Electrical Safety
Only use the charger supplied by Ride1Up and never tamper or modify the charger in any way. Do not leave the ebike or battery plugged into a wall outlet unattended. Unplug the battery before leaving the bike alone. The charger has been designed for a specific voltage and should not be tampered with in any way. Always check that the outlet’s voltage is the same as that stated on the rating label. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack; never use the charger with another ebike or attempt to charge this product with a different charger than provided.
Before use, check the charger cord for signs of damage such as exposed wires or tears in the cable lining. A damaged or entangled charger cord increases the risk of fire and electric shock. Keep the charger cord at least 6ft away from hot surfaces and sharp edges. Do not handle the charger with wet hands as it could cause death, serious personal injury, and/or property damage. Do not store or charge the ebike outdoors. The charger must be removed from the socket before removing the battery, cleaning or maintaining the ebike because this creates potential for electrical damage and/or injuries.

Brake Safety
Regularly check your brakes for signs of wear and tear and functionality such as a reduction in breaking power. Before every ride, quickly test your brakes by walking next to the ebike and engaging the brakes assuring they are properly working. Visibly check your brakes to ensure there is no damage such as cracks and breaks. Failure to do so could cause death, serious personal injury, and/or property damage.
Any worn parts must be repaired or replaced immediately. Be careful while getting used to the brakes. Never brake with only your front brake. Practice emergency stops in a place clear of traffic until you are comfortable controlling your ebike. Wet weather reduces your braking power and the grip of the brakes. Reduce your speed and be aware of longer stopping distances when cycling in wet conditions. Braking on unpaved surfaces will differ. Be sure to practice braking on different surface types. Ensure that braking

Maintenance

  • Make sure all screws, nuts and bolts are tightened securely before riding. Failure to do so could cause death, serious personal injury, and/or property damage. Many parts on your ebike are subject to a higher degree of wear due to their function and depending on their use such as brakes, tires, pedals etc. Have your ebike checked regularly at a professional bike shop and have any worn parts replaced. Depending on the level and extent of use, regularly can mean as much as once a week, and as little as twice a year. It is the rider’s/owner’s responsibility to ensure the ebike is safe to ride at all times.
  • Ensure the battery is removed from the bike before carrying out any maintenance. You must always use genuine replacement parts when performing maintenance on your ebike. Regularly check the tire pressures (See sidewall of your tire for correct psi range) and regularly check the tread depth of tires.
  • After an accident or crash you must take your ebike to a bike repair specialist to make sure that it is safe to ride. Be aware that damage may not be visible. Failure to do so could cause death, serious personal injury, property damage and/or a violation of the law.
  • Any form of crack, scratches or change of coloring in highly stressed areas indicate that the life expectancy of the part has been reached and it should be replaced immediately.

Additional Warnings

  • Routine maintenance checks are required on your ebike. Check all important connections, brake functionality, and ensure axle nuts are secured before riding. Failure to do so could cause death, serious personal injury, and/or property damage.
  • It is recommended to not ride at night when visibility conditions are low if avoidable. Riding in the dark or low visibility conditions is more dangerous than riding during the day with clear visibility. Do not ride your bike at night without properly functioning front head lights and rear taillights. Wear reflective and light- colored clothing. Failure to do so may result in serious injury and/or death. functionality, and ensure axle nuts are secured before riding. Failure to do so could cause death, serious personal injury, and/or property damage.
  • It is recommended to not ride at night when visibility conditions are low if avoidable. Riding in the dark or low visibility conditions is more dangerous than riding during the day with clear visibility.

Installation Steps: Assembling Your Bike

RIDE1UP-PRODIGYV2-Electric-Bike- \(5\)

  • Do not touch the brake pads or rotors with your fingers. The oil will contaminate them and cause noises when braking.
  • Align the disc rotor so it fits between the brake pads. Do not force it. (Figure 1)
  • Place the front wheel axle onto the fork dropouts. (Figure 2)
  • Install the quick release skewer. The narrow part of the cone springs should face inward. (Figure 3)
  • Rotate to tighten and then hand tighten the axle skewer quick release arm. Line up the disc rotor to make sure there is space on each side, so they don’t rub. Then make sure the wheel is secure. (Figure 4)

WARNING
IT IS VITAL THAT THE QUICK RELEASE HAVE BEEN TIGHTENED. IF THEY ARE NOT PROPERLY ALIGNED, THE WHEEL MAY COME OFF, CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY AND/OR DEATH.

  • Open the seat clamp and insert the seat post to or past the minimum insertion point. (Figure 5 & 6)
  • Adjust the suitable height and rotate the clamp to tighten and then shut it. (Figure 7)

Seat Clamp Assembly

  • Slide saddle into seat post clamp.
  • Using the provided hex wrenches, tighten the bolts to the torque specs marked on the seat post.
  • The seat post angle is adjustable. Ensure each bolt is correctly torqued. If left loose or over-tightened, a seat post bolt could snap.

NOTE
THE LEFT AND RIGHT PEDALS ARE UNIQUE. RIDE1UP-PRODIGYV2-Electric-Bike-
\(8\)

  • The left pedal (marked “L”) must be installed in the left crank arm. It is reverse thread, rotate counterclockwise to install and tighten.
  • Screw each pedal into a crank by hand. They should screw in easily to start. Do not force them.
  • The right pedal (marked “R”) must be installed in the right crank arm. It is standard thread, rotate clockwise to install and tighten.
  • Use a wrench no wider than the flats on pedals to finish tightening the pedals in place.

NOTE
THERE ARE TWO PEDALS INCLUDED IN THE BOX WITH YOUR BIKE. THE PEDALS SCREW INTO THE ENDS OF THE CRANKS WITHOUT EXTRA NUTS, SCREWS OR PINS. FAILURE TO USE THE CORRECT PEDAL ON THE CORRECT SIDE WILL RESULT IN A STRIPPED CRANK ARM.

Air Fork Operation
The top left of the fork crown is the air valve. Use a shock pump to reach the desired amount of stiffness or sag. DO NOT USE A BICYCLE TIRE PUMP. You may damage the air fork. The acceptable PSI range is from 40-120 PSI based on rider weight and preference. For more information, please check our support page at www.Ride1Up.com
The dial on the top right is a lockout. Turning this to the locked position will lock the fork from compressing and in this mode, it acts as a rigid fork. This is for climbing hills or riding on smoother roads.

Detailed Torque Settings

  • Saddle Clamp Bolts : refer to torque specs on seat post.
  • Crank Arms : 39nm (pre-installed).
  • Handlebar Clamp : Refer to torque specs on stem. Tighten evenly in a cross pattern so the gap at each bolt is the same.

Adjust Derailleur and Shifter (Non-Belt Version)
Rear derailleurs have 3 adjustment screws (2 are the high and low limit screw), plus the barrel adjuster at the derailleur and the barrel adjuster on the handlebars
It is critical that the low and high limit screws are properly adjusted. If they are not, the chain may come of the largest cog, into the spokes and cause permanent damage to your derailleur, derailleur hanger, motor cable, spokes, and rim. The motor is so powerful that if this happens it can quickly destroy or damage the components mentioned.
Verify your shifter and derailleur are properly adjusted. When you first assemble your bike, your derailleur may need to be tuned if you hear any noise while shifting or if it is not shifting smoothly. Or lastly, if the chain is shifting past the largest or smallest cog.
Adjusting your derailleur properly will be done best by a mechanic, however it can be accomplished by following a helpful video. Please check our support pages at www.Ride1Up.com for the latest tips and video on how to do this properly.
It is normal to need to adjust your derailleur once again after logging some miles on the bike as things settle (spring and cable tension involved in shifting).

Test and Adjust Front and Rear Brakes
After Assembly, you must test your front and rear brake. You can then adjust them as needed. How you install the front wheel and brake caliper can affect whether the disc brakes rub when first assembling. After assembly, you may need to adjust the front and rear brake. Look in line with the brake pads and slowly tighten the quick release axle while ensuring the rotor stays in the exact middle between the pads. The disc rotor is one of the most exposed malleable components during shipping. If it is bent, it can sometimes be trued (bent back) or replaced with a new disc rotor. If unsure how to properly adjust your brakes, please check our website for a recommended video. If you are unable to access our website, you should take the bike to your local bike shop for an assembly inspection and/or tune up. The bike shop will be able to inspect the bike for safety and adjust your brakes.

Ebike Basics & Care

Ebike Basics
Your Prodigy v2 ebike will arrive with an LCD display installed. The top button on the backside of the display turns on and off the bike. Simply hold the button down.

  • It is best practice, for safety, to only turn on your electric bike once you have lifted your leg over the bike and are straddling the frame. You should turn it on before you begin riding, but only once you are ready to ride.
  • It is also best to turn off the bike when you are done riding after you dismount from the seat, but before you lift your leg over the bike to get off. If you stop to look at something or talk with someone, please turn off your bike for safety.
  • Turning it on and off as described above will minimize the chance of the bike accelerating unintentionally.
  • The + button increases pedal assist and the – button decreases pedal assist and can be set to off if you press the – button when on low.
  • The headlight is turned on by holding Light Key on the bottom of the display.
  • A quick backpedal or slight engagement of the brake lever instantly stops the motor. You can adjust the sensitivity of the cadence sensor and other pedal assist settings by referring to the LCD manual. We also have videos on our website and YouTube channel guiding you through this process.

NOTE
DO NOT CHARGE YOUR BATTERY WHEN THE BATTERY’S TEMPERATURE OR THE SPACE IT IS STORED IN IS BELOW FREEZZING (32 DEGREES F).

Battery Basics & Care
NOTE: Never charge your battery when it’s temperature or the space it is stored in is below freezing. Failure to follow this rule could result in serious injury, death, and property damage.
The chargers do stop charging when the battery is fully charged. When charging your battery, do not charge near any potentially flammable material. Charge in a safe fire-resistant space. If you are storing the ebike for more than a day, do not leave it plugged in. It is best to leave it charged to 80% but unplugged. The button on the top of the battery works as a charge gauge. It is not an on-off button. When riding always plug the charger port with the rubber cover. If moisture gets in, the battery can be destroyed. Everyone is encouraged to learn a little bit more about the basics of lithium-ion battery care and proper treatment. For extended life, charge your battery to 80% and use it until it is at 20%. Depending on the charge level when plugged in, it takes 3-6 hours for the battery to fully charge when using the standard charger supplied with the bike. Charging for 1-2 hours will keep it near 80% depending on last usage. You can check the charge percentage on the display. If storing for longer periods, it is a good idea to store your battery with a 40-80% charge. Check the battery once a month. If the battery drops to 25%or lower, charge it up to 40-80%. Recommended storage temperatures are 50°-77°F and will provide the best performance out of the battery. Storage should be done in a dry area.

Battery Basics & Care

  • Fenders: If you are experiencing rubbing or rattling fenders, this can be fixed. Firstly, the front fender tab that attaches to the fork can be mounted on the back to provide more spacing, or the front for a tighter fit. The fender arms are also malleable and sometimes need to be bent with the wheel off to be centered with the wheel.
  • Bent Derailleur Hanger (Non-Belt Version ): Before your first ride, it is very important to check the alignment of the derailleur and derailleur hanger. If the derailleur hanger is bent inward, your derailleur may over shift and the chain will get caught between the motor and the cog. Since the derailleur is installed on the bike out of the box, the derailleur can become bent in transit. It is a light-weight malleable aluminum. Bent derailleur hangers can be a relatively common issue during the period of bike ownership, typically when they are impacted or while transporting the bike. The derailleur hanger can be fixed by straightening the derailleur hanger with a tool. After the hanger is straightened, the derailleur/gears can be indexed (under adjustments) to remove any additional clicking or grinding noises. If you cannot fix the derailleur hanger, new ones can be found online. Ride1Up will cover the cost to straighten your derailleur hanger or replace if necessary if it arrived bent.
  • Noise When Riding : Refer to the three issues above. Gears, fenders, and brakes are the most common sources of riding noise. Additionally, the front hub can sometimes make a squeaking noise if it does not have enough grease. Pay attention to the noises. They are usually symptomatic of a minor issue that could cause more problems later. It is best to determine what is causing the noise and resolve the issue. If you are unsure of the cause, please review our support page at www.Ride1Up.com. You can also share a clear video without wind noise to support@Ride1Up.com.

Troubleshooting Problems

Motor Not Working
One of the worst problems to experience. What needs to be done? Determine the source, or cause of the issue(s). What to look for:

  • Display Settings : Perhaps a setting was accidentally changed. Try resetting the display by conducting a factory reset. Review the display manual or display support page on www.Ride1Up.com to reset the display. Steps to complete this procedure are listed on the last page of this owner’s manual.
  • Cables : is a connection loose? Look for kinked, loose, or damaged cables. Check the quick disconnect connections, especially the one on the chain stay. Consider disconnecting them, inspecting both ends, properly aligning (ensuring the pins are not bent) them and then carefully plugging them back in.
  • Accident: After a crash or if the bike is dropped, and the motor cable is damaged where it exits the axle, the motor may no longer function. This requires replacement motor parts and a more time consuming/costly repair. Reach out to customer support if you see damage to the cable.

Kickstand
Does the bike sit too low with the kickstand? The kickstand length is adjustable. Loosen the bolt on the bike and slide to the desirable length. Check the bolt tension when first assembling as well to make sure the bolt does not rattle loose. Is there a clicking noise with the kickstand? Make sure it is parallel with the chainstay and fully tightened (8mm hex wrench). If it shifts, it will hit the crank arm when pedaling.

Charger
Green light indicates the charger is powered but not charging. Red light indicates charging. Do not charge near anything flammable or store the ebike long-term while plugged in. If you are having issues with the battery not charging, try riding the bike again, draining some battery, and try using a different outlet. Then reach out to support if the issue does not resolve.

Derailleur/Gears (Non-Belt Version)
Adjusting the gears on a bike so that there is no chain noise can be tricky for a novice. If you are not able to watch a video explaining how to index the gears, the best thing to do is to take the bike to a local bike shop for assistance. It is critical that your derailleur is properly tuned/adjusted. If it is not, when shifting into 1st gear the chain and derailleur may go into the wheel which will quickly damage it if the powerful motor is running.
