INITIAL RIDE
NOTE:
Users can ride the e-bike like a normal bicycle with the
power turned ON or OFF. However, the pedal assist and throttle will
activate only if the power is turned ON.
We recommend that you ride your e-bike with the pedal assist
off at first, to get familiar with the braking and gear shifting.
Then, you can start testing the pedal assist levels incrementally
to gain familiarity with the optimal settings for your riding style.
SAFETY CHECK BEFORE EACH RIDE
•
The battery pack must be charged and properly installed.
•
The display must turn on and function properly.
•
The brakes must function properly.
•
The tires must be inflated to the proper psi.
•
The front and rear lights must work properly.
•
The cable connections must be tight.
USING THE BRAKES
The e-bike is equipped with front and rear disc brakes. Their
main function is to slow down or to stop the bicycle.
NOTE:
Apply the rear brake before using the front brake in
low-traction conditions.
•
The brake on the front wheel is controlled by the lever on
the left-hand side of the handlebar.
•
The brake on the rear wheel is controlled by the lever on
the right-hand side of the handlebar.
•
The front brake provides the majority of the e-bike’s
stopping power.
•
When slowing down on slippery surfaces, use the rear
brake first before applying the front brake.
•
A signal wire from each brake lever automatically turns off
the motor when either brake is being used. This feature
prevents undue wear on the electric motor and battery.
Your new brakes will undergo a “bedding-in” period and will
wear down after the first 40-50 full stops. The brakes will reach
100% of their grip capacity after this period. Adjust the brake
lever so that it adapts to the newly bedded-in brakes.
SHIFTING THE GEARS
The e-bike is equipped with a multi-speed gear set. Choose the
lower gears when starting off from a stop or when riding slowly
or climbing steep hills. Use higher gears when riding at speed.
When using this bike as a normal bike, you will get used to using
the gear settings that are most comfortable for your ride and
trip. The gear shifter is located on the left side of the handlebar.
Rotating the left handlebar grip will change the gear selection.
The gear shifting system and pedal assist control system are
entirely independent; neither affects the other’s performance.

OPERATION
PEDAL ASSIST CONTROL SYSTEM
The pedal assist control system also is known as a “pedelec.”
The pedal assist uses cadence sensors that measure your
pedaling. This information transfers to the bike’s controller,
which generates the needed power. The control system can be
used to maintain a constant level of pedal assist.
USING THE PEDAL ASSIST CONTROL SYSTEM
1.
Press the battery power button to turn on the battery. The
LED will illuminate in a green color.

2.
Press and hold the LCD power button for 3 seconds to turn
on the controller. Be sure to have both feet off the pedals
and the bike still, as the sensor will calibrate when turning
on. The LCD display panel will turn on and indicate the
battery’s charge level and selected pedal assist level.

NOTICE
Before turrning on the bike, be sure your feet are off of the pedals to ensure the
torque sensor calibrates correctly.
