Driving Range

The range of your KBO Bike is the distance the bike will travel on a single full charge of the onboard battery pack. The range values in this manual are estimates based on expected usage characteristics. Some of the factors which affect the range include changes in elevation, speed, pavload, and acceleration, number ot starts and stops and ambient air temperatures. Tire pressure and terrain are also important variables to consider.
We suggest that you select a lower pedal assist level when you first get your KBO Bike to get to know your bike and travel routes. Once you become familiar with the range requirements of your travel routes, and the capabilities of your KBO Bike you can then adjust your riding characteristics if you desire.
‘The following table provides general estimates and outlines various factors’ effective range and their combined estimated effects on range. This table is meant to help owners understand the factors that can increase or decrease range, but KBO Bike makes no claims to the range that individual users might obtain.

Best Practices for Extending Range and Battery Life

• Do not climb hills steeper than 15% in grade.
• Pedal to assist the motor when climbing hills and accelerating from a stop.
• Avoid sudden starts and stops.
• Accelerate slowly.

Parking Storage and Transport

Please follow these basic parking, storage and transport tips to ensure your bike is well cared for on and off the road.

• When pushing the vehicle manually, turn off the power to avoid accidental acceleration from the motor.
• It is recommended to park indoors.
• Switch the power off, and any lights to conserve battery. Remove the key from the bike and ensure the battery is locked to the frame or removed and brought with you for security.
• In public places, your KBO Bike must be parked in accordance with local rules and regulations.
• If you must park outdoors in rain, or wet conditions you should only leave your KBO Bike outside for a few hours and proceed to park the bike in a dry location afterwards to allow all the systems to dry out. Much
• like a regular bike, use in wet conditions mandates a more regular maintenance schedule to ensure your bike does not become rusty, corroded and to ensure all systems are always working safely.
• Do not park, store, or transport your KBO Bike on a rack that is not designed for the size and weight of the bike.
• Locking up your bike is recommended to ensure your bike is secure and the chance of theft is reduced. KBO Bike makes no claims or recommendations on the proper lock hardware or procedures to secure your bike, but we do recommend you take the appropriate precautions to keep your KBO Bike safe from theft.
• When storing your bike or carrying your bike on a rack for transport, you can remove the battery pack to reduce the weight of the bike and make lifting and loading easier.

Basic Battery Charging Tips

• The battery should be recharged after each use. There is no memory effect, so you can charge the battery after short rides without damage.
• The battery can be recharged on or off the bike.
• Remove the battery by turning the key and then pulling the battery forward and up until the battery detaches from the mating receptacle.
• The charger will automatically stop charging when the battery pack is full.
• Always charge in dry locations and indoors away from direct sunlight, dirt or debris.
• Do not cover up the charger when plugged in or charging, it air cools and needs to be left in an open space. Do not charge with the charger in the inverted position which can inhibit cooling and reduce the charger’s life.
• Check the charger cables, charger and battery for damage before beginning each charge.
• The light on the charger will turn green when charge is complete and stay red while the battery charges.

Charging Time

When the input and output plugs of the charger are connected properly, and the battery is not fully charged, the red charging indicator light should illuminate, showing that the battery is charging. The time that the battery takes to fully charge the battery is dependent on various factors including distance traveled, riding characteristics, terrain, payload, and battery age

NOTICE : The battery pack can take longer to charge when fully depleted and when the battery is new. As your battery ages you might also experience increased charging times, but this is only expected after 3-5 years of regular use. If your battery does not seem to be charging normally, and taking longer to charge than expected, please discontinue charging and contact KBO Bike immediately.

Bicycle Care

To ensure safe riding conditions you must ensure your bike is properly maintained. You should follow these basic guidelines and see your certifiied bicycle mechanic at regular intervals to ensure your bike is safe for use.

1. Properly maintain batteries by keeping them fully charged when not in use.
2. Never immerse the bike or any components in water as the electrical system may be damaged.
3. Periodically check wiring and connectors to ensure there is no damage and the connectors are secure.
4. To clean, wipe the frame with a damp cloth soaked in a mild non-corrosive detergent mixture. Dry with a cloth.
5. Store under shelter avoid leaving it in the rain or exposed to corrosive materials. If exposed to rain, dry your bicycle afterwards and apply anti-rust treatment to chain and other unpainted steel surfaces.
6. Riding on the beach or in coastal areas exposes your bicycle to salt which is very corrosive. Wash your bicycle frequently and wipe or spray all unpainted parts with anti-rust treatment. Damage from corrosion is not covered under warranty so special care should be given to extend the life of your bike when used in coastal areas or areas with salty air or water.
7. If the hub and bottom bracket bearings have been submerged in water, they should be taken out and re-greased. This will prevent accelerated bearing deterioration.
8. If the paint has become scratched or chipped in the metal, use touch up paint to prevent rust. Clear nail polish can also be used as a preventa tive measure.
9. Regularly clean and lubricate all moving parts, tighten components and adjust as required

• Wear and tear is not covered under warranty. KBO Bike lithium-ion batteries are warranted to be free from manufacturing defects in materials and/or workmanship for a 2-year period from the date of original purchase. The battery warranty does not include damage from power surges, use of improper charger; improper maintenance or other such misuse, normal wear or water damage.

The Following are Also Excluded from the Warranty:

• Liability for material defects does not cover normal wear which occurs from the manufacturer’s intended use of the product. Components such as the battery pack, motor system, braking system, drivetrain system, saddle, grips and pedals are all subject to intended use-related wear and are not covered under the warranty from normal wear.
• Damage arising from the use of the bike in a competition or other applications outside of normal intended use.
• Damage arising by improper tools or inadequate maintenance performed on the bike.
• Damage resulting from adding non-standard equipment, parts or technical modifications.

Additional Warranty Terms

• This warranty does not cover any damage or defects resulting from failure to follow instructions in the owner’s manual, acts of God, accident, misuse, neglect, abuse, commercial use, alterations, modification, improper assembly, wear and tear, installation of parts or accessories not originally intended or compatible with the bicycle as sold, operator error, water damage, extreme riding, stunt riding, or improper follow-up maintenance. This warranty does not include consumables or normal wear and tear parts (tires, tubes, brake pads, cables and housing, grips).

Typical components affected are the tires, brake pads, suspension forks, spokes/wheels and battery pack.

• When the useful life of a component is surpassed it can cause unexpected loss of function. This can result in serious injuries or even death. Therefore, pay attention to wear characteristics such as cracks, scratches or changes in the color or operation of compo- nents which could indicate useful life has been exceeded. Worn components should be immediately replaced.
