OPERATIONAL INSTRUCTIONS Chapter 1: Introduction Prodeco Technologies thanks you for your purchase of your new Phantom X2. Your bicycle is a high quality and environmentally friendly light electric vehicle. This manual will serve to provide you with the information needed to operate, maintain and enjoy it safely.
As a parent or guardian, you should read and understand this manual. Before letting any child ride the Phantom X2 or any of Prodeco Technologies electric bicycles, review with them all warnings and cautions; as well as the information on the proper usage of your battery pack, charger and bicycle.
Chapter 3: Basic Instructions a) Bicycle fit It is very important your Phantom X2 is properly adjusted for comfort and to avoid the possibility of losing control while riding.

Trails and Pedestrian Walkways to implement the "other circumstances" provision.

Riding an electric bicycle Riding an electric bike is similar to riding a non-electric bike but there are some differences to note.
Using your twist throttle The variable throttle on your Phantom X2 was designed to allow you the ability to choose the speed to ride at and determine the amount of torque off the line. The throttle operates similar to an automobile; the twisting of the throttle mimics the depressing of the accelerator.
n) Watching for obstacles around you Your new Phantom X2 travels at higher speeds than most riders are accustomed to, when compared to pedaling a traditional bicycle. It is very important you are aware of your surroundings and obstacles which may appear near you. You must watch the road surface you are traveling on which could cause the tires to slip or cause a flat.
Periodically inspect frame, fork, spindles and other components for cracking. Parts should be adjusted to manufacturer's torque specifications. Inflate tires to recommended pressure, and replace worn tires. Lightly oil and clean moving parts. Keep oil off rubber. ...
You can contact Prodeco Technologies directly by phone or email and we will assist you with the proper adjustments for your bicycle and your size. The following list is the areas of adjustability the Phantom X2 offers: ...

FINE TUNING Before each ride Check cables for signs of wear or fraying. Squeeze the brake lever firmly and check for proper brake function. Adjust for pad wear if necessary. Check pads for wear and replace if necessary. Ensure rotors are free of foreign substances and oils. Cable Slack Adjustment Use the barrel adjuster on the brake lever to remove any cable slack from the system.
Adjust the Pads Turn both pad adjustment knobs counterclockwise until desired pad/rotor clearance is achieved (approx. 2 or 3 clicks each). Important: only use the barrel adjuster at the brake lever to adjust for cable slack. For lever throw, use the outboard adjustment knob.
For a more detailed adjustment of the derailleur, you should bring your bicycle to an authorized Prodeco dealer or a neighborhood bike shop who services SRAM derailleurs. There is also a SRAM derailleur guide included with your bike.
