Jones Ebike Supplemental Manual

Jones Ebike Supplemental Manual
Version 1.0 – Plus LWB HD/e Electric Bicycles, Class 1 & 2
Thank you for your purchase of a Jones electric bicycle. You now own one of the most versa-
tile bicycles ever made! This supplement to the Bicycle Owner's Manual contains information
specific to your ebike that will help you get the most out of every ride. Both manuals contain
essential information about your new Jones electric bicycle. We understand that manuals
aren't usually exciting, but this one has some really useful information in it, so please take the
time to read it in its entirety. Refer to the Bicycle Owner's Manual for warnings, cautions, and
general bicycle information not included here.
We recommend that only an experienced bicycle mechanic build, tune and maintain the bike.
If you feel that you are capable of assembling and maintaining this bicycle yourself, you ac-
cept responsibility for anything that may happen as a result of improper assembly, mainte-
nance, or any other oversight. We do not provide full instructions or information for you to
assemble, tune, or maintain the bike. It is important to do this work correctly to have a safe,
reliable, and fun bicycle. When in doubt, take the bike to your Jones dealer and have them
check it out!
Obey all local rules and regulations. In most places, the rules for using an electric bicycle
are the same as those for a standard bicycle. However, there may be local differences such
as where you can ride, minimum rider age, or required equipment and registration. It is the
rider's responsibility to know the local regulations that apply to an electric bicycle and obey
them.
WARNING
!
Bicycle riding always involves risks and dangers, including but not limited to death
and severe neck or spinal injuries. Wearing a helmet and riding within your limits
can reduce your risk of harm, but it can never eliminate the risk. By riding this bi-
cycle, you assume all the risks and hazards incidental to bicycling. You also release
and hold harmless Jeff Jones, Jeff Jones Bicycles, and Mud Springs LLC with respect
to injury, disability, or death. Do not ride at night without lights and reflectors.
Please refer to the Bicycle Owner's Manual for more information.
GENERAL INFORMATION AND NOTES FOR USING
YOUR JONES ELECTRIC BICYCLE

MOUNTING AND REMOVING THE BATTERY

The battery is attached to the frame using a mounting bracket. To remove the battery, use
the key to unlock it from the mount. Then, slide the battery up and forward off the mounting
bracket. To reinstall the battery, start by making sure the key is in the unlocked position. Place
the battery on the mounting bracket and slide it down into position until firmly seated. Lock
the battery in place and remove the key. Verify that the battery is locked in position by trying
to slide it up the rail.
The lock on the battery serves two very important purposes:
1. Protecting against theft.
2. Preventing the battery from becoming dislodged and falling off while riding.
Always lock the battery in place and remove the key when riding.

CHARGING

Fully charge the battery before your first ride. Check the charge level indicator light on the
side of the battery by holding the button (Figure 3, M). Only use the specified charger (provid-
ed) to avoid overcharging of the battery. Store and charge the battery at room temperature.
Charging the battery at low or high temperatures (below 32° F/0° C or above 100° F/37° C) can
have a negative impact on its performance and capacity. We recommend charging the battery
when it is at 50% or less capacity. Avoid storing the battery when it is fully depleted.
To charge the battery:
• Turn on the battery (Figure 1, C). "O" is off, "I" is on.
• Plug the charger into an electrical outlet. The charger light should turn green.
• Plug the charger into the battery charging port (Figure 1, D). The charger light will turn
red while charging.
• The charger light will turn green when the battery is charged. When charging is com-
plete, disconnect the charger from the battery and outlet.
• If at any time the battery or charger becomes hot, emits a strong odor, changes color,
deforms, or shows any other abnormality, stop use immediately. Remove the battery to
a safe location (outside) only if it is safe to do so.
• Do not use a battery that shows signs of damage or is not working properly.
• Please see the included Li-ion Battery Operating Manual for more information.
WARNING
!
Although rare, lithium batteries are capable of failure if used improperly or mis-
handled. In case of fire, use an ABC fire extinguisher if it is safe to do so. Please
see the Li-ion Battery Operating Manual for additional information.

POWERING ON AND USE OF YOUR JONES ELECTRIC BICYCLE

The HMI (Human Machine Interface) displays the following:
A
C

You can ride a Jones electric bike just like a regular pedal bike if you don't turn it on. It's a
bit heavier, but it still pedals very easily and efficiently. To turn the bike on, first make sure
the switch on the battery is in the on position (Figure 1, C), then press and hold the power
button on the HMI until the display illuminates (Figure 2, K). Power levels are displayed on the
HMI as 1-5, with 1 being the least amount of power and speed and 5 being the most. Change
H
between levels by pressing the "+" or "-" buttons. We recommend starting on 1 to get a feel
for how it works.
When you begin pedaling, the motor assist will automatically start. Increasing the power lev-
els will increase the amount of assistance the motor puts out. We like to think of it in this way:
E
pedal the bike like you would pedal a regular bicycle, choosing an easy gear when going uphill
or a hard gear when going fast. Then, select a power level for how much power and speed
you desire. The pedal assist only turns on when you are pedaling. When you start pedaling,
E. Motor there will be a slight delay before the motor turns on. When you stop pedaling, there will be a
F. Shift Sensor slight delay before the motor turns off.

THROTTLE

H. Battery/Motor Disconnect & Auxiliary Cable
If your Jones electric bicycle is equipped with a throttle (Figure 2, I), it can be used for a boost
of power while pedaling or for power while not pedaling. The throttle is also helpful when
starting from a stop. We recommend always shifting into a lower gear when coming to a stop,
so you are in an easier gear when you start pedaling again. Never start on a hill in a high gear,
as this adds undue stress to the motor. Ride it like a normal bike and think of the motor as
an additional help. Light pressure on the throttle will gradually get you up to a comfortable
pedaling speed, where you can then use the pedal assist by itself. Electric motors run at higher
rpm, so we always recommend pedaling at a normal cadence or slightly faster. When done rid-
ing, press and hold the power button to turn off the HMI and then turn off the battery. The
HMI is also equipped with an auto-off feature and will shut off after 5 minutes of inactivity.
