BRAKES
The Bighorn electric bikes are equipped Shimano or Tektro hydraulic disk brakes. Please be aware the hydraulic disk brakes are very strong, so care is
to be taken braking initially, when getting familiar with the bike. 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.
SHIFT SENSOR
On our Bighorn bikes we have included a shift sensor which is designed to protect the motor system, chain, cassette and derailleur and allow quieter,
smoother gear changes. The system works by cutting the motor for a split second when changing gears therefore allowing a smoother gear change
and puts less stress on the chain and motor system. For some people they may prefer to disconnect this system to get a slightly better response
when changing gears. Please contact your local e-bike store if you wish to get this disconnected.
TYRE PRESSURE
To avoid flats, keep tyre pressure at the recommended PSI. On off-road terrain a slightly lower PSI will provide more grip, but flats can occur. We
recommend a pressure of between 35-50PSI
DRIVING RANGE
The range of your Bighorn is the distance the bike 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. Tyre pressure and terrain are also important variables to consider.
We suggest that you ride conservatively when you first get your Bighorn Bike to get to know your bike and travel routes.
Once you become familiar with the range requirements of your travel routes, and the capabilities of your Bighorn Bike you can then adjust you riding
characteristics if you so desire.
The following table provides general estimates and outlines various factors effecting range and their combined estimated effects on range. This table
is meant to help owners understand the factors that can increase or decrease range, but Wattwheels makes no claims to the range that individual
users might obtain.
