you read this manual in its entirety before using your bicycle. Because Continuous Improvement is a key operational philosophy at EVELO Electric Bicycles, some images and descriptions in this manual may differ slightly from the bike you have.
  • Page 4: Unboxing

    Since the bikes are heavy, we have a couple of suggestions for removing the it from the box: If you intend to lift the bike up and out of the box, a second person is highly recommended. The Compass intentionally ships upside down (resting on the basket) and assembly assumes this starting position.

    BATTERY CARE & MAINTENANCE The battery provided with your EVELO Electric Bicycle is a high-quality unit that requires very little from the user in terms of care. However, a few things are worth noting with respect to any Lithium Ion battery.

  • Page 12 Step 2 Attach Front Fender 1. Rotate the front fork so that it faces forward.

  • Page 18: Seat Adjustment

    FIT ADJUSTMENTS Many parts of your new EVELO Electric Bicycle can be customized for a personalized fit. Seat Adjustment The seat is easily adjusted up or down by flipping the quick-release lever that clamps the post into the bike. Note that there is a “minimum insertion line” stamped on the seat post that must be adhered to for safety’s sake.
  • Page 19: Riding And Use Of Your Compass

    RIDING YOUR EVELO ELECTRIC BICYCLE PRE-RIDE CHECKLIST Carry out this pre-ride checklist before EVERY RIDE! Make sure the tires are properly inflated. All bicycle tires gradually lose air over time, and this can affect handling, range, and puncture-resistance. Are all the “Quick Release” levers tight? Are the folding release levers secure and locked? Check both wheels for broken spokes.

Information in the complete manual includes such topics as how to change settings, error code information and so forth.
  • Page 21 USB PORT -- There is a USB port located on the front edge of the display for charging cell phones etc. When using this port, make sure that the charge cord for you accessory in no way will interfere with the operation of the bicycle.

  • Page 22 PEDAL-ASSIST, THROTTLE, AND SHIFTING Multiple levels of power assist are provided by the motor. The level of assist provided at any given time can be adjusted using the display panel on the handlebars. A sensor at the crank activates the motor when the pedals receive pressure from the rider.
  • Page 23: Best Performance

    RIDING IN THE RAIN EVELO Electric Bicycles are designed so that you can operate them in rainy weather. Factory-level design elements keep the electrical components well-protected. However, if you do choose to ride in the rain, be aware that necessary braking distances can be increased significantly, and keep in mind that the road surface can be slick.
  • Page 24: Safety

    Our Compass uses 24" diameter wheels and wide tires, which lower the center of gravity and improve stability; however, the rider must use caution while turning -- the sharper the turn and the faster the speed, the greater the risk of tipping.
  • Page 25: Maintenance

    If your brakes are worn beyond this adjustment, either take the bike to a local bike shop for professional service, or contact EVELO for additional instructions. • Tune-Up — We recommend a full-service tune-up annually by a professional bicycle mechanic.
