FIRST USE:

2-1

1.READ THE OWNERS MANUAL.

4. CHECK THAT THE TIRE PRESSURE IS INFLATED TO THE MAXIMUM INDICATED ON THE TIRE SIDEWALLS. DO NOT OVERFILL.

2-2 PRIOR TO STARTING

THE FOLLOWING STEPS ARE IMPORTANT AND MUST BE FOLLOWED BEFORE RIDING THE ELECTRIC BICYCLE EACH TIME IT IS USED.

THOROUGHLY CHECKING YOUR ELECTRIC BICYCLE TAKES ONLY A FEW MINUTES AND MAY SAVE YOUR LIFE!

CHECK THE BRAKE OPERATION. TIGHTLY SQUEEZE THE BRAKE LEVERS AND FIRMLY PUSH THE ELECTRIC BICYCLE BACKWARD AND

FORWARD. IF THE ELECTRIC BICYCLE MOVES WITH THE BRAKES APPLIED THEN THE BRAKES NEED ADJUSTMENT. DO NOT DRIVE

WITH WORN OR DEFECTIVE BRAKES.

CHECK THE TIRE TREAD. ENSURE THAT AT LEAST 1MM TREAD REMAINS ON THE TIRES. IF NOT THEN YOU SHOULD REPLACE THEM.

CHECK THE TIRE SURFACE. LOOK FOR BUMPS OR EMBEDDED OBJECTS THAT COULD CAUSE TIRE FAILURE OR BLOWOUTS.

DO NOT DRIVE IF THE TIRE SURFACE IS UNEVEN OR IF OBJECTS SUCH AS NAILS OR STONES ARE EMBEDDED IN THE TIRE OR TREAD.

CHECK THE TIRE PRESSURE. TIRES MUST BE INFLATED TO THE MAXIMUM INDICATED ON THE TIRE SIDEWALLS. DRIVING WITH TOO

LOW AIR PRESSURE IN THE TIRE MAY CAUSE ACCIDENTS.

CHECK THE THROTTLE FOR SMOOTH OPERATION. ROTATE THE THROTTLE AND RELEASE A COUPLE OF TIMES. ENSURE THAT IT

SMOOTHLY RETURNS TO THE ORIGINAL POSITION WITHOUT MANUAL ASSISTANCE.

CHECK THE STEERING. TURN THE STEERING FROM SIDE TO SIDE SEVERAL TIMES. ENSURE THAT IT CAN FULLY TURN WITHOUT

STICKING.

2-3 STARTING MOTOR

2.TURN BATTERY KEY ON & MONITOR SWITCH ON

3 USE PEDAL ASSIST OR TWIST THE THROTTLE WHEN READY TO MOVE. PEDAL ASSISTANCE WILL GREATLY INCREASE THE RANGE.

DISTANCES. IT WILL ALSO CAUSE PREMATURE TIRE WEAR.

4-2 CHARGING BATTERY

CHARGE THE BATTERIES AFTER EACH USE. THE CHARGER OUTLET IS LOCATED ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE BATTERY PACK JUST

UNDER THE SEAT.

PLUG THE 36V LITHIUM CHARGER INTO RECEPTABLE; RED LIGHT MEANS POWER IS ON; GREEN MEANS FULLY CHARGED.

THE BICYCLE USES A LITHIUM ION 36V BATTERY PACK.

Keep the charger in a protected and covered area. The charger cannot be exposed to water or humidity and must be used in a

well-ventilated space preferably outdoors under a covered and dry area.

The battery case can be removed by taking out the battery by unlocking and sliding out.

If the motor is used for a long time and overheats it will shut off. It can be started again after it cools off. The same thi ng

applies to the charger if it gets too hot it will shut off and restart when cooled down.

If the battery charge gets very low the red LED will blink and the motor will shut off. It’s now time to recharge the battery.

To recharge the battery use only the charger provided by manufacturer. Any other charger could seriously damage the

batteries and motor or injure the user.

Our charger can be plugged into a standard 110v receptacle.

Please keep water away from the charger and battery case. Our charger is calibrated to correctly charge our battery and you

should check the lights

until full charge is achieved. Full charge takes up to 6 to 8 hours. The green light on the charger will turn to red when plugged

into the battery pack and back to green once the battery is fully charged. Never leave the charger connected for longer than 8

hours.

If a month goes by between riding the bicycle, recharge the battery before using.

This Lithium battery does not remember its charge. Multiple charging does not shorten its life.

Do not allow children to touch the battery.

Remarks:

You should recharge the batteries after every use for optimum performance and battery life. You will need to replace your

batteries when they no longer hold a sufficient charge.
