EVELO Dash Quick Start Guide

Welcome to your EVELO Dash!
You’ve made a great decision to purchase the best electric bike on the market, and we encourage you to read through the linked display panel manual and user guide. We know you’re eager to get started, so we want to point out a few quick tips.

A quick note on assembly:
Your dash is fully assembled and shipped in the folded position. Unfolding the Dash and setting the seat and handlebar position is all that is necessary. Is your Dash unpacked, unfolded and ready to go? Great! Let’s go over a few key items:

• Step 1:   You’ll need power!
  The battery charge port is on the belt side of the main tube, covered with a rubber cover. Pull the cover back and charge the battery with the included charger. We recommend fully charging your bike before your first ride.
  Note: The battery can be charged on or off the bike. To remove the battery, first fold the bike then insert and turn the key clockwise, then pull the battery directly out towards the back. To install, insert the battery from the rear and give a firm push until the battery stops and turn the key counter-clockwise to lock it in place.

• Step 2: Pr e Ride Check:
  Before your initial ride, please check the following items:

• Wheels should spin freely.
  There may be some slight rubbing of the brakes, which typically subsides once the brakes are used a few times.

• Belt tension: check the belt for appropriate tension. With a firm press in the middle of the belt, there should be approximately 3/8” of play, +/- ¼ of an inch. If your belt needs adjusted, please contact EVELO for instructions to adjust belt tension.

• Squeeze both brake levers to ensure that the brakes can be fully secured before the levers hit the handlebars. Because the hydraulic fluid path is longer to the rear brake, the rear lever may have a bit more travel, which is typical.

• Ensure that the bolts securing the both wheels are tight.

• Check your tire pressure.
  Because of the wider tires, it will likely be lower than you are accustomed. While the maximum pressure is relatively high, best performance is found between 28 to 34 PSI for riders 140 lbs to 280 lbs. For every 20 lbs over 140 lbs, increase by approximately 1 PSI.

• Ensure that your handlebar is raised to a comfortable level, but is not over
  the maximum.
  The stem must not be past the minimum insertion line:

• Step 3:  Familiarize yourself with the controls.
  Brakes:  Y our Dash includes front and rear brake levers equipped with cutoff switches which turn off power to the motor when the brakes are applied. It’s recommended to squeeze both brakes with equal power at the same time for stopping.
  Shifter:
  The Sturmey Archer 5 speed twist shifter on the right hand side controls your gears. 5 is the largest gear and suitable for flat and gently terrain and provides the highest speeds. In order to shift into easy gears, it is recommended to briefly stop pedaling before shifting. The gear shifter may feel relatively stiff for the first 50 miles or so but will break in with use. Grasp the shifter firmly before shifting up into an easier gear. Less pressure is required when shifting down back into a larger gear
  Throttle: The throttle is on the left hand side, and operational as soon as you power on the bike. Handle with care! The throttle can be useful for starting, particularly on a hill, but it is best to familiarize yourself with the bike prior to using throttle control.
  Pedal Assist: There are 5 levels of assist. You can access these with the two buttons on the left side of the three button panel. The “+” increases the level, and “-” will lower it. We strongly recommend starting in level 1 or 2 until you’re used to the handling of your Galaxy 500. The buttons can be pressed while riding

• Step 4:   A djust your seat:
  You can raise or lower the seat by opening the quick release lever and adjusting the post up or down. There should be a slight bend in your leg at full extension, though some riders prefer to have the seat a bit lower until they are comfortable with the bike. If you are unable to get your seat low enough, you may need to cut your seat post. This can be done with a sharp hacksaw blade. Please contact us for details.

• Step 5: Power up your bike: On the left side of your handlebars is a 4 button switch. The “o” on the lower right hand side of the button panel is used to toggle power on and off. Hold it for 2-3 seconds, until your display panel lights up.

• Step 6: Get on and ride! We recommend doing your first ride on flat terrain in an uncrowded area. Some tips for riding your Galaxy 500:

• Start slow! If this is your first time on an electric bike we recommend using a low level of assist until you are comfortable with the ride and handling.

• Start in Pedal Assist 1 or 2. You can use a bit of throttle to get going if you need a boost. A little goes a long way.

• The level of pedal assist can be adjusted while riding. Higher levels of throttle will provide more power and less range.
