RIDING TIPS TO MAXIMIZE YOUR BATTERY
To increase battery life and reduce wear on the
components, follow these tips:
»
Use the pedals as often as possible, especially
when starting.
»
DO NOT simply rely on the throttle for power.
»
Start in a low gear and low power. This means
looking ahead, and possibly shifting to a lower
gear before coming to a stop so you are in the
right gear to resume riding again.
»
Use low gears for climbing steep hills. Avoid
putting unnecessary torque on the transmission.
»
Minimize starts and stops by looking ahead and
planning your route.
»
Use higher tire pressure.
In the first 20 miles or so, the cables and system
components will settle and therefore may need to
be adjusted. If you are unfamiliar with adjusting the
derailleur, Google, “Derailleur Adjustment Video”
or reach out to your local bike shop for help.
HOW TO ADJUST THE FRONT SUSPENSION FORK
The dial over the right fork is to lock out the fork.
Turn clockwise to lock suspension travel. Turn
counter-clockwise to unlock suspension, and allow
the suspension to travel.
The cap over the left fork covers a valve to adjust
the pressure in the air forks. Use a high-pressure
shock pump to adjust the air pressure. (Given the size
of the valve, do not use a compressor or any other
type of pump). You may purchase a shock pump at
www.bakcou.com on the Accessories page.
Recommended air pressure is 140 psi and then
adjust accordingly to rider weight, terrain and
personal preference.
