Warning:
The control module comes pre-configured specifically for
your bike. You don’t therefore need to alter the settings. In-
correct settings could cause damage to the bike components
and also result in a bike that is not UK road legal. Any modifi-
cations made to the controller configuration will void your
warranty with immediate effect.
Turning Control Module On/Off
To turn on the control module press and hold the middle
(Mode) button. Press and hold the same button to turn off the
module and disable all electric features of the bike.
Turning Backlight On/Off
To turn on the display backlight, press and hold the “Mode &
Up” button, press and hold the same two buttons to turn it
off.
Varying Pedal Assist Level
To alter the level of assistance provided simply press the Up/
Down arrows to cycle through the 5 levels of assistance.
Level 1 offers the least assistance while level 5 offers the
greatest assistance.
Speed Display Mode
There are three different modes for the speed display, these
are current speed, average speed and maximum speed. To
switch between these modes, press and hold the “Up” button
for approx. 1 second to cycle through the modes.
Walking Mode
The bike also supports a walking mode which is basically a
very slow mode allowing you to walk next to the bike at
approx. 6Km/h. This is activated by pressing and holding the
“Down” button. As soon as the button is released, the bike
will stop.
Expectations: please read this before riding
Pedalling:
E-bikes are designed to be pedalled, with use of the throttle occasion-
ally—to start off, or to help you to ride up a slope. Using the throttle constantly
may damage it and will run the battery down very quickly, wearing it out within
just a few months.
Speed:
Our bikes are designed for sensible use in accordance with UK law. The
motor will power you
up to
15.5 mph and no faster, though you can still pedal
harder to achieve greater speeds.
Models
: Some of our bikes are more suited for recreational use rather than com-
muting. If you need a bike for commuting, you should consider our chain-driven
(CD) versions.
Care
: Electric bikes need more regular maintenance than standard bikes. Spokes
and other mechanical fixings need tightening every 2 to 3 weeks and tyres need
regular pumping. We also advise trying to ride your bike as often as possible.
Not riding your bike for several months may cause the motor to seize up and if
you do not use the bike for several weeks and forget to charge the battery during
this time you could cause damage to it.
I
dentical bikes
: No two bikes are identical, even if they are the same model and
purchased at the same time. One may be a little quicker or one motor may be
quieter than another. This is normal. Please make allowances.
Hill climbing
: If you are heavy, have steep hills or both, you may have difficulty
getting uphill, and in extreme cases the bike may not get you up at all. The motor
is limited by law to 250 watts and there is only so much it can propel up an incline.
If you weight over 17 stone and have a steep hill you will have to pedal very hard
and may have to get off and push the bike for part of the incline.
Distance and performance
The distance you can cover on a single charge will
vary significantly from person to person and bike to bike. It is affected by weight,
how much effort is put in, hills, headwinds, city traffic etc with constant starts and
stops at traffic lights. The bike may cut out on steep hills and the battery
will
cut
out when exposed to extreme cold.

Costs:
we ask you to contribute towards costs when returning the bike or a part
for repair and additional costs apply if you take your bike abroad (see later).
If you are not happy with any of the above, please do not ride your bike. Call
us to arrange return and a refund.
