WELCOME 

 First off, welcome to the Wattwheels family! We are 

so happy to have you on board! You’ve picked a great model 

and, in this manual, 

we’re

 going to 

break down the basics to make sure that your bike remains in top shape and performs to the highest standard.  
 
 You are about to experience the ride of your life. To get you out and having fun as quickly and as safely as possible please read the manual carefully, 
paying close attention to the safety section. 
Also, we highly recommend familiarizing yourself with local regulations for e-bikes and the components of the model that you have before your first 
ride.  
  
 Please also ensure that the bike is regularly serviced as per the instructions later in this document. Failure to get the bike serviced can result warranty 
claims being void if they are required. A bike is a vehicle and like a car needs to be serviced on regular occasions.  
 
 Wattwheels assumes that all persons involved in using, repairing, maintaining, cleaning, or disposing of this or any Wattwheels product must have 
fully read and understood the content and meaning of these operating instructions.  
Additionally, Wattwheels claims no responsibility for any injury or damage resulting in improper use of any electric bike.
