RadExpand™ 5 Plus
Rider Quick Reference

Power Your Ride

Your RadExpand ebike has three ways to move you with ease:

Pedal Assist System (PAS)
Adjust the PAS level to the amount of motor help you want while you pedal.

Level 5 = Maximum help.
Level 1 = A little help.
Level 0 = PAS is off.

Throttle on Demand
Twist the throttle to get extra motor power with or without pedaling.
Get a quick boost to get started. Or cruise along without pedaling!

Gears

Downshift to a low gear for easy edaling (great for starting or for going uphill).
Upshift to a high gear for fast cruising once you’re already up to speed.

RAD POWER BIKES LED Vapor Tight Jelly Jar - Gears

Gears are a mechanical feature independent of the motor and work like the gears on a non-motorized bike.

Turn Signals

Your RadExpand ebike is equipped with a taillight that includes integrated turn signals to help improve your visibility in low light conditions.
Press the desired turn button on the remote before starting a turn, and press the button again when the turn is completed to turn off the signal.

Folding and Unfolding

Your RadExpand ebike can be folded for storage and transport.
Turn the locking clasp up, pull the quick release lever away from the frame, and then disconnect the frame hinge lock.
Carefully fold the front of the frame in a counter-clockwise motion toward the rear of the frame until the wheels are parallel to each other. Secure the frame with the velcro strap, if desired.

Push the release button on the stem locking lever up and then pull the lever down to unlock the stem riser. Carefully fold down the handlebar until it rests against the frame.
Reverse these steps to unfold the ebike and secure the stem riser and frame hinge before riding.

WARNING: Use caution to keep fingers, clothing, and other objects away from the folding mechanisms and potential pinch points on your bike. Always check the folding mechanisms to ensure they’re locked before you ride or move your bike.

WEAR A HELMET

WARNING: Ebike components like brakes, cables and tires may wear out faster than would be the case for non-motorized bicycles, requiring more service. You must check your ebike before each ride and according to the other checklists in your Owner’s Manual, and have a professional, reputable bike mechanic perform a thorough tune-up following the service intervals described in your Owner’s Manual, or sooner if you discover increased wear. Failure to do so could result in property damage, serious injury, or death.
