Warnings and caution statements
Electric bikes can be dangerous to use. The user or consumer assumes all risk
of personal injuries, damage, or failure of the bicycle or system and all
other losses or damages to themselves and others and to any property arising
out of or as a result of using the bicycle .
As with all mechanical components, your bicycle is subjected to wear and high
stresses. Different materials and components may react to wear or stress
fatigue in different ways. If the design life of a component has been
exceeded, it may suddenly fail, possibly causing injuries to the rider. Any
form of crack, scratches or change of coloring in highly stressed areas
indicate the life of the component has been reached and should be replaced. If
you have an impairment or disability such as visual impairment, hearing
impairment, physical impairment, cognitive/language impairment, and/or a
seizure disorder, consult your physician before riding our bikes. For
replacement parts, technical information and warranty assistance, please
contact Revi Mobility Inc.
PLEASE NOTE : This manual is not intended as a user, service, repair or maintenance manual. Please seek assistance from a qualifies technician for service, repairs or maintenance. Your insurance policies may not provide coverage for accidents involving the use of this bicycle. To determine if coverage is provided, you should contact your insurance company or agent. Do not disassemble, modify or replace electrical parts.
This manual contains many ··warnings” and “Cautions” concerning the consequences of failure to maintain or inspect your bicycle and of failure to follow safe cycling practices. The caution symbol I can be seen throughout this manual. and indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in serious injury or death. or is an alert against unsafe practices .
Key parts operations
Hand throttle control
When the pedal assist mode is set to ”O”, the pedal assist function does not
engage and the throttle will NOT accelerate the bike forward. The throttle
control is operated on the right hand side. You control the throttle by
twisting throttle attachment. The farther the throttle switch is from its
resting position, the more power is delivered to the motor to accelerate the
bike. When you want to slow down, you simply release the throttle and let it
return to its resting position and simultaneously apply the brakes. This bike
also comes with a throttle override function, which allows the throttle to
work in pedal assist modes.
Brakes
Your electric bike is equipped with hydraulic disc brakes for maximum
reliability. Applying hand pressure to the brake levers will cause the wheel
brake to cause friction against the brake disc, slowing the wheel. The more
hand pressure applied to the brake lever, the faster the electric bike will
come to a stop. 1 The rear brake should always be applied before and while the
front brake is applied. Applying only the front brake to slow or stop at high
speeds may result in the rider being ejected from the saddle and continuing
forward over the handlebars. It is best to apply even pressure to both brake
levers when slowing or stopping. Bicycles equipped with disc brakes will
occasionally make a slight scraping noise when the wheels are turning without
the brakes being applied. This is normal. Make sure that the brake lever does
not contact the handlebar when full hand pressure is applied. If so, then the
brakes must be adjusted by increasing the tension on the cable. With Hydraulic
Brakes is it vital they are bled properly and by a certified bike
mechanic – please service and maintain your brakes every 500 miles or every 6
months or whenever necessary. Brakes are a critical part of the bike and it is
essential that both are working greatly.
Warning:
- Disc brake rotors become hot during use. Do not touch or come in contact with the disc rotor shortly after use.
- Wet weather will require a longer distance to stop. Brake earlier and avoid sudden stops when riding in wet conditions.
Riding on hills
- If you encounter a hill that causes the speed of your bicycle to drop below 7 miles per hour (11km/h) on electric power only (throttle mode) with the throttle fully applied, you should pedal to assist the bicycle up the hill.
- Failure to pedal can overstress the motor and controller, possibly causing those components to overheat.
- Failure to pedal up steep hills to assist the bicycle also will overstress the battery reducing its capacity and shortening its useful life.
Riding in adverse weather conditions:
Your electric bike is built with components that are sealed against dust and water, and can safely operate in most weather conditions. To ensure the longest life of your components, however you should avoid riding in wet weather when possible. The battery, however, cannot handle heavy raining conditions. You should refrain from using the bicycle in heavy or long lasting rain (more than 3-4 minutes). Never charge or use the USB outlet after riding in the rain. Park the bike in a dry, warm place and wait at least 24 hours before charging or using the USB port. Since electric bikes are faster and heavier than normal bikes, when riding in wet weather, you should use extreme caution. You are more likely to fall from a wet road surface when traveling at high speed. Heavy electric bikes also take longer to slow down and the required stopping distance in wet weather is even greater. Be sure to leave ample room for stopping and brake gently and evenly to avoid falling.
Maintenance
Some service and maintenance can and should be performed by the owner,and require no special tools or knowledge beyond what is presented in this manual. You should have your bicycle and its components checked periodically by your dealer for indicators of stress and/or potential failure, including cracks, deformation, corrosion, paint peeling, dents and any other indicators of potential failure, including cracks, deformation, corrosion, paint peeling, dents and any other indicators of potential problems, inappropriate use or abuse. These are important safety/maintenance checks and very important to help prevent accidents, bodily injury to the rider and shortened product life. The following are examples of the type of service you should perform yourself. Break In Period: Your bike will last longer and perform more efficiently if you break it in before riding it hard. Control cables and wheel spokes may stretch when a new bike is first used and may require readjustment by your dealer. Your Mechanical Safety Check (below) will help you identify some things that need readjustment. Even if everything on your bike seems to be in working order, it is best to take your bike back to the dealer periodically for check-ups. Dealers typically suggest you bring your bike in for a 30-day check-up. Another way to judge when it is time for the first check-up is to bring the bike in after three to five hours of on the road. Of course, if at any time you suspect something is wrong with the bike, take it to your dealer for a check-up prior to riding it again. Mechanical Safety Check – Perform the following maintenance after every long or hard ride, and especially if the bike has been exposed to water or grit: or at least every 100 miles. Clean the bike (consult the drive system manufacturer’s user manual for specific cleaning instructions or warnings). Lightly lubricate the chains rollers with a good quality bicycle lubricant. Wipe off excess lubricant with a lint-free cloth. Lubrication is a function of climate. Talk to your dealer about the best lubricants and the recommended lubrication frequency for your area.
Squeeze the front brake and rock the bike forward and back. Make sure everything feels solid. If you feel a clunk with any forward or backward movement of the bike, you probably have a loose headset. Have your bike checked by your dealer. If either brake lever fails, don’t ride the bike. Have your dealer check and repair or replace. Lift the front wheel off the ground and swing side to side. If you feel any binding or roughness in the steering, you may have a tight headset. Have it checked by your dealer. Rock one of the pedals toward and away from the centerline of the bike: then do the same with the other pedal. If anything feels loose, have your dealer check it. Examine the brake pads. If they are starting to look worn or not hitting the wheel rim squarely, have the dealer adjust or replace them. Check the control cables and cable housing. If you observe any kinks or fraying, have your dealer replace them. Squeeze each adjoining pair of spokes on either side of each wheel between your thumb and index finger. They should feel the same. If any spokes feel loose, have your dealer check the wheel for tension and trueness. Check the tires for excess wear, cuts or tears. If you are unsure whether your tires are worn or damaged, ask your dealer, who can replace them if necessary. Check the wheel rims for excess wear, dings, dents and scratches. Consult your dealer if you see any rim damage. Check to make sure that all parts and accessories are still secured, and tighten any which are not. Check the frame, particularly in the area around all tube joints, the handlebars, the stem: and the seat post for any deep scratches, cracks or discoloration. There are signs of stress-caused fatigue and indicate that a part is at the end of its useful life and needs to be replaced. If the chain won’t shift smoothly and quietly from gear to gear, the derailleur is out of adjustment, and you should see your dealer.
