Safety instructions

• Do not use your Wolverine electric bike before carefully reading this manual and understanding the performance of the ebike, and do not lend it to people who cannot handle the ebike.

• Preparations before riding: Always wear your helmet, gloves and other protective gear before riding to protect yourself from damage in case of an accident.

• Max load: the max load of the electric bike is 330 pounds coupled with the max

• load 50# of the rear rack; LoopEride shall not undertake any responsibility if an accident happens when the load is more than 380 pounds.

• In case of frequent braking and startup, uphill riding, headwind riding, muddy roads, snow, sand, heavy load etc, a large quantity of electric power of the battery will be consumed, thus affecting the range, so we recommend that
  you note the above factors when riding, and plan accordingly.

• If the battery is idle for a long time, make sure to charge it, and it also needs to be charged once again if its storage is more than a month or two.

• The electric bike cannot be submerged in water because if water enters into the controller, motor, or battery, it may cause a short circuit to damage the electrical parts, especially if it is saltwater. The warranty is void for any

• submersion of motors, battery, controllers, or any other electrical components.

• The battery should last hundreds of charge cycles if maintained properly. At the end of life, recycle it.

• At the time of purchase, please select and buy a model suitable for your needs and easy for you to control. Before riding on roads, first practice with no power, on

• PAS 0, then as you get used to it, use PAS 1, and gradually increase as you gain skill and feel comfortable on your Wolverine.

Please pay attention to the following:

1. Before your riding, please check front and rear wheel nuts, and tighten them if necessary.
2. When turning on the power supply or coming across a slope during your riding, use the pedals to assist as much as possible to reduce the surge current and extend the battery life and continued range. Using the throttle will use more power.
3. On rainy days, when the water depth is higher than the wheel center, water is likely to soak into the motor, resulting in failure. Do not ride in deep water.
4. You must use the dedicated charger. When charging the battery, please put the battery and the charger in a stable and flat place.
5. Please undertake the charging process in a good ventilation environment, and do not cover the battery box or charger with any things that may impede the heat dissipation.
6. Please Keep appropriate tire pressure so as to avoid increasing the friction between the tire and the ground, which may easily wear the tires and deform the rim. On sand or snow, lower tire pressure may be used.
7. Users should abide by traffic rules, and the riding speed should be below 20mph. Be courteous to other slower riders and pedestrians.
8. Do not use the front brake heavily during high-speed or downhill riding, in order to avoid the center of gravity from moving ahead and leading to accidents.
9. For safety-critical components failure, please purchase brand components, or contact us for replacement parts.

Assembly method and requirements

First check all parts in accordance with the picture successively set into the riser(Note the direction) insert the bolt from top and tighten the nut.

Installation of front wheel

• The front wheel has a hub motor. The lock nuts need to face downward. With the bike suspended or blocked up, Carefully insert the wheel so the brake rotor fits between the brake pads. Where the motor power wires come out, the slot should be facing downward so that rain water does not flow into the motor. Snug the wheel nuts and spin the wheel to see that it spins freely and is centered. If not, then adjust accordingly. When good, tighten the wheel nuts and connect the motor power cable. Secure the cable to the fork with zip ties.

Installation of front brake

• The front brakes are hydraulic and come pre-installed.

Installation of handlebar

1. Loosen and remove the 4 bracket screws
2. Insert handle bar, snug 4 screws, and adjust the position to your comfort.
3. Tighten the 4 screws
4. The brakes and other components can be loosened and adjusted for comfort.

Non-standard parts assembly

Installation of front headlight and fender

1. There is a bolt in the fork. remove the bolt.
2. Align the headlight hole with the screw hole in the front fork, and insert the bolt through the light, then the fender bracket.
3. Tighten the nut with a 10mm wrench. Attach the lower fender supports and adjust until centered on the wheel.
4. Match the plug hole, plug in the connector carefully.
5. Move the lights up or down. adjust the lighting angle, test that the light works.

Battery and Charging

The battery should be charged before it is used. Please use the dedicated charger, otherwise it might damage the battery, and may even lead to a fire or other danger. Using a different charger will void the warranty.
Charging steps and method:

1. Carefully check whether the rated input voltage of the charger is consistent with the supply voltage.

2. The battery can be kept on the bike for charging and can also be taken off the bike to be charged indoors. If removing the battery, there is a power connection coming out of the bottom of the battery headed to the aft controller that will need to be unplugged first. Next, remove the velcro safety strap, then insert the key and rotate counter clockwise to unlock the battery. Carefully lift out the battery from the top end first- it is a tight fit but will come out.

3. Connect the output plug of the charger with the charging port of the battery and then connect the input plug of the charger with AC power supply.

4. The red power indicator on the charger will come on, which means that the charging is
   connected and charging.

5. When the indicator turns green instead of being red, then the battery is fully charged. After charging, first pull out the wall power plug of the charger, then the output battery plug. It may need 6-8 hrs for the charging.

A new battery should be recharged for 8-9 hrs after a deep discharging the first time. It is to activate the active substances inside the battery. Later, it can be re-charged even if its power is not used up, but since battery life is based on a certain fixed number of charge cycles, you should generally discharge at least half way before recharging so that you are charging less often.

Common sense of charging and use:

The battery should be charged in a spacious environment, staying away from high temperature, high humidity and close fire, because the battery and the charger are electronic products, high temperature and humidity will corrode electronic components, resulting in some harmful gases, and may even cause explosion. If ever a lithium battery catches on fire, immediately get the battery outside, extinguish with water and continue to monitor as it may re- light.
Don’t leave the battery hooked up to the charger for a long time (more than a few days), it will shorten the battery life.
When the battery is not used for a long time, the battery should be charged every couple months or as needed to maintain at least 50% charge.

Adjustment of quick release parts

Quick release system of the seat

1. Move the quick release handle to the OPEN position
2. Clockwise rotate the nut till it contacts with the saddle clamp, and then turn counterclockwise for a circle or semi-circle, then push the quick release handle to the CLOSE position.

Reflection and lighting system
The reflection system includes a reflector on the rim, front and rear passive lamp, backpack, helmet and reflective patch on riding clothes.
The lighting system is mainly the headlight, powered by the battery. Hold down on the up arrow to turn on the headlight. It is safest to ride with the headlight on all the time, it does not use much power and increases visibility.

Safety height mark
The stem can be properly adjusted depending on personal riding habit, but the safety mark cannot be exposed; It may cause serious injury in case of improper operation.
Adjustment method:

1. Loosen the screw in the middle of the stem
2. Move the stem to a certain height, and do not make the safety mark exposed. 3.Fasten the screw

When you sit on the saddle to tread on the pedal flatly by heel, when the pedal is at the lowest position, legs slightly stretch, and at this time it is the most suitable height; if the rider can tread on the pedal only by toes or legs cannot stretch slightly, fatigue and sports injury will be caused, so there is a careful need for adjustment of the height of the saddle post.
The saddle post has a max mark line, that is safety height mark which cannot be exposed. In case of improper use, serious injury may be caused.
Saddle angle: In order to avoid leaning forward when riding, it is appropriate for the front end of the saddle to lean upward, the front and rear position can be appropriately adjusted based on individual height.
Minimum height of the saddle: move the quick release handle to the OPEN position, then put the saddle post to the lowest place, and when the saddle post cannot enter into the saddle tube of the frame , it is the minimum height of the seat.
Maximum height of the saddle: move the quick release handle to the OPEN position, then lift the saddle post to the top but the safety line is not exposed, it is the maximum height of the saddle. Measuring method: place the bike perpendicular to the ground, and the distance from the highest part of the curved surface of the saddle vertical to the ground is the height of the saddle.

Braking system

The braking system should be checked for proper functionality before every ride. The braking system includes brake handles, disc brake pads, rotors, and hydraulic lines. The left brake handle controls the front brake and the right brake handle controls the rear brake.
The effective stroke of the brake lever is about a half of the distance between the brake lever and the grip.
Generally, you should be attempting to brake gradually in order to control the speed of the bike. The harder you brake, the more likely you are to skid and have an accident. Also, hard braking will wear the down brake pads more quickly.

Common sense of the use of the braking system
When the brake shoes are worn seriously, replace immediately in order to maintain effective braking and to avoid damaging the brake rotors.
When riding in rainy days, the function of the brakes will be weakened, so please keep a longer safe braking distance and reduce the speed.
The surface on the brake disc and the brake shoes cannot be oiled, so as to avoid serious damage.
If the brake cable is scraped or pinched, it may cause the brake cable to burst and this is very dangerous, please replace. If you need to clean your brake rotors, use 90% isopropyl alcohol, a
clean rag, and avoid touching the rotor with your fingers.

Speed control system

The speed control system is used to cater to various speeds and terrains, and to adjust for physical strength appropriately.
The entire speed control system includes a front and rear derailleur, front and rear shifters, chain rings, cassette, and shift cables.
There are 21 speeds, 3 front chain rings and a 7 speed rear cassette. The left shifter controls the front derailleur, and the right controls the rear. Use your thumb to press on the upper lever or lower lever to change gears while pedaling. Do not apply a large force when changing gears, just pedal with light force. Don’t shift gears while stationary.

Motor

Motor maintenance: motor shaft can’t be soaked in water for a long time

Pay attention to protecting the power cables that come from the motors. There are protective covers for over the wheel nuts, make sure these are in place. Inspect for any wire damage and repair if needed before riding to avoid short circuiting the motors. Do not submerge the motors.

Derailleur

Type of derailleur: dial type
The derailleur is separately positioned on both sides of the handle,and the left controls the front one,the right controls the rear one.
Adjustment of the derailleur:

The derailleur is classified into the front derailleur and back derailleur, When the shift cables are loose or too tight, if the speed controller doesn’t work properly or the chain falls off, the H, L bolt is adjusted. These are stopper bolts.

• H bolt: when the chain speed changes to the biggest sprocket, the chain will fall off, and the H bolt will be too loose. But if it is too tight, the chain can’t climb to the biggest sprocket. Adjust as needed so it reaches the largest sprocket but does not go past.
• L bolt: when the chain is toward the inside smallest sprocket and the chain falls off, the L bolt is loose. But if it is too tight, the speed change can’t be downward. Therefore it is appropriate to adjust the H, L bolt to a suitable position.

chain

When the chain elongates to a certain extent , the chain will climb to the chain wheel and jump, and at this time the chain has not meshed with the chain wheel correctly, thus affecting the cycling performance; in case of such a situation, the chain should be timely adjusted.
To determine the length of the chain: adjust the front derailleur to the lowest shift (the smallest tooth of the chainring) and also adjust the back derailleur to the lowest shift ( the smallest tooth of the cassette) to check whether the chain sag is more than 15mm (as shown). If it is more than 15mm, the chain is too loose, please go to your supplier ta shorten the chain in order to maintain the best cycling performance of your bike.
Common sense of the use of speed control system
Do not pedal reversely in the course of speed change so as not to lead to failure and the chain falls off.
As far as possible, do not change the gear-speed ratio substantially and should change the speed one at a time.
If the electric bike is idle for a long time, the chain will be changed to the minimum cassette tooth and the smallest chain wheel, so as to avoid fatigue of the mechanical flexibility.
The chain, sprockets, flywheel, derailleur should be always washed, wiped, and lubricated (oiled appropriately).

Shock absorption system

Suspension fork can keep the tire in better contact with the ground when your bike is running on the uneven road so that the rider feels more comfortabl e while driving on the uneven road.
Suspension fork stiffness can be adjusted by adjusting the fork coefficient according to road conditions and personal preference.

• Fork lock: The shock can be put in lock position if you prefer to have no shock movement.

Use and maintenance

For details about the display, please refer to the display manual.

Routine inspection of your electric bike before use

1. Turn on the power switch and check whether the functions of the display and
   all the electrical parts are normal.

2. Safety inspection (see the notes to safe use in the Manual).

3. Check whether the throttle switch handle rotates and resets flexibly (with brake held).

4. Check whether the braking cut-off function for cutting power to the motor, and braking effect are in good condition (braking distance on dry pavement: 4m, on wet pavement :15m)

Periodic inspection of electric bike
In everyday use of the electric bike, a number of mechanical and electrical parts will be worn, screws and other fasteners may loosen, and the functions of the electrical parts could be lost. You must occasionally check nuts and bolts, wiring connections, and generally inspect the bike to make sure you have a safe ride.

Maintenance

In order to ensure safety and proper functionality, clean and oil the chain, cassette sprockets, chain ring and derailleur regularly (consult your supplier for the type of the oil product).

Riding skills

A correct cycling posture is the premise of safe riding. The riding posture is closely related to the height and size of the cyclist. It is important to have the bike adjusted properly for your size so you can use the brakes, shifters, controls, and dismount easily. Therefore, a correct cycling position is the key to being safe.
Adjust the parts of the E-bike to suit your body; the bike should fit like a good set of clothes.

1. Adjust the position of the seat: your legs should not lock straight when the pedals are fully downward, but should be almost fully extended. Also, you should be able to touch the ground while still on the seat.
2. Adjust the height of the handlebar: for the height of the handle, in general, this type handle is about 30-50mm higher than the seat. Spacers can be removed and repositioned to lower the handlebars if needed. Handlebars can be rotated somewhat to adjust to fit. Tighten all bolts well after adjustment.
3. Sitting posture should be balanced between the seat and handlebars.
4. Changing gears: this should be done when pedaling, but do not be pedaling with a strong force when shifting to avoid damaging the chain and other parts. Shift down when going slower, going uphill, or into the wind. Shift up when going faster or downhill. Adjust pedal speed to your liking by using the gears.
5. Braking: try to use the brakes evenly, being careful to not use the front brake too hard, otherwise the front wheel may slip or lock up causing you to fall. If you need to stop quickly, move your weight back as you brake. Plan ahead and try to brake gradually, especially in wet or snowy conditions.

Troubleshooting

1. Display will not turn on: Check that the battery is charged; Check the connection from the display to the controller, this is near the handlebars, it could have come unplugged; If these are not successful, remove the battery and inspect the main power terminals for dirt or corrosion. If necessary, clean with electronics cleaner and re-apply battery terminal protector. Never use metal objects like screwdrivers when cleaning the terminals; If none of these solutions work, contact us for diagnostics.
2. Display comes on, but no power to motors: Check the brake levers to see if they are all the way forward. If a brake handle was bent, it may not return properly and may be triggering the safety motor disconnect built into the brake levers. If this is the case there will be a motor shaped indicator lit up on the top of the screen. You may need a new brake lever; Check the power connections from the hub motors, make sure they are fully together; Make sure PAS level is not 0; If you have pedal assist but the throttle does not work, maybe the cable came unplugged, was damaged, or the throttle needs to be replaced.
3. The charger will not work: Check your outlet and make sure it works; Check that the cord is pressed firmly into the charger; check the battery charge port for corrosion or dirt and carefully clean out if necessary, using nothing metal; If these solutions do not work, contact us for a replacement charger.
4. Throttle works but no pedal assist: Make sure you are not in PAS 0; Check the small disc on the crank arm to see if it is damaged, dirty, or pushed far away from the sensor. If any of these you will need to clean, replace, or re-position the disc; The disck needs to be close to the sensor pickup. Check the wire coming from the PAS sensor on the crank. If damaged, either repair or replace.
5. Other issues may arise from loose or dirty electrical connections on the wiring harness or on the battery. If you are having issues that you cannot diagnose, first check all the connections, charge the battery, and if the problem persists, contact us for diagnostics.
