Forward
To our customers,
Thank you for choosing Veloteq as your alternate energy vehicle for recreation and local
commuting. We specialize in the design and manufacture of electric bicycles that incorporate the
most advanced motor, electrical systems, suspension, and braking systems currently available use
in the North American environment. Advanced features, available only on Veloteq ebikes include
fully automatic cruise control, anti-theft systems and extra heavy duty controllers and battery
chargers. Power-on-Demand electric bicycles by Veloteq are safe, reliable, noiseless and totally
pollution-free.
Please read this manual thoroughly before you operate your Veloteq.
Always keep to
the right side of the road and use designated bike lanes whenever possible. Use the turn signals
while executing turns or changing lanes and never swerve in and out of traffic. Observe road
conditions and always allow for longer braking distances in wet or slippery conditions. Do not
permit inexperienced riders to operate the vehicle without close supervision and training. Bicycle
operators are subject to the rules of the road and safe riding practices. Observe them at all times.
Electric Bicycle Manual
Warnings (Read Features and Operation Carefully)
Veloteq electric bicycles are engineered as complete systems. Do not attempt to replace any
parts with those not supplied by your Veloteq dealer or distributor. The use of chargers, batter-
ies and other non-Veloteq parts can result in serious damage to the electrical system and void
all product warranties. Electric bicycles should be operated on the right side of the roadway.
Allow additional braking distance when operating in wet or snowy conditions.
The optimum load capacity of Veloteq electric bicycles using Consumer Product Safety Com-
mission standards is 170 lbs. including rider and cargo. Increased weight will lower the travel
range of the vehicle and require more frequent charging of the power supply. Do not permit
people unfamiliar with riding the vehicle to do so without proper instruction. Strictly comply
with the rules of the road and all relevant traffic laws for bicycles.
Automatic Cruise Control is activated automatically by maintaining the throttle position for
six seconds. To turn off automatic cruise control, activate either the right or left brake handle.
The power supply unit consists of four 12V Sealed Lead Acid maintenance free batteries
which generate an operating voltage of 48V. Do not under any circumstances touch the poles
of the batteries or permit them to come into contact with metal or wet objects. This may lead
to the destruction of the power supply and damage to the controller and charger.
