First of all, we would like to thank you for choosing the ESCAPE electric bike.
We warmly welcome you to our Demon Electric family. We wish you enjoy the numerous kilometers and happy moments with your new bike.
After the initial shipment we have made many improvements and modifications for the ESCAPE including:

• Suspended seat post – Takes the shock out of the big bumps, without the cost or complexity of suspension.
• Adjustable handlebar stem- Provides up to 1 1/2” of rise and reach adjustment, for fully customizable riding position.
• Upgraded Shimano derailleur- Rigid cast aluminum construction gives smoother, more precise shifting.
• New gearing, with taller top gear for relaxed touring, plus a lower low gear for tight, technical riding.
• Demon Electric E-Bikes can be upgraded with additional accessories, such as water bottle holders, phone mounts, etc.

BELOW ARE THE GUIDELINES FOR THE INITIAL BATTERY CHARGING PROCESS:

• Before using the e-bike for the first time, we strongly recommend that you conduct a preliminary battery check-up and perform a full charge for optimal performance.
• To charge the battery, before riding connect the e-bike to the charger and allow the battery to reach full capacity. According to the manufacturer’s instructions, the initial charge typically takes between 48 to 72 hours prior to your first ride.
• During the charging process, keep an eye on the LED indicator or display on your battery charger. This will give you insights into the charging progression. If you encounter any problems, don’t hesitate to reach out to the manufacturer for assistance.
• After the battery has been fully charged, it’s recommended to take your e-bike out for a test ride. Pay attention to its performance, including the speed, range, and power-assistance levels. Any significant discrepancies might imply that the battery capacity is compromised and needs further attention.
• Even when the e-bike is not being used frequently, it’s crucial to regularly charge and discharge the battery. This practice helps to prevent battery degradation during periods of storage. Email us at pdisales@pdintl.ca

BATTERY CHARGING

Included with your new ESCAPE is a lithium ion battery, along with a charger, which plugs into a standard household electric receptacle. A lithium ion battery requires specially designed chargers. You should never charge your battery with a substitute charger that is not designed for this use.

Your ESCAPE battery arrives with 70% charge. It is recommended that you fully charge the battery before your first use. The ESCAPE battery may be charged while on the bike or removed and charged at a location away from the ESCAPE. To charge the battery please follow the steps below:

• Remove the rubber cover on the charging socket
• Place the charger in a flat, secure place, and connect the DC output plug from the charger (round barrel connector) to the charging port on the side of the battery pack.
• The indicator light on the charger will be red / orange when battery is charging and will turn green when fully charged.
  The charger will charge a fully depleted battery in 3— 4 hours. 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. If you experience unusual sounds or odors coming from the charger or the battery, unplug charger immediately and contact Demon Powersports customer service

BATTERY CHARGING TIPS

• Recharge battery after every use. This will keep the battery in good shape for longer time.
• Do not allow any liquids near or inside the battery charger.
• Do not charge the battery with any other chargers then what was originally supplied with your ESCAPE
• Fully charge the battery before each use to extend the life of the battery and help to reduce the chance of over discharging the battery pack.
• Do not place the battery near fire or corrosive substances.
• Make sure the charging socket and plug are dry before connecting and charging the battery, and make sure the charger connector is tightly inserted all the way into the socket. Failure to do so may result in HRC (high resistance connection) which could lead to danger of overheating and possible fire hazard.
• Charge the battery in a dry place (indoor) and ensure there is sufficient ventilation.

WARNINGS AND SAFETY

You should check the operation of your brake inhibitor switches before every ride. While riding slowly in a controlled environment (like a driveway), engage the motor, then squeeze each brake in turn. The motor should lose power immediately and remain off as long as a brake lever is depressed.

Always use the lowest assist setting until you are comfortable with the bike and feel confident controlling the electric assist.
Keep your hands on the brake levers and remember that they will always slow or stop the bike if pulled.
Use only the battery provided with your bicycle. Even if it is physically possible to connect another type of battery, it is dangerous and potentially damaging to do so.

Never short circuit on the discharge terminals of the battery. A short circuit will damage the battery and could cause a fire resulting in severe injury or death, and property damage. When handling the battery outside the bicycle, be aware of conductive materials that may short the battery terminals, such as coins, nails, etc.

Electric bikes are faster and heavier than normal bikes. When riding in wet weather, you should use extra caution.

Local laws may prohibit the use of high-speed electric bicycles on bike paths or trails. Be sure you are familiar with the laws in your area. Even if legal, it is usually not safe to ride at high speed on paths or trails around other users.

Like any mechanical device, a bicycle and its components are subject to wear and stress. Different materials and mechanisms wear or fatigue from stress at different rates and have different life cycles. If a component’s life cycle is exceeded, the component can suddenly and catastrophically fail, causing serious injury or death to the rider. Scratches, cracks, fraying, and discoloration are signs of stress-caused fatigue and indicate that a part is at the end of its useful life and needs to be replaced.

Electric Bikes can be dangerous to use. The user or consumer assumes all risk of personal injuries, damage, or failure of the bicycle or system and all other losses or damages to themselves and others and to any property arising because of using this bicycle.
