INTRODUCTION
If there is one thing we could all agree on, iris that riding a bike should be fun. Not painful. Not work. Not something to be thought of with a deep sigh and a “well, if I HAVE to” grumble. Fun, like when you were a kid and getting on your bike meant you were free from the risk of getting asked to do the chores or your homework.

And now, thanks to technology, we are able to offer you an even easier way to ride. Your e-bike is powered by 36v lithium-ion battery that drives a 350W rear hub motor, assisting each pedal stroke with 3 different levels of pedal assist. Fold it up, toss it in the car trunk or RV as a last-mile option, or even on the boat for those times when you need to zip from the dock to the ice cream shop.

We’re going to help you track down the fun you forgot you had on a bike, from way back when. its been Just for way too Jong.

SECTION 2: ASSEMBLY

There are 3 main assembly steps to getting your new Everyday e-bike built up and ready to safely ride. All of these are covered in detail in the following sections, but in general, you need to attach the handlebar, insert the insert the saddle, and then attach the pedals.

For a full assembly video, please visit our YouTube page at youtube.com/@everydaybicycles

SECTION 2. 1 : ATTACHING THE HANDLEBAR

First, move the stem into the upright and vertical position, and close the clamp to lock the stem in the upright position.

Next, open the Quick Release Lever at the top of the stem bar, and position the handlebar in the groove. Make sure that the Brake Levers on the handlebar are facing forward.

Replace the bracket, and close the Quick Release Lever to lock the handlebar in place.

Once the handlebar is attached, unlock the stem assembly and fold it down again to expose the interior bolt.

Straighten the front wheel so that its aligned with the handlebar. Tighten the bolt, and then secure the stem and handlebar assembly once again by locking the clamp.

Visit our Everyday Bicycles You Tube channel for technical support videos, product reviews and assembly instructions.

SECTION 2.2: ATTACHING THE PEDALS

Each pedal is labelled either Left or Right, and has either a L or R stamped into the end of the pedal axle (Fig. 13).

When you are seated on your bicycle, the left side of the bike is also your left side. The left is also referred to as the “non-drive side”, since the crank assembly and drivetrain are on the right side of the bike (the “drive side”). The Left and Right pedals can ONLY be installed on the correct side of the bike, so it is very important to make sure that you have the appropriate pedals for the correct side of the bike.

To start, insert the pedal into the crank arm, and start to tighten the threads towards the front of the bicycle. Hand tighten the pedal first to ensure that its correctly threaded, and going into the crank arm smoothly. To finish tightening the pedal, use the supplied pedal wrench, and apply an appropriate amount of tension so that they pedal is fully tightened (Fig. 14). Repeat this process for the other side of the bicycle.

SECTION 2.3: ATTACHING THE SADDLE

The saddle and seat post are shipped attached. Take the entire assembly, and insert the seat post into the seat tube of the bicycle. Adjust the height of the saddle to your riding comfort, and tighten the Quick Release Saddle Lever (Fig. 15).

NOTE: The seat post has a “Minimum Insertion Mark” stamped onto it, which is shown by the knurling on the tube. These marks must always be BELOW the top of the seat tube of the bicycle frame. If the bicycle is ridden with these marks above the seat tube, the seat post can unexpectedly bend or break due to the leverage
being placed on it by the weight of the rider. Failure to insert the seat tube properly into the frame can cause injury and/or damage to the bicycle frame and components.

SAFETY CHECK: Before each ride, please check to make sure that all of the key components of your bicycle are in good working order, and that all of the axle nuts and quick release clamps are properly tightened. Check to make sure that your tire pressure is sufficient, and that all of your display wires are plugged in and working. Check to ensure that your braking system is functioning properly, and that your disc brakes are running smoothly through the calliper. If you have any concerns about any of these steps, or have any questions, please contact us at [email protected] or at 855-249-1471.

SECTION 3: BATTERY CHARGING

The battery is equipped with a manual shutoff, which will completely power it off rather than just set it in sleep mode. To turn the battery on, open the cover on the right side of the battery, and turn the switch on. The display will only turn on once this switch is activated. When charging the battery or removing it from the bike, always turn off the battery.

The charge port to plug the charger in to charge the battery is also located here, as well as a USB port for charging external devices.

Charging your battery will take approximately 4-6 hours. When the charger is plugged in and the battery is charging, the light on the charger will show red. Once the battery is charged, it will switch to green.

Please follow these battery safety guidelines:

• Always charge your battery when the bicycle display shows Low Battery.
• Do not overcharge your battery, and do not leave your battery charging overnight.
• Do not use your bicycle if the battery is leaking, overheats, or is emitting a strange odour. Call our Customer Service team immediately.
• If the battery is leaking, do not touch any leaking materials, as the battery contains dangerous substances.
• Do not open the battery and do not insert anything into the battery.
• Only use the supplied charger for this battery. Using another charger can cause serious damage or fire.
• Do not use this battery if it has been over-discharged. Call our Customer Service team immediately.
• Do not turn on the bicycle while it is charging.

SECTION 4: LCD DISPLAY CONTROLS

TURNING THE BIKE ON AND OFF To turn the LCD display on, press and hold the Menu Button (GI). To turn it off, hold the Menu Button (GI) for several seconds (Fig. 19). If you do not turn off the bike, it will shut off automatically after 1 0 minutes. If the LCD Display does not turn on, check that the battery is charged and the LCD Display is fully connected. If you have any concerns about any of these steps, or have any questions, please contact us at [email protected] or at 855-249-1471.

HOW TO USE THE BIKE CONTROLS

To exit the settings menu, press and hold the Up ( + ) and Down (-) buttons simultaneously for three seconds.

PEDAL ASSIST
The Pedal Assist mode was designed to make riding an e-bike mimic the natural motion you are used to feeling when riding a bicycle. As you pedal your bike, a sensor is activated, which in turn generates power from the motor. The power is activated only when you pedal and the amount of power is determined by the pedal assist level
that you choose. The Pedal Assist mode (Eco, Mid, or High) provides power and propels the bike as you pedal. A low Pedal Assist level may require effort from you to pedal. The higher the level, the less effort is required by the rider to move the bike forward. To increase the Pedal Assist, press the Up ( +) button. To decrease the Pedal Assist, press the Down(-) button. Always start off slowly and gradually increase your level. Make sure your speed is appropriate to riding conditions (weather, road surface, traffic/pedestrians, etc.).

SPEEDOMETER
You can cycle through the main display options by pressing the Mode Button (GI). The options are Trip (TRIP), Total Distance (ODO), and Fault Monitoring (E00).

TURNING ON THE FRONT LED HEADLIGHT AND REAR LED LIGHT
Front LED Headlight: The On / Off switch for the front headlight in located on the left side of the handlebar above the Horn button. Simply turn On and Off. The headlight icon show on the top right of the screen when on.

BATTERY INDICATOR
The battery charge level is indicated by the bars on the side of the control screen. When all the bars are lit up the battery is fully charged. As the battery is drained, the bars will disappear going to the left, until there is only 1 bar left. Battery capacity percentages are shown in the chart on the next page.

NOTE: If the battery is completely drained, the bicycle can still be used as a normal bicycle until it can be charged again.

THROTTLE
Your electric bike features a Throttle, which will enable you to get moving without pedalling when the bike is set on Pedal Assist. Rotate the Throttle to start moving, and release it to disengage.

ERROR CODES
If there is an error with the function of the bike an error message will be displayed on the LCD Display along with an error code. See the table below for error code definitions. Note: The motor and pedal assist will not run if there is an error code, but you can still ride the bicycle like normal using the bicycle gears.

If you have any concerns about any of these steps, or have any questions, please contact us at[email protected] or at 855-249-14 71 .

SECTION 5: CARE AND MAINTENANCE

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
DRIVING RANGE
The average range of the bicycle is 30 + kms. However, a lot of factors will affect how far you can go per charge:

• Driving surface: A smooth, flat surface will increase driving distance.
• Weight: More weight means less distance.
• Ambient temperature: Please ride and store the bicycle under recommended temperature, which will increase its longevity and driving distance.
• Maintenance: Timely battery charging and maintenance will increase driving distance.
• Speed and driving style: Maintaining a moderate speed will increase distance. Frequent starting and stopping, acceleration, and deceleration will reduce it.

SPEED LIMIT
The top assisted speed of the bicycle is set at 32 km/h to obey Canadian regulations.

WEIGHT LIMIT
The maximum load is 300 lbs. Going above the maximum weight limit can cause injury or damage the bicycle.
