• 17mm wrench
• 6mm hex wrench
• 18mm wrench

Usage Instructions:

Connecting the Rear and Main Frames:

1. Place the rear frame (1) and main frame (4) vertically on a firm level surface.
2. Loosen the 6 sets of M10 nuts and bolts on both sides of the frames, leaving slots between the washers and the frames.
3. Align the slots of the frames with each other, sliding the rear frame onto the main frame as shown. For best results, start with either side and repeat for the other side.

6. Connect the red brake cables from the correct handlebars to the correct brakes. (Left to the front brake and right to the rear brake in the United States.)
7. Bind these cables using the zip ties (11).

Installing the Rear Wheels:

1. Place the rear wheels (5) on both sides of the rear frame (1).
2. Insert the axles of the wheels into the slots of the frame.
3. Loosen the M10 nuts and bolts on both sides of each wheel.

Safety Information

Warning!

• Install and adjust this tricycle ONLY in accordance with these instructions. Read them completely prior to installation and use. Contact customer service if any point is unclear.
• ALWAYS obey all applicable local and national laws and regulations while riding. Do not ride this tricycle in any area prohibited to electric bicycles or tricycles. Always wear your helmet and other required protective gear. Always maintain your reflectors and other required safety equipment.
• Check whether the brakes function well using the brake levers before riding. Even after power is cut to the motorized wheel, the inertia of the tricycle will often require active braking power.
• ALWAYS ensure all fasteners and components are intact and securely tightened before and after every use.
• DO NOT ride this tricycle if any part is damaged or malfunctions. Repair or replace worn and broken parts before further use.
• Pay attention to the remaining power before setting out and during use. Recharge your battery as needed to ensure it never runs out of power at a moment where you are taken by surprise.
• DO NOT allow children or persons unfamiliar with these instructions to operate this tricycle without strict supervision.
• DO NOT wear loose footwear or clothing that may become caught in the wheels or any other moving parts.
• It is recommended that you not ride your tricycle fast until you are fully familiar with your new electric tricycle and its controls.
• ALWAYS be alert for people, animals, or any obstacles that may appear in front of you while riding your tricycle. Be aware that pedestrians and drivers may not expect the speed or responsiveness of your tricycle. Adjust your behavior accordingly. It is advisable to install warning devices to draw their attention, but always be ready to turn safely out of their way if needed. Do not focus on the LCD display for extended periods of time while riding.
• We do not recommend that you ride your tricycle at night or in an environment with poor visibility. If you have an emergency that makes it necessary to do so, keep your light on and limit your speed appropriately.
• DO NOT get the battery, its charger, or its power cord wet or operate them with wet hands.
• NEVER use the pedal assist system (PAS) in any situation, road condition, or terrain where doing so might impair your control of your tricycle.
• After each use and before any cleaning, servicing, or storage, DO NOT leave the key at “ON” and it is strongly recommended to disconnect the power plug from the battery’s socket and remove the battery from this tricycle to avoid any unintentional touch on the throttle, causing the tricycle to run and bringing about accidents.

Operation

Riding with Throttle Control

1. Insert the key (26) into its socket on the battery and turn it clockwise to “ON”. The LCD display on the right handlebar should turn on, displaying the remaining power of the battery.
2. Turn the throttle handle on the right handlebar to activate the motorized wheel.
3. To speed up, turn the throttle handle further. To slow down, ease the throttle handle back and/or press your brake levers. Pressing either brake lever completely will cut off all power from your battery to the motorized wheel, temporarily leaving it in neutral. Release the brake lever to restore power.
4. To stop your tricycle, release the throttle handle completely and apply your brakes as needed. Press the emergency stop button below the LCD display if necessary, which will cut off the power immediately even if the throttle handle is not released.
5. To turn off the motorized wheel, release the throttle and brake levers while the tricycle is completely stopped. Turn the key counterclockwise to “OFF” and the LCD display will turn off.

Riding with Pedal Assist Control

1. Insert the key (26) into its socket on the battery and turn it clockwise to “ON”. The LCD display on the right handlebar should turn on, displaying the remaining power of the battery.
2. Make sure the throttle handle is fully released.
3. Turn the pedals on your tricycle once. The pedal assist system (PAS) will activate and turn the wheels using the motor’s power immediately, allowing the tricycle to reach its highest speed.
4. Turn off the pedal assist system by turning the throttle handle or pressing the brake lever. The tricycle will default to throttle control or neutral. Press the emergency stop button below the LCD display if necessary, which will cut off the power immediately, defaulting the tricycle to neutral.

Ride with Manual Control
To ride your tricycle normally, leave the key (26) at “OFF” on the battery or remove the battery.

Maintenance

Charging
To see the battery’s remaining power, refer to the LCD display on the right handlebar or press the power button and refer to the LED display on the top of the battery.

1. Unlock the battery by turning the key counterclockwise to “Unlock”.
2.  Remove the battery from the tricycle.
3. Connect the charger (16) to a stable compatible power source.
4. Connect the battery to the charger using the provided power cord (15). The charger’s power indicator light should turn red and charging should begin.
5. When the light turns green, the battery has been fully charged. Disconnect the charger from your power source first and then remove the battery from the charger.

Miscellaneous

• Disconnect the power after each use and prior to any cleaning or other maintenance.
• Check the parts of the tricycle for any looseness, wear, or damage after use. Tighten, repair, or replace any problematic parts before further use.
