Preparing the bike for use cont. 

 
To fit the saddle, release the clamp as shown and then slide 
the seat post into position at the desired height and then 
close the clamp to lock the saddle in place. It may be neces-
sary to tighten the thumb-screw side of the clamp to get a 
tight enough fit when the clamp is closed. To do this, release 
the clamp and tighten the thumb-screw a little and try again, 
repeat as necessary to ensure the clamp is sufficiently tight. 

IMPORTANT NOTES 

 
Do NOT  remove the bolt half way down the seat post. 
This is both for safety reasons and to protect the  
electronic controller sited internally at its base. 
 
When folding the bike, take care not to crush the cable 
that links the two halves together. 

 

Faults

 

 

If your bike has a fault on arrival or develops a fault during 
use, firstly please call us. We can resolve 90% of problems 
reasonably quickly by telephone or email and usually by 
sending a small replacement part or giving sensible advice.  
 
Our email address is: 

[email protected] 

 
Mechanical wear and tear is not the same as a  
manufacturing defect, and things like punctures, chain and 
brake adjustments can be dealt with by a bike shop if re-
quired. Mechanical wear and tear is not covered by our war-
ranty so you will need to pay the bike shop a fee for their  
services. 
 
If a severe electrical fault has occurred and which requires 
the bike to be returned (thankfully rare, in less than 2% of 
cases currently), we will arrange to collect the bike, repair it 
and return it to you. You may need to pay a fee—please  
refer to your Terms and Conditions leaflet. 
 
We strongly recommend retaining your carton by folding flat 
and storing in a dry area if possible in the rare event that you 
might need to return the bike. Replacement cartons are £10 
and sending one to you will cost £15—so please bear this in 
mind.
