WELCOME First off, welcome to the Wattwheels family! We are so happy to have you on board! You’ve picked a great model and, in this manual, we’re going to break down the basics to make sure that your bike remains in top shape and performs to the highest standard.

BATTERY DISPLAY CAPCITY The LCD readout on the handlebar of your Scout Bike features a battery capacity gauge (much like the fuel gauge on a car). It is recommended that users stop operating the bike on electric once the bike starts flashing on the last bar and recharges. Remember you can still ride without using the...
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 Scout from stationary so any slight press of this will propel the Scout forward if the bike 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.
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 5-35PSI. Scout tyres can be run at a very low PSI for greater traction over looser surfaces like sand, snow or mud.
DRIVING RANGE The range of your Scout 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.

While sitting on the bicycle with one pedal at its lowest point, place the ball of your foot on that pedal. The correct saddle height will allow the knee to be slightly bent in this position. BATTERY & CHARGING 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.
• To replace the brake pads or perform other maintenance take it to a qualified bicycle mechanic at your local bike shop. • Properly inflate your tyres according to riding conditions. Under-inflated tyres are prone to get flats, especially if riding off-road. WATTWHEELS LTD...
In public places, your Scout Bike 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 Scout Bike outside for a few hours and proceed to park the bike in a dry location afterwards to allow all the systems to dry out.
Ensure mid-motor is spinning smoothly and the motor bearings are in good working order. o Ensure battery is charged before use. 11. Battery Pack o Ensure there is no damage to battery pack. o Lock battery to frame and check to see that it is secured. BASIC TROUBLESHOOTING WATTWHEELS LTD...

ERROR DECTECTION Your Scout Bike is equipped with an error detection system integrated into the LCD display and motor controller. In the case of an electronic control system fault an error code should display. The error codes are listed below and can help detect what the issue is on the bike. If your bike has an error code displayed at any time it is recommended that you cease operation and contact your local dealer or Wattwheels.
To ensure your bike remains in great shape just like a car it requires regular servicing. Failure to do so may void any potential warranty claims.
