Riding the bike cont.
Your bike features 7 speed Shimano index shifting gears
which are changed using the thumb selector on the right side
of the handlebars. When the thumb stick is fully extended,
the bike is in first gear (the easiest to pedal). To move up
through the gears press the black (+) button as shown.
To move back down the gears, simply push the thumb selec-
tor again.
With this particular type of electric bike, you should
change the gears one at a time, waiting until the gear is
properly engaged before changing to another gear.
Most of the time, you will likely use the bike in it’s highest
gear, but to get the best performance out of your bike on
hills, you should change down to the 3rd or 4th gear
before
you start your ascent.
You may need to rotate the handlebars within the stem after
adjusting the height, to do this simply loosen the two bolts as
shown and then rotate the bar until it is in the desired posi-
tion and then re-tighten the bolts ensuring that the bar sits
centrally within the bracket.
Ensure that the cables are routed properly around the frame
when the handlebars are fitted, if the cables are not routed
properly, the gears and brakes will likely not work properly.
The cables to the handlebars should go around the frame as
per the photo below.
Pedals:
The pedals fit on a specific side of the bike. Do NOT
attempt to fit the pedals on the wrong side of the bike.
The pedals are marked ‘R’ (right) and ‘L’ (left) to indicate
which side of the bike the pedal should be fitted to. Fit each
pedal into position and hand tighten, then use the 15mm
spanner to fully secure the pedals in place.
Note:
The thread on the left pedal
is reversed meaning the
pedal should be tightened
anti-clock-wise as opposed
to the usual clock-wise.
