Seat Post
Do not adjust the seat post beyond its maximum extension mark. Always
keep a minimum of 3 1/2” of the seat post in the seat tube.
Brakes
are the most important safety feature on the bicycle. To minimize the risk of
injury, it’s vital to ensure they are correctly adjusted. Make sure that the front disc
brake pads are parallel to the disk, and that the wheels rotate freely without touching
the pads. Squeeze brakes to test their responsiveness. For more information about the
rear Tektro disk brakes and the Shimano rear roller brakes can be found in the manuals
that come with the bike.
As on any bike, the front brakes provide almost all of the stopping power. We
recommend you keep the front disk clean and free of dirt. Clean the disk weekly with
a cleaning rag and Windex or other non-harsh cleaner. This will help keep the brakes
from squeaking. Periodically check the tension of the screws holding the brake disk to
the motor.
If you have questions on adjustment or use of brakes, we recommend you contact your
local bike shop or call 888-454-4322.
Battery (Note: Make sure the battery is fully charged before the first use):
Insert
key into keyhole and turn the key counter clockwise while pressing in, so that the
battery holder is in the open, unlocked position. Release the catch located on the
underside of the seat saddle to flip up the seat. Push the battery firmly into the holder
until the connecting pins are firmly in the battery sockets. The fit can be tight when
new, so additional pressure may be required. Once the battery is in position, lock it into
place by turning the key one click clockwise to the OFF position. Ensure that the key
is in the OFF position until you are ready to ride. Do not use excessive force to fit the
battery, which could result in damaging the connection sockets or pins.
