2. Test each brake.
a. Squeeze the left brake lever to lock the front brake, and then try to push the bike forward
using the handlebar. The front wheel should not spin.
b. Squeeze the right brake lever to lock the rear brake. Again, push against the handlebar
to try moving the bike forward. The rear wheel should not spin.
3. Test the motor cutoff switches.
The front and rear brake levers contain motor cutoff switches, which cut off power
from the motor whenever the brakes are applied.
a. In a clear, open area, turn on the bike. With appropriate safety gear and clothing, sit on
the bike.
b. Squeeze the front brake lever (on the left side of the handlebar) to engage the front brake.
c. Lightly apply the thumb throttle assist. The bike should not move since the brake is
applied.
d. Release the thumb throttle assist.
e. Release the brake.
f. Test that the thumb throttle assist now operates with the brake not engaged.
g. Release the thumb throttle assist.
h. Perform steps “a”–”g” again, this time with the rear brake lever (on the right side of the
handlebar).
Tire and wheel care
The tires and inner tubes that came with your ebike are designed for durability and safety
for regular cycling activities. Wheels and tires need to be checked before each use as de-
scribed below, to make sure they’re in good condition. Always replace tires and inner tubes
that have punctures, cuts, bulges, damage, or excessive wear before you ride.
TIRE INFLATION
Inflate tubes and tires to within the PSI range stamped onto the tire sidewall.
WARNING : Underinflating your tires can result in loss of control. Overinflating can
make tires burst. Either scenario can lead to serious injury or death. Always maintain
the correct air pressure of your tires listed on the tire sidewall, and use a regulated air
source with a pressure gauge so that you can measure pressure accurately.
WHEEL “TRUENESS”
Your wheels should always spin straight (“true”) and must be repaired or replaced if they
wobble side to side or up and down when spinning. To test them, do this:
1. Spin the wheel.
2. Brace a dull pencil against the frame or fork, with the tip just touching the rim.
If the gap between the spinning rim and pencil changes more than 5 mm, your wheels may
need truing. If your wheels become untrue or if spokes loosen, which can happen with nor-
mal use, we recommend that you have a certified, reputable bike mechanic perform wheel
tuning & truing operations. Do not attempt to true wheels or tighten spokes unless you have
the highly specialized skills and tools to do so.
TIRE REPLACEMENT
Even tires equipped with built-in flat-preventative tire liners can and do get flats from punc-
tures, pinches, impacts, and other causes. If you get a flat tire or see evidence of tire wear,
you must replace your tire and/or tubes before operating the bike again. Otherwise, you risk
bike/property damage, serious injury, or death.
