A red lamp on the charger indicates the battery is charging, when this turns green the battery is fully charged. Please disconnect from the mains after charging. Always disconnect the charger from the mains before disconnecting from the battery. It is possible that the battery will take up to 6 hours to charge on the first three charges.

Water and your electric bicycle

1. Your electric bicycle is rain and splashproof and can be used in all weather.
2. The electrical components of the vehicle, such as the motor, battery, and controller, must not be submerged in water.

Maintenance and adjustments

1. Do not attempt to open the casing of the battery, motor, or regulator or all warranties will become void. If you experience a problem contact our service department.
2. Wheel spokes should be adjusted after 6 months. Handlebar and saddle tubes should never be on the nuts positioning the handlebar, handlebar vertical tube, bicycle saddle, saddle tube, and front wheels is 18NM. The minimum torque on the nuts on the pedal bearing axle and rear wheel is 30NM.
3. If the chain becomes loose or frequently comes off the front cog, you can easily adjust the chain tension by loosening the rear axle nuts slightly and adjusting the tension bolts. Make sure that the chain runs freely and re-tighten the axle nuts.
4. The brake levers should lock the wheels when compressed halfway between their open position and touching the handlebars. When the need adjusting use the following methods:
   • Front brake: Loosen the nuts and the cable clamp, then tension or release the steel cable, until the gap between the wheel and brake rubber is 1.5 to 2.0 mm.
   • Rear brake: Loosen the nuts on the cable clamp, then tension or release the steel cable until you can feel the brake lever’s motion is fluid and does not lock the back wheel until it is in the correct position.
   • Warning: Braking distances increase on wet or icy roads.
5. Regularly lubricate the gears and chain with light oil and the brake bushes (not the rubber brake shoes) with a little grease.

Operating Vermont

Shifters

• The Vermont 48V has quick-shift, Shimano shifters. These will increase or decrease the manual difficulty of the bike. By pressing in the plus (+) button, you will move the chain to a harder gear making it more difficult to pedal however increasing the speed and decreasing the amount of revolutions required to travel. Higher gears are recommended when going down hills or straight flats.
• By pushing the Minus ( – ) lever away from you, you will decrease the gear that you are on making it easier for you to pedal but decreasing maximum speed and increasing how many cycles you need to pedal to travel. Lower gears are recommended when going up steep hills.

Display

On the left, you have 4 buttons:

• Plus button: Increase the level of pedal assist. Maximum of 6. The higher level of pedal assist the less amount of manual energy is required to get to pedal the bike.
• Power button: Turns on and off the bike when held for 2 seconds. This only works provided that the battery is in place and the ignition is set to on. If pressed without being held will turn on and off the back lit display.
• Set Button: Used for diagnostic purposes only
• Minus button: Decrease the level of pedal assist. Minimum of 0. If set to 0 the motor will not engage while pedaling only when using the throttle.

On the display you have the following from top to bottom:

• Your current speed
• The current level of pedal assist
• The battery level
• The number of kilometers you have traveled on the last trip
• The total amount of kilometers traveled.

Battery
The battery can be charged both in the Vermont 48V as well as outside of it. The charging port cover needs to be pushed to the side to expose the port (Circle with 3 Prongs). When putting keys into the keyhole, you must push in and turn clockwise to engage the battery lock, then once more to turn on the ignition. Once the ignition is turned on, you may use the power button on top of the battery to quickly check the battery life.

To remove the battery from the unit simply turn counterclockwise once, push in and turn counter-clockwise a second time, and then pull up from the handle (You may need to remove the seat first to do this )

Throttle
On the right handlebar, you will find a throttle. By twisting this throttle towards you, you can have the motor engage without pedal-ing. The more you twist it the more power will be given to the motor.

Kill Switch
The red button on the throttle is the kill switch. When this is pressed in, the motor and throttle will provide a boost provided everything is turned on. When it is out the motor will not give any power.
