WELCOME First off, welcome to the Wattwheels family! We are so happy to have you on board! You have picked a great model and, in this manual, we’re going to break down the basics to make sure that your trike remains in top shape and performs to the highest standard.
2. PLEASE WATCH OUR INSTRUTIONAL VIDEO ON OUR WEBSITE TO FAMILRIZE YOURSELF WITH THE TRIKE BEFORE YOU RIDE – NOTE THIS WILL BE AVAILABLE FROM JUNE 1 2020 3. WE SUGGEST RIDING THE TRIKE FIRSTLY WITHOUT ANY POWER TO GET FAMILIAR WITH HOW THEY RIDE. ONCE YOU ARE COMFORTABLE THEN START ON PAS LEVEL 1. WATTWHEELS LTD...

BATTERY DISPLAY CAPCITY The LCD display on the handlebar of your E-Trike XT Trike features a battery capacity gauge (much like the fuel gauge on a car).

- key and you can set at 32km/h or lower if required. SET 5 - Current which impacts on power. Default is the highest at 18ah. Please contact your local retailer if you need any assistance on this. Alternatively, you can check Wattwheels website for up-to-date instructional videos.
The throttle is located on the left-hand side of the handlebars in the form of a thumb piece as pictured below. Please be careful as these throttles are set to operate the E-Trike XT from stationary so any slight press of this will propel the E-Trike XT forward if the trike is in PAS 1 or above. The throttle can be used when taking off from a stationary start, as a cruise control or just if you need a break! Please be aware using the throttle will drain the battery much quicker than normal riding.
BRAKES The E-Trike XT electric trikes are equipped Tektro mechanical disk brakes. Please take care while braking initially, when getting familiar with the trike. The front wheel brake is located on right hand side with the rear wheel brake on the left. For riders which prefer the brakes the other way around please get your nearest bike shop to switch over if required.
DRIVING RANGE The range of your E-Trike XT is the distance the trike will travel on a single full charge of battery pack. The range values in this manual are estimates based on expected usage characteristics. Some of the factors which effect range include changes in elevation, speed, payload, and acceleration, number of starts and stops and ambient air temperatures.
We suggest that you ride conservatively when you first get your E-Trike XT to get to know your trike and travel routes. Once you become familiar with the range requirements of your travel routes, and the capabilities of your E-Trike XT you can then adjust you riding characteristics if you so desire.

The charge left in the battery should be 50%-75% for long storage times. Cleaning the battery and battery housing should only be done while disconnected and powered off. Use a dry rag or if needed a lightly damp rag. WATTWHEELS LTD...

Lithium-ion batteries can last longer if you recharge with 10-15% of the charge remaining to prevent damage to the cells. Keep both the battery and charger out of the reach of children and If there appears to be an issue with the charger or battery, stop use immediately and contact either the manufacturer or Wattwheels at admin@wattwheels.co.nz BEST PRACTISES FOR EXTENDING BATTERY LIFE o Use Pedal to assist when climbing hills and accelerating from a stop.
• Please do not dismantle and repair parts by yourself. Please go to your local bike repair shop.

We carry spare parts so anything electrical that a standard trike shop doesn’t have we will ship to your nearest retailer.
In public places, your E-Trike XT must be parked in accordance with local rules and regulations. o If you must park outdoors in rain, or wet conditions you should only leave your E-Trike XT outside for a few hours and proceed to park the trike in a dry location afterwards to allow all the systems to dry out.
