Operation
6.
Before your first ride:
• Familiarize yourself with the operation of your bicycle’s electrical system (below).
• Read and understand the information printed on pages 4-9 of this document.
• Double check the assembly of the bike based on the checklist on pages 6 and 7.
• Be sure your tires are inflated to the pressure indicated on the sidewall.
• Double-check the tightness of all nuts, bolts, quick release levers, and components.
• Check your brakes.
• Read the battery care guide on pages 42-43 of your owner’s manual.
5.
Install the pedals.
Note that the left-side pedal is reverse threaded (left-hand); it needs to be tightened counter-
clockwise. Be sure to grease the pedal threads. See the torque values chart and page 65 of your owner’s manual (
Pedals
and crank set
) for detailed instructions.
Charge the battery before your first ride
First plug the charger into the port on the back of the
battery, then plug the charger’s power cord into a
wall socket. While charging, the indicator light on the
charger will turn amber, and the internal fan will run.
When finished, the indicator light on the charger will
turn green. Charge time is approximately 4-6 hours,
depending on the current battery charge level.
Charge only with the 36V Li-ion charger included with
the bicycle.
Press ON/OFF to turn on the bicycle
The battery gauge lights will illuminate, indicating that
the bike is ready to ride.
The gauge lights indicate remaining
charge
The battery gauge provides three indications of
battery level. Because the gauge simply measures
the voltage of the battery pack, it may fluctuate under
load (like when riding up a hill).
The PAS/TAG switch changes between “Pedal
Assist” and “Twist and Go” power modes.
In Pedal Assist mode, the motor will automatically run at 50%
power while the rider is pedaling. The throttle acts as a “boost” in
this mode, allowing the rider to control up to 100% of the motor’s
power. The throttle is only active while the pedals are turning.
Twist and Go is a simple throttle-only mode. Just twist the
throttle toward you to apply 0-100% of the motor’s power. In this
mode, the pedal assist sensor is not enabled, and the motor will
not activate unless the throttle is twisted.
See your owner’s manual for more information on PAS and TAG
power modes.
