THROTTLE TAG (TWIST AND GO) Before you begin riding, turn the main power switch on, then start riding as you would ride any regular, non motor assisted bicycle. After you have begun to ride, slowly twist the throttle (on equipped models) towards you. The more you twist the throttle, the more motor power will be applied to the wheels.
STORAGE When storing your batteries for a long period of time (longer than two months): • Charge your batteries every 90 days to avoid capacity loss. Batteries slowly self-discharge when left unused for a long period of time; if the battery cells are allowed to reach a critically low voltage, their lifespan and capacity will be permanently reduced.
**Note: Your bicycle may be equipped with different style components than the ones illustrated within this manual. We recommend that you contact X-Treme if you have doubts or concerns as to your experience or ability to properly assembly, repair, or maintain your bicycle...

Insert the tapered Quick Release end of the seat post into the seat clamp until it is at the top of the clamp.
Figure 2 Figure 1 Figure 3 Figure 4 Figure 5 INSTALLING THE FRONT WHEEL Make sure the brakes are loose enough to allow the brake pads easily. Place wheel into fork drop outs (Figure 1). Insert Quick Release Axle (Figure 2) as shown in Figure 3 & 4 with nut. When axle is in place, push lever down on axle to lock into place (Figure 5).
DISC BRAKES Check the tightness of the six disc mounting bolts holding the brake rotor onto the wheel. If you need to remove these bolts, be sure to us a thread-locking compound when re-installing them. Make sure the two bolts securing the caliper adaptor bracket to the fork are tight. Thread the brake cable through the caliper as shown and secure it with the cable fixing bolt.

How To Check Battery Terminals If Battery Not Charging Properly 1.) Remove battery pack from bike 2.) Remove cap from end of battery that has the Four Slots (Key end). 3.) Remove cover plate. 4.) You are now able to look at the Red and Black wires; the Two Black wires should be on the same side as the Key. 5.) If the Black wires are not on the side of the Key carefully open the Terminal Block Cover.
After the cable is secured to the caliper, squeeze the lever several times to see if the brake rubs. At this point in time adjust the brake pads inward or outward depending on if the brake is rubbing or if there is a space between the pad(s) and rotor. (hint: a half turn of adjustment inward of the brake pad can be the difference between having a brake lever that feels spongy to one that is not.) How To Replace Brake Lever 1.) Loosen brake cable at caliper to gain slack in cable.
7.) With the wire connector removed from the wires you can now remove the wheel assembly. How To Replace Pedal Shaft (Left & Right is based on sitting on bicycle) Keep parts laid out in order for easier installment. Make yourself a drawing if needed and label each part when removed.
