MAINTENANCE
Technological breakthroughs have made components more complex than ever before, and the
pace of innovation is increasing. This on-going revolution makes it impossible for this manual to
provide all the information required to properly repair and/or maintain your VOY™. In order to
help minimize the chances of an accident and possible injury, it is critical that you have all repair
and maintenance work performed regularly.
For more detailed maintenance instructions or for ordering replacement parts please contact
Electra Customer Service / Technical Support Toll-Free at 1-888-467-1234 M-F 9am - 4pm PST.
Local bicycle retail stores, which have service facilities in your area, can also assist you with certain
non-electrical repairs or adjustments that you are not qualified to make or for which you do not
have the specific or specialized tools needed for repair.
DRIVE CHAIN MAINTENANCE
Periodic adjustments of the drive chain will be necessary to maintain
proper tension. If the drive chain is loose, it may make a "popping"
noise, which indicates a need for immediate adjustment. To
manually check the drive chain tension, make sure the drive chain is
properly seated on both the front and rear sprockets. Move the top
portion of the drive chain in an upward direction. When properly
adjusted, the drive chain should move upward approximately 1".
If there is greater than 1" of movement, the drive chain must be
adjusted before use to avoid unseating "falling-off".
Before adjusting the chain, please make sure the key is in the "OFF" position and disconnect the
battery power to prevent any injuries or damage.To disconnect the main battery power, lift the
foot mat and unlock the lock located on the left side of the VOY™ (using the ignition key). Proceed
to pull the battery out utilizing the handle. Disconnect the battery cable. Loosen both rear axle
nuts until the wheel will move freely in the axle slots forward and
backwards. The drive chain tension is changed by adjusting the tension
adjustment screws behind the rear axle until the proper tension is
achieved. The screws must be turned clockwise to tighten, and counter-
clockwise to loosen the chain. Check the tension by rotating the wheel by
hand. Be sure that the drive chain is not too tight, if so, the chain will break.
Tighten the rear axle nuts and re-check the tension. Make sure that the rear
wheel is installed straight and that the tension adjustment screws have not
caused the rear wheel to sit crooked once the axle nuts are tightened. The
chain should be cleaned and lubricated with bicycle chain lubricant
(available at local bike shops) after every 100 miles of riding (or every three
rides) or after riding the VOY™ in wet road conditions.
THROTTLE CONTROL
The VOY™ uses a speed changing throttle grip. It is on the
right side of the handlebar. Rotate the throttle grip
toward the seat to accelerate and rotate forward away
from the seat to slow down.
IT IS NECESSARY FOR THE THROTTLE GRIP TO BE IN THE
"OFF" POSITION BEFORE TURNING ON THE VOY™.
RIDING YOUR VOY™ WITH A FLAT OR UNDER-INFLATED TIRE CAN SERIOUSLY DAMAGE THE TIRE,
RIM (WHEEL), TUBE, AND THE VOY™. IT MAY ALSO CAUSE YOU TO LOSE CONTROL AND FALL.
Make sure that the air pressure for all tires is correct. The proper inflation amount is listed on the sidewall of the
tire. If the tires have less that the recommended amount of pressure, this will decrease the battery usage time
and may cause the unit to handle poorly or cause damage to the tires. Use an air pressure gauge to check for the
air pressure of the tire.
DO NOT USE GAS STATION AIR FILLING STATIONS AS THE PRESSURE IS USUALLY TOO HIGH AND
THE GAUGES ARE INACCURATE. OVER INFLATION OF THE TIRE COULD CAUSE A BLOW OUT AND CRASH.
BRAKE MAINTENANCE
Take a look at the brake pads before every ride. If when the brake lever is engaged (approximately one (1) inch
of brake lever movement) and the brake pads are not firmly against the wheel rim, do NOT ride the VOY™. Call
Electra Customer Service at 1-888-967-1234 M-F 9am - 4pm PST or visit your local bicycle dealership and have
them adjusted or replaced.
Check the control cables and cable housings. Any rust? Kinks? Fraying? If so, do NOT ride the VOY™. Call Electra
Customer Service at1-888-467-1234 M-F 9am - 4pm PST or visit your local bicycle dealership and have them
adjusted or replaced.
Adjusting the brake cables at the brake lever can be accomplished by most people, however brake pad
adjustment or cable replacement should only be performed by people with expertise in performing such
adjustments or repairs. Call the Electra Customer Service / Technical Support Toll-Free Number at
1-888-467-1234 M-F 9am - 4pm PST for additional information about brake repairs or adjustments.
