First setup
1
Check the tire pressure of both tires and confirm that they are properly inflated.
The optimal tire pressure for the KUBERG Challenger is 35 – 50 PSI (2.4 – 3.4 bar) for
general use and should never exceed 50 PSI (3.4 bar).
2
Unpack the charger from its box and charge the batteries, being sure to follow the
correct charging procedure.
Go to page 26
to find detailed charging instructions.
3
Compress each brake lever. The lever should not compress completely to the
handlebar. Each individual brake should hold the motorcycle securely when you
push the motorcycle against the brake. If your brake needs adjustment, follow the
instructions
on page 21.
All riders should be aware which lever operates which brake.
4
Check the chain for tightness and lubrication and if needed, follow the section
Adjusting chain tension
on page 17.
5
Set the power and torque settings to an adequate level for the rider’s experience and
riding skills.
Go to page 15
to find detailed instructions concerning how to set speed
limits and different riding modes.
WARNING!
There are no user serviceable elements incorporated into the motor, motor controller,
batteries, battery charger, throttle, or wiring harness of your KUBERG electric motorcycle.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DISASSEMBLE OR ADJUST ANY OF THESE COMPONENTS. Doing
so may cause extensive damage to these components, will void your warranty, and may
result in danger to persons and/or property. If you cannot resolve any problem using this
owner’s manual, contact your KUBERG authorized dealer, or call the KUBERG Customer
Service for assistance.
Break-in period
To assure future reliability and top-notch performance of your KUBERG Ranger, please
pay extra attention during your first 150 km/93 miles or three full-charge cycles (whichever
comes first). During this period please obey the following:
Avoid full-throttle starts and accelerate gradually.
Avoid full speed riding and use the Beginner and the Sport mode only. Do not use the
Race mode.
Avoid hard braking. New brakes need some time to break in with moderate use.
Before first ride
NOTE:
If you purchased your KUBERG motorcycle at a local dealer, your motorcycle might already
be fully adjusted and ready to ride. If you purchased your KUBERG motorcycle still in the
original packaging, please carefully follow the instructions below and any supplemental
instructions in order to complete the assembly and adjustment of your KUBERG motorcycle.
Unpacking and assembly
WARNING!
Failure to properly assemble and adjust your motorcycle prior to use may result in
an accident, resulting in death, serious injury and/or damage to property. If you are
uncertain about any aspect of the assembly and adjustment of your motorcycle, seek
help from a qualified mechanic or KUBERG Customer Service.
1
With the help of another person, carefully remove your KUBERG Challenger
from the box.
2
Place the motorcycle on a solid and level surface onto a block or stand so that the
rear wheel is off the ground.
3
Remove all the packing materials.
4
Using the Allen wrench #5 remove the front side of the stem, install the handlebars
onto the stem and tighten all bolts crosswise (6 - 7 Nm).
5
Using the Allen wrench #8 loosen (clockwise) and remove front axle locking bolt (right
hand side of the motorcycle).
6
Using the same wrench, loosen and slowly remove the axle from the disc side and
spacers. Note the position and orientation of both spacers and that one spacer acts
also as a disc guard.
7
Remove the transport insert from the front brake caliper. From this point, do not push
the front brake lever until the assembly is done completely.
8
Check that the front hub spacer is coaxial with both bearings and insert the front
wheel and both spacers carefully into the front fork. The brake disc must slide easily
and gently between brake pads. Then slowly slide the axle into the front hub from the
disc side and tighten it (first by hand clockwise, then to 12-15 Nm).
9
Re-insert and tighten the axle locking bolt anticlockwise (12 - 15 Nm).
10
Ensure the wheel is aligned correctly and the axle bolt is tight.
11
Spin the front wheel to ensure it is centered and spins freely. If not,
follow the front brake adjustment
on page 21.
12
Using the Allen wrench #4 adjust the brake lever positions to suit the
rider (5 - 7 Nm).
13
Make sure the ON/OFF switch is in OFF position.
