Never charge a hot battery immediately after a long ride; let the battery cool for approximately one hour prior to charging.
We do not advise that you allow the capacity of your battery to drain off completely, i.e. 0%, before recharging. It is highly recommended you recharge your battery when the battery level is between 20% and 30%.
For an elongated battery life, it is recommended batteries be stored at a 40% battery level at a cool temperature.
We also do not advise that you leave your battery unused for an extended period of time. Charge at least once every six months to a 50% capacity.

Assemble the handlebar

For your safety, when assembling the DJ Folding Bike Step Thru handlebar, it is important to tighten all the bolts using the wrench provided. This ensures the handlebar is in sync with the wheels and will move in the same direction. The steps for assembling the handlebar are as follows:

As seen in the picture below, put the stem into position. Then, close the Quick Release as tightly as possible.
Check the DJ Folding Bike Step Thru Handlebar Quick Release device, and ensure this device is closed tightly.
Place the handlebar as shown below. Close the Quick Release as tightly as possible.

Assemble the front wheels

For your safety, when assembling the DJ Folding Bike Step Thru front wheel, ensure the Quick Release Lever is fully adjusted. Closely follow these installation steps. Failure to properly install may cause the front wheel to wobble.

Safely insert the Quick Release Lever into the wheel axle. Ensure the black nut is on the disc side of the wheel.
Place the Quick Release Lever in the open position, then install the Quick Release Lever with the front wheel into the fork. There should be one spring on each side.
Tighten the Quick Release Lever by hand. When in a closed position, ensure the Quick Release Lever is not loose and does not touch the frame or fork. This should be avoided because it will cause the wheel to slow down and damage it over time.

Assemble the pedals

The pedals have opposite thread directions and must go on a specific side of the bike. When assembling the pedals, note the Left Pedal (L), needs to be turned counter-clockwise to be tied in, while the Right Pedal (R), needs to be turned clockwise to be tied in.

Install the Right Pedal to the chain sprocket side of the bike and the Left Pedal to the opposite side (same side as the battery key). Start the pedal threads into the crank arm threads by hand, then complete by securely tightening with a wrench.

Seat Installation

For your convenience and safety, the DJ Folding Bike Step Thru seat can be adjusted to fit your body height. Follow these steps:

With the Seat Quick Release opened, install the seat post to the seat tube
After you have adjusted the seat height for your convenience, firmly tighten the Quick Release Lever.
Lift the Quick Release Lever up to the locked position.

You can also change the seat position, incline angle and direction by loosening the bolt between the seat and seat post.

Install Fender and Headlight

For your convenience and safety, the DJ Folding Bike Step Thru comes equipped with a front light and fender.

Locate the fender hardware. Attach both the fender and headlight to the upper mount in the order, as per the photo: washer, headlight, fork, fender, washer then locknut.

Note: If the fender is rubbing on the wheel, loosen the upper mount and adjust the slotted mount to clear the tire. If the fender is rubbing on the side, the metal stay can be bent as needed to clear it.

Secure folding mechanism

Secure the folding mechanisms. Check that the central frame hinge is latched and securely locked. Use caution to keep fingers, clothing, etc. away from the folding parts and potential pinch points. Always check the frame folding mechanism latch and handlebar folding mechanism latch are locked before moving or riding the bike.

To fold the bike:

Stand at the left side of the bike and ensure the cranks (see parts diagram) are parallel to the ground, so that the left crank is pointed forward and the right crank is pointed toward the back of the bike.

Open the frame hinge. Fold the frame hinge quick release lever down, so it is in line with the quick release lever axle (parallel to the ground).

Swing the frame hinge quick release lever to the right, so it is perpendicular to the bike frame (90 ° angle).

Pull directly upward on the frame hinge quick release lever to unlock the hinge pin and at the same time begin folding the hinge open. Once the hinge pin is clear of the hinge, release the lever.

Turn the front wheel slightly left and fold until both wheels are side by side. Rest the bike on the frame stand under the cranks.

Move the bike by tilting it onto the front wheel. Do not roll the bike on its back wheel.

Check tire pressure

Using a hand pump, fill the tires with air to the rating on the sidewall. We recommend a hand pump to avoid over inflating the tires. Note that PSI is the unit of pressure in pounds per square inch (PSI).

Final Checklist

After following these steps, you are ready for your first bike ride. For your safety, please check the following after each bike ride.

The battery is connected, locked and has enough charge
All the nuts and bolts are properly tightened. Ensure the front wheel turns with the handlebar
The front and rear wheels are firmly secured to the frame of the bike and the levers are tight.
You have the recommended tire pressure
The brakes are adjusted and functioning properly
The seat is firm and locked, and cannot be moved after the Quick Release Lever is closed
In accordance with the law and for your safety, always wear a helmet when riding this bike.

OPERATIONAL INSTRUCTIONS

Operational Control List

The following parts on the handlebar will help you understand how to safely operate this bike:

Display buttons: The buttons such as “MODE”, “UP” and “DOWN” enable you adjust settings on the LCD display for your safety and convenience.

Bell: This is a very important safety device. It enables you to alert other bike users, pedestrians and anyone else you are nearby.

Display: Gives useful information about the working condition of the DJ Folding Bike Step Thru, such as the amount of charge you have left on your battery, and the speed. It also lets you know when something is wrong with this bike.

Shift: Allows you to safely change the mechanical gears on your electric bike.

Throttle: Allows you to increase and reduce your speed when necessary.

Electric Power (Turn On)

WARNING: DO NOT illuminate the King Meter® if you are NOT on the bike and ready to ride forwards. This avoids false starts and crashes!

WARNING: ALWAYS REMEMBER to hold a brake lever depressed firmly when getting on and off the bike SO THE BRAKE LEVER KILL SWITCH can stop the electrical flow to the motor. This avoids false starts and crashes! This will help reduce accidents caused by pressing the thumb throttle accidentally or initiating the pedal assist before you are ready to ride.

WARNING: Always turn the key “OFF” immediately after you dismount from the bike.

When the key on the battery is in the “ON” position, you have successfully turned the power on the battery. To deactivate the bike battery, turn the key on the battery to the “OFF” position.

If you are unable to turn the key to the “ON” position, the battery may not be properly aligned. Use your palm to physically press down the battery and ensure that there is no gap between the battery and the base. The four prongs need to fully connect to the battery.

To turn the bike motor on and illuminate the King Meter® display, hold down the centre “MODE” button until the display illuminates. The motor can be started by actuating the thumb throttle or the pedal assist (while driving).

Pedal Assist & Throttle Power Controls

Note that the pedal assist and thumb throttle operate independently of each other. You need not engage the throttle to use pedal assist. Conversely, the throttle can be engaged even when pedal assist is set to zero. Engaging the brakes cuts the power to the motor using either mechanism.

This is a very important control on the DJ Folding Bike Step Thru that regulates the output power of the motor of the pedal assist. When the power is on and the King Meter® display is illuminated, pressing the UP or DOWN buttons will change the output power of the motor for the pedal assist, or turn off the pedal assist completely (set assist to “ASSIST 0”).

The pedal assist power ranges from Level 1 to 5. The motor will begin to supply power by turning the pedals at Level 1, which is the minimum speed limit (20%), while Level 5 is the maximum speed (100%). The default speed level of the DJ Folding Bike Step Thru, when the KingMeter® is started, is Level 1. When the “ASSIST” is set to “0”, no power will be supplied from the motor by pedalling. Use this mode when you want to ride the bike without any pedal assist.

The thumb throttle allows you to immediately increase the power to the motor with the touch of your thumb, like the throttle on a motorcycle. Increasing pressure on the thumb throttle will increase the power and speed. The “ASSIST” settings (Level 0 to 5) will not adjust the power to the thumb throttle, but is always available for you to adjust the motor power.

Pedal Assist & Throttle Power Controls

Walk Mode

This also referred to as the “Walk Mode”. In this mode, the DJ Folding Bike Step Thru will travel at a uniform speed. To activate this mode, press the “DOWN” button. Do not ride this bike with the Cruise control or Walk mode, as this might cause system failure. This should only be used when you are “walking” the bike.

King Meter® Display Configuration/Settings

The instructions below explain how to configure the various settings of the King Meter® of the DJ Folding Bike Step Thru. Note that you do not need to configure the King Meter® to operate the bike.

To activate the settings on the DJ Folding Bike Step Thru, press the “MODE” button, which will start the LCD display. After this step, you need to hold down the “UP” and “DOWN” buttons together for three seconds. You are now in the “Settings” phase, and can make adjustments for your convenience. If at any point you want to exit this phase, press the “MODE” button for more than two seconds; this saves your current settings and exits the Settings phase. However, pressing the “MODE” button for up to two seconds confirms the current setting. The different settings are explained below in a sequential format, from the top to the bottom.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Off-road riding requires close attention and specific skills, and presents variable conditions and hazards. Wear appropriate safety gear and don’t ride alone in remote areas. Check local rules and regulations about whether off- road e-bike riding is allowed.

Wet Weather:

Riding in wet weather is not recommended if avoidable. If you must ride in wet weather, take extra care, and pay attention to the following:

Before riding, check whether the various functions of the e-bike work normally, especially the brakes.
Decrease riding speed to help you control the bike in slippery conditions.
Brake earlier since it will take longer to slow than when operated in dry conditions.
Take care to be more visible to others on the road. Wear reflective clothing and use approved safety lights
Road hazards are more difficult to see when wet. Proceed with caution.

Night Riding:

It is not recommended to ride at night if avoidable. If you must ride at night, please pay attention to the following:

Wear reflective and light-colored clothing.
Slow down and use familiar roads with street lighting, if possible.
Ensure tire wall, pedal, and other reflectors are installed and unobstructed.
Ensure the bike is equipped with head and tail lights and works properly.

General Operating Rules:

Ride predictably, in a straight line, and with the flow of traffic. Never ride against traffic.
Concentrate on the path ahead. Avoid potholes, gravel, wet or oily roads, wet leaves, curbs, train tracks, speed bumps, drain gates, thorns, broken glass, and other obstacles, hazards, and puncture risks.
When braking, apply the rear brake first (right), then the front brake (left). If brakes are not correctly applied, they may lock up, you may lose control, and there is a risk of falling.
When the gear shifter is on 1, it will be easier for pedaling, but the speed will be slower. The shifter can be adjusted to 1 when climbing uphill.
When the gear shifter is on 7, it will bring a faster speed when you add more effort for pedaling. On a flat road, the gear shifter can be adjusted to 7 to obtain a faster speed.

SAFETY

When using this product, basic precautions should always be followed. This includes (a) reading this manual; (b) closely supervising children when assembling or riding the bike; (c) not putting fingers or hands into the e-bike components; and (d) not using the e-bike if the power cord or output cable are frayed, have broken insulation, or show any other signs of damage.

Riders must have the physical coordination, reaction time and mental capability to ride and manage traffic, road conditions, and sudden changes to the riding environment, and respect the laws governing bicycle use where they ride, regardless of age. If you have an impairment or disability such as a visual impairment, hearing impairment, physical impairment, cognitive/language impairment, or a seizure disorder, consult your physician before riding any bicycle.

Ensure the e-bike is the correct size for its rider. See the “geometry” for each model of DJ Bike on our website (www.dj-ebikes.com). Especially, note that there must be at least one inch of clearance between: (a) the measurement between the e-bike’s top bar and the ground; and (b) the rider’s inseam measurement from the top of the groin to the ground.

Helmet: you must wear a helmet that meets UL (Underwriters Laboratories) or other safety standards while riding this DJ Folding Bike Step Thru.

Mechanical Safety Check: check the condition of your Bike before every ride. Make sure no nuts, bolts or fixing are loose, with particular attention to the axle nuts and handlebar stem. Make sure the tires are correctly inflated with the recommended air pressure (located on the side wall of every tire. Check the brakes for proper operation. We highly recommend you take your e-bike to be serviced and checked by a qualified bike mechanic before 100 miles (161 kilometers) of riding. This is a standard good practice for any new bike as cables will stretch, and components will “bed in”. The service must include spokes tension for both front and rear wheels.

Your First Ride: when you buckle on your helmet and go for your first ride, be sure to pick an area away from cars, other cyclists, obstacles, or other hazards to become familiar with the controls, features, and performance of your e-bike.

Additional Passengers : the e-bikes are designed for one passenger only. Do not carry any additional passengers on the front or rear of the bike.

Weight Capacity: DJ Bikes are designed with a maximum weight capacity of 275 pounds for all models (including anything being pulled or carried on the rack(s)). Exceeding the maximum weight capacity can result in damage to the motor and battery, and can lead to serious injury.

Tires & Wheels: keep your tires properly inflated (see “Mechanical Safety Check” above). Check inflation by putting one hand on the saddle, one on the intersection of the handlebars and stem, then bouncing your weight on the bike while looking at tire deflection. Adjust if necessary. Then spin each wheel slowly and look for cuts in the tread and sidewall. Patch or replace damaged tires before riding the bike. When spinning your wheels, check for brake clearance and side-to side wobble. If a wheel wobbles side-to-side even slightly, or rubs against or hits the brake pads, take the bike to a qualified bike shop to have the wheel trued.

MAINTENANCE

See DJ’s YouTube slide show here: https://youtu.be/1o1qODXS6Pw. To summarize:

Regularly check the significant touch point bolts for tightness – handlebars, seat rails, wheels, etc. If any of these come off while riding, it can be dangerous. Riding with loose bolts can be an expensive and inconvenient repair.
Lube your chain regularly, with an appropriate lubrication product (obtained from your local bike shop or sporting goods store – avoid WD40 unless it is the product specific to bikes).
Check tire pressure at least once a week. Pump up to the recommended pressures (imprinted on the tires) if needed.
Clean your e-bike with a regular hose and/or bucket and soft brush. Avoid high pressure water systems as you don’t want to get water in the electronic areas. For more tips, see our Knowledge Base article here: https://dj-ebikes.freshdesk.com/a/solutions/articles/66000477796.
Wiring: be careful not to knock your wiring, particularly on things such as lights, motor cables near wheels, sensor cables, etc.
Batteries: see our YouTube slide show (https://youtu.be/bODGt7ZDTsk) and blog post (https://dj-ebikes.com/blogs/news/tips-for-battery-maintenance) on battery care and safety. Be careful when sliding your battery in and out to prevent bending any battery plate nodes.

The next best thing you can do for your e-bike is to get it serviced regularly by a skilled mechanic, preferably one with experience working on electric bikes. Find or avoid problems before they happen.

WARNING: Risk of Fire – No User Serviceable Parts

PARKING, STORAGE, AND TRANSPORT

Please follow these tips to ensure your e-bike is well cared for when you’re not using it.

Parking and Storage

Park in accordance with local rules and regulations, especially if you’re in a public place.
Park indoors whenever possible. If you must park outdoors in rain or wet conditions, do not do so for an extended period of time, and afterward park in a dry location to allow the bike systems to dry out. When any bike is exposed to wet conditions, it will need a more frequent maintenance schedule to prevent rust and corrosion and to ensure all systems work safely.
Avoid parking or storing your bike in direct sunlight, which can cause damage to the display.
Do not park or store your bike in excessive heat, such as inside of a parked car on a hot day. Always store your bike within this temperature range: -20°C to 60°C (-4°F to 140°F).
Switch the power and any lights off to conserve battery power. Remove the key from the bike and ensure the battery is locked to the frame or use the key to remove the battery and bring it with you for security.
Register your bike with BikeIndex, 529 Garage, or a regional bike registry (ask your local bike shop for recommendations) to increase the chance you’ll get your bike back in the unfortunate event it’s stolen, and lock up your bike to reduce risk of theft. See our blog post on preventing bike theft: https://dj-ebikes.com/blogs/news/preventing-bike-theft

Transporting

When pushing or carrying the bike, turn off the power to avoid accidental acceleration from the motor, e.g. by mistakenly twisting the throttle. Another option is to keep the bike powered on and use “walk mode.”
Only use racks (i.e., a bike rack for your car or other vehicle) designed for the size and weight of your ebike. Pay particular attention to whether the rack can accommodate the width of your ebike tires.
When carrying your ebike on a rack for transport, remove the battery, and place/wrap it securely inside your vehicle, making sure it can’t roll around and that its plugs and contacts are protected. This will reduce the weight of the bike, make lifting and loading it easier, and keeps your battery safer.
Do not leave a battery in direct sunlight or any location that is or may become excessively hot or cold, like a parked car, for extended periods.
Before using public transportation (buses, trains, etc.) to transport your e-bike, check with the relevant transportation authority for any rules that might pertain to e-bikes, including rules governing weight limits, tire widths, lithium-ion batteries, etc.
Avoid transporting bike(s) on a vehicle rack during rain, which may cause water damage to the electrical components.
