• When applying the brakes, particularly the front brake, use a lower pressure to start with
until you feel the brakes starting to “bite”, then increase pressure as required.Do NOT over-
apply the brakes and cause the wheel to stop rotating - this may result in loss of control.
• Maintain the brake friction components (pads, shoes, rubbers) in good condition and replace
when they reach the wear limit.
• Maintain brake adjustment so that the brakes perform effectively, the levers are
comfortably
positioned, and there is not excessive play in adjustable components.
• If the brakes are not performing effectively, making abnormal noise or any part is not
serviceable or cannot be adjusted correctly, have the brakes inspected and adjusted by a
bicycle mechanic or suitably qualified person.
*If the brake cables become frayed or otherwise damaged, have them replaced by a bicycle
mechanic or suitable qualified person.
Batteries and Battery Charging
Never modify the electrical system. Alterations may cause a fire, resulting in serious injury and
could also damage the electrical system.
• Charge with the supplied charger only. Use of the wrong charger may cause a fifire or
explosion, resulting in serious injury.
• Ensure the voltage and frequency of the charger is compatible with mains electrical supply.
• Use the battery charger in dry locations only.
• The battery must be charged before first use.
• For maximum battery performance and service life, charge the battery after each use, and
charge at temperatures between 0 and 40°C (32 and 104°F).
• Battery charging generally takes 4 to 6 hours from discharged to fully charged. Do NOT
charge the battery continuously for more than 24 hours.
• If the bicycle has not been used for over 4 weeks, charge the battery before use.
• Always switch the bicycle OFF after each use.
The battery pack can be recharged repeatedly. However, rechargeable batteries eventually
need to be replaced. A significantly reduced operating period after charging indicates that the
battery is no longer serviceable and should be replaced. Discard old batteries in an
environmentally responsible manner.
The battery charger has a charge status LED indicator:
• Red - Battery charging.
• Green - Battery fully charged.
To charge the battery
1. Plug the charger connector into the charging port.
2. Connect the charger to a mains electrical supply and switch ON. The indicator LED on the
charger illuminates red to show the battery is charging.
