2. Operation
Your new electric assistance bicycle is a revolutionary means of transport,
using an aluminum frame, Li-Ion battery, a super high efficiency electric hub
motor, and controller with electric pedal assistance system, to support normal
pedaling. These components will ensure safe riding with excellent function and
performance. It's important for you to note the following guidelines to get the best
possible riding experience.
• Always check your bicycle before riding
• Ensure that the tires are fully inflated as indicated on the tire sidewall.
• Remember, performance of the bike and battery range is directly related to
the weight of the rider and baggage/load, together with the stored energy
in the battery. Battery range/performance can vary significantly based on
terrain, load, & weather conditions.
•
Charge overnight, prior to riding the next day.
• Clean and apply chain lube periodically as needed. With a soft rag or towel,
wipe off excess lube. Clean and lubricate half-yearly (minimum).
