SAFETY NOTE:
To minimize the impact of unintentional throttle twists when
the Voloci is stationary, the on-board microprocessor limits the power delivered
to the motor at very low speeds (less than 0.5 mph). Once the Voloci is traveling
over 0.5 mph, full power resumes.
Ride safely:
§
Don’t ride when it’s icy.
§
Use great caution when the roads are wet.
§
Use great caution when it’s dark out.
§
Wear your helmet.
§
Never ride with a passenger.
§
Ride in control at all times.
§
Never stunt ride.
Collisions
Your motorbike is designed to withstand years of normal riding. However, collisions
can substantially weaken the structure of the motorbike. If you accidentally have a
minor collision with a curb, wall, or other fixed object, inspect the motorbike for
loose or bent parts. If you find such parts, contact your dealer or Nova Cruz for
repair or replacement. If you collide with a fixed object at speeds in excess of 10
mph (16 kph) and/or are thrown from the motorbike after a collision, you could
severely damage the structure of the vehicle. In such cases, please contact your
dealer or Nova Cruz for repair or replacement.
Registration and Insurance Information
The laws regulating electric motorbikes vary widely from state to state and from
country to country. In most regions, the Voloci motorbike is classified as a “moped”
for regulatory purposes. However, in some areas, electric motorbikes are
unregulated, and in other areas they are regulated by very specific laws. You must
check the laws in your country, state, and municipality to determine the licensing,
registration, and insurance requirements in your area.
Certificate of Origin
A “certificate of origin” and/or a bill of sale may be required to register and/or insure
your motorbike. These documents are provided as separate items and should be
included with the documents provided to you by your dealer (or by Nova Cruz if you
purchased directly from the factory).
Insurance
Insurance against various types of possible incidents is probably not provided by
your existing insurance policies. Please check with your insurance company about
the details of your coverage and if insurance requirements exist in your state.
Unpacking and Assembly
If you purchased your Voloci motorbike from a dealer, your dealer has already
completed any required unpacking and assembly tasks.
If you purchased your motorbike directly from Nova Cruz, you must follow these
assembly instructions. If you get stuck or encounter any difficulties, please call us at
1-888-353-4464 in the U.S. or outside the U.S. at 603-742-1037.
1. The following tools are required for assembly.
- 5 millimeter Allen wrench
- Adjustable wrench
- 10 millimeter Open-End wrench
- 14 millimeter Closed-End wrench
- Standard pliers
- Torque wrench (optional)
Note: If you are uncomfortable performing this level of assembly or if you
cannot secure the required tools, please contact any bike, moped, or
motorcycle shop and ask them for assistance.
2. Remove your motorbike from its shipping carton by lifting it straight up out
of the box. Using two people for this makes removal from the box much
easier. When practical, retain your shipping carton and packing material in
case you need to package or ship your motorbike in the future.
IMPORTANT: REMOVE THE BATTERY FROM THE VOLOCI
BEFORE PROCEEDING WITH ASSEMBLY
. Pull the battery handle
toward the seat and lift up to remove. If you would like to make battery
charging progress while you assemble your Voloci, plug the battery into the
battery charger now.
3. Remove the handlebar assembly from its packaging. Within the secondary
box locate the assembly hardware pictured in the photo below. These are
identified by the letters in the photo.
