Giant TwisT LaFree Twist 2002 Motorized Bicycle, Owner'S Manual

Page: 41 / 148

Please read all information in this manual
carefully to gain maximum performance,
safety and enjoyment from your Lafree Twist
electric bicycle.
Congratulations! You have just pedalled into
the exciting world of electric powerd bicycles.
In addition to being a full-featured bicycle,
the Lafree Twist has an integrated on-board
electric power assist unit. The assisted pedal
system is easy to use and understand.
However, due to its sophisticated technology,
it is extremely important that you follow the
directions for their operation carefully and
completely. Failure to do so could cause
damage to the motor, energy set (battery
pack/charger unit) or the entire bicycle.
Even though Lafree Twist functions as a
standard bicycle, you should still review the
chapters on bicycle operation, especially if
you haven’t ridden/owned a bicycle within the
last 10 years. Component performance and
configuration has changed dramatically, and
while they are easy to use and understand,
they may not look quite the same as what you are familiar with. Taking a few moments
now to understand Lafree Twist’s operating
procedures will help you get the most out of
every ride.
Please read section 5.1: “Battery
detachment, charging and installation” before
operating Lafree Twist’s electric powered
functions. Lafree Twist’s battery must be
charged completely before the motor (power
assisted pedalling) can be operated.
