4.4 Pedal Installation
4.5 Warnings
It is important to install the pedal onto the corresponding crank arm. Improperly installing the pedals can
damage the pedals, the crank arms, or both.
Identify whether the pedal goes on the left side or right side. Some pedals will have an “L” or “R” stamped on
the pedal to indicate whether it is a left side or right side pedal. The direction of the spindle threads will also
indicate whether the pedal is left or right side.
Tighten the right-side pedal by turning clockwise. Tighten the left-side pedal by turning counterclockwise.
Use a 15mm wrench to tighten pedals to crank arms. Using an incorrect sized wrench may damage the pedal
spindle. Using the improper tool may not fully secure the pedal to the crank arms. An improperly installed
pedal may lead to injury.
Incorrect assembly, maintenance, or use of your Peak T5/T7 can cause component or performance failure,
loss of control, serious injury, or death. Even if you’re an experienced bike rider, you must read and understand
the entire manual and any documentation provided for subcomponents or accessories before riding. If you
are not sure you have the experience, skills, and tools to correctly perform all assembly steps in the manual
and the assembly video, consult a local, certified, and reputable bike mechanic.
To reduce the risk of injury, close supervision is necessary when the product is used near children.

If your bicycle sustains an impact:
Should you be injured in the impact, check yourself for injuries and take the proper actions needed to attend to
any injuries. Seek medical help if necessary.
After any crash, take your bike to your dealer for a thorough damage inspection.
A crash or other impact can put extraordinary stress on bicycle components, causing them to fatigue pre-
maturely. Components suffering from stress fatigue can fail suddenly and catastrophically, causing loss of
control, serious injury or death.
Though this manual is to be used as a reference point, it is impossible for this manual to provide all the in-
formation required to properly repair and maintain your bicycle. To help minimize the chances of injury, it is
critical that you have any repair or maintenance which is not specifically described in this manual performed
by your dealer. Equally important is that your individual maintenance requirements will be determined by
everything from your riding style to geographic location. Consult your dealer for help in determining your
maintenance requirements.

5.1 Battery Storage
5.2 Bike Storage
Store the bike in a location where it is protected from the elements - snow, rain, direct and unfiltered sunlight, etc.
Snow, rain, road salts and ice inhibiting chemicals can cause parts to degrade and corrode. The UV rays from the
sun can fade the paint and can cause rubber and plastic parts to dry, become porous, and/or crack.
Should the bike be in disuse for an extended period of time, it is best to care for and store the e-bike.
Separate the battery and the e-bike. The e-bike should be stored indoors, in a covered environment. The tempera-
ture range for the e-bike, separated from the battery, can be between (35-70° F (2-21°C). The battery should be
stored indoors at room-temperature. If your battery is unused for several months it is possible that it may fall into
sleep mode. It is recommended to check the charge at least once a month while not in use. It is recommended to
maintain a charge between 40-80% while in storage.
Should the battery fall into “sleep mode” the following steps can be taken.
•
Plug the Magnum approved charger into a power outlet.
•
Plug the Magnum approved charger into the battery. The LED on the charger should turn
red. This may take several attempts.
•
Leave the battery on the charger until it is fully charged.
