Standover Height
When selecting a new ebike, the correct choice of frame size is a very important safety
consideration.
Standover height is the basic element of
ebike fitness. It is the distance from the
ground to the top of the ebike frame at the
point where your crotch is when straddling
the ebike with both feet flat on the ground.
There should be a clearance of 1 inch to 2
inches (25.4 mm to 50.8 mm) between your
crotch and the top tube of the ebike.
If your crotch touches the frame, it indicates
that the ebike is too big for you.
To check for the correct standover height,
straddle the ebike while wearing the kind of
shoes in which you will be riding, and bounce
vigorously on your heels.
Saddle Position Adjustment
Small changes in saddle position can have a substantial effect on performance and comfort. To
find the desired saddle position, you need to make only one adjustment at a time. For detailed
information, refer to
“Adjust the Saddle Height”
. If you want to adjust the saddle backward or
forward, refer to “Adjust the Saddle Angle and Horizontal Position” .
Brake Lever Adjustment
The angle of the brake levers can be adjusted for the most comfortable hand position possible. If
you have big or small hands or find it difficult to squeeze the brake levers, you can also adjust the
distance between the brake lever and the handlebar. For detailed information, refer to “Adjust the
Brake Lever Positioning”
.
Stay Within the Weight Limits
The ebike and its parts have strength and integrity limitations. Before riding for the first time, it is
essential to get to know the weight limit of your ebike. For detailed information, refer to the
“Weight
Limits” in this owner's manual.
Riding With a Child
Never carry passengers, especially children. Otherwise, it may cause loss of control of the ebike
and result in serious injury or death, and void the warranty. Please note that this ebike is not
designed for riding by children under the age of 16.
Safety Check
■
Ensure that the handlebar cables were routed correctly when the handlebar was installed. Turn
the handlebar fully to the left and right and ensure that no cables or wires can be taut.
■
Ensure that the pedals are secured with a pedal wrench according to the torque value listed in
“Recommended Torque Values” .
■
Ensure that the cable connectors on the ebike are all plugged in securely and that nothing
loosened in shipping.
■
Check the brake functions per the directions in the
“Brake System Inspection”
.
It is normal that brakes can rub a little the first few times you ride. Any squeaks or noises will
disappear with use.
