Operation 

Your  new  Electric  Bicycle/scooter  is  a  revolutionary  new  transport  product  using  a  sealed  lead 

acid batteries and a super high efficiency electric hub motor designed to ASSIST in the propulsion 

of  you and  your bicycle. It is important to  note the following riding guidelines to ensure  you get 

the best possible experience from your electric bicycle. 

Riding tip checklist 

When  starting  off  from  stand  still,  pedal  bicycle  up  to  speed  then  engage  throttle  for  best 

results. 

On inclines pedaling will be required to maintain momentum. 

Ensure Tires are fully inflated to 30-35 PSI for bikes. 

Remember  performance  of  the  bike  is  directly  related  to  weight  of  the  rider  and  any 

baggage/load together with the charge in the batteries. 

Ensure batteries are fully charged prior to riding. 

Charge overnight prior to riding the next day. 

Never let the batteries go fully flat. This will reduce battery and bike performance. 

Apply  chain  oil  periodically  and  clean  if  dirty  or  gummed  up  using  a  degreaser  then  wipe 

clean and apply bicycle chain oil. 

If  your  bike  is  equipped  with  lights  we  recommend  you  ride  with  them  switched  on  at  all 

times to increase visibility for you and other road users. 

It’s important  to start pedaling  for  a  few revolutions THEN slowly  turn the throttle  control 

and gradually bring on the power. This ensures the battery and motor is not overloaded.
