Introduction

Dear users,
Please read carefully all the information regarding your E-LF product to ensure optimal functioning of your e-bike. The following text containing a comprehensive description will provide you with information on all aspects and details (including installation, setting up and general use of the display) regarding the use of our display. This instruction document will also help you solve potential problems and failures.

What is an electric bicycle?

Electric bicycle is a conventional bicycle with an electric drive added to assist the rider. The motor function is actuated by pedalling, which is scanned by a special sensor installed in the pedal hub. Therefore, you have to keep pedalling on an e-bike, the motor is there only to help you. You can set an electric bicycle in motion also using a control button or an accelerator but only up to the maximum permitted speed of 6 KMPH (e.g. for walk assistance). The maximum speed of an e-bike with motor assistance is 25 KMPH, with a 10% tolerance (when this speed limit is reached, the motor switches off and you need to pedal just like with a regular bicycle). When your battery runs out of power or your motor is off, you can ride your electric bicycle as a conventional bike, without any resistance at all. From the point of view of the Road Traffic Act, an electric bicycle whose features conform to European standard EN 15194-1 is regarded as a regular bicycle, i.e. you can ride on bike trails, do not need a driver’s license and a helmet is mandatory only up to 18 years of age.

Description

Factors influencing the range

1. Rolling resistance of the tyres. Leader Fox e-bikes are fittet with tyres with low rolling resistance and increased resistance to puncture. It is also important that the tyres are inflated properly. Therefor, if the tyres of your electric bicycle are underinflated, the range will decrease.
2. Weight of the electric bicycle. The lower weight of the electric bicycle, the greater the range.
3. Battery status. It depends on whether the battery was fully charged before your trip. It is also to be expected that the higher the number of discharge cycles the battery has undergone, the smaller capacityit has.
4. Profile and surface of the track. The higher the elevation difference and the steeper hills you negotiate and the worse surface, the shorter the range.
5. Riding mode. It depends on which of the three riding modes you have set.
6. Continuity of riding. The more braking and acceleration, the shorter the range.
7. Air resistance. For example, it depends on whether we ride a bicycle with low frame and sitting uprightor whether we ride sporty bicycle with seat set to the same height as the handlebars.
8. Wind strength. The stronger the wind we have beck, the longer the range and vice versa.
9. Weight of the rider and load. The greater the weight, the shorter the range.
10. External temperature. The lower the temperature, the less battery capacity can be used while riding.

• KEEP the charger away from children and animals.

Charging:

The battery is the most expensive part of an electric bicycle; therefore, pay increased attention during handling, charging and storage. The battery is sensitive to precise charging. Therefore, it is necessary to charge Li-Ion rechargeable batteries using only a charger supplied by us. Connect the charger to 220-240 V power outlet. 5A protected circuit is sufficient. The charger will automatically suspend charging when full capacity of all cells is reached.

We recommend discharging the battery in full after each ride to ensure that your battery will be up to its full capacity for your next ride. Charging the battery may last 1 to 5 hours depending on the condition of the battery cells. Charge it exclusively in covered dry areas (moisture and dripping water can damage the charger) at a temperature of 5 to 40°C.

The charging process is indicated by a red glowing LED. It will turn green when the battery is charged and the charging process is complete. The battery contains a charge-monitoring indicator (when the charge indicator button is pressed, the light indicator will come on). Always switch off the battery when finished riding the bike.

Normal battery behaviour:
If the motor stops running smoothly and switches to intermittent operation, it could be a sign of low battery capacity. In that case switch off the electric drive system and continue without motor assistance, as if riding a conventional bicycle.

Battery warming is normal and does not indicate any defect. The battery is protected by a temperature sensor and switches off automatically in case of excessive overheating. Wait until the battery cools down to its normal operating temperature and then ride on.

If you feel your total battery capacity has dropped, it could be caused by charging or operation in suboptimal climatic conditions. Carry out 3 full charging cycles. Fully discharge the battery while riding and then charge to its full capacity at room temperature.
If the charge indicator shows that the battery is discharged, there is still a minimum voltage level in it which protects it against damage but is not enough to power the electric bicycle. Recharge the battery as soon as possible. Never leave the battery fully discharged, it could results in its damage.

Proper care of the battery prolongs its life.
