CONGRATULATIONS AND THANK YOU FOR BECOMING THE PROUD OWNER OF A UNIQUE WILDSYDE® VINTAGE ELECTRIC CRUISER BICYCLE!
PLEASE READ ‘UNPACKING & ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS’ IF THE E-BIKE REQUIRES ASSEMBLY.
Whilst your battery is charging, now is a good opportunity to read this Quick Start Guide carefully and familiarize yourself with the controls and functions. Use the accompanying manual to help you.

FULLY CHARGE
BATTERY BEFORE USE
Before your first ride, charge the battery for 6-8 hours until the charging indicator light has turned green. Plug charging cable into charging point underneath battery tank (as shown) and connect to AC. Or, remove the battery and charge indoors (see page 4). Then, prepare to ride until the battery discharges to 20% (1 bar) on your first ride then repeat the charge/ discharge process for the next 3 rides to optimize battery life and performance.
A COCKPIT CONTROLS & FUNCTIONS
-
POWER ON/OFF & TOGGLE MODE BUTTON
Your electric bike is started and switched off using the rubber embossed MODE button ‘M’, located on the left side of the handlebars, just underneath the PAS/Lights/Power Glide arrow buttons. Push this and hold. The display will light up, indicating the bike is now ON. -
PEDAL ASSIST (PAS) UP/DOWN ARROW BUTTONS
Pedal Assist will automatically begin to work as soon as you start pedaling. Push the UP arrow for more power and easier riding, and the DOWN arrow for less power and harder riding. PAS levels go from 1-5 and are displayed on the bottom left of the LCD display. -
HEADLIGHT & TAILLIGHT
Lights share the UP arrow button with PAS. Push and HOLD the UP arrow button to switch on both headlight and taillight. The LCD display will also illuminate. Push and hold the UP arrow again to switch both lights off. -
POWER GLIDE
Power Glide shares the DOWN arrow button with PAS. Push and HOLD the DOWN button to engage the ‘Power Glide System.’ The bike will move forward at up to 3mph for a few seconds to assist in walking the bike when required. -
BELL
A traditional vintage bell to warn pedestrians & traffic of your approach. -

BRAKES
All Wildsyde® E-Cruisers are equipped with hydraulic disc brakes and motor inhibitors. When either front, rear or both brakes are applied, the inhibitors automatically disable power to the motor until the brakes are released.
POWER RUN-ON
It is normal for the bike to ‘run on’ as power momentarily dissipates from the electric motor after pedaling. Be sure to anticipate this, applying the brakes as necessary. -
LCD DISPLAY
Includes Battery Capacity Level, Pedal Assist (PAS), Speed, Trip/Total Distance, and Wattage. See manual. -
USB CHARGING PORT
Charge your phone or other device whilst you ride with a cable into the USB port located at the base of the LCD. -

GEARS UP & DOWN
Change between 1-7 gears using the (+) button and (–) lever on the right side of the handlebars. Use lower gears at slower speeds and vice versa. -
THROTTLE (CLASS 2)
Carefully press throttle with your thumb for instant acceleration without pedaling, making sure to release when you reach the desired speed.
B. SEAT ADJUSTMENT
To adjust the seat post to the required height, undo the seat post clamp
lever, slide the saddle up or down to the desired height and then close the
lever on the seat clamp securely.
C. TIRE PRESSURES
Ensure tires are inflated to recommended 2545psi depending on rider weight,
type of tires, and terrain. Please refer to the manual for more advice.
REMOVING THE BATTERY
Remove the battery from its storage tank to charge separately, and/or to avoid
exposure to unnecessary excessive heat or cold. To remove, simply unlock the
battery tank with the key(s) supplied, unplug the two cables on the battery,
undo the velcro straps and carefully remove. See the manual for important
information on battery care.
PLAN YOUR RIDE
Ensure to plan your rides that leave enough battery power for your return
journey or to a destination where the bike can be recharged. As a guide, a
fully charged battery can provide a range of 40-50 miles of smooth riding with
PAS. Please refer to the manual for more information.
ALWAYS WEAR A HELMET
Always wear an approved helmet when riding your bike, and follow the helmet
manufacturer’s instructions for fit, use, and care.
