About this Manual
This manual is written to help you to get the best performance, comfort, enjoyment and safety when riding your new
E-bike. The manual describes specic care and maintenance procedures that help protect your warranty and ensure
years of trouble free use. Please pay particular attention to the section on battery charging and maintenance.
It is important for you to understand the features and operation of your new E-bike so that you can get maximum
enjoyment with maximum safety. By reading this manual before you go on your rst ride, you’ll know how to get the most
from your new E-bike.
It is also important that your rst ride on a new E-bike be taken under a controlled environment, away from cars, obstacles
and other cyclists.
Cycling can be a hazardous activity even under the best circumstances, giving proper maintenance to
your E-bike is your responsibility as it helps to reduce the risk of injury. This manual contains many
“Warnings” and “Cautions” concerning the consequences of failure to maintain or inspect you E-bike.
Many of the Warnings and Cautions say “you may lose control and fall” Because any fall can result in
serious injury or even death, we do not repeat the warning of possible injury or death whenever the
risk of falling is mentioned.

Your E-Bike can provide many years of service, fun and tness, if you take good care of it.
Understand the features of your E-Bike and become aware of the challenges that you will meet on the road. There are
many things you can do to protect yourself while riding. We will oer many recommendations and safety tips throughout
this manual. The following are those we believe to be the most important.
Always Wear A Helmet!
Helmets signicantly reduce the possibility and severity of head injuries. Always wear a helmet that complies with
BS EN 1078:1997. Do not wear loose clothing that can become tangled in the moving parts of the E-Bike. Wear sturdy
shoes and eye protection.
Know your E-Bike!
Your new E-Bike incorporates many features and functions that have never been built into a bicycle before. Read this
manual thoroughly to understand how those features enhance your riding pleasure and safety.
Ride Defensively!
One of the most common cycling accidents is that when the driver of a parked car opens his door into a rider’s path.
Another common occurrence is when a car or another cyclist moves suddenly into your path. Always be aware of other
vehicles around you. Do not assume that the driver or the other cyclist see you. Get prepared to take evasive action or
stop suddenly.
Make Yourself Easy To See!
Make yourself more visible by wearing bright reective clothing. Keep your reectors clean and properly aligned. Signal
your intentions so that drivers and other cyclists can notice your actions.

Important Safety Information
Ride Within Your Limits!
Take it slow until you are familiar with conditions that you encounter. Be especially careful in wet conditions as traction
can be greatly reduced and brakes less eective. Never ride faster than conditions warrant or beyond your riding abilities.
Remember that alcohol, drugs, fatigue and inattention can signicantly reduce your ability to make good judgments and
ride safely.
Keep Your E-Bike In Safe Condition
Follow the inspection and maintenance guidelines beginning on page 21. Check critical safety equipment before each and
every ride.
Know The Law
Cyclists are required to follow the trac rules. Additionally, some communities regulate the use of motorized bicycles
regarding minimum age requirements and necessary equipment. Check with your local police department for specic
details.
Correct Frame Size
When selecting a new bicycle, the proper frame size is a very important safety consideration. Most full sized bicycles
come in a range of frame sizes. These sizes usually refer to the distance between the center of the bottom bracket and
the top of the frame seat tube.
For safe and comfortable riding there should be clearance of no less than 1-2 inches between the groin area of
the intended rider and the top tube of the bicycle frame, while the rider straddles the bicycle with both feet at on
the ground.
The ideal clearance will vary between types of bicycles and rider preference. This makes straddling the frame when o
the seat easier and safer in situations such as sudden trac stops. Women can use a men’s style bicycle to determine
the correct size of women’s model.

Important Notices, Helmets & Reectors (Safety)
Please read and understand these instructions completely before operating your E-bike to prevent serious injury to
yourself and others, and to prevent damage to the bike.
IMPORTANT NOTICES
• Always recharge the battery immediately after each use. Failure to do so may damage the battery.
• The charger can remain plugged-in for trickle-charge purposes during long periods of storage.
• For storage periods over 1 month, the battery should be checked and fully recharged before riding.
Helmets
Always wear a properly tted helmet which is comfortable, lightweight, has good ventilation and covers the forehead when
riding a bicycle.
It’s strongly advised that a properly tted bicycle safety helmet be worn at all times when riding your bicycle.
Reectors
Reectors are important safety devices which are designed as an intergral part of your bicycle. UK regulations require
every bicycle to be equipped with front, rear wheels and pedal reectors. These reectors are designed to pick up and
reect street lights as well as car lights in a way that helps you to be seen and recognised as a moving cyclist. Reectors
and their mounting brackets must be checked regularly to make sure they are clean, straight, unbroken and securely
mounted. Replace damaged reectors and straighten or tighten any that are bent or loose.
Your bicycle is supplied with one front reector, one rear wheel reector, and four pedal reectors. These are important
safety and legal requirements, and should remain securely tted in good, clean condition at all times. Periodically inspect
all reectors, brackets and mounting hardware for signs of wear or damage. Replace immediately if damange is found.
Some bicycles will require you to install your reectors onto your bicycle.
