Additional Lights
As an additional safety feature, we recommend that night users
purchase independent front and rear lights that are NOT powered
from the cycle battery. After a long journey, there is a risk that the
cycle battery could be depleted, so lights could stop working.
Tyres
Check the tyres regularly to ensure that the correct pressures are
maintained (pressure ranges are shown on the sides of the tyres).
Do not over-inflate the tyres.
There are different types of pumps available for cycles. Ask your
local cycle shop for the one best suited to your needs (do not use a
garage forecourt air hose to inflate your tyres).
Brakes
Make sure your brakes are adjusted correctly at all times.
Adjustment can be made at the wheel rim/brake mechanism with
tools. Fine tuning of the brakes can be made via adjustable twist
screws that are located at the join of the brake lever to the cable.
Replace the brake blocks when worn.
Power
Switch on the power by turning the key in the battery. As soon as
the rider begins to pedal, the motor supplies energy to support the
cyclist’s efforts. Power can also be supplied by the throttle. If the
rider prefers to cycle without the assistance of the motor, he or she
should leave the ignition off.
Gears and Bicycle Chain
Change through the gears one at a time and only when the bicycle is
being pedalled. To maintain performance, ensure that all the
mechanical parts of the gears are lightly oiled (avoid getting oil
deposits on the wheel rims). If the chain mechanism becomes
dislodged, turn the pedals forward gently to engage it. If the chain
becomes completely dislodged, re-engage it on the smallest gear cog.
