Electrical System
The electrical system on your ebike offers various levels of power assistance and lighting for different operating conditions and user preferences. It is critical that you familiarize yourself with all aspects of your ebike’s electrical system and check to see that it is working correctly before every ride. The front and rear brake levers contain safety power cutoff switches, which disable the hub motor’s assistance when applied, and both levers should be checked for correct operation. The throttle should provide smooth acceleration when gradually applied. If the throttle, brake lever cutoff switches, pedal assistance, or lighting are functioning abnormally, intermittently, or not working, please discontinue using your ebike immediately and contact the Senada Bikes Product Support team for assistance.

Quick Release Levers
Quick release levers are located on your ebike for securing the seatpost . This provide convenience to the user since they allow the seatpost to be adjusted without tools. Since quick release levers can be loosened during transportation, or accidentally between or during rides, it is important that you regularly check to ensure these components are properly secured.

Accessories, Straps, and Hardware
Ensure all hardware is secured and all approved accessories are properly attached per the specific component manufacturer’s instructions. It is good practice to look over all hardware, straps, and accessories before each ride and
