“P” will appear as your assistance level. The “P” stands for parking so you are able to ride at very low speeds with minimal assistance. It also serves as a walk-assist when pushing your VOLT uphill. Note that once you set it to “P” assist, the bike will immediately move forward at a low speed.
5. Push the pedals (13) inwards to fold them. WARNING: When folding the VOLT, be careful to always turn the front wheel to the left and do not pinch the cables, as this may damage the cables. Damaged cables can result in loss of control of...
WARNING: Do not raise the seatpost (2) above the “minimum insert” line clearly printed on the backside of the seatpost (2).

6. When charging multiple batteries/ VOLTs on one charger, you will need to unplug the charger from the wall before attaching it to the next battery/VOLT. This will help the charger register the battery BMS to provide a full charge.
Page 31
* Depends on current battery usage level, climate conditions, earlier charging cycles. IMPORTANT: If your VOLT will be kept for a long period in extreme temperatures (below 0oC/32oF or above 35oC/95oF), remove the battery and keep it in a place where the temperature is between 4oC/40oF and 32oC/90oF.
Page 32
2. Disconnect the charger from the outlet first, then from the battery. 3. Go ride the VOLT like normal using the pedal assist and throttle (if you have one). 4. It is ok to discharge only part or all of the battery before the next charge is performed.
Page 33
When pedaling, try to keep a higher RPM(cadence) to further minimize strain on motor from torque overload. When riding uphill, set it to the lowest (easiest) gear possible and help your VOLT out by putting in at least 60% effort (especially on steep hills).
When walking with the VOLT, if you want to use the walk-assist be sure to turn it to “walk- assist” (18) by pressing the assist level arrow down for more than 3 seconds so you don’t automatically turn the throttle on and make the VOLT start suddenly and cause an accident.

Handlebar height To adjust height of handlebar (19) to match your comfort and riding style, first loosen the handlebar height quick release (12) located next to the front end of the frame. Adjust handlebar to desired height, making sure to center the handlebar so that it is perpendicular to the frame. Then securely tighten the quick release. Once tight, try to manually move the handlebar from side to side to make sure it is securely in place.

·Note which brake lever controls which wheel; left brake lever controls front wheel, right brake lever controls rear wheel. · Be sure to avoid abrupt or strong braking as it can cause you to fall off your VOLT. ·When braking, lean your body weight a bit rearward to counter balance the braking inertia.

BATTERY USAGE Gears All VOLT bikes come equipped with 8 gears (9). To change gears, simply turn the shifter knob, simply twist the shifter. One click per gear change. The higher the gear, the higher the resistance. Change gears to match your pedaling comfort level.

To make sure that your hanger is straight, and not bent inward or twisted in any way, stand behind the VOLT and look to see if the hanger is perfectly aligned with the derailleur’s pulley wheels.
BEFORE YOU RIDE WARNING: Follow this BEFORE YOU RIDE CHECKLIST each time you use your VOLT. Failure to follow this checklist could lead to an undetected problem that could result in your serious injury or death. • Check that quick release lever (3) for seatpost is tightly fastened. Check that bolt of saddle (1) is tight.
And if there remains any uncertainty, it is best to take your VOLT to your local bike shop. Be sure to keep your chain and all moving parts lubed so that they work effectively at all times.
• This usually occurs because there is not sufficient brake fluid in the braking system. This can be caused by: • A system leak causing fluid to escape. To fix this, please take your VOLT to your local dealer to fix the leak and replace the fluid.
Any form of crack, scratches, or change of coloring in highly stressed areas indicate that the life of the component has been reached and it should be replaced. Failure to repair or replace worn components could reduce your ability to control your VOLT and could cause you serious injury or death.
1. It is recommended to take your VOLT for a full tune-up and maintenance check by a bike mechanic on a regular basis, at least once a year. If you ride your VOLT often, take your VOLT in more often.
These items are warrantied to be free from manufacturer defects in materials and/or workmanship for a period of two years from the date you receive your VOLT. This warranty does not cover normal wear and tear.
