WARNING
Read this entire manual before assembling or using your new GIN X electric bike.
Do not modify, disassemble, or replace the original electrical components on
your bike. Doing so will invalidate your warranty and could put you in danger.
Riding any type of bike comes with some risks which can’t be predicted or
avoided. Taking proper care of bike components can lower the risk of sudden
failure of components but cannot prevent it. These sudden failures could cause
serious harm, injury, or death to the rider. If you notice abnormalities in any
component on the bike, take it to a licensed mechanic to be repaired or
replaced immediately. GIN electric bikes assumes no liability for harm, injury, or
death of the rider. This manual is not intended to function as a detailed service
manual. GIN electric bikes recommends having your local bike shop mechanic
perform a detailed safety check of your e-bike before your first ride. Ensure your
local mechanic is experienced and reputable.
The GIN X can withstand most rain showers without sustaining damage.
However, the bike and its mechanical and electrical components are not
waterproof. We do not recommend storing or using the bike in wet conditions.
The warranty for the e-bike does not cover water damage.
For technical assistance or warranty claims contact our team at GIN electric
bikes at +44 7435 718906 or email at [email protected]
Maintaining Your Electric Bike
Best Practices
• Store your bike in a clean dry place to avoid rust
• Keep components tightened to the torque specifications listed in the
Recommended Torque Values section of this manual. Refer to the table of
contents at the beginning of this manual for the page number of this section
• Ensure the frame latch and handlebar latch are locked in place before riding
• Clean and lubricate moving parts regularly
• Clean your bike frame with a wet rag and low residue cleaner. After cleaning
lubricate where necessary
• Ensure your bike tires are always inflated to a pressure within the
recommended range printed on the tire sidewalls
• Before each ride ensure all electrical wires are connected
• The GIN X is not waterproof. It is likely that components will not sustain
damage in most rain showers, however GIN electric bikes recommends storing
and riding the bike in a dry environment. Furthermore, water damage is not
covered under warranty
• Your bike will need to be serviced at regular intervals and after the initial
wear-in period. See the 100 Mile Tune Up and Ongoing Service sections below.
100 Mile Tune Up
Your bike will need to be serviced after 100 miles or 5 full battery charge cycles,
whichever comes first. This is what we call the “wear in period” of the bike. GIN
electric bikes recommends having service done at your local bike shop by a
certified and reputable bike mechanic. Below is a summary of things to have
inspected:
Brakes
Brake cables will stretch during the wear-in period. This may affect braking
performance and the brakes may need to be adjusted and tensioned properly.

Ongoing Service
Hardware
All hardware should be torqued to the torque specified in the Recommended
Torque Values section of this manual. Refer to the table of contents at the
beginning of this manual for the page number of this section. If any hardware
has signs of damage take the bike to your local bike shop to have a certified
and reputable bike mechanic inspect and replace them if deemed necessary.
You should have your bike maintained at regular service intervals at your local
bike shop by a certified and reputable bike mechanic. Below is a general
summary of maintenance that should be carried out on a monthly and
quarterly basis:
Monthly (or about every 250-500 miles)
• Inflate tires to a pressure within recommended range printed on tire sidewalls
• Lubricate chain such that there is little noise from the drivetrain when in use
• Check that all hardware is tightened to the torque specifications listed in the
Recommended Torque Values section of this manual. Refer to the table of
contents at the beginning of this manual for the page number of this section
• Check your brake pads for signs of wear. Replace if necessary
• Check your bike’s shifting performance. Adjust the derailleur if necessary
• Clean the bike with low residue cleaner and dry completely. Lubricate after
cleaning where necessary
• Check spoke tension. Adjust if necessary. The recommended spoke tension
can be found in the Recommended Torque Values section of this manual. Refer
to the table of contents at the beginning of this manual for the page number of
this section.
Quarterly (or about every 750-1500 miles)
• Check all items on the Monthly service list above
• Check tire tread for excessive wear. Replace if necessary
• Go into your local bike shop for a tune-up by a certified and
reputable bike mechanic.
Shifting
Shifting cables will stretch during the wear-in period. This may affect shifting
performance and the derailleur may need to be adjusted.
