Taking Off - FiField Bonfire Owner's Manual

Check your e-bike before riding
everytime
Before operating your electric
bicycle, inspect it carefully to avoid
accidents or damage. Inspect your
bike completely before each ride.
CAUTION
Always keep the power switched
OFF before riding. Turn on only
after you are ready to ride.
Turning the power on and then
accidentally twisting the throttle
can result in the e-bike lurching
forward and may cause an
accident, damage, or injury.
If the battery was removed,
place the battery back into its
location and be sure to lock it and
remove key. Check to see that the
battery is fully charged (battery
level indicated on screen) before
riding and check the air pressure of
the tires (45 – 50 psi). Be sure to
test the front and back brakes, as
well as the condition of the
handlebars and the front and back
wheels.
Make sure that everything is
fastened and secure. Be sure to
check that all quick releases are
locked and in good working order.
WARNING
Do not leave the key in the
battery lock while riding to avoid
breaking the key.

Taking off

As the bike starts, accelerate
slowly; do not try to get to your
maximum speed right away
because doing so could damage
the electric components.
If applied, the hand brake will
automatically cut the power to the
motor as well as release the
throttle. You should avoid using
the throttle while brakes are
being applied so that you do not
overload the motor. When starting
from an elevated path, pedal as
much as possible so that the
electric power will last longer.
Pedaling more than using solely
the throttle will lenghten the life of
the battery and motor.
Going downhill
When going downhill, please
do not turn the power off. If you
are not pedaling or using the
throttle, there will be no power
assist when traveling downhill. If
you turn the power off, it could
easily damage the controller and
motor.
