Safety Instructions Thank you for purchasing an evinci electric bike, designed by NZEBIKES. This electric bicycle features the most recent innovation in technology and applies to the AS/NZ standard. For safety reasons, it is most important that you read this User Guide BEFORE you operate the bike.
Introduction You have decided in favour of a Pedelec (Pedal Electric Cycle) - a bicycle that is equipped with an electric motor to give you additional assistance when riding. With this bicycle you can make better progress in headwinds, when transporting heavy loads or on steep slopes.
Robin Folding Bike Remove battery for easier handling 1. Fold both pedals by pulling the inner lock while swiveling. 2. Fold down the steerer tube by pulling the lever (lift safety lock pin first). Make sure no cables get jammed. 3.
Ref (1) How to use your charger To charge the battery your evinci bike comes with a 3Ah quick charger. Please do not use any other charger. If you want to charge your battery from a car or motor home (12V systems), NZEBIKES or your retailer can supply a special charger called PowerBuddy for this purpose.

The charger LED (1) indicates the battery status: STATUS green the battery is not connected the battery is charging green the battery is charged, the charger has switched off Before using your battery the first time, it has to be charged once over night for at least 12 hours.
When storing the battery for a longer time period, (e.g. over winter) it is important to place surface in a dry place. The battery should be re-charged once every 3 month when it is not used. Negligence could lead to complete discharge of the battery and this would void the warranty.
Before starting to ride Adjust Seat height Open the quick release lever at the seat clamp, adjust seat height and close the lever firmly. If the lever is too loose, open the lever again and turn the adjusting nut clockwise till you feel resistance. Now close lever again. It should close with noticeable resistance.
Adjust the stem and handlebar The models TUI and FALCON allow an adjustment of the handlebar in terms of angle and reach, while the ROBIN has a height adjustable stem. To adjust the angle, which will raise or lower the handlebar and changes also the distance to the rider you have to loosen the 6mm Allen Key screw.
Turning off: The display turns off automatically after 5 min. To manually turn it off keep the (M) button pushed for 2 seconds. Trip information: the display shows the current speed and trip details. By default the last travelled distance will be shown. By pushing the (M) button the following information can be displayed: Max speed for last trip ODO meter...
Gears Only change gears while pedalling otherwise the derailleur might get damaged If you have to change gears, i.e. to start off in first gear, lift the rear wheel using the side stand and turn the crank while changing gears. As a rule of thumb gears on a bike are changed and used similar to a car with a manual gearbox.
Maintenance Your evinci E-Bike needs regular maintenance as any other normal push bike. All bike shops can help you with these maintenance steps. There is no maintenance necessary on the electrical components. Brakes Examine the braking system frequently to ensure its reliability.
Gears Our bikes use a solid and easy to maintain Shimano Tourney gear system. It can happen after a while that gears do not perfectly change any more or you experience a rattling noise while pedalling. This is normal due to the nature of the used control wire hulls which get compressed over time.
Safety points We recommend a 6 month interval service or every 1000 km. Important checkpoints are: ▪ front axle nuts ▪ rear wheel axles nuts ▪ headset ▪ seat post clamp ▪ stem clamp ▪ brake caliper screws ▪ bottom bracket and crank ▪...
Trouble shooting Problem Resolution While riding the motor surges Check position of (turns on and off in an interval) magentic disc on the crank axle. Distance to sensor should be 2-3mm. Display is turned on, but motor 1. Check brake levers – if one of the brake won't start (throttle or pedal- levers is not in it's initial position the assist)
Glossary BMS is an electronic circuit for battery monitoring. It increases a battery pack's safety by making sure that all cells are operated within the permitted voltage range only. When current is too high, temperature is too high or one line of batteries inside the battery is outside the permitted voltage range the charge output will be switched off.
