  • Page 2 Introduction Thank you for buying a PowaCycle Ranger electric bike. We hope it brings you many hours of enjoyment. For safe and compact shipping, we have despatched your PowaCycle Ranger part assembled. It therefore requires some assembly work before you can begin riding.
  • Page 3: Charge The Battery

    Assembly Instructions Charge the Battery Before assembling your PowaCycle, you should charge the battery. This will allow you to test the electrical connections during assembly. Remove the battery and charge it indoors. It may take up to 8 hours to fully charge the battery. When charged, the LED turns from red to green.

    Fitting the Handlebars The handlebars are already attached to the frame via cables. They now need to be inserted into the frame as shown. Align the handlebars 90 degrees to the forks. Finally, use an Allen key or hexagonal tool to tighten the handlebars in place.

    Fitting the Wheel Remove the black plastic front fork protectors, which are part of the protective packing material.

This means that, as soon as the rider begins to pedal, the motor supplies energy to support the cyclist’s efforts. If the rider prefers to cycle without the assistance of the motor, he or she should leave the ignition off.

    User Safety Cycle Helmets Although there is no legal requirement to wear a cycle helmet, we recommend that you do so for your safety. Wearing a cycle helmet has been proven to reduce the likelihood of head injuries. Professional Maintenance We recommend that you have your cycle serviced by a professional cycle engineer at least once a year to ensure ongoing safe performance.
