Getting
to
know
your
product.
This e-Bike use the concept of “
Pedal
Assist
”, also known as “Pedelec”,
(pedal
electric
cycle)
where the
rider's pedaling is assisted by a small electric motor. Pedelec’s include an electronic controller which control
and cuts power to the motor when the rider is not pedaling or when a certain speed is obtained.
Pedelecs are useful for people who ride in hilly areas or in strong headwinds.
We recommend that you ride your bike with the power off at first, to get familiar with your e-Bike’s braking
and gear shifting until you are familiar and comfortable with the controls and the “feel”, you can then start
testing the assist levels incrementally to get comfortable with the optimal settings for you
.
Charging
the
Battery
The EVx Electric e-Bike’s comes with a high-capacity Lithium Ion rechargeable battery. The battery needs to
be fully charged before your first use. The intelligent charger that came with your e-Bike will control the
battery pack charging and will automatically end charging when the battery is fully charged. Make sure your
battery is fully charged before you go on a long trip.
The battery can be charged on your bike or you can remove it from the e-Bike to charge it at a convenient
location inside your house or at a charging station (See Removing Battery pack later in this document)
