-1. Correct application
1.Before the electrically power assisted cycle is used, the height of the saddle and the handlebar shall be adjusted to
ensure comfort during riding and reduce fatigue. The height of the saddle and the handlebar changes upon different
riders. Normally, the saddle shall be adjusted until the rider can put one foot on the ground (the whole cycle almost
stands vertically) and the handlebar shall be adjusted until the rider can stretch forearms comfortably and feel
shoulders and arms relaxed. However, it shall be ensured in advance that the seatpost and the handle stem are
inserted over the safety lines for the adjustment of the saddle and the handlebar.
2. Check and adjust the front and rear brakes before the electrically power assisted cycle is used. The front brake is
controlled by the right brake handle and the rear brake is controlled by the left brake handle. The front and rear
brakes shall be adjusted until braking is achieved by the left and right brake handles which reach half stroke. Replace
brake shoes timely when abraded excessively.
3. Check the chain before the electrically power assisted cycle is used. It is hard to ride when the chain is too tense
and it is easy to vibrate or touch other components when the chain is too loose. The chain slack shall be 1-2mm. It can
be properly tensioned if the cycle is not pedaled. When the chain is adjusted, loosen the nut of the rear wheel and
then evenly tighten or loosen the left/right adjusting screw to adjust the tension of the chain. Then re-fasten the nut
of the rear wheel.
4. Check chain lubrication before the electrically power assisted cycle is used. Touch and observe whether the chain
axis rotates flexibly and whether chain links are severely corrosive. If corrosion or inflexible rotation occurs, properly
add lubricating oil and if it is serious, replace the chain.
5. Before the electrically power assisted cycle is used, check the tyre pressure, flexibility of the handlebar, flexibility of
the front and rear wheels, circuit, battery, motor, lighting, fasteners and others and ensure they are satisfactory.

Insufficient tyre pressure will increase the abrasion between tyres and the ground, which reduces the distance
per charge; moreover, it reduces the flexibility of the handlebar and affects the comfort and safety during riding. Add
pressure when it occurs and tyre pressure shall be consistent with suggested pressure values in the Operation
Instruction of the Electrically Assisted Power Cycle or required pressure values in the tyre surface.
（

When the handlebar is inflexible, seized, rigid or tight, lubrication or adjustment shall be conducted timely. For
lubrication, butter, calcium-based or lithium-based grease is normally adopted. When it is adjusted, loosen the locking
nut of the front fork and rotate the fork block until the rotation flexibility reaches requirements. Then lock the locking
nut of the front fork.

）
The inflexibility of the front and rear wheels will increase the rotational friction and energy consumption, which
may reduce the distance per charge. Therefore, lubrication and maintenance shall be carried out timely in the case of
any malfunction. For lubrication, butter, calcium-based or lithium-based grease is normally adopted. Replace steel
balls or hub in the event of hub malfunction; send it to the professional repairer in the event of motor malfunction.

For circuit check, make it switch on and check whether it works normally, whether the connectors are inserted
firmly, whether the fuse works normally and especially whether the output terminal of the battery is reliably
connected to cables. Eliminate all errors timely if necessary.
（

）
Before using the cycle, you shall check the battery and judge whether the remaining power is enough for riding.
If it is not enough, you shall pedal the cycle to avoid undervoltage working of the battery.
（

）
Before using the cycle, you shall also check the work condition of the motor. Observe and hear the working motor.
Repair it timely if any abnormality is found.
（
7
）
Before using the cycle, you shall check lighting, especially at night. The headlight shall be on and the beams shall
be within 5-10 meters far from the head of the cycle.
（
8
）
Before using the cycle, you shall check whether all primary fasteners are fixed, such as handlebar, handle stem,
saddle, seatpost, front wheel, rear wheel, central axis, locking nut and pedals which shall not be loose. If any fastener
