WARNING
Avoid dropping, jarring, puncturing, or otherwise damaging your
battery, as this can cause permanent internal damage.
Brakes
Brake cables experience a break-in period over the first 50-75 miles. Cable stretching can be
adjusted by the ELF owner, or by a professional bike mechanic.
We recommend adjusting the brakes once per week
– see suggested videos cited at end of this
manual for assistance.
Shifting
Shifter cables experience a break-in period during the first 100 miles; you may need to adjust
them occasionally. For instructions on adjustments, see suggested videos cited at end of this
manual, email the Organic Transit service department at support@organictransit.com, or visit
your local bike shop.
Cleaning
WARNING
Always remove the battery before washing your ELF. Make sure
the battery tray is dry before reinstalling battery.

Clear Panels (Windshield, Side Windows, Rear Hatch)
•
Thoroughly rinse with warm water and mild soap using a microfiber/soft cloth or
sponge. To prevent water spots, thoroughly dry the glazing with a clean chamois or
moist sponge. If you use the same cloth for regular cleaning, be sure that it is cleaned
before every use so that no small grains of dirt or debris linger, which could scratch
the surface of the windshield.
•
Never use abrasive rags or cleaners . These may scratch your windows and reduce
visibility. Ensure that the cloth you use has no small grains or dirt hidden within it.
•
Avoid cleaning in direct sunlight to prevent streaking.
