HELMETS

• Many Provinces require specific safety devices. It is your responsibility to familiarize yourself with the Province’s laws where you ride and comply with all applicable laws, including adequately equipping yourself and your bike
  as the law requires.

• It is strongly recommended that you wear a properly fitted bicycle safety helmet at all times when riding your E-Bike.
  The correct helmet should:

  • Be Comfortable
  • Be Lightweight
  • Have Good Ventilation
  • Fit Correctly
  • Cover Your Forehead

REFLECTORS
Your E-Bike comes equipped with front/rear wheel reflectors and four pedal reflectors. Reflectors are essential safety devices designed as an integral part of your E-Bike. Provincial regulations require every bicycle to have front/rear wheel and pedal reflectors. These reflectors pick up and reflect streetlights and car lights in a way that helps you to be seen and recognized as a moving cyclist. Check reflectors
and their mounting brackets regularly to make sure they are clean, straight, unbroken and securely mounted. Replace damaged reflectors and straighten or tighten any that are bent or loose.

FRONT FENDER & WHEEL ASSEMBLY

• Open the box from the top, take the bike, parts and accessories box out.
• Carefully remove all protective carton pieces, foam pads, tie wraps, plastic fittings, recycle all material that can be recycled, dispose of the rest.

WARNING!
IF THE FRONT WHEEL IS NOT FASTENED SECURELY, IT WILL CAUSE THE FRONT WHEEL TO COME OFF AND MAY CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT!

1. Take the front fender out of the car-ton. Loosen the nut of the front light from the backside, then loosen the bolt on the front side with a 10mm wrench, put the fender’s hook and the front light together, then tighten the front bolt, then tighten the nut on the backside.
2. Take the quick release(or nuts and bolts) out of the packing box. When installing the front wheel, make sure the disc brake is correctly installed.

INSTALL THE FRONT WHEEL

RIDEAU, COLUMBUS & AURORA

• Insert the front wheel into the fork
• Make sure that the wheel is seated and centered in the fork and the brake disc fits in between the brake linings.
• Lightly apply a very thin layer of grease to the axle.
• Insert the axle through the wheel making sure the larger diameter of the spring(s) faces outward (see diagram C).

QUICK-RELEASE BINDER/LEVER

RIDEAU & COLUMBUS
This binder is used to attach wheels to the frame and fork or tighten a seat post into a frame. Binders allow for a tool-free, quicker use than nuts and bolts but require knowledge of proper use.

• Put the lever in an opened position (A)
• Tighten the adjustment nut (1) by small increments until you need considerable force to push (2) the lever to its closed position (B) with your fingers or palm.
• Test wheel attachment by lifting the front end of the bike and firmly hit downward on the front wheel with your palm.
  There should be no play in the connection.

Sometimes the quick-release lever will be too difficult to press down. Loosen it in small increments, so that the quick-release lever can be pressed in to lock hard. There should be no play in the connection.

• AURORA
  The AURORA has a an axle that is attached with nuts (no quick release binder). Follow the “Install the front wheel instruc-tions above, then tighten the nuts securely. Test wheel attachment by lifting the front end of the bike and firmly hit downward on the front wheel with your palm. There should be no play in the connection.

POWERING ON

RIDEAU & COLUMBUS
When the throttle or sensor is engaged (powering the motor), and the E-Bike is in motion, the LED display will indicate instantaneous line voltage as measured at the battery terminals-not the available energy in the available power in the battery pack.The line voltage will wing out from a dead stop or going up a steep hill, the motor will be under a high load and may show a reduced number of LED bars.
When the throttle is disengaged (i.e. no power to the motor due to the bicycle being stationary or coasting) LED bars will indicate the battery pack’s voltage. The voltage of the battery pack will rise when no load is on the motor. The best indication of how much battery life is remaining is to check the LED bars, after reaching cruising speed, on a flat straight road. By doing this, the battery voltage will stabilize and give a more accurate reading.

SHIFTER/DERAILLEUR

SHIFTER
This E-bike is equipped with gears, that include:

• A rear sprocket cluster called a freewheel or cog set
• A rear derailleur
• One shifter
• One control cable
• One front sprocket
• A drive chain

There are many different types of shifter mechanisms, each preferred for specific applications because of their ergonomic, performance and price characteristics.

• A downshift is a shift to a lower or slower gear, which makes it easier to pedal.
• An up-shift is a shift to a higher or faster gear, which makes it harder to pedal.
• For example, you can downshift to a lower gear to make pedalling easier on a hill.
• On the other hand, you may up-shift to a higher gear when you wish to go faster.
• Whether up-shifting or downshifting, the derailleur system requires that the drive chain is moving forward and is under at least some tension. A derailleur will shift only if you are pedalling forward.
  CAUTION: NEVER MOVE THE SHIFTER WHILE PEDALLING BACKWARD. DO NOT PEDAL BACKWARDS AFTER MOVING THE SHIFTER. EITHER OF THESE ACTIONS COULD JAM THE CHAIN AND CAUSE SEVERE DAMAGE TO THE E-BIKE.

DERAILLEUR
The derailleur system includes the front and rear derailleur, the shift levers, and the derailleur control cables, all of which must function correctly for smooth gear shifting to occur. The front and rear derailleurs are adjusted in the factory. You will need to inspect and adjust both before riding your E-Bike.

ADJUSTING THE REAR DERAILLEUR
Shift the rear shifter to the highest number indicated, loosen the cable from the rear derailleur cable anchor bolt, and place the chain on the smallest sprocket. Adjust the high limit screw so that the guide pulley and the smallest sprocket line up vertically. Re-tighten the cable, pull out any slack and re-tighten the anchor bolt securely. When shifting through the gears, make sure that each gear changes quietly and without hesitation. It is necessary to use the barrel adjuster to fine-tune the cable tension by turning it in the direction you want the chain to go. For example, turning clockwise will loosen the cable tension and move the chain away from the wheel, while turning counter-clockwise will tighten cable tension and direct the chain to the wheel.

PEDAL ASSIST & THROTTLES

This E-Bike has an electric pedal-assisted driving system (PAS).The pedal- assisted driving system consists of a driving unit, a battery, a controller, and various electronic compo-nents (harness wires, sensors and switches). It is essential to know that when the pedal assist system is on, the driving unit provides power only while you are pedalling. The amount of power supplied by the unit depends on your pedalling force and the assis-tance model/level you set with the handlebar control unit at any time. When you stop pedalling, the pedal assist system will disengage. In all models/levels, the pedal-assisted driving system reduces progressively. It cuts off as the bike reaches 25KM/h (15.5MPH), or sooner if you stop pedalling. The pedal-assisted driving system re-engages when speed drops below 25KM/H (15.5MPH) as long the pedals are turning.

• The RIDEAU & COLUMBUS are equipped with a thumb throttle. The more you press down on the throttle, the faster the motor system will propel the bicycle.DO NOT USE PEDAL ASSIST AND THE THUMB THROTTLE AT THE SAME TIME.
• The AURORA is equipped with a twist grip throttle. The more you twist the throttle, the faster the motor system will propel the bicycle. DO NOT USE PEDAL ASSIST AND THE TWIST GRIP THROTTLE AT THE SAME TIME.

PEDAL INSTALLATION
Pedals are a pair with “R” & “L” (Picture 1): “R” for right, “L” for left. Tighten the pedals in the direction of the threads.

ADJUSTING THE FRONT BRAKES

1. Insert an elbowed hex key into the screw port of the brake frame, turning the screw left to loosen and right to tighten. Turn to the left gently makes the brake a little loose.
2. Hold the brake tight with your left hand so that the brake is pressed against the brake pad (this holds the brake tight).
3. Then turn the elbowed hex key to the right of the brake until the brake is tight, then release the brake. The brake will automatically return, the brake is in the right direction, so that it will not wear.

ADJUSTING THE SADDLE

To adjust the saddle (up or down) open the quick-release lever on the saddle tube. Once you choose the correct height, close the quick-release lever. Press down on the saddle to make sure it is locked tight into position. To check for correct saddle height, perform the following:

• Sit on the saddle, and place one heel on a pedal.
• Rotate the crank until the pedal with your heel on it is in the down position, and the crank arm is parallel to the seat tube. Your leg should be completely straight and just touching the center of the pedal.

Some riders prefer to have the saddle nose tilted slightly up or down. Adjust the saddle tilt by loosen-ing the saddle bolt, tilting the saddle to the desired position, and re-tightening the saddle bolt. Make sure it is tight enough so that you cannot move or jiggle the saddle. Small changes in saddle position can have a substantial effect on performance and comfort. Whenever changing your saddle position, make only one directional change at a time.

FOLDING THE E-BIKE

CAUTION
MAKE SURE ALL WIRES ARE CLEAR AND NOT PINCHED WHEN FOLDING THE E-BIKE. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY CUT OR DAMAGE THE WIRES AND WILL NOT BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY.

• Turn the key switch to OFF.
• Unlock the handlebar quick-release lever (Picture 1) and push down the handlebar to the lowest position, then lock the handlebar quick-release lever.
• Unlock the handlebar quick-release lever (Picture 2) and roll it over the handle bar (Picture 3).
• Rotate the pedal upward so it is perpendicular to the ground. Grasp the crank arm and pedal (Picture 4) Push the pedal in and flip the pedal up.
• Push the lock pin forward (Picture 5). Pull the lever toward you (Picture 6). Pull handlebar upward.
• Grasp the seat and the handlebar. Pivot the front half of the frame rearward around the hinge until the front wheel is beside the rear wheel (Picture 7).

BATTERY CHARGING

NOTE: YOU CAN CHARGE THE BATTERY WHILE IT’S ON THE BIKE (DURING RIDING SEASON) OR REMOVE THE BATTERY AND CHARGE IT INDOORS (IN COLDER WEATHER/WINTER MONTHS).

• Always be sure to turn the bike power switch to “OFF” after each use. If you leave the power switch in the “ON” position or your product has not been charged for an extended period, the battery may reach a stage when it no longer holds a charge.
• Do not use other brands to charge this battery. Do not use this battery for a different brand of E-Bike.
• The charger has a 110V circuit; please do not dismantle.
• When the charger is being used or stored, prevent liquid or metal from entering the charger. The charger should be free from falling over to avoid injury.
• When using the charger, it should be left unobstructed.
• The charger is for indoor use only. When in use, keep it in a dry, well-ventilated area.
• If you detect an unusual odour or the temperature is too high during charging, stop charging immediately and send it back to the sales department for inspection/repair.

UNLOCKING AND REMOVING THE BATTERY

• Open the quick-release lever on the saddle tube and remove seat and seat post.

• Insert key on the battery case and turn to unlock position.

• Lift the handle on the battery case and carefully lift the battery out.

• Switch off power and remove the key.

• Remove (rotate to open) rubber stopper in the charging hole. Plug the output plug of the charger into the socket of the battery box. Then plug the power input plug (110-220V) into a household power socket to start the charging process.

• After charging is finished, pull out the power input plug (110-220V), then pull out the output plug.

DURATION OF BATTERY CHARGING

• When the input and output terminal are connected, the charger’s red indicator light will light up to show that the power is connected.

• It will take 5-8 hours to charge the battery for the first time. When the charger’s indicator light turns green, showing that the battery is fully charged, it will switch to trickle charge mode to prevent over-charging. It takes 2-8 hours for regular charging.

• This charger has a protection device for over-charging. Long-time charging should not be more than 24 hours because it will affect the lifetime of the battery.
  Check the battery pack before using it for the first time.

• The charger doesn’t need to be grounded.

• During charging, place the charger in a safe location out of the reach of children

• The battery pack is supplied partially charged. To ensure full battery pack capacity, completely charge the battery pack before using it for the first time.

• Retailers should charge the batteries as soon as receiving the E-Bike from the supplier.

• Even with proper care, rechargeable batteries do not last forever. Every time a battery is discharged and subsequently recharged, its relative capacity decreases by a small percentage. You can maximize the life of your battery by following the instructions
  in this manual (see PAGE 17).

• Fully charge the battery once you receive it for the full recommended charge times.
  Lithium battery recommended charging time: 6-8 hours.

• For a complete,100% charge, leave the battery on the charger for one full hour after the charger indicator light turns green.

• Never charge batteries for longer than 24 hours.

• Li-ion batteries do not have a “memory.” Partial discharge/charge cycles will not harm the battery’s capacity or performance.

RIDING SAFELY

• Once you have completed the initial battery charge, you are ready to ride.
• It is your responsibility to know and abide by all local laws that govern and restrict electric bicycle use.
• Before riding, familiarize yourself with all the different parts of the e-bike and always make sure that all the electrical components are in working order.
• Ensure all the bicycle parts are in good condition, i.e. battery power level, tire pressure and brakes.

Hold onto the handlebars with both hands. Assume a well-balanced position on the E-Bike and push off with your foot. Your left hand will control the throttle. Press down on the thumb throttle slowly to avoid a sudden rush of speed forward. The speed of the E-Bike will increase as you press down on the throttle. Release the throttle and apply the brakes to stop your E-Bike. You will control the speed of the E-Bike by using both the throttle and the brakes. Squeezing the brake handles cuts power to the throttle.

RIDING ON THE ROAD

• Obey the same road laws as all other road vehicles, including yielding to pedestrians and stopping at red lights and stop signs.
• Ride predictably and in a straight line. Never ride against traffic.
• Use correct hand signals to indicate turning or stopping.
• Ride defensively. To other road users, you may be hard to see.
• Concentrate on the path ahead. Avoid potholes, gravel, wet road markings, oil, curbs, speed bumps, drain grates and other obstacles.
• Expect the unexpected such as opening car doors or cars backing out of concealed driveways.
• Be very careful at intersections and when preparing to pass other vehicles.
• Familiarize yourself with all the bike’s features: practice braking and the use of horns.
• Don’t carry packages or passengers that will interfere with your visibility or control of the bike. Don’t use items that may restrict your hearing.
• Maintain a comfortable stopping distance from all other riders, vehicles and objects. Safe braking distance is subject to weather conditions.

RIDING IN WET CONDITIONS

• Brake earlier; it will take a longer distance to stop.
• Decrease your riding speed, avoid sudden braking, and take corners with additional caution.
• Be more visible on the road by wearing reflective clothing and using safety lights.
• The local standard weight is 90kg (including the rider weight); do not overload.
• Potholes and slippery surfaces such as line markings, train tracks and wood become more hazardous when wet.

NIGHT RIDING

• Ensure that the front lights (if equipped) are on.
• Wear reflective and light coloured clothing.
• Ride at night only if necessary. Slow down and use familiar roads with street lighting.

PARKING

• Shut off the power switch after you get off to prevent an unintentional abrupt start-up of the bicycle
• Do not start-up E-Bike frequently while resting to ensure the battery, motor, and electric switch’s service life.
• Shut off the power after parking and remove the key.
• When the E-Bike power is on, and a person does not sit on the saddle: do not turn the throttle; otherwise, it will cause the E-Bike to rush forward.

MAINTENANCE

Technological advances have made the E-Bike and the components more complex than ever before. The pace of innovation is increasing. This ongoing evolution makes it impossible for this manual to provide all the information required to properly repair and maintain your E-Bike. To help minimize the chances of an accident and possible injury, you must have any repair or maintenance performed by your dealer, not explicitly described in this manual. Your maintenance requirements are determined by everything from your riding style
to geographic location. Consult your dealer for help in determining your maintenance requirements. How much of your E-Bike service and maintenance you can do yourself depends upon your level of skill, experience, and special tool availability.

WARNING
MANY E-BIKE SERVICE AND REPAIR TASKS REQUIRE KNOWLEDGE AND TOOLS. DO NOT BEGIN ANY ADJUSTMENTS OR SERVICE ON YOUR E-BIKE IF YOU HAVE THE SLIGHTEST DOUBT ABOUT YOUR ABILITY TO COMPLETE THEM CORRECTLY. IMPROPER ADJUSTMENT OR SERVICE MAY DAMAGE THE E-BIKE OR CAUSE AN ACCIDENT RESULTING IN SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH.

INSPECTION, SERVICE & MAINTENANCE
For your safety and enjoyment and to ensure a longer life for your E-Bike, inspect and maintain your E-Bike regularly. You must check specific systems and components before every ride. To ensure your safety, the proper condition and function of these systems are critical. You can perform some service and maintenance and require no special tools or knowledge beyond what is written in this manual. All other service maintenance and repair should be performed in a properly equipped facility by a qualified E-Bike mechanic using the correct tools and procedures specified by the manufacturer.
Your E-Bike will last longer and work better if you break it in before riding it hard. Control cables and wheel spokes may stretch or sear when a new E-Bike is first used and may require readjustment by your dealer. Your mechanical safety check will help you identify some things that need readjustment. Even if everything seems fine, it is best to take your E-Bike back to the dealer for a checkup. Dealers typically suggest you bring the E-Bike in 30 days after purchase for a checkup. Another way to judge when it’s time for the first checkup is to service the E-Bike after 10 to 15 hours of use. If you think something is wrong with the E-Bike, take it to your dealer before riding it again.

CLEANING YOUR E-BIKE
To avoid damage or accidents caused by wet inner electrical parts, do not wash your E-bike with a high-pressure washer. Clean off dirt on any painted metal or plastic parts with a damp cloth using a mild cleaning product. Dry off immediately. Use lubrication oil to maintain any metal parts of the bike. Never apply oil to the front or back brake rubber, hand brake levers, rim, tires, battery or controller.

• BEFORE EVERY RIDE
  Perform a mechanical safety check to make sure all components are in good working order.

• AFTER EVERY LONG OR HARD RIDE, IF THE E-BIKE IS EXPOSED TO WATER OR GRIT OR AT LEAST EVERY 100 MILES

  • Clean the E-Bike.
  • Lightly oil the chain, freewheel cogs and rear derailleur pulley bushings. Wipe off excess oil. Lubrication is a function of climate. Talk to your dealer about the best lubricants and the recommended lubrication frequency for your area.

• AFTER EVERY LONG OR HARD RIDE OR EVERY 10 TO 20 HRS OF RIDING

  • Squeeze the front brake and rock the E-Bike forward and back. Does everything feel solid? If you feel a clunk with each forward or backward movement of the E-Bike, you probably have a loose headset. Take your E-bike to your Dealer for inspection.
  • Lift the front wheel off the ground and swing it from the side. Does it feel smooth? If you feel any binding or roughness in the steering, you may have a tight headset. Take your E-bike to your Dealer for inspection.
  • Make sure all bolts, nuts and mounting hardware are tight.

CAUTION
SINCE THE RIGHT PEDAL ON YOUR E-BIKE FOLDS UP, GRASP THE CRANK ARM WHEN PERFORMING MAINTENANCE ON THE RIGHT SIDE.
WARNING
LIKE ANY MECHANICAL DEVICE, AN E-BIKE AND ITS COMPONENTS ARE SUBJECT TO WEAR AND STRESS. DIFFERENT MATERIALS AND MECHANISMS WEAR AT DIFFERENT RATES AND HAVE DIFFERENT LIFE CYCLES. ONCE A PART IS NO LONGER WORKING OR DAMAGED, IT CAN SUDDENLY AND CATASTROPHICALLY FAIL, CAUSING SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH TO THE RIDER. SCRATCHES, CRACKS, FRAYING AND DISCOLORATION ARE SIGNS OF STRESS-CAUSED WEAR AND INDICATE THAT A PART REQUIRES REPLACING.

BATTERY STORAGE

STORING YOUR BATTERY FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD

• Charge your battery every 60 days to avoid capacity loss. Batteries will slowly self-discharge when left unused for an extended period. Your battery lifespan and capacity will be permanently reduced if you allow the battery cells to reach a critically low voltage.

• Always disconnect your charger from the wall outlet and battery before storing the battery.

• Avoid storing your batteries in extreme hot or cold temperatures.

• Do not store outdoors.

• Batteries should be kept in a cool, dry place. Do not allow batteries to accumulate condensation; this could cause shorting or corrosion.

• The recommended storage temperature for Li-ion batteries is between 32-77ºF (0-25ºC).

• Avoid exposing the battery to extreme heat (104ºF or higher) for long periods.

• Q: Is it normal that the batteries get warm when recharging?
  A: Yes, the batteries will become warm to the touch during the recharging process due to increased internal resistance and less energy conversion efficiency from electric energy to chemical energy.

• Q: How long will my batteries last before needing replacement?
  A: Average battery life depends on use and conditions. Even with proper care, rechargeable batteries do not last forever. Conservatively, an SLA battery will come to the end of its useful after~350full discharge charge cycles. In contrast, LI-ION batteries will last more than 800cycles. A partial charge/discharge counts fractionally against those numbers; running the battery down halfway then recharging it completely uses up one half of a charge cycle. “End of useful life” refers to the point at which a battery can no longer supply 60% of its original rated capacity in ampere-hours. After this point, the aging process will accelerate; the battery needs replacing.

POWER-SAVING TIPS

• The life of the battery depends on using it correctly.
• Use Pedal-Assist when riding uphill.
• Charge your battery promptly and at regular intervals if you don’t ride your E-bike for long periods.
• Press down on the throttle slowly; do not press it too quickly when you speed up.
• In general, riding at a consistent speed of 15-18km/h will save the most power.
• Avoid excessive braking when you ride your E-bike.

FLAT TIRE

If you get a flat tire, remove the wheel and depress the tire valve to let all the air out of the tube. Remove one bead of the tire from the rim by grasping the tire at a point opposite the valve stem with both hands lifting and peeling one side of the tire off the rim. If the bead is too tight to unseat it with your hands, use tire levers to lift the bead carefully over the tire rim. Push the valve stem through the wheel rim. Remove the inner tube. Carefully check the outside and inside of the tire for the puncture cause and remove it. If the tire has a cut, line the inside of the tire in the area of the cut with tape, a spare patch, a piece of an inner tube, or a dollar bill- whatever will keep the cut from pinching the inner tube. Patch the tube (follow the instructions in your patch kit) or use a new tube. Reinstall the tire and tube. Slip one tire bead over the rim. Insert the tube valve through its hole in the rim, feed the tube carefully into the tire’s cavity. Inflate the tube just enough to give it some shape. Start at the valve stem, use your thumbs to seat the tire bead inside the rim, and work your way around both sides of the wheel until the entire bead is seated in the rim. Be careful not to pinch the tube between the tire bead and the wheel rim. If you have trouble getting the last few inched of bead over the edge of the rim with thumb pressure, use a tire lever and be careful not
to pinch the tube.

CAUTION
Using any tool other tool than a tire lever will likely puncture the tube. Check to make sure the tire is evenly seated around both sides of the rim and that the tube is inside the tire beads. Push the valve stem into the tire to ensure that its base is seated within the tire’s beads. Inflate the tube slowly to the recommended pressure, all the while checking to make sure that the tire beads stay seated in the rim. Replace the valve cap, and install the wheel onto the E-Bike.

WARNING:
RIDING YOUR E-BIKE WITH A FLAT OR UNDER INFLATED TIRE CAN DAMAGE THE TIRE, TUBE, AND E-BIKE AND CAUSE YOU TO LOSE CONTROL AND FALL.

BROKEN SPOKE
A wheel with a loose or broken spoke is much weaker than a fully tensioned wheel. If you break a spoke while riding, you will have to ride much more slowly and carefully because the weakened wheel could break additional spokes and become useless.
WARNING:
A BROKEN SPOKE SERIOUSLY WEAKENS THE WHEEL AND MAY CAUSE IT TO WOBBLE, STRIKING THE BRAKES OR THE FRAME. RIDING WITH A BROKEN SPOKE CAN CAUSE YOU TO LOSE CONTROL AND FALL.

Twist the broken spoke around the spoke nest; it will keep it from flopping around and getting caught between the wheel and the frame. Spin the wheel to see if the rim clears the brake pads. If the wheel does not turn, try turning the brake cable adjusting barrel(s) clockwise to slacken the cable and open up the brakes. If the wheel still won’t turn, open the brake’s quick release and secure any loose as best you can. Walk the E-Bike, or if you must, ride it with extreme caution because you now have only one working brake.
