OPENING HAPPINESS

UNBOXING EMX

Step 1
Place the box in an upright position. You can identify the upright position of the box by checking the ‘this side up’ sign placed at the side of the box with directional arrows. Gently open the box with the help of a box cutter or a pair of scissors.

Step 2
The e-bike is packaged to avoid getting scratches and damage. Once you open the box, carefully remove the e-bike. To do so, hold the e-bike at the stem and the top tube and lift it vertically. Place it gently on the ground away from the packaging.

Step 3
Apart from the e-bike, you will find smaller boxes that contain accessories such as the charger, pedal set, and tool kit. Remove them as well.

Step 4
Place the e-bike carefully in an upright position.

Step 5
The front wheel comes separately with the e-bike, packaged to protect the disc brake and the tyre from damage. To remove the front wheel from the box, ensure that you do not pull it abruptly. After that, ensure that you remove the protective packaging on the wheel before you install it to the e-bike.

Step 6
Look for any zip ties that are still attached to the wheel. Cut them carefully and ensure that you do not damage the e-bike while doing so.

Step 7
Remove all the packaging on the e-bike without damaging it.

Step 8
Ensure that the e-bike is placed upright in an open area before you start assembling it.

ASSEMBLING THE E-BIKE

MOUNTING THE HANDLEBAR

The e-bike is packaged with the front fork facing the opposite side. You must first align it to its original position. To do so, lift the stem of the handlebar, turn it 180 degrees and align it properly.
Unscrew the four screws on the e-bike’s stem. Loosen the screws in an anticlockwise direction using the appropriate 4mm Allen key. Remove the screws and secure the handlebar and the stem cap by aligning the grooves on the handlebar onto the stem. Then reattach the stem cover and tighten the screws in a clockwise direction. Ensure that the screws fit smoothly into the groove without any coarseness when tightened to avoid thread damage. Ensure that the screws are tightened properly on the handlebar.

MOUNTING THE HANDLEBAR

MOUNTING THE SEAT POST

Open the seat post clamp on the seat tube and insert the seat post. Tighten the screw on the left side. Attach the rear reflector and rear fender to the seat post at the desired position and tighten the screws. Finally, close the quick-release lever by pressing it towards the frame.

Note: You have the freedom to adjust the saddle position with the help of the screw right below the saddle.

MOUNTING THE FRONT TYRE

Turn the display downwards and place the e-bike frame upside down on a soft surface. This ensures that the display of the e-bike or any other part is not being damaged.

Remove the front tyre from the packaging. Before mounting the tyre, you will have to remove the end caps from both ends. Moreover, you need to remove the quick release from the Kit box.

Stand at the front hub of the upside-down e-bike with the disc brake on the left. When mounting the front tyre, make sure that the tyre fits smoothly.
If the front wheel does not fit smoothly, you have to loosen the inside of the front brake calliper.

INSERTING THE QUICK RELEASE

When you are inserting the quick release, there are two springs inside. The diameter of the quick-release spring is smaller on one end. The smaller end should be on the inside, the larger end should be on the outside of the tyre, and the lever side should be opposite the disc. Once inserted, turn the cap till you feel some tension on the quick release lever on your right. Press the lever to close it, and the front tyre will be mounted.

MOUNTING THE FRONT HEADLIGHT AND MUDGUARD

Turn the e-bike upright in a standing position. Now, to mount the headlight, first undo the screw placed on the mounting bracket in front of the front suspension in an anticlockwise direction.
Place the headlight and the mudguard and screw the mudguard and the headlight. Then with the help of the appropriate Allen key, secure them to the front fork.

MOUNTING THE PEDALS

On the pedal, check for the marking that indicates the right and left pedals. You will find attached stickers that indicate the same. To mount the pedals, you have to screw the right pedal clockwise and for the left pedal, screw it anticlockwise with the 15mm spanner.
The last step of the assembly is to place the battery. After that, you will be ready to ride the electric revolution.

You can find the horn on the right side of the handlebar. The button has a clear horn sign and is green in colour, as displayed in the picture alongside.

E-BIKE CARE

WHAT’S THE BEST WAY TO CARE FOR MY E-BIKE?
It is recommended to use a soft brush, wet cotton cloth or sponge on e-bikes rather than a hose or stream of water. Ideally, you should clean the e-bike after using it every time. However, you can wash it weekly. This will help prolong the life of the e-bike.
WHICH CLEANING AGENT CAN I USE?
Bike shampoos and care products from specialist stores are highly recommended as they do not attack plastics and seals. Even soap solution or washing-up liquid can be used. They should however not be too aggressive or strongly degreasing.
HOW REGULARLY WOULD YOU RECOMMEND CLEANING AN E-BIKE?
Ideally after every e-bike trip so that the dirt does not become ingrained, therefore, as often as possible or when necessary. You can dry wash the e-bike with a cotton rag or a microfibre cloth as this prevents corrosion.
WHAT SHOULD I DO IF WATER RUNS INTO THE BATTERY MOUNT?
The mount is designed in such a way that water can drain off faster and the contacts can dry easily. To ensure that this happens, the mount and plug area should be kept clean. The contacts are provided with a coating which protects the surface against corrosion and wear.
WHERE SHOULD I LUBRICATE THE CHAIN – AT THE FRONT SPROCKET OR AT THE REAR?
Neither of these. When applying lubricant, care must be taken that the brake discs are not
contaminated or the sprocket gummed up. It is therefore best to spray where the chain runs freely. It is best to remove excess lube with a rag or soft cloth.

GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Make sure you read this important safety information before you ride the e-bike:

Familiarise yourself with the e-bike features and functions before taking it for a ride.
Make sure to wear safety gear whenever you head out on the e-bike:
● A properly fitted helmet
● Reflective tape or accessories at night to be as visible as possible
● Tyre pump, tyre levers, patch kit, water or a sports drink
● Shatter-resistant protective eyewear

THE RECOMMENDED TYRE AIR PRESSURE FOR EMX IS 40 PSI (FRONT) AND 45 PSI (REAR)

BATTERY HANDLING AND CHARGING

Make sure you follow all the precautions while handling the battery:

Ensure the battery is kept away from children and pets.
Ensure you store the battery in a cool, dry place.
Avoid causing physical damage to the battery.
Use only the EMotorad provided charger or a spare/replacement supplied by an authorised dealer to charge the e-bike.
Ensure that the battery is secured to the frame before every ride.
Ensure to not overcharge or undercharge the battery. Charge it for 4-5 hours only.

CAREFREE MONSOON

RIDE FREE IN THE RAIN

Wipe the e-bike down regularly with a microfibre cloth.
Pay special attention to the chain links.
Check the brake pads for wear.
Wear waterproof but breathable clothing.
Ride slow and brake earlier.
Reduce the tyre pressure by 5 PSI accordingly to maintain better traction.
Watch out for slippery spots.
Secure yourself with reflective clothing for safer rides.
Neoprene shoe covers are the best to maintain the grip on pedals.
Wear orange, yellow protective lenses during low light levels to increase contrast.

PIT STOP RULES

HOW TO MAINTAIN YOUR RIDE

Maintain the tyre pressure at 40-45 PSI at least. If you see any discrepancy, do take the e-bike to a mechanic and get the tyre pressure maintained to avoid flat tyres and punctures.
Lubricate the chain regularly to avoid rough sounds from the chain and other issues while switching gears.
We recommend that you service and carry out maintenance once in 6 months from an authorised service center. This is crucial to keep the e-bike functioning properly.
