HOW TO CHARGE THE BATTERY
Directly from the bike
Make sure that the engine is turned off (“OFF” position) when charging
directly from the bike. Plug the charger first into the bike charging port,
then into the socket.
Removing the battery to charge
Remove the battery directly and plug the charger first into the battery, then
directly into the electrical socket. The battery charger has a charge status
LED indicator:
- Red – Battery charging.
- Green – Battery full charged.
IMPORTANT: When parking a GM30, we recommend you lock your battery by setting it on “OFF” position, then remove the key. Keep 1 key at home as only 2 keys of every GM30. Give the GM30 a extra long lock to avoid stolen.
Battery usage
- To reach the furthest distance on one charge, it is recommended to pedal the GM30 while the Pedal Assist System is turned on. It will help save the battery.
- When battery power is low while riding your GM30,It is recommended to pedal as much as possible to minimize battery usage soy can get home on the charge that is left on the battery. Once home, charge it as soon as possible.
- To further get the best distance out of your GM30, refrain from unnecessary braking; coast as much as possible.
IMPORTANT: If your GM30 will be kept for a long period in extreme temperatures (below 0 / 32 or above 35 / 95 ), remove the battery and keep it in a place where the temperature is between 4 /40 and 32 /90 . Do not charge the battery when the air temperature is below 0 / 32 or above 40 / 104 . Serious damage to the battery could result.
HOW TO REMOVE THE BATTERY
- Insert the key into the key hole, turn the key anticlockwise to a certain position, the battery can be take out by lifting the battery to the up side and moving it to the right side.

- Max speed (all electric mode) is 15.53mph /25 km/h (100% charging condition).
- Switch between gears by pushing the gear lever.
DISPLAY AND BUTTONS
Using Gears
Some model bicycles are equipped with gears. Gears are used to change the
ratio between rotations of the rear wheel and the crank set. This enables you
to pedal less and travel faster on flat or downhill sections, or pedal faster
and travel slower to climb hills. Gearing is independent to pedal assistance,
so pedal assistance operates the same regardless of selected gear. Remember,
however, that pedal assistance is ” governed” by overall speed.
The selectable gears are located on the rear wheel, known as a “gear cluster”
or “cassette”. The larger the gear, the smaller number of rotations per
rotation of the crank. The largest gear is the “lowest” and is referred to as
“1”. As each gear becomes smaller, it is a “higher” gear then the previous and
is numbered sequentially. The number of gears may vary between different
models. Beneath the gear cluster is the derailleur mechanism, which moves the
chain, so it runs on different gears. The derailleur is operated by the rider
using controls mounted on the handlebars. The gear change is “indexed” so each
gear selection positively engages – this is factory set and should require no
adjustment. There may be slight variations between bicycle models in method to
change gear ” up” (from a lower gear to a higher gear), or to change gear
“down” (from a higher gear to a lower gear).
The image shows a “7-speed” type that uses a button for changing up gears
(push button to activate derailleur), and a lever for changing down gears (
rotate lever forward to activate derailleur).
Guidelines for Using Gears
To get the best performance and service life from the gear change system,
understand and apply the following techniques:
You MUST be pedaling during gear changes.
Do not attempt to change multiple gears in a single action. Allow each gear
change to complete fully before the next change.
Always use an appropriate gear for your speed, the terrain and incline. This
helps you ride most efficiently.
Keep the chain and gears properly lubricated and clean.
If you notice noise after changing gear or an ability to select a gear or the
chain not running smoothly, have the gear system inspected and adjusted by a
bicycle mechanic or suitably qualified person.

Using Brakes
All bicycle models are equipped with a front and rear wheel braking system.
Brakes are used to slow the bicycle down. The braking systems may use
different mechanics; however, the functionality is the same, and that is to
change the energy of the moving bicycle into heat energy (“friction” ):
For disc brakes, this means pads made from a special friction material
pinching against a disc mounted to the centre of the bicycle wheel.
The brakes are operated by the rider through levers mounted to the handlebars, The left-hand lever operates the front brake, the right- hand lever operates the rear brake. The ability of the rider to adequately slow and/or stop the bicycle depends largely on the skill of the rider, the surface being ridden on and other factors such as rain, tires, adjustment and condition of the brake parts etc.
Guidelines for Using Brakes
- To get the best performance and service life from the brake system, understand and apply the following techniques:
- In wet conditions, which reduces friction, always provide additional distance for braking and adjust how quickly you apply the brakes.
- When applying the brakes, particularly the front brake, use a lower pressure to start with until you feel the brakes starting to “ bite”, then increase pressure as required.Do NOT over-apply the brakes and cause the wheel to stop rotating – this may result in loss of control.
- Maintain the brake friction components (pads, shoes, rubbers) in good condition and replace when they reach the wear limit.
- Maintain brake adjustment so that the brakes perform effectively, the levers are comfortably positioned, and there is not excessive play in adjustable components.
- If the brakes are not performing effectively, making abnormal noise or any part is not serviceable or cannot be adjusted correctly, have the brakes inspected and adjusted by a bicycle mechanic or suitably qualified person.
- If the brake cables become frayed or otherwise damaged, have them replaced by a bicycle mechanic or suitable qualified person.

Battery Storage
When storing the batteries for a long period of time:
- Charge the batteries at least every 30 days to avoid capacity loss. Batteries slowly self- discharge when unused over a long period. If the battery cells are left at a critically low charge state, the lifespan and capacity will be permanently reduced.
- Always disconnect the charger from the mains electrical supply and battery before storing the battery.
- Avoid storing batteries in extreme temperatures, whether hot or cold. The recommended battery storage temperature is between 0 and 25 ° C (32 to 77 ° F). Avoid exposing batteries to temperatures at or above 40°C (104°F) for extended periods.
- Batteries are best kept in a cool, dry place. Do not allow batteries to accumulate condensation, as this may cause shorting or corrosion.
Battery Fuse
Use fuses of the same type only – the rating (in Amperes) is printed on the
end of the fuse. . If the fuse”
blows” regularly, have the bicycle inspected at an authorized service Centre.
The bicycle battery/ electrical system may feature fuse protection to prevent
damage in the event of a short circuit, overload or over current situation.
For example, if the electrical system is exposed to excessive moisture. On
some model bicycles, the fuse is accessible and can be easily replaced. If the
fuse is “blown”, the bicycle electronics will not be available until the fuse
is replaced. To replace the fuse:
- Using a suitable screwdriver, remove (rotate left) the fuse holder on the battery pack until fully unscrewed, then pull the fuse holder and fuse from the bicycle.
- Discard the blown fuse. Insert the replacement fuse into the fuse holder.
- Insert the fuse and fuse holder to the bicycle, and re install (rotate right) the fuse holder until fully.
Tyre Pressures
The tyres must always be inflated to the correct pressure (as specified on
the tire sidewall) before every ride. Riding the bicycle with either too low
or too high pressures will affect bicycle performance, may affect effective
electrical assistance range, and may render the bicycle as dangerous. Use an
accurate pressure gauge when checking pressures.
Chain Care
The chain periodically requires lubrication, depending on frequency of use and
conditions etc.
If the chain is noisy or running roughly, lubricate it by applying a small
amount of bicycle chain lubricant to it.
Do not allow the lubricant to get on to the tires.
Torque Settings
It is important to regularly check all fasteners for adequate tightness. The
following are considered highly important and should be adjusted to the
specified torque values using a suitable bicycle torque wrench, sockets and
adaptors. Depending on bicycle model and design, some fasteners listed below
may not be applicable:
- Front Axle Nut – 35Nm
- Rear Axle Nut – 35Nm
- Handlebar Clamp Bolt – 10Nm
- Handlebar Neck Lock Bolt – 15Nm
- Handlebar Stem Bolt – 24Nm
- Pedal Bolts – 35Nm
- Brake Calliper Mounting Bolt – 7Nm
- Brake Cable Anchor Bolt – 7Nm
Frequently Questions &Answers
Q: Is it normal for batteries to get warm when charging?
A: Yes, it is normal that the batteries will become warm during the
charging process.
Q: How long will my batteries last before needing replacement?
A: Average battery life depends on use and conditions. Even with proper
care, rechargeable batteries do not last forever. Generally, lithium-ion
batteries will last more than 800 charge discharge cycles. A partial
charge/discharge counts fractionally against those numbers;
discharging the battery to 50% then recharging it completely uses up one half
of a charge cycle. “End of useful life” refers to the point at which a battery
can no longer supply 60% or more of its original rated ampere-hour (Ah)
capacity. A this point, degradation of the battery being able to be fully
charged accelerates and the battery will need to be replaced.
Q: What happens if the battery discharges while riding?
A: Pedal assistance will stop when battery charge reaches a minimum level
(check level on the console,if applicable). Lights (if applicable) may still
function for a period. Your bike can be ridden without pedal assistance.
