Please don't dismantle and repair parts by yourself, please go to your local bike repair shop. This bike
comes with a manufacturer's warranty (document included) so any standard repairs please contact

so anything electrical that a standard bike shop doesn't have we will ship to you.
BEST PRACTISES FOR EXTENDING BATTERY LIFE
Notice: It is recommended that users pay close attention and ride within the following limitations to
ensure the mid-drive motor does not overheat or become damaged from excessive loading.
o Do not climb hills steeper than 20% in grade.
o Pedal to assist the motor when climbing hills and accelerating from a stop.
o Avoid sudden starts and stops.
o Accelerate slowly.
PARKING, STORAGE & TRANSPORT
Please follow these basic parking, storage and transport tips to ensure your bike is well cared for on
and off the road.
o When pushing the vehicle manually, turn off the power to avoid accidental acceleration from the
motor.
o It is recommended to park indoors.
o Switch the power off, and any lights to conserve battery. Remove the key from the bike and ensure
the battery is locked to the frame or removed and brought with you for security.
o In public places, your Scout Bike must be parked in accordance with local rules and regulations.
o If you have to park outdoors in rain, or wet conditions you should only leave your Scout Bike outside
for a few hours and proceed to park the bike in a dry location afterwards in order to allow all the
systems to dry out. Much like a regular bike, use in wet conditions mandates a more regular
maintenance schedule to ensure your bike does not become rusty, corroded and to ensure all systems
are always working safely.
o Do not park, store, or transport your Scout Bike on a rack that is not designed for the size and
weight of the bike.
o Wide tyres, as used on Scout Bikes, cannot fit into all bike racks, please select an appropriate rack
for the width of tyres used on your bike.
o Locking up your bike is recommended to ensure your bike is secure and the chance of theft is
reduced.
Bikes makes no claims or recommendations on the proper lock hardware or procedures to secure your
bike, but we do recommend you take the appropriate precautions to keep your Scout Bike safe from
theft.
o When storing your bike or carrying your bike on a rack for transport, you can remove the battery
pack to reduce the weight of the bike and make lifting and loading easier.
