    Getting Started...

  • Page 4: Unpacking

    You only need to unfold the handlebars and attach the seat. Here’s how to do it: 1. Start by opening the box. Place one foot inside the box and lift the bike so it’s standing on both wheels. Now pick the bike up and set it outside the box. Make sure you kick the kickstand down so it stands on its own.
  • Page 5 6. Now it’s time to adjust the seat to your leg reach. Start by sitting on the bike with the kickstand up. Open the seat lever by pulling it away from the bike.

  • Page 6: The First Ride

    How to master your new BiGHA You’re ready to take your first spin on a BiGHA. Riding the bike should be easy, but don’t sweat it if you don’t pick it up immediately. It’s a new exercise, and like anything, it takes some getting used to.

  • Page 7: Customizing Your Bigha

    Do you find the steering to be twitchy and difficult to balance? If so, you’re over-steering the bike. Quite literally, you need to sit back in the seat and relax your upper body, especially your arms and shoulders. Pretend you’re sitting in your car seat and your arms are draped over the steering wheel.
  • Page 8 In case you forgot how to do this, just stand in front of the bike with the wheel sandwiched between your legs. Now twist the handlebar stem until it’s aligned with the front wheel.
  • Page 9 Twist knob Shifting Gears: Your BiGHA has 27 gears. Nine gears are on a standard chain ring – otherwise known as a cassette – and three riding modes are available via an internal hub.

  • Page 10: Powering The Electronics

    Tip: You can see the internal hub on your rear tire – it’s the silver piece of metal in the center. Now look at the drive side of the bike, directly above the derailleur. There’s another gray and black component called the Clickbox.

    Using Your Electronics...

  • Page 12: Electronics Operation

    It starts again automatically whenever you move the bike or press any button. You bike is shipped in hard off condition to preserve battery life. When yo u first get the bike you’ll need to press the right turn signal button once. Normal operations should immediately begin.

  • Page 13: Console Operation

    Automatic startup of the electronics can be a problem when you are transporting the bike. If you mount the bike on a car rack and start driving, the car’s motion will make the bike think it is in use, wasting valuable battery energy. A feature called “hard off” is provided to overcome that problem.

  • Page 14: English/Metric Display

    English/Metric Display BiGHA can display measurements of speed, distance, elevation and temperature in either English or metric. To alternate between the two formats simply do a long press on the select button (the middle button with the green stripe).

    120 feet when Jim parked it after a long ride. That night a weather system moved in and changed the barometric pressure. But when Jim gets on his bike the next day his altimeter still displayed 120 feet. Why? BiGHA’s altimeter is self regulated by a motion detector.

  • Page 16: Clock

    Even if your altimeter’s absolute readings are distorted by changes in the weather, BiGHA’s altimeter will still accurately register changes during your ride. So if you climb a 300 foot hill, you’ll still see a net elevation gain of 300 feet on your altimeter regardless of whether or not the base reading is correct.
  • Page 17 You may notice a little bouncing around of your altimeter’s last diigt. Your bike can be sitting still and have altimeter readings of 260 then 259, 258 and back to 260. We’re working to filter out such noise and still provide you moment by moment altitude updates as you descend steep hills, etc.
  • Page 18 Clock BiGHA’s bike clock is quite accurate: to within about four minutes a year. But daylight savings time or moves to other time zones brings the need to change even the most accurate clock. Doing so is easy. Just make a long Down press from the Odometer screen to enter the Calibration screen.
  • Page 19 A good goal is one complete turn in 15-20 seconds. When you’ve finished the circle, make a long press on the Up key. The Odometer screen returns. Turn your bike in a circle again to check that the compass is working. It will stay...

  • Page 20: Batteries

    Batteries From time to time you will need to change the batteries in your BiGHA. Just how often your batteries need depends on a number of variables – how often you ride, use of turn signals, horn and alarm, use of light, even the climate – that makes it impossible to tell when you’ll have to change them.

  • Page 22: Adjusting The Shock

    As a general guideline, one full rotation of the shock is equal to a 15 pound adjustment. So if you weigh 150 lbs and you loan your BiGHA to a 175 lb friend, you should turn the twist the shock clockwise almost 2 full rotations.

  • Page 23: Shifting Adjustments

    When you shift gears, you apply tension to a cable that stretches from the handlebar to the derailleur in the rear of the bike. When you shift into an easier gear, you pull on this cable. When you shift into a more difficult gear, you release tension.
