Basics
IMPORTANT:
The IZIP owner’s manual included with your bike contains most of the important safety and usage information
about this bike, which is not included in this system operation manual. Be sure to read the owner’s manual before you begin
riding or working on your bike.
Battery charging
You should charge the battery fully before riding for the first
time, following the instructions below. Be sure to check the
section of your owner’s manual discussing “Battery care &
safety” for additional information.
Charging procedure
Connect the power cord to the battery charger. Plug the
charging plug into the battery’s charging port, then plug the
wall plug into a wall outlet.
The charger should always be plugged first into the
battery, then into the wall outlet.
Charging will begin immediately. The charger’s LED indicator
will light up to show its status.

If the battery is turned on, the battery level indicator on the
battery
will display the battery’s charge level. See “Checking
the battery’s charge level” on page 5.
If the battery is attached to the bicycle, and the bicycle is
turned on, the battery level indicator on the bike’s display will
also show the current charge level. See “Turning the bike on
and off” on page 5.
The battery does not have a “memory”. This means that it can
be charged at any time, or partially charged, without causing
damage or decreasing performance.
Charge time
The amount of time needed to charge the battery varies based
on the battery’s charge level. A completely empty battery will
take between 4 and 6 hours to charge. A battery at 50% may
only need 2-3 hours to come to a full charge.
Checking the battery’s charge level
Before riding, check the battery’s charge level. If the battery
is not fully charged, riding range will be reduced.
To check the battery’s charge level, first press the battery
power button
to turn the battery on. The battery level indicator
will display the battery’s charge level.
Each light represents about 20% capacity:

3 ~40 – 60%
4 ~60 – 80%

Using the battery
Installing the battery
To install the battery, place the battery’s base onto the lower
battery holder, then slot the battery into the upper battery holder
so that it engages the holder and locks into place.
The key
does not need to be used when installing the battery.
Removing the battery
To remove the battery, unlock the battery lock
with the key,
pull the battery out of the upper battery holder, then lift it out
of the lower battery holder.
Turning the bike on and off
The bike is turned on and off in two places: the battery
and
the control pad.
To turn the bike on...
First turn on the battery by pressing the battery power button.
The battery level indicator will light up.
After the battery is turned on, you can turn on the display by
pressing the control pad power button.
The display will initialize, displaying a countdown on its screen.
During this countdown, the software is self-testing and calibrating
the bike’s sensors.
While this countdown is shown,
do not
step on the pedals.
The calibration includes setting a zero-point for the pedal sensors,
and any weight on the pedals will disrupt this process.
After the countdown completes, the bike is ready to ride.
To turn the bike off...
Press the control pad power button
two times. After the first
press, the bike will enter assistance level 0, showing ‘0’ on the
display’s assist level indicator; see “Assist levels” on page 6
below. After the second press, the bike will turn off.
Alternately, you can turn the bike off by holding the battery
power button for 2 seconds.
