Disconnect the battery from its power supply when a green light appears. Although the charger will trickle once the green light appears, it is not advisable to charge the battery overnight, as prolonged charging may cause irreparable damage to the battery.
Other Battery Charging and Maintenance Tips:
- Do not leave the charger plugged into the battery for long periods of time, as this can irreparably damage the battery.
- 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.
2.3. Assemble the handlebar
For your safety, when assembling the DJ Super 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:
- With the handlebar post facing front, ensure the Allen bolt on top of the handlebar is visible (if the Allen bolt is visible, skip the next step)
- If the Allen bolt on top of the handlebar is not visible, use the wrench to unscrew the bolt and turn the handlebar post 180°. The bolt should be below the handlebar
- Finally, unscrew the two bolts to place the handlebar in position, and fasten the screws tightly
2.4. Assemble the front wheels
For your safety, when assembling the DJ Super Bike Step Thru front wheel,
ensure the front hub axle is fully adjusted. Closely follow the installation
steps below. Note that failure to properly install may cause the front wheel
to wobble.
- If you are assembling the bike alone, turn the bike upside down to ensure you can install the front wheel properly and safely
- Insert the front wheel between the two suspension forks
- Insert the wheel axle through the hole at the center of the wheel
- Put washers and nuts on each side of the wheel axle as above photo sequence
- Use the Allen wrench to ensure both nuts are tightened and the front wheel is not loose.
Failing to do so may cause the wheel to slow down and damage the wheel over time
2.5. 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.
2.6. Install Fender and Headlight
For your convenience and safety, the DJ Super 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.
2.7. 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).
2.8. 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
3.1. 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
Super 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.
3.2. 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).
3.3. 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 Super 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 Super Bike Step Thru, when the King Meter® 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.
3.3.1. Walk Mode
In this mode, the DJ Super 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.
3.4. King Meter® Display Configuration/Settings
The instructions below explain how to configure the various settings of the
King Meter® of the DJ Super 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 Super 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.

between 10 km/hr to 32 km/hr. To adjust the speed on this bike, use the “UP”
and “DOWN” buttons. Once you have selected your desired speed, press the
“MODE” button.
WARNING: We do not recommend you exceed the top riding speed of <32 km/hr or <23 mph as you might be breaking local electric bike speed limits and putting yourself in personal danger which may result in prosecution, severe injury, or death. You will be fully responsible for any consequences resulting from exceeding the prescribed speed limit, and DJ Bikes will not be liable. Confirm the maximum legal speed limit from the police or any other regulatory authorities to determine the local laws and bylaws in your riding area.
3.4.3. Unit of Speed
Pressing the “MODE” button after confirming your desired speed in the previous
section will automatically direct you in selecting your preference of the unit
of speed. The DJ Super Bike Step Thru gives you an option of either the
metric, in km/hr, or imperial, in mph. Once you have selected your preference,
press the “MODE” button again.
3.4.4. Wheel Size
Pressing the “MODE” button after selecting your preferred unit of speed will
automatically direct you to setting the wheels of the DJ Super Bike Step Thru.
The default and right size of the DJ Super Bike Step Thru is 20 inches. You
can adjust the size of the wheel by using the “UP” or “DOWN” buttons, and
confirming with the “MODE” button. For your safety, it is not recommended that
you adjust the value from the default setting.

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 Super 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-toside 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 Bike Index, 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.
