CAUTIONS AND WARNINGS!
Please read this section! It is very important for your safety and
satisfaction that you read these cautions and warnings. Thanks!
Warning! Always wear your helmet, obey local laws, and
exercise caution when riding.
Warning! If you are not certain that your bike is safe to ride,
call the IES Service Department at 1-866-726-6856 for detailed
advice and information.
Warning! Keep the power switched off until you are seated on
the bike and ready to ride. Turning the power on when not seated,
and then accidentally twisting the hand throttle can result in the bike
accelerating or “jumping” and cause damage or injury.
Warning! Never attempt to disassemble the battery, motor,
controller, or throttle. This can result in injury, fire, or damage to the
bike.
Warning! Only use the charger that was supplied with your bike
to charge the battery. Use of an improper charger can result in fire or
explosion. Read and follow the charging instructions in the manual for
complete information about the operation of your charger.
Warning! Substituting batteries, changing motors or
controllers will void the warranty and may result in various
types of safety problems including fire, explosion, excessive
speed, or lack of control. All service should be performed by the IES
Service Department or authorized dealer referred by the IES Service
Department.
Warning! Avoid contact with live wires, or the battery
terminals. Although the voltage is low, the amperage is high. Burns and
other injuries can result from contact with any body part.
Warning! Keep the battery and charger out of the reach of
children.
Caution! Fully charge the battery before the first use. Failure to
do this can result in decreased battery performance for the life of the bike.
Fully charge the battery each time you use the bike.
Caution! Do not store your new bike where it will be exposed to
high heat, high humidity, or rain for extended periods. All of
these will decrease the life and appearance of your bike.
Caution! Do not immerse your bike in water especially sea
water. This can damage or destroy the electrical components.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
Tools Required For Assembly
This bicycle can be assembled with the following tools which are included in the
shipping carton.
- Metric Allen wrenches
- Combination open end/box wrench
- Phillips screwdriver
Assembly Instructions
Please read through and follow all instructions to ensure that your Shadow is
properly assembled and ready for use.
1. Remove the bicycle from the box by cutting the plastic strapping, then
cutting two sides of the box away. Avoid lifting the bike straight up out of
the box. Remove all of the wrappings and ties that protect the bicycle
during shipment.
2. Position the front wheel on the front fork assembly. Place washer clamp,
washer and locking nut on outside of each side of front fork assembly and
tighten securely. Install the front fender by removing the screw from front
brake assembly as shown. Insert screw through fender clip, tighten washer
and nut. Attach fender supports to lower opening in front fork assembly
with screw and washer as shown.
3. Position the handlebars so that the stem fits into the bicycle frame. Line the
handlebars up with the front wheel and tighten them with an Allen wrench.
Observe the stem – there is a marking on the stem that indicates the
minimum safe insertion. The line or marking must be inside the frame. If
the stem is not inserted this far into the frame it may break and the rider
may lose control.
4. Install the pedals. Install the pedals by carefully threading through crank
arm, then tightening securely with a wrench.
5. Install the seat and adjust the height. Since your Shark has a bicycle type
quick release mechanism to secure the seat, it is essential that you
understand how to use this correctly. Read section which follows on quick
release lever.

The right brake lever controls the rear brake. The rear brake is a band brake which
has been pre-adjusted at the factory.
The left brake lever controls the front brake.
Brake Testing
Squeeze the brake levers. The brake levers should be easy for you to reach,
and engage the brakes completely when pulled in. You should not be able to
pull the brake lever in until it touches the handlebar or grip. Test the brakes
and the brake lever adjustment; you should be able to comfortably control
your brakes. If the brake is adjusted too loose, the extra play will cause
insufficient braking power. The play is properly adjusted if the brake pads
meet the rim fully when the brake lever is pulled one-third of the way.
If you have any questions please call our Service Department at 1-866-726-
6856.
8. Install the rear locking carrier.
a) Remove the screws, washers and nuts from the rear light bracket as
shown.
b) Following the sequence in the picture above, attach the carrier to the
rear light bracket with a screw, washer, metal bracket, rubber
bracket, rear carrier and a locking nut.
9. Install the front basket. Remove the Phillips head screws beneath the front
headlight from the front bike frame. Place basket on front basket support,
reattach Phillips head screws through basket from screw hole. Install
screw and washer through bottom basket screw holes into clamp which is
attached beneath the front basket support.

Operating Instructions
Before You Ride
Make sure quick release is locked and secure. Make sure all parts, components and
accessories are in good working order. Check all fittings and be sure that they are tight
and secure. Inspect your bike completely.
Quick Release Operating Instructions:
1. To release the lever, pull it away from the bike and towards you until it turns 180°
and the word “open” is visible facing the outside, away from the bicycle. If your
quick release lever is not marked “open” and “closed”, it is open when the lever
curves away from the bicycle.
2. The tightness of the lever is adjusted with the nut opposite the release lever and
by rotating the quick release lever. Turn the nut by hand to adjust the tension
while holding the lever stable.
3. To lock the release lever, push lever up and over towards the bike frame until it
turns over 180° and the word “open” is no longer visible, or the lever curves
toward the bicycle. The lever is securely tightened when it leaves an imprint on
the palm of your hand from pushing it closed.
4. Once the lever is securely closed, you should not be able to move it unless you
open it again (Step 1). If you can easily move it, then open the quick release lever
again and tighten the nut another half turn clockwise. Continue with Step 3.
5. If you have adjusted the nut too tightly and cannot push the lever to the “closed”
position, open the quick release lever again and turn the nut a half turn
counterclockwise. Continue with Step 3.
Failure to properly tighten, adjust and fasten these mechanisms
may result in loss of control of the bicycle. If in doubt, take your
shadow to a local bicycle dealer for instruction or call IES Service Department
at 1-866-726-6856.
DO NOT RIDE YOUR BICYCLE WITHOUT THE SEAT QUICK
RELEASE SECURELY LOCKED.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS – Charging the battery
Batteries
CAUTION: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO OPEN OR TAMPER WITH THE
BATTERY IN ANY WAY. DOING SO WILL CAUSE CHEMICAL,
ELECTRICAL AND/OR FIRE HAZARDS.
Batteries that lay dormant for an extended period of time will lose their ability to accept
charge. Please make sure you ride and recharge your bike periodically to prevent this
from happening. Charge the batteries every two months, even if the vehicle is not being
used.
If you let your battery completely discharge due to prolonged usage or lack of use, it can
become damaged and may need to be replaced.
You will void your battery warranty if you do not periodically (at least every
two months) recharge your battery.
You should recharge the batteries after every use for optimum performance and battery
life. The average battery life for a Lead Acid battery is about 300 cycles. One cycle is
one complete charge and discharge of the battery. You will need to replace your
batteries when they no longer hold a sufficient charge.
Recharging the Batteries
It is important that you charge your batteries after every use. This will extend
the total life of your battery. Once the charger has indicated that the battery is fully
charged, unplug the power source from the bicycle and from the electrical outlet and
store in a cool (59° - 86°F or 15° - 30°C), dry (10% - 70% humidity) place. Do not leave
the battery charger plugged in for long periods of time. This can damage the batteries.
The battery may be recharged on the bicycle without removing the battery box from the
bicycle frame. If you choose to remove the battery to recharge, exercise care when
removing to avoid damaging the charging cables.
To charge your batteries:
1. Turn the on/off power switch on your bike to the “off” position.
2. Insert the Charger’s plug into the battery box charging port.
3. Plug the battery charger into the wall outlet.
4. Turn the charger on.
5. The charger will take 6-8 hours to recharge the battery completely. When the
green light appears the battery is sufficiently charged. If possible, continue to
charge the battery for 2-4 hours additional, when possible.
6. Do not charge for more than 10 hours – to avoid overcharging and damaging the
battery, especially in hot weather.
7. Charge the bike in a dry and clean place. Keep the charger dry and clean. The
charger will become warm during charging.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS – Charging the battery
Cautions While Recharging the Batteries
1. Using your power source incorrectly or leaving the power source
connected to the bicycle and plugged into an AC power source for
extended periods of time can result in a fire.
2. Always use your charger as instructed.
3. Do not use any other charger than the one that came with your Shark.
4. Avoid any contact with water when recharging your battery. If a plug or
socket should get wet, dry it thoroughly before proceeding.
5. Do not recharge your battery in direct sunlight or in any very hot
environment.
6. Be sure to keep pets and small children away from the area where you are
recharging.
7. To avoid damage to the integrated charger, never subject it to intense
physical shock or constant vibration.

BICYCLE COMPONENTS
Wheels
Wheels should be centered in fork or dropouts. Whenever you hear any irregular noise
from the wheels or the brakes, the wheels should be checked and repaired. Wheels
should be checked regularly for spoke tightness and rim alignment. Wheels should
rotate smoothly without wobbling from side to side. Check the bearing play of the hubs
by lifting the bicycle and spinning the wheel. The wheel should continue to spin for
several turns and finally cease spinning. To check the play of the hubs, try to move the
rim from side to side between the forks. During this test, no substantial play should
exist. If you detect play or if the wheel is difficult to turn, the hub bearings must be
adjusted. Please contact a local bicycle dealer to have the hub bearings adjusted.
Rims
The rims must be smooth and without cracks, breaks or bulges.
Spokes
Check spoke tension regularly. Approximately the same tension should be applied to all
spokes. If there is minor loosening of the spokes, you may tighten the nipples, but it is
recommended that you take the bicycle to a bicycle mechanic. If you detect a loose
spoke or if the rim has a side play of more than 4mm (1/8 inch), immediately have the
wheel trued by a bicycle mechanic.
RIDING WITH LOOSE SPOKES MAY CAUSE THE WHEEL TO FAIL
Tires
Inflate your tires to the pressure of 40 PSI bike.
Every time you ride, make sure that the tires are inflated according to pressure indicated
on tire sidewall. Improper tire pressure will cause excessive wear, causing premature
replacement. Low tire pressure will also make riding more difficult. The tire should be
properly seated in the rim and the fitting of the tire bead and rim bead should be
checked. If the tube is pinched between the tire and the rim, it will fail when inflated.
Ensure that the tire is not cracked or unevenly worn. Check for bulges. Check that the
valve is straight in the rim. Irregular tires should be replaced immediately.

BICYCLE COMPONENTS (continued)
Handlebar and display
We have created and designed this handlebar assembly so that everything you need is
within easy reach and sight while riding. To adjust the height of your handlebar, loosen
the stem binder bolt by turning it counterclockwise 4 or 5 turns with your Allen wrench.
Adjust the height position as desired, and remember to align the stem with the wheel
before retightening the stem bolt. Make sure you cannot twist the handlebars after
tightening.
CAUTION: LOOSE OR DAMAGED GRIPS ON YOUR HANDLEBARS ARE
DANGEROUS. IF YOUR GRIP COMES OFF, YOU COULD LOSE CONTROL
OF YOUR BICYCLE. A GRIP WITH THE END MISSING CAN ALLOW
HANDLEBARS TO SERIOUSLY INJURE A RIDER DURING AN ACCIDENT.
PLEASE CHECK THAT BOTH HANDLEBAR ENDS ARE PLUGGED. BE
SURE THAT YOUR GRIPS ARE IN GOOD REPAIR AND SECURELY GLUED
OR FASTENED TO THE HANDLEBARS.
Brakes
Riding with brakes that are damaged, have worn brake shoes or cables, or are on wheels
that are in poor condition or damaged may result in losing control of your bicycle. Wet
weather detracts from brake performance. You will require more distance to stop safely
in the rain or on a wet or icy street. Check to be sure the brake cables are not wrapped
tightly, and are free of obstructions. It is important to check that your brakes work
properly before operating your vehicle. Test before every use.
Computer / Display
Your bike is equipped with a display unit that will inform you of the battery charge state,
and other functions.
Power On/Off
Your Power On/Off switch is a key switch located on the bicycle frame. The Shark uses
the same key to lock the battery box and accessory box.
Throttle
Your throttle is located on the right hand side of your handlebar. Because it is a variable
speed throttle it is easily adaptable to any situation. You are always in control of your
speed. One of the most important features of the Shark is the power shut
down mechanism incorporated into the right brake lever. Every time the
right brake lever is compressed, the power from the motor is discontinued.
To resume operation under electric power, release the brake and turn the throttle.

BICYCLE CARE
We recommend having your Shark serviced once a year by a bicycle mechanic for
regular bicycle maintenance in order to ensure safety and to keep components in
proper working order.
Throughout the year, there are simple steps you can take to inspect and maintain
your Shark:
1. Every week or two, tighten all nuts and bolts. Check all hardware to see
that no parts are worn, damaged, or missing. Make certain that the frame
and fork alignment are true and that all components are seated in the right
position.
2. Clean the frame and all parts regularly with a moist cloth or sponge.
Remove the optional midpoint battery and turn off the power before
cleaning. Do not completely immerse the bicycle in water and avoid using
a hose and/or soaking the battery and motor area. Be sure to completely
dry the bike with a soft towel to prevent rusting and corrosion. Your Shark
is water resistant, but not water-proof.
3. Reflectors should be kept clean, securely fastened and positioned for easy
visibility at night from the front, rear and side. Immediately replace any
damaged reflectors. ALWAYS USE A FRONT AND REAR LIGHT
WHEN RIDING AT NIGHT. Check your local regulations for specific
requirements.
4. Replace worn or damaged cables. Do not kink cables. Cables stretch with
use - adjust accordingly. Keep control cable lubricated.
5. Replace worn grips. Make sure they fit snugly.
6. Check the chain tension frequently and keep it adjusted.

SAFETY RESPONSIBILITY
Know the laws of your state. It is your responsibility to know and obey the
laws of your local area concerning the operation of an electric bicycle. Laws
which apply to regular bicycles also govern the use of electric bikes. In some
cities and towns, local laws may also apply. You can check with your local
police department for information on local laws.
There are also some common sense rules to keep in mind as you are preparing
to ride and as you are riding.
1. Wear your helmet at all times. This is required by law in some states
and is an important precaution in all states. Always use a helmet that fits
and is approved for such use. Keep the chinstrap fastened. HELMETS
CAN HELP PREVENT HEAD INJURIES IN THE EVENT OF AN
ACCIDENT.
2. Only one rider at a time. Riding double or carrying large objects that
obstruct your vision or interfere with your control of the vehicle can result
in loss of control.
3. Ride with traffic and obey all traffic laws.
4. Do not perform tricks or stunts. Maintain complete control, caution and a
reasonable speed at all times. This bicycle is not suited for stunt jumping,
competition or racing. Never allow other vehicles to tow the bicycle.
5. When riding at night or in inclement weather, always use lights that are
bright and in good working order. Use the clear light on the front and the
red light on the back of your Shadow, which your Shadow is equipped
with. Wear light colored and/or reflective clothing. Assume motorists are
unable to see you and ride in a very defensive, cautious manner.
6. Take special precautions when riding in the rain, ice or snow. Give
yourself more time and room to brake. Ride slower than normal in order
to keep full control of your bicycle. It is also difficult for motorists to see
you when it is raining or snowing; take care when riding in inclement
weather.
7. Watch for cars pulling out in front of you and the sudden opening of car
doors.
8. Give pedestrians the right of way and be sure to (bell, horn, voice, etc.)
alert them to your presence to avoid any type of collision.
