Your bike has been pre-assembled and requires only a few simple steps to get it ready for you to ride:
1 Remove the outside carton after cutting the nylon bands and lift off the entire box from the tray at the bottom. Carefully remove your bike from the bottom tray and gently rest it in place with the kickstand down.
2 Remove all of the inside cardboard protection and bubble wrap.
3 Please locate and set aside the kit box containing the battery charger, pedals, and tool kit.
4 The handlebar must be adjusted for height and alignment. Remove the rubber protective cap and insert the handlebar stem into the frame of the bicycle (Figures 1 & 2).
5 With the 6 mm allen wrench provided in the tool kit, tighten the screw on top of the stem underneath the rubber protective cap to secure the handlebar in place. Make sure the handlebar is aligned with the front wheel before tightening and that the stem is not set above the maximum height indicator.

6 Insert the thru axle into the fork dropouts and wheel hub from the drive side (right side) of the bike. Tighten the thru axle clockwise until it is snug against the fork leg and close the lever to secure the wheel. The lever should take medium pressure to close; to increase the tension, tighten the thru axle one click at a time with a 2.5 mm Allen wrench until the desired resistance is achieved.

If necessary, align the stem with the front wheel and tighten the top bolt just enough to take any play out of the headset bearings. Once the handlebars are aligned and the top bolt is snug, evenly tighten the two side bolts. Check that there is no play between the fork and frame. If necessary, loosen the two side bolts and tighten the top bolt to take out any bearing play, then re- tighten the side bolts.
Be careful to not tighten the top bolt too much as the steering will feel rigid and sluggish.

Safety
All Pedego Models
Helmet:
Always wear an approved helmet while riding your Pedego and follow the helmet manufacturer’s instructions for fit, use and care of your helmet. It is your responsibility to familiarize yourself with the laws of where you ride your Pedego and to comply with all applicable laws.
Mechanical Safety Check:
Check the condition of your Pedego before every ride. Make sure no nuts, bolts or accessories are loose, with particular attention to the front axle and handlebar stem. Make sure the tires are correctly inflated with the recommended air pressure that is located on the side wall of every tire. Check the brakes for proper operation.
You must take your bike in to be serviced and checked by a qualified bike mechanic after 100 miles (161 kilometers) of riding. This is a standard good practice for any new bike as cables will stretch and components will `break in’. The service must include spoke tensioning for both front and rear wheels.

Safety

23

Your First Ride:
When you buckle on your helmet and go for your first ride, be sure to pick an area away from cars, other cyclists, obstacles or other hazards in order to become familiar with the controls, features and performance of your new Pedego.
Additional Passengers:
Most Pedego models are designed for one passenger only (except for the Tandem and Stretch). DO NOT carry any additional passengers on the front or rear of the bike.
Weight Capacity:
Pedego Electric Bikes are designed with a maximum weight capacity of 250 pounds (113 kg) for most models. When bikes are equipped with the Magnesium Wheels upgrade, the weight capacity increases to 350 pounds (158 kg). Exceeding the maximum weight capacity can result in damage of the bike which can lead to serious injury. The Stretch and Tandem have a maximum weight capacity of 400 pounds (181 kg).

Additional Safety
Stretch
Getting to Know Your Cargo Bike:
Carrying a load and riding a long-wheelbase bike both require getting accustomed to. Practice maneuvering and braking on a flat, hazard and traffic- free street with and without a load before going out into the world. Carrying a seated passenger or heavy load involves risks, foremost of which can be decreased braking power and increased stopping distance.
Sitting on the Carrier Seat:
Standing, kneeling, or sitting backwards or sideways (both legs on the same side of the bike) on the carrier seat while the bike is moving or stopped can easily result in broken limbs, loss of control of the bike, destroyed rims, a destroyed bike frame, or worse. Do not use with passengers on the carrier seat unless the side skirts are attached.

24

Safety

Safety

25

Children:
The user of this product acknowledges both an understanding and an assumption of the risks involved in cycling, cycling with cargo, and cycling with a passenger. Children incapable of riding a bike on their own or under the age of 6 should not ride on the Pedego Stretch as passengers, unless it’s equipped with an approved Child Seat accessory. Children should not ride as passengers without an adult operating the Pedego Stretch. Do not use with children unless the side skirts are attached.
Use Good Judgment:
Make sure no straps are dangling where they could get caught in the wheels. No bags, boxes or any items are in a position where they could be caught in the spokes, Double check your load for security and stability. Check that your brakes are well adjusted. Check to see that your wheels are securely fastened. Check that your helmet is securely fastened. Make sure no components or frame members are cracked or broken. In general, if at any time you notice a crack or bend in your bike, stem, forks, or bars of your bicycle, stop riding immediately; take your Pedego to your local bike shop and have them inspect it.

Latch Belt Tensioner
Your Latch is equipped with a belt tensioner on the drive side (right side) rear dropout. This is to ensure proper tension on the belt is kept within a certain tolerance range. If the belt is too loose you risk the belt falling off the crank arm or skipping. If the belt is too tight you risk excessive resistance when pedaling and hub issues/ noises. The proper belt tension should be between 28-40lbs. To adjust, loosen both axle nuts so that the wheel can move freely in the dropout. To tighten, turn the locknut clockwise until you have reached the desired tension. To loosen, turn the locknut counterclockwise until you have reached the desired tension. Tighten both axle nuts affixing the wheel into the dropouts.

Front Suspension Travel & Sag Guide
A suspension fork is effective at both absorbing bump forces and helping the tire track the ground for improved traction and braking control. When in active mode, a fork will rely on “SAG” to keep the front tire in better contact with the ground during braking under most conditions. The table should be used as a general guideline.

Air Pressure
As a general guide, pump the main chamber (air spring) to a pressure equal to about 50% of your body weight for both the Interceptor Platinum and Ridge Rider, and about 70% of your body weight for the Trail Tracker. The Element Platinum and 29″ Interceptor Platinum have a coil sprung suspension fork and do not require an air pressure adjustment

Sag
Sag is a measurement of the amount of suspension fork travel with the rider stationary in their normal riding position. The Sag depends on the position and weight of the rider and should be between 15% and 30% of the fork’s max travel depending on the intended use and preferences.
Continued on next page…
Front Suspension Fork 41

The suspension is preset from the factory. Please visit your local dealer if any adjustments are needed or to purchase a suspension pump. The Avenue, Element Platinum and 29″ Interceptor Platinum coil spring preload can be adjusted to achieve the desired amount of sag. Turn the knob on the top left fork leg clockwise to increase the preload and counter-clockwise to decrease the preload.

Setting Air Pressure and Measuring Sag
1 Thread a suspension pump onto the valve until it is snug.
2 Pump the suspension fork up to the desired pressure. Never exceed the recommended maximum air pressure.

3 Attach a zip tie loosely, to the suspension fork stanchion and slide it all the way down to the fork seal. Carefully mount the bicycle and take normal riding position. Dismount the bicycle and measure the distance between the zip tie and fork seal. Check the sag measurement with the chart recommendation and adjust air pressure accordingly. Remove the zip tie and with a clean rag, wipe any grease from the stanchion prior to riding.

Gears
Avenue, Element, Boomerang, Comfort Cruiser, City Commuter, City Commuter Lite, City Commuter MidDrive, Interceptor, Stretch, Tandem, Trail Tracker, Trail Tracker Gorilla
Your Pedego is equipped with 7 speeds. The first gear is for easier and uphill pedaling, and the last gear is for maximum speed on level or downhill terrain. Change gears only while pedaling. The rear wheel contains seven chain sprockets. When the chain is around the largest sprocket, you are in 1st gear, or the lowest gear. The high gear will have the derailleur positioned so that the chain is directed around the smallest gear. Every position on the gear selector should cause a gear change. Adjustments require fine tuning and should only be made by a qualified technician.
Avoid changing gears very rapidly from first gear to the last gear or vice versa. If you change multiple gears too quickly, you could have the chain come off the front sprocket.
Gear Sensor
City Commuter Mid-Drive
The City Commuter Mid-Drive is equipped with a gear sensor that allows it’s rider to shift the bike with confidence. It accomplishes this by sensing any time the rider shifts to a different gear and momentary pausing the motor to reduce stresses on the drivetrain.

Gears
Latch & Trike
Your Pedego is equipped with a 3 speed Shimano Nexus internal hub. This system requires no derailleur, which makes for a quiet and clean experience! The shifter for the internal system is located on the left side of the handlebars. The gear ratio will enable you to ride the bicycle in any of the pedal assist modes.

3 Speed Left Hand Grip Shifter

Internal Nexus 3 Speed Hub and Bell Crank

Troubleshooting Tip
To adjust the 3 speed shifting system for smooth operation, twist the shifter into 2nd gear and look through the window on the bell crank (attached to the rear axle). The yellow mark on the shift pin should line up between the two yellow lines on the bell crank. If it is off slightly, turn the barrel adjuster at the bell crank or shifter until the yellow mark lines up between the two yellow lines.

Mechanical Disc Brakes
City Commuter Lite, Comfort Cruiser, Element, Latch, Trail Tracker 20″, Trike
Your Pedego is equipped with disc brakes for maximum reliability. Applying hand pressure to the brake levers will engage the brake pads against the brake rotor, creating friction and slowing down the wheel. The more hand pressure applied to the brake lever, the faster the bike will come to a stop.
The rear brake should always be applied before and while the front brake is applied. Applying only the front brake to slow or stop at high speeds may result in the rider being ejected from the saddle and continuing forward over the handlebars. It is best to apply even pressure to both brake levers when slowing or stopping.
Bicycles equipped with disc brakes will occasionally make a slight scraping noise when the wheels are turning without the brakes being applied. This is normal.
Make sure that the brake lever does not contact the handle bar when full hand pressure is applied (Figure 2). If so, then the brakes must be adjusted by increasing the tension on the cable.
A quick adjustment may be made by screwing or unscrewing the threaded barrel adjuster to take up any cable slack on the brake lever until brakes are fine- tuned for safe stopping (Figure 1). If the brakes are still not operating correctly, they may require further adjustment by an experienced bicycle mechanic. Note: The barrel adjusted should only be used to take up initial cable slack, not to adjust the brake pads for wear.

WARNING: · Disc brake rotors become hot during use. Do not touch or come in contact with the disc rotor shortly after use. · Wet weather will require a longer distance to stop. Brake earlier and avoid sudden stops when riding in wet conditions.

New Brakes Bed-in Procedure
New brakes will require a “bed-in” procedure prior to your first ride which will ensure the most consistent and powerful braking feel.
1 Find a safe riding area that will allow for moderate speed. Remain seated during the entire procedure for optimal results.
Important Note: Do not lock up the wheels at any point during the bed-in procedure.
2 Accelerate the bike to a moderate speed, then firmly squeeze the brake levers until you are at walking speed. Repeat this process about twenty times.
3 Accelerate the bike to a faster speed, then firmly squeeze the brake levers until you are at walking speed. Repeat this process about ten times.
4 Allow the brakes to cool down before your first ride.

Bicycles equipped with disc brakes will occasionally make a slight scraping noise when the wheels are turning without the brakes being applied. This is normal.
Make sure that the brake lever does not contact the handlebar when full hand pressure is applied (figure 2). The contact point should feel firm and solid. If the lever travels all the way to the handlebar or feels spongy, they may require service by a qualified bicycle technician.
If the brakes are still not operating correctly, they may require further adjustment by an experienced bicycle mechanic.

Battery and Charger Care
All Pedego Models
The charger will charge a fully depleted battery in 4–5 hours. The indicator light on the charger will be red / orange when battery is charging and will turn green when fully charged.
Avoid subjecting the battery to high temperatures, such as directly under the sun, for prolonged periods of time. Recharge the battery before it becomes completely discharged. Completely discharging will reduce the numbers of recharging cycles during the battery’s life and limit the capacity. Never store the battery in a discharged state. After much use, your battery’s charge-holding capacity will decrease. If you find that your battery does not hold a sufficient charge, you should contact your local dealer to order a replacement.
If the battery will not be used for an extended period of time, charge it fully and recharge it every 2 months. Store it in a cool, dry place. Your battery is engineered with precision for high capacity and a long, useful life. Do not use it to power other electrical devices. Improper use of the battery will damage the battery and shorten its useful life and may cause fire or an explosion. If you experience unusual sounds or odors coming from the charger or the battery, unplug charger immediately and contact Pedego customer service.
· Recharge battery after every use. · Do not disassemble or alter the battery or battery charger. · Do not place the battery near fire or corrosive substances. · Do not allow any liquids on or inside the battery/charger. · Do not expose the battery/charger to extreme weather conditions. · Do not operate the battery/charger if damaged. · Recharge the battery only with a charger specified by the manufacturer. · Do not use the battery/charger for any use other than its intended purpose. · Only use the battery/charger on Pedego approved products.

The lock cylinder is spring loaded and will automatically return to the “locked” position after the battery is installed, except for the Stretch which requires manually locking the battery. Take care to ensure the battery is securely locked into the bicycle before riding; if the battery is not secured with the lock, there is a risk of the battery falling out and damaging the case. Note: Always remove the battery from the bicycle when transporting on a bike rack.

Appearance Care & Maintenance
All Pedego Models
Periodically clean your Pedego electric bike with a damp cloth. Avoid spraying the Pedego with a water hose to avoid electrical issues. Store your Pedego in a dry shelter area away from direct sunlight and wet or damp environment. It is also recommended to apply chain lube (such as Tri-Flow or ProLink) to the drivetrain of your Pedego when you clean it or wipe it down to keep it in good running condition.

Monthly, clean your drivetrain and inspect chain for wear, re-apply lubricant to the chain and wipe off any excess with a rag. Check wheels for loose spokes; tighten if necessary. Check the tightness of stationary and moving parts; such as the crank arms and pedals, stem bolts, axle nuts, etc. Inspect your braking system, both levers and calipers to ensure safety while riding. Replace damaged or worn parts; such as cables and brake pads.

Annually, bring your bike to your local Pedego dealer for a tune up and safety check. The Pedego mechanic will inspect all areas of your bike, making necessary adjustments, re-lube and tune the components, and replace any worn or broken parts that inhibit function or safety.

Troubleshooting

Pedego Electric Bike FAQs
Q. How long does it take to fully charge the battery?
A. Depends on the state of discharge but around 4-5 hours if completely discharged.
Q. What are the running costs for a Pedego electric bike?
A. You will have no worries about rising fuel prices at the pumps. All our electrically powered vehicles use household electricity. The average cost per full charge is about 10 cents per charge. If you charge the battery every single day for a year, it would cost you about $35 per year.
Q. Can I ride up hills and against strong headwinds on my Pedego electric bike?
A. Yes. One of the main advantages of cycling on a Pedego electric bicycle is that it flattens hills and increases your average speed when tackling inclines and headwinds. If you provide a reasonable amount of effort, you should be able to tackle anything from a 1 in 10 (10%) gradient up to a 1 in 7 (14%) gradient. You will be amazed at the relative ease that your new Pedego electric bike can tackle some of the most arduous journeys.
Q. Do I need a driver’s license, insurance or registration?
A. No, you don’t. According to Federal law, electric bikes that are 750 watts or less are classified as bicycles. For all intents and purposes, it’s simply a bicycle that requires very little pedaling to travel 20 MPH (32 Km/H), saving you time and hassle. Check your local state laws for requirements.
Q. Do I need to pedal an electric bike?
A. No, but it helps to prolong battery life. The motor on our bikes is both throttle and pedal assist controlled, allowing you to decide how much power you desire. Have you ever tried to cycle when speeding downhill on your normal bicycle? It’s just like that. The motor is propelling you faster than you’re cycling so there is pretty much no resistance, it’s merely a formality!
Q. What happens if I get a flat tire?
A. The tires on our bikes are the same as conventional bicycles. Simply replace the tube with a tube of the right size and inflate it. No special tires or parts will be needed.

FAQs

73

Q. What happens when I use the brakes under powered assistance?
A. All our bikes are equipped with brake levers that have a built-in safety switch that automatically cuts off the motor power under normal braking conditions. This not only ensures a safe un-powered stopping feature, but also protects the motor under braking conditions so that it isn’t working against the brakes.
Q. How far will a Pedego take me?
A. This all depends on a few factors. Cycling with pedal assist along a straight road under normal conditions, the standard battery should last about 15-30 miles (24 – 48 kilometers). Cycling up steep hills will obviously take more energy out of the battery and factors such as road surface, wind resistance, weight of the rider and tire pressure will affect your range. Longer range battery is also available.
Q. How do I know when the battery is low?
A. The bicycles have easily visible indicators located on the meters that show the amount of juice left. If it is getting low and you don’t think you will make it to your destination, you can switch off your motor and keep it just for the difficult bits.
Q. Do I have to wait for the battery to empty before I charge it?
A. No. The batteries we use are Lithium-ion batteries which do not suffer from `memory effect’. This means that there is no need to discharge a battery completely before you recharge it again. You can partially recharge the battery at any time without reducing its voltage or lifespan. We recommend recharging the battery after every use, regardless of how far you rode.
Q. Can I put a child’s trailer on a Pedego?
A. Yes, you can certainly add a trailer to your Pedego. We suggest contacting your local dealer for approved trailers.
Q. Can I put a Pedego on a bike rack?
A. Yes, just make sure that the bike rack can hold the weight of a Pedego. We advise taking the battery off to make it easier to lift and to keep the battery safe.
