- Page 11 Further notes on battery care can be found under Section 4.2 Battery and Charger. Step 6. Your e-bike is now assembled, but it is not quite ready for the first ride. Please continue to read through this manual paying particular attention to Section 3 ensuring that all bolts screws etc. are firmly tightened to the recommended specification.
- Page 12 To ride safely and comfortably your e-bike and its equipment must be matched properly to the size and skills of the rider. An e-bike that is too big or too small for the rider is hard to control and can be uncomfortable.
- Page 13 Keep the disc rotors and brake pads clean and free of lubricants, waxes or polishes. WARNING The e-bike is equipped with a front disc brake and it can achieve a very high braking force. In sharp turns, on sandy or slippery roads, wet asphalt and icy paths; apply the front brake carefully, so that the front wheel will not slip.
- Page 14 Note in the lower gears the crank will turn more in relation to the road speed, this will cause the e-bike controller to provide greater assistance. With experience you will learn the best gear to use in conjunction with the PAS level to maintain the desired road speed.
- Page 15 3.7 Tyres Ensure tyres are correctly inflated. Under inflated tyres can lead to punctures or damage to rims. In addition to standard manual air pumping, the tyres can be inflated with air compressor devices like those found at service stations. We recommend a tyre pressure for front and rear at 420 kPa, (equivalent to approximately 60 PSI or 4.1 Bar).
- Page 16 The forks can be set to the locked position by a level located on the top right hand leg. In the event that the front forks need to be replaced it is critical that they are replaced with a component of the same specification. Forks of a different size may cause your e-bike to become unsafe.
- Page 17 We recommend you disable the assistance in hard rain, in sandy terrain and in heavy traffic. If you have to wheel the e-bike, switch off the control panel in case the motor might suddenly start due to an unintended crank rotation.
- Page 18 NOTE Two keys are supplied with your e-bike; store one in a safe place in case the other is lost. To charge the battery plug the charger into a regular 240-Volt wall socket, the other small plug can then be inserted into the battery by lifting the small flap next to the battery power switch.
- Page 19 Before re-using the battery after long periods, charge the battery fully. Keep the battery as close to normal room temperature as possible by parking the bike out of the sun on hot days and not leaving in hot cars or sheds. If necessary remove the battery from the bike.
