Rungu Dualie Operation Cautions
1.
DO NOT use FULL throttle for prolonged periods of time. This will result in excessive heat
buildup in the motor, throttle and batteries. Think about what would happen to your car if you
redlined for prolonged periods of time...
the engine won’t last
long. Do not abuse your system,
and it will last you a long time!
2.
DO NOT operate in excessive heat (over 100 degrees Fahrenheit) for a prolonged period of time.
Doing so may result in excessive heat buildup and some components may shut down due to
thermal protection.
3.
If you notice a decrease in performance or abnormal operation, cease electrical operation
immediately. Failure to do so may result in damage to electrical components.
4.
DO NOT apply the brakes abruptly when going downhill as this may result in loss of control. Use
consistent, gradual braking.
5.
When riding with long pants, use a pants cuff protector to prevent your right pants cuff from
getting caught in the chainring.
6.
For best results and the longest life of your chain and cassette follow these guidelines:
a.
ON EVEN OR ROLLING ROADS, Use power level 3 (60%) and pedal. Change gears at will
to manage speed. Avoid power levels 4 (80%) and 5 (100%) when using 8
th
or 9
th
gear.
The force of acceleration at high power levels on these small cassette sprockets leads to
premature wear.
b.
ON STEEP HILLS (greater than 20% grade), stay in first or second gear and leave the
power level set to 5 (100%). Avoid changing gears. Changing gears under load may cause
the chain to break or the sprockets in the cassette to bend. If you plan to ride off-road
and encounter steep terrain, it is advisable to bring a spare chain and a master link chain
tool. The chain tool can also be used to straighten out bent sprockets.
c.
ON LOOSE GROUND LIKE DEEP SNOW OR SOFT SAND, use power levels 3-5 and low tire
pressures (as discussed above), always start in first or second gear before changing
gears to get a higher speed. As with steep hills, changing gears under load may cause
the chain to break or the sprockets in the cassette to bend.
Note: Always ride Dualie at a level and speed you are comfortable with.
If you’re uncomfortable with
the terrain, walk the bike.
Note: Dualie Warranty does not cover damaged/worn cassettes and broken chains.
7.
NEVER jump with the Dualie. The Dualie is designed for moderate bumps but jumping your
Dualie can lead to serious injury and/or damage.
8.
ALWAYS follow local laws regarding your Dualie. If your Dualie is over legal speed and power
limits, reduce your power level to legal limits when riding on public roads or property.
9.
MINIMIZE shifting gears at power level 5 to increase chain life.
