OWNER’S MANUAL

Instructions

  1. Please read the manual carefully before using the electric trike.

  2. Make sure all parts are locked tightly, such as the frame joint, driver hand pipe, seat post and pedal, etc. before using. Do not use electric trike before carefully reading the instructions and knowing about the performance of the electric bicycle. Do not lend
    the electric bicycle to anyone who does not know how to operate it.

  3. Develop a habit of charging when the power of the battery pack shows a red light. Please charge and maintain the battery pack consistently to have longer service; if the bicycle is not to be used for a long period, it is suggested that one must close the power
    of battery pack, and charge-discharge the battery once per month.

  4. Frequent braking, starting, uphill, luff, still starting, muddy and uneven ground, overloading of people and goods will assume larger electricity, thus influencing the travel mileage. If you want to get the best travel mileage, we suggest you follow the following instructions:
    Ride the bicycle to a certain speed by pedaling, and then turn on the power.
    Try to decrease the frequency of braking and starting while maintaining safe riding habits.
    Please assist with pedal when the slope angle is steep, or the wind speed is fast.

  5. When you lift the battery, please do not insert metal objects (such as lead wire, key etc.) into the charging socket or put them on the positive and negative contact point of battery cell. This can cause the battery to short-circuit, striking fire, and endangering
    personal safety.

  6. This e-bike is not intended to be ridden through water. When the water level inundates the controller, electrical circuitry or motor hub, it is possible that it will cause short circuit and damage the circuit, please pay attention to avoid burning down the electronic control system! Leave it indoors when charging or not riding.

  7. The standard load weight of this bike is 250 lbs. (including the cyclist), overloading may cause the travel mileage to decrease, or cause the spare parts of the bike damage and reduce working life of battery.

  8.  If a charger which is not specially designed by our company is used to charge the battery pack, and spare parts are used that do not match the performance of the bike, should any accident occur, our company is not responsible for it.

Hand Throttle Control

Your EMOJO electric bike is equipped with a power and throttle control which is fixed on the right hand side. To power on your bike first make sure the switch to your battery is in the ON position.
You adjust the throttle by pushing down with your thumb the paddle, the farther you push from its resting position, the more power is delivered to the motor to accelerate. When you want to slow down, you simply release the throttle and let it return to its resting
position and simultaneously apply the brakes.

When the pedal assist mode is set to “0”, the pedal assist function doe not engage, however, the throttle continues to work. The throttle control is operated on the right hand side. You control the throttle by pushing it down from its resting position. The farther the throttle switch is from its resting position, the more power is delivered to the motor to accelerate e-bike. When you want to slow down, you simply release the throttle and let it return to its resting position and simultaneously apply the brakes.

Gears
This EMOJO e-bike model 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 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.

Front wheel installation

Read the instructions carefully to identify and understand the components of the electric bicycle such as pedal, seat post etc. and the name of relevant spare parts.
When specialized servicing of bike is required, please go to an authorized EMOJO repair shop or store or another trusted bike professional.

  1. Assembly of the front wheel unit:
    Identify the nuts and washers necessary for the front axle assembly.
    Assemble the front wheel unit onto the front fork, add the washers on the front axle and the nuts (Fig A), tighten them on both sides and put the protective caps (figs.
    B and C). Attention: when assembling, make sure the disc brake and the brake caliper are on the same side (left side), the disc brake must slide into the gap between the two brake pads of the disc brake caliper, make sure the wheel turns freely and does not rub against the brake pads when the front brake is not been pressed.
    BISON CYCLO Electric Trike - Battery rail1

  2. Adjustment of Saddle:
    Adjust the saddle to the proper height. Using the socket hand wrench, lock the fixed screws on the seat post and clamp tightly. Please note that when adjusting the height of the standpipe and seat post, it has to keep the inserting depth above the safety line.
    BISON CYCLO Electric Trike - Safety Line

Disc Brakes

BISON CYCLO Electric Trike - Disc Brakes

Your EMOJO e-bike 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.
Check the front disc handle gap by depressing the brake lever about 10 times to check that everything is operating correctly (Fig. 1) If necessary you can adjust the brake by turning the dial on cable (shown with a red arrow). Your front wheel must spin free at all times without any friction from the brake when not applied.
The rear brake should always be applied before or along with the front brake. 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 handlebar when full hand pressure is applied (b) 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.

BISON CYCLO Electric Trike - Disc Brakes1

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.
    Allow the brakes to cool down before your first ride.

  4.  Pedal Installation and Adjustment:
    Take out pedals from the accessory box, install one of the pedals (pedals are marked with the letters “L” and “R” to indicate the side they belong to). When installing the pedals, insert the wrench stuck on the flat end of pedal axial head, and twist into the crank in clockwise direction.

  5. Check and Adjustment of Tire Pressure
    Keep proper air pressure, the space between tire and ground contact is about 4 inches long when riding on the electric bicycle.
    BISON CYCLO Electric Trike - Pressure
    Important Check the tire pressure before riding, inflate as necessary as per given parameter.

  6. Brake Adjustment
    A. When brake lever reaches 1/3 of unstressed state, the power will be cut out completely, when it is at 1/2, bike can brake completely.
    B. The distance between brake pad of front wheel and rim should not be more than 2mm, when the brake pads wear down, timely adjustment is possible, after adjustment, the brake pad should not interfere with other spare parts. When a worn brake pad reaches 1/2 of its thickness, it must be replaced.
    BISON CYCLO Electric Trike - Turn buckles

  7. Adjustment of Power Assisting Hall Sensor
    A: Turn the bike upside down, have it rest on the floor.
    I: The distance between the sensor and the disk shall be 3-5 millimeters
    :: Installing the sensor on the side of chain ring, when forwarding the chain ring, the power assistance is effective.

  8. The Adjustment of Chain Tension The chain can sag with use, make sure your chain is properly adjusted. A sagging or overtightened chain could cause damage to the motor.
    To manually check the tension of the chain, push up the bottom section of the chain with the hand, the range of the tension should be within 10mm from horizontal line.

Common Faults and Maintenance

Common Faults Troubleshooting

Power on, there is no indicator on meter: Push thumb throttle, the motor does not work:| Check the battery power, if battery is low, it is possible that the power will fail, or some blown fuses of the controller are burned out.
Check whether the speed controlling wire of left brake levers fail, and whether the connector of the controller or motor fails.
Motor kicks in, but speed is low| Check whether the brake is locked, the tightness of chain is proper; the air pressure of tire is proper; check whether the battery power is full, if not, please charge the battery.
Short Mileage| If the battery has not been in use for a long time, please recharge the battery in advance.
Check whether the brake rubs against the rim because of tightness, and whether the tire pressure is full. Check whether the battery is full, if not, please recharge it.
Abnormal Noise of the Bike| Check for all screws and bolts to be properly tightened.
Battery Not Charging| Check the charger and power. Check whether the battery connection is in good condition and is stable. Check whether the charger plugs board fails. Check for any blown fuses in the battery case or any disconnected wiring.

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 an EMOJO electric trike?

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 EMOJO electric trike?

A. Yes. One of the main advantages of cycling on an EMOJO electric bicycle is that it literally 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 1in 7 (14%) gradient. Pedaling along with the motor is strongly advised to avoid overheating of the motor and to extend the battery life.

Q. Do I need a driver's license, insurance or registration?

A. No, you don't. According to Federal law, electric bikes that are under 750 watts 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 trike?

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.

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 unpowered stopping feature, but also protects the motor under braking conditions so that it isn't working against the brakes.

Q. How far will the trike 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 31 miles (50 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. The range with throttle only lasts about 20 miles (35 km)

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?

A. Not all EMOJO models will be suitable to install a trailer or a child seat. We suggest contacting your local dealer for approved trailers.

Q. Can I put the electric bike on a bike rack?

A. The trike will not fit in any traditional bicycle carrier, there might be other options such a carrier for electric wheel chairs, consult with a carrier manufacturer for options. EMOJO also offers a hitch rack for its trikes.

Storage and disposal
Please follow these steps to prolong the life of your EMOJO bike

  1. Always keep your electric trike protected from the rain, snow, hail, etc. Always store it indoors or in a closed garage.
  2. Do not leave your electric trike exposed under the direct sunlight for long periods or time
  3. If rain or snow catches you suddenly while riding your electric trike will be ok but you must find shelter away from the elements, the battery, display and motor are not designed to perform under heavy rain or snow.
  4. It is highly recommended that you use a damp cloth to clean your electric trike, do not use a water hose nor a pressure washer to wash your bike, electronic components may get damaged. If the tires or parts of the frame are heavily loaded with mud or dirt you can use a wet brush to scrub it away rather than pressure-wash your trike.
  5. If the battery is damaged or no longer working, dispose it according to the local laws, do not throw away with the regular trash. Consult recycling centers. Batteries are considered electronic waste.
  6. Do not attempt to open, repair, upgrade, retrofit or refurbish the battery and or the motor, they are not serviceable by the user.
