OPERATING SAFETY

Before riding the bike for the first time, ensure that you have read and understood this manual. Make sure you understand how to turn on and activate the pedal assist and throttle. When first riding the bike, take care to start slowly with a low level of pedal assist, Take your first ride in a safe area away from cars, other bikers, pedestrians, or other potentially dangerous obstacles. Only move up pedal assist levels when you feel comfortable and you have ample experience riding the bike. The higher pedal assist levels will accelerate you to higher speeds more quickly. Take care when riding the bike at any speed. Failure to adhere to warnings and guidelines in this manual can lead to serious harm, injury, or death. Damage sustained by the bike from failing to follow instructions, guidelines, and warnings in this manual is not covered under warranty. Do not lean on the bike when it is parked and the kickstand is in use

HELMETS AND LOCAL LAWS

Always wear a helmet when riding your e-Bike. Ensure that the helmet fits your head and is securely tightened down. Before riding, read local law and comply with all rules relating to cycling and biking in your area. If you attach a seat for children to the bike, they must also be wearing properly fitted helmets at all times.

PRE-RI DE SAFETY CH ECK AND INSPECTION

Before each ride, make sure to inspect your e-Bike to ensure there are no loose fasteners or accessories. Make sure to specifically check that both the front and rear axles are secure. Also, make sure both the handlebars and the handlebar stem are not loose. Check the tire pressure of both wheels before riding to ensure the tires are inflated to the recommended pressure printed on the side of the tire walls. Pull the brake levers to make sure your brakes are working properly and adjust if necessary. Ensure both your seat post and handlebar stem are inserted past their minimum insertion points as indicated by the markings on them.

RIDING IN WET CONDITIONS

This electric bicycle can withstand light rain and small splashes but is not designed to be subjected to inclement weather, extremely heavy showers, or submersion in water. Note: Use caution when riding in wet conditions as it will take longer to use the brakes to slow down, and also when turning as the tires may slip. The electrical components on the bike are not waterproof. The entire bike has an IP rating of 65. Water damage is not covered under warranty.

RIDING AT NIGHT

Riding at night comes with more risks than riding during the day due to decreased visibility so riders are encouraged to exercise increased caution. Before riding at night, make sure that reflectors are installed on your e-Bike. For increased visibility, also ensure the front headlight and rear tail light are turned on and adjusted such that other people on the road can see them clearly. Riders should wear bright-colored clothing at night.

MAX WEIGHT

The bike can safely carry a total weight of 180 kg. Note range and top speed will be affected by the total weight being carried by the bike. if you are over 120 kg you should lock out the suspension fork before riding.

PRE-RIDE SAFETY CHECK

Ensure all components are properly secured before riding otherwise serious harm or death could occur. This includes but is not limited to: pedals, handlebars, handlebar clamp, cranks, seat, and seat post clamp.

• Make sure you can’t twist the seat or stem out of alignment by hand.
• Check that your suspension fork is properly adjusted for the terrain and your weight. The suspension fork will affect the handling of the bike, primarily when going over bumps and stopping. ln, in some situations, it may be advantageous to lock out the suspension so it is fully rigid.
• The suspension fork can be locked out so it is rigid, and the tension is adjustable. To adjust the suspension fork use the red knob. To fully lock the suspension, turn the knob clockwise towards the “lock” direction indicated until it cannot be turned further.
• To increase the stiffness, turn the knob clockwise towards the “lock direction indicated. To make the suspension softer, turn the knob counterclockwise towards the “open” direction indicated.
• If you are over 120 kg you should lock out the suspension fork before riding.
• Ensure all cables and connectors at the front of the bike are securely connected or certain components may not work including the front light, the motor inhibitor switches, the LCD display, and the throttle. The motor inhibitor switches shut the motor off as soon as the rider hits the brakes. If these switches are not operational it will take longer to slow down which in some riding situations could cause injury or death to the rider. If you have installed any accessories make sure they do not interfere with all cables and connectors when turning the handlebars.

ELECTRIC BIKE MAINTENANCE

REGULAR CLEANING
Cleaning the bike often will help to keep dirt, dust, and debris from getting into the engine and messing with the motor. lt also helps to keep all the mechanical parts moving properly without grinding against each other or blocking the chain. E-bikes should be washed once or twice per week.
When you clean your e-bike, do not use a pressurized hose or stream of water. This might compromise the integrity of the meals around electrical equipment and wear them down, eventually leading to exposed and wet electrical systems that will then malfunction. Instead, use a low-pressure water stream or a wet rag and dry the bike off once you’re washing it.

LUBRICATION
In order to keep all the mechanics in working order, you can apply lubrication on the major moving parts such as the chain. You should use a special cleaning solution to clean off the chain before applying a bike lubricant to it. This should ideally be done at least once a week if you use the bike often.
CHECK THE BOLTS
Do a quick once-over and check for any loose screws, bolts, nuts, or anything else on the bike. If there is too much play in the bolts, tighten them up a little bit and see if you can identify the cause of the looseness. Don’t tighten the bolts too far.
TIRE PRESSURE
You can check to see what the current pressure is in the tires by using a simple pressure gauge. If its too low, or if the tires can visibly sink when you push your finger into them, you should get out your bike pump and inflate them properly to the pressure indicated on the tires.
BRAKE PADS
Take a good look at the brake pads on your bike every few weeks to see how they are holding up. it’s essential that you have effective brakes or else you could end up in a serious accident. Brake pads can easily and cheaply be replaced whenever necessary.
WATERPROOFING
The battery and motor of an e-bike are well-sealed to prevent any water damage. That doesn’t mean it’s absolutely impossible for water to get in, but with a certain level of common sense and care, you won’t need to worry. Things to avoid with an electric bike include using a jet wash and fully submerging the bike. No lake jumps then, sorry! The motor itself is in a factory-sealed unit and you should never attempt to take it apart for maintenance or to try and fix a problem.
BATTERY CARE
Charge the battery at room temperature in a dry location. To improve the life span of your battery, avoid leaving the battery fully charged or fully discharged for long periods of time. When the bike is out of use for an extended period, you can disconnect the battery.It will gradually lose charge, so still, top it up every now and again. As we’ve already said, avoid storing the bike for long periods of time with no charge – maintaining a 30 to 60 percent charge is ideal for long-term storage, according toe-bike systems manufacturers. Extreme heat and cold are the enemies of electric bike batteries. Store your e-bike battery in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight. During winter, and particularly if the temperature is below 0°C, charge and store the battery at room temperature, and re-insert the battery into the bike immediately before riding.

DISCLAIMER

Riding any kind of bicycle comes with inherent risks and dangers that cannot be predicted or avoided. These dangers could result in a serious accident, injury, or death of the rider. it is the sole responsibility of the rider to become properly educated and prepared to ride safely. Once in possession of the bike, DUOTTS strongly encourages and recommends that all customers have a certified and reputable bicycle mechanic complete a full inspection of each component on the bicycle to ensure it’s safe for operation.
