General Operating Instructions
BEFORE YOU RIDE
1. Charge your battery until the green indicator light on the charger comes on, but do
not
allow it to charge more
than 10 hours.
2. Check the air pressure of the tires. Make sure they are at the recommended psi embossed on the sidewall of
the tire.
3. Check the front and back brakes, and the condition of the front and back wheels, handlebar, and saddle. Make
sure they are tight and fastened. Make sure all quick releases are locked and secure and that all parts are in
good working order. Inspect your bike completely.
4. If it was removed, install the charged battery in the battery seat of bike and lock it.
5. Raise the kickstand.
6. Sit on the bike and turn the bike on. The power lights/meter should show your battery capacity.
7. Pedaling or using the throttle on the right hand will begin to accelerate the bike.
ATTENTION: After the power is on, if the rider twists the throttle the bike will lurch forward! Do not
turn the power on until you are ready to go.
The hand brake will automatically cut the power to the motor as also will releasing the throttle. While starting
or climbing a hill, pedal as much as possible, so that the electric power will not be drained too much. At the
same time, it can lengthen the life of the battery and motor.
ATTENTION:
When riding down hills, do not turn off the power, otherwise the controller and motor will
be easily damaged which is NOT covered under warranty.
While running, if the battery power is getting low, the battery meter will lessen. At this time you should pedal
your ebike like a regular bike and charge the battery as soon as you get to an electrical outlet. Turn off the
power and remove the key while parking. If you decide to push your bike for any reason, make sure to turn the
power off, so you don’t accidentally turn the throttle making the electric bicycle start suddenly and cause an
accident. To help get the best distance out of your electric bike, refrain from a lot of braking and coast as much
as possible.
