  • Page 11: Preparation For Riding

    PREPARATION FOR RIDING We recommend having your 345-E checked by a reputable bike shop before taking it out for its first ride. Extreme care should be taken when using the pedal assistance, which is activated by the cadence sensor in the bottom bracket (or by an optional thumb throttle). Make sure you understand and are prepared for the assistance to engage as you start pedalling.

    OPERATING YOUR 345 1. Check your battery is fully charged before going for a ride! 2. Insert the battery into the rear of the bike. To learn how to insert and remove the battery please refer to the Battery information on the next page of this manual. Make sure the battery is firmly locked in place! 4.
  • Page 13: Battery

    BATTERY The 345-E is equipped with a high-capacity lithium-ion rechargeable battery. Charge the battery fully before your first use. It will take around five hours to charge fully. The charger that comes with your e-bike recognises the battery pack’s initial charge and will automatically cease charging when the battery is fully charged.
  • Page 14 TO INSTALL THE BATTERY, slide it into the rack under the seat with both hands. The lock will prevent it going all the way in, so push the key into the lock and turn it anticlockwise. This will open the lock, allowing you to slide the battery fully into place. With the battery installed, turn the key clockwise, then remove it and keep it safe.
  • Page 15 Do not leave your battery plugged into the charger unattended • Charge your battery on a fire-resistant surface and/or in a safe place • Only use the battery supplied with your 345-E, or a replacement from NewGen Bikes • Keep the battery away from heat sources and fire •...

  • Page 17 Menu button Battery charge level The pedal assist level is selected by using the curved display of the 345-E as a rocker button. Pushing the top part of the display will increase the level of pedal assist, while pushing the bottom part will reduce it.
  • Page 18 To switch the light(s) off, press the top of the display for another two seconds. Remember to use both the front and rear lights when riding at night or in low-light conditions. If your 345-E doesn’t have a front light, we strongly suggest you purchase one before riding at night.
  • Page 19: Pre-Ride Safety Checklist

    PRE-RIDE SAFETY CHECKLIST Before riding your 345-E for the first time, and periodically thereafter, please pay close attention to the following: • We strongly recommend the use of an approved cycling helmet, even if their use is not mandatory in your country. Bike helmets save thousands of lives every year.
  • Page 20: Maintenance

    NewGen 345-E can improve the bike’s riding efficiency and extend the components’ lifespan. When carrying out any maintenance on your 345-E make sure the bike is turned off, is securely positioned and the battery is removed. This will reduce the potential for damaging the bike or injuring yourself.
  • Page 21 Always ensure tyres are inflated to the recommended pressure. This can be found written on the side wall of all tyres. The 345-E has 20 x 4-inch road tyres that should be pumped up to 20psi / 1.4 bar. Tyres that are too hard or too soft can reduce performance, increase tyre wear and make riding unsafe.
  • Page 22: Repairs & Maintenance Schedule

    Failure can cause injury and/or death, so it’s very important you check and service your 345-E regularly to make sure the bike is in good order and safe to ride. When replacing safety-critical components such as the frame, fork, tyres, wheels, brakes, lights, kickstand, handlebar, stem, drivetrain, battery, or display, always use genuine replacement parts to make sure they work safely with your 345-E.
