Riding

• Cycling involves risk of personal injury and damage of the bike, you should assume the responsibility for that risk. For your safety, please follow the cycling rules with properly using the bike, as well as regularly carry out the maintenance, which can reduce the risk of injury. This user manual contains warnings and precautions concerning the consequences of failure to maintain or inspect your bike, and of failure to follow safe cycling practices.
• As with all mechanical components, electric bicycles are subject to wear and high stress. Different materials and components may react to wear or stress fatigue in different ways. If a component’s service life has passed, it may suddenly fail and cause personal injury. Any cracks, scratches, or color change in the high-stress areas indicate that the component’s service life has passed and should be replaced. If there was any impact on the bicycle due to a collision, it is recommended to immediately go to an official dealer for inspection and maintenance. The user may not be able to see the damage caused by impact on the components made of composite materials, which may result in a second accident and personal injury.

1. Check the front and rear brakes before use, and adjust them if necessary. The front brake is controlled by the left brake lever and the rear brake is controlled by the right brake lever. After properly adjusting the brakes, the bicycle should brake reliably when pulling both the left and the right brake lever halfway. When the brake pads are worn excessively, they must be replaced in time.
2. Check whether the chain is properly lubricated before using the bicycle. Turn the pedal by hand and check whether the chain links move smoothly and are corrosion-free. If the chain is corrosive or frozen, add an appropriate amount of lubricant, or replace the chain if necessary.
3. Before riding the bicycle, check the tire pressure, the handle bar movement, the rotation of the front and rear wheel, the electrical circuit, the battery level and the working condition of the motor, as well as the lights, bell, and fasteners.

(1) Low tire pressure will increase the friction between the tire and the road surface. This will increase the tire’s wear and thus reduce its total mileage. It will also negatively affect the bicycle’s handling and steering, and thereby reducing comfort and safety. If the tire pressure is too low, immediately inflate the tires. The recommended tire pressure is 40–65 PSI.
(2) If the handle bar is stuck or does not turn smoothly, it should be adjusted or lubricated in time. Use calcium-based or lithium-based grease as a lubricant. First loosen the front fork’s locknut, then turn the front fork’s upper block. Once it is adjusted as preferred, tighten the front fork’s locknut.
(3) If the front and rear wheel do not rotate smoothly due to friction, the bicycle’s power consumption will increase and its mileage will reduce. To prevent failure, make sure the bicycle is lubricated and maintained in a timely manner. Use calcium-based or lithium-based grease as a lubricant. If the hub fails, replace the bearings or the complete hub. If the motor fails, it must be repaired by an authorized dealer.
(4) Power on the bicycle when checking the electrical circuit for continuity. Check whether all connectors are firmly plugged in and all fuses are working normally. In particular, check whether the output of the battery terminals is optimal and whether the wiring harness is properly connected to the battery. Solve any issues in a timely manner.
(5) Before riding, check whether the battery level is sufficient for the expected mileage. If the battery level is insufficient, please supplement by pedaling the bicycle so as to avoid battery undervoltage.
(6) Before riding, check whether the motor works properly. Start the motor and adjust its speed to visually inspect and listen to the motor. If there is any unusual behavior, it should be repaired in a timely manner.
(7) Before riding, check whether the lights and bell are working properly, especially when riding at night. The front light is supposed to be bright and its light beam should fall in a range of 5–10 meters in front of the bicycle. The bell is supposed to ring loudly, and the dashboard should work normally.
(8) Before riding, check whether all parts are properly fastened. For example, the handle bar, handle post, saddle, seat post, front wheel, rear wheel, crank axle, locknut, and pedals. If any part is loose or lost, it should be tightened or replaced immediately. The recommended torque specifications are: Handle post 18–20 N·m, saddle18–25 N·m, Handle bar 6–8 N·m, Rear wheel 35–45 N·m, Crank axle nut 35–50 N·m, Pedals 35–45 N·m.

• As with other sports, bicycling involves risk of personal injury and damage of the bike. By choosing to ride a bike, you assume the responsibility for that risk, so you need to know and to practice the rules of safe and responsible riding and of proper use and maintenance. Proper use and maintenance of your bike reduces risk of injury.
• The combination of the ⚠ safety alert symbol and the word WARNING indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in serious injury or death.
• The combination of the ⚠ safety alert symbol and the word CAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury, or is an alert against unsafe practices.
• The word CAUTION used without the safety alert symbol indicates a situation which, if not avoided, could result in serious damage to the bike or the voiding of your warranty.
• Many of the warnings and precautions say “you may lose control and fall”. Since any fall can result in serious injury or even death, these warning of possible injury or death will not always be mentioned.
• Please read the warning message on the handle bar: Before each ride, make sure the handle post hinge is properly tightened and safely secured.
•  Since it is not possible to predict every situation or condition that may occur during cycling, this user manual does not represent a safe use of the bike in all situations. There are risks associated with the use of any bike which cannot be predicted or avoided, and which are the sole responsibility of the rider.
• Additional safety, performance and service information for specific components such as suspension or pedals on your bike, or for accessories such as helmets or lights that you purchase, may also be available. Make sure you are informed all the details of the manufacturers that was included with your bike or accessories.
• If you have any questions, consult with the bike shop or the manufacturer for the detailed information.
• You may ride the bike only after you have carefully read this manual and are familiar with the product performance.
• Untrained individual is not allowed to use this product.
• Before riding, check the voltage meter cable, buttons, and data display.
• Before riding, check the tire pressure (recommended: 40 – 65 PSI).
• Wear a helmet when riding and comply with traffic regulations.
• This bicycle is suitable for riding on paved urban roads. It is not recommended to ride it on other terrains to avoid danger.

Storage and maintenance

• It is recommended to use warm water and a sponge to clean the bicycle. When using special cleaning products, please pay attention to the product’s instructions. Do not use acid, lubricating oil, high-temperature grease, brake cleaner, or other harsh cleaning products to clean the bicycle.

• Do not clean the bicycle with high water pressure so as to avoid short-circuiting the electrical system.

• Recommended maintenance interval: at least annually after the first 100 miles. Please check the integrity and condition of the tires and rims, adjust the brake lines and check the chain drive. Please carefully check whether the following parts are torqued properly: handle post, saddle, seat post, front wheel, rear wheel, crank axle nut, pedals.
  After 200 to 400 miles, please check the brake pads, chain, sprockets, and rims for wear an tear. Furthermore, make sure that any bolted parts are properly tightened.
  After every 700 miles, carry out a major maintenance to repair, disassemble, inspect, clean, and apply lubricating oil. It is recommended to replace consumable parts such as hubs, pedals, brakes, and gears every 700 miles.

• When the bicycle comes into contact with water, especially the meltwater with salt in (In winter, many cities spread road with salt after snowing to prevent roads from freezing over), clean the bicycle in a timely manner so as to avoid corrosion of metal parts and aging of painted parts. After the bicycle is used for a period of time, it should be inspected and adjusted as per the instructions in the user manual. Tightening and lubrication are essential. Check whether any parts are loose, and make sure the chain drive moves smoothly. After lubricating the chain, wipe off any excess lubricant. Add a small amount of lubricating oil on the flywheel. The tires must be inflated to the correct tire pressure so as not to affect the riding comfort and safety as well as the service life of the tires. The brakes must be inspected frequently to guarantee the rider’s safety. If any issues occur, immediately carry out the required adjustment or repair.

• After riding, store the bike in a place away from direct sunlight and rain.

• Regularly check the belt. If it is worn, replace the belt.

• Regularly check the screws and connections to ensure all parts are securely installed.

• Recommended torque (Unit: N·m): 6 – 8 for handle bar screws; 17.5 – 20 for handle post screws; 17.5 – 25 for saddle screws; 32 – 45 for wheel nuts.

• Typical tension on a chain is roughly 2 cm, when pressing on the chain from the top and from the bottom. If the movement exceeds 2 cm, adjust the tension or contact the dealer.

• When the motor is not running, try to clean the dust and grease on the surface. Keep the motor clean and prevent oil and water from entering in it. Do not spray water directly on the motor.

• Check the completeness of the motor leading-out. If the motor overheats, emits an odor, smokes, makes strange sound, or has any fault, stop using immediately and contact the dealer. Do not attempt to disassemble the motor by yourself.

• Do not attempt to alter the voltage meter by yourself.

• Do not replace components with non-genuine parts, especially safety-critical components of the brake system.

• The rims are consumable parts. If a rim is deformed, broken, or damaged, it should be replaced immediately. After the rim has been used for a certain period of time, the braking surface of the rims will gradually wear. Once the surface is flush with the rim wear indicator (a black groove ), the rim should be replaced immediately. The function of the spokes is to connect the hub to the rim and maintain a certain tension. The spoke tension affects the bicycle’s capability to move forward. Please regularly inspect the spokes.

• Users can prepare consumable spare parts such as tubes, tires, and brake pads.
  However, due to the complexity of the electrical circuit, it is not recommended to replace any of its parts by yourself.

• It is not recommended to install non-genuine accessories such as child seats and luggage racks. This bicycle does not have a trailer connection. Please do not install an external trailer. Damage to the bicycle or personal injuries caused by installed non-genuine accessories is the sole responsibility of the user.

• Any replacement, addition or removal of accessories that impact the performance of the bicycle is deemed as a modification, including but not limited to replacement of the motor, installation of external batteries, hacking into on-board computer or modification of data. Modifications to the bicycle must only be made in accordance with local traffic regulations. Please note that you are no longer entitled to free after-sales service, if any modifications are made to the bicycle.
