JADE USER MANUAL
Please, read the manual in its entirety
before operating your new e-JOE electric bicycle

INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on the purchase of your new e-JOE electric bicycle! We want to make you happy and believe your new bicycle will bring you lots of fun.
We ask that you read this manual thoroughly, paying special attention to the safety warnings.

Please, observe traffic regulations and do not lend your bicycle to anyone unfamiliar with it. The minimum age requirement for riding electric bicycles ranges from 14 to 16 years and is a direct function of the e-bike’s motor wattage and maximum speed limit. Be sure to check local bicycle laws, guidelines, and standards.

Remember that this manual makes no representations about the safe use of bicycles under all conditions. There are risks associated with the use of any bike which cannot be predicted or avoided, and which are the sole responsibility of the rider.

We strongly advise you to always wear a bicycle helmet when using your e-bike. If you are unfamiliar with cycling, we suggest taking a cycling proficiency course. If you decide to install and use a child carrier, a child must be wearing a helmet and seated as per the carrier manual instructions.

Before you ride your bike for the first time, please, make sure it is correctly assembled. You can do this either by taking it to your nearest bicycle shop or by inspecting it yourself if you are proficient in bicycle mechanics. You must make sure you have the pedals, saddle, handlebar, and other items correctly fitted, and the brakes function properly.

Test your brakes every time before using the bicycle and remember the bicycle will not stop as quickly in wet or icy conditions as it would on a dry road.

Frequently check tire pressure and inflate as needed to a level recommended by a tire manufacturer. Low tire pressure will result in damage to the tires and will massively reduce your speed and range.

NEVER drink alcohol and ride your electric bike. The use of alcohol greatly reduces reflexes and limits your ability to ride safely. Even a small amount of alcohol will limit your ability to be safe on the road.

Please, note that small details or components of e-JOE electric bikes may variate as we continuously update our product throughout the year. This does not affect basic installation and assembly.

e-JOE cares for the environment and encourages its customers to dispose of e-JOE products per local regulations. When you need to dispose of a lithium- ion battery, please, either dispose of the unwanted battery through an approved recycler or send it back to us and we will make sure it is properly recycled.

Happy cycling!

ASSEMBLY

NOTICE: The following assembly steps are only a general guide to assist in the assembly of your e-JOE Bike and are not a complete or comprehensive manual of all aspects of the assembly, maintenance, and repair. We recommend you consult a certified bicycle mechanic to assist in the assembly, repair, and maintenance of your bicycle.

JADE Comfort Cruiser is shipped 95% assembled. To fully assemble the bike and prepare it for use, follow these steps:

STEP 1: UNBOXING

Place the box on the floor as per the “This Side Up” sign on the side of the box.
Prepare the following tools: scissors/cutter, hex key set, adjustable wrench, and tire inflator.
Open the box from the top. If the box has staples on the top fold, be cautious when opening as they may be sharp.
Remove top packing material and a charger box. Carefully remove the bike out of the box by lifting it up or by placing the box on a side and sliding the bike out.
Remove all remaining protective material and put them aside. Be extra careful when working with the scissors/cutter to avoid scratches.

NOTE: Do not discard the box or any shipping material until you test the bike and make sure it is in good working order.

STEP 2: HANDLEBAR INSTALLATION

Stand the main body of the electric bike on the rear wheel and the front suspension fork (tip: to avoid scratches, cover the surface under the fork or the entire bicycle). Use a hex key to loosen 4 stem bolts and remove a faceplate. Orient the handlebar accordingly and place it in the stem groove. Place the faceplate over the bar and thread the bolts in evenly to secure the bar in the stem. Check the wires to make sure they are securely connected.

STEP 3: FRONT FENDER INSTALLATION

Remove 2 bolts from the suspension fork end eyelets and 1 top bolt holding the headlight. Place the front fender in the middle under the crown of the fork. Guide the top bolt through the headlight bracket, fender mounting tab, and fork. Adjust the tab position to prevent tire rub. Use a nut to tighten the bolt. Attach the wire fender stabilizers (brackets) to fork end eyelets using the remaining nuts and bolts.

STEP 4: FRONT WHEEL INSTALLATION

Remove protective covers from the sides of the front wheel as well as a temporary support axle from the fork ends. Locate the included quick-release axle. Loosen and remove a threaded cap and one spring from the side of the axle. Insert the skewer rod into the wheel hub while keeping the second spring at the quick-release lever side. Slide the removed spring onto the axle with a narrow end inward. Screw the cap on.

Slide the front wheel evenly up into the fork dropouts while guiding the disc rotor between the brake pads. While holding the quick-release lever in place, tighten the cap on the opposite side until you feel resistance when closing the lever. It should feel tight, but it should not be too difficult to close the lever. Push the lever into a closed position. Make sure the wheel is securely installed, does not “wobble”, and spins freely.

STEP 5: PEDALS, SEAT, AND TIRES

To attach pedals, begin by identifying the right and left pedals. Look for “L” and “R” markings on the axles, wrench flats, or stickers. If no “L” and “R” markings are seen, use pedal thread direction to identify pedals. Left threaded pedals (threads sloping upward to the left) go to the left crank. Right threaded pedals (threads sloping upward to the right) go to the right crank. See the image on the right if in doubt (Left: left-hand threads on the left pedal. Right: right-hand threads on the right pedal).
e-JOE JADE Electric Comfort Cruiser Bicycle --e-JOE JADE Electric Comfort
C Be sure to grease the pedal threads before installation. Choose the appropriate pedal and start it into the correct crank arm by hand turning the pedal axle toward the front of the bike (both pedals thread in this direction). If it will not start, do not force it – you are probably trying to install the left pedal on the right side or vice versa. Thread both pedals into the crank arms as far as you can by hand. Then fully tighten them with a wrench so they do not loosen from pedal pressure. Be careful to not overtighten the pedals as it may cause difficulties with their removal in the future.

Inflate the tires to the proper pressure.

Adjust the seat height to a comfortable position. Make sure the seat post quick-release clamps are properly tightened. Never exceed the safety mark on the stem when finding the appropriate seat height. If used inappropriately, serious damage/injury may be caused to the rider (go to page 14 for more details).

FINAL PRE-RIDE CHECK

Check the handlebar and handlebar stem are properly tightened.
Check all nuts and bolts and make sure they are properly tightened, paying particular attention to the front wheel axle nuts, rear wheel axle nuts, kickstand, yoke, and steering head bearings.
Test the brakes to ensure they function properly.
Make sure the tires are properly inflated and have no signs of damage.
Make sure the battery is properly seated against its housing connector base, locked, and fully charged.
Turn on the LCD Display on the handlebar as per instructions on page 9.
Turn the head- and tail lights on.
Wear a helmet and… continue reading this manual thoroughly, paying particular attention to the safety warnings before you start riding your bicycle.

For your safety, you need to understand how things work on your bicycle and make certain, all parts are correctly assembled. We urge you to consult your dealer before the first use and have your dealer check your work before you ride the bike. If you have even the slightest doubt about your knowledge or bike’s assembly, talk to your dealer or e-JOE Support Team.

LCD

FAQ

Why does the display not turn on? Check the connections between the display and the controller. Make sure the battery is charged. The display shows an error. What to do? The error code will disappear once the issue associated with it is resolved. Check bicycle components and wires for any signs of damage. Disconnect and re-connect the main wire harness at the handlebar, recharge battery, and check LCD again. Contact your dealer or e-JOE for further instructions.
For more information about the display and its advanced settings, refer to the official LCD manual.

THROTTLE

JADE Comfort Cruiser is equipped with a throttle that allows you to speed up to 25 mph without pedaling at all. The thumb throttle is mounted on the left side of the handlebar.
The throttle is activated once the LCD Display is turned on. To use the throttle and apply power to the motor, slowly press its lever down with a thumb. The throttle provides smooth acceleration when pressed slowly and gradually. The throttle mechanism allows to activate pull power from a stop, and inexperienced users should take extra care when first applying the throttle. We recommend beginning the ride with pedaling first and then applying the throttle. Always be aware of your surroundings. Do not use the throttle unless you are ready to ride.

PEDAL ASSIST SYSTEM (PAS)

A pedal assistance feature is a powerful option, and users must understand how to operate it before the first ride.

JADE offers 5 levels of cadence PAS. The cadence sensor is attached to the bottom bracket behind the pedal crank arm. Switching from level 0 to 1 activates the pedal assist sensor. As soon as the pedals start rotating (PAS level 1-5), the sensor catches the signal and turns on the motor to provide a cyclist with an appropriate amount of power. The higher the level of PAS, the more power it provides. The electric motor can assist up to 25 mph and cuts out if pedaling faster than that. Squeezing the brake levers will automatically cut the power to the motor.

It is recommended to pedal the bicycle with the PAS mode ON, choose appropriate gear, refrain from unnecessary braking, and coast as much as possible. When riding downhill, do not turn the power off, otherwise, the controller and motor can be damaged. As a precaution, switch the PAS level to 0 or turn off the LCD after riding to avoid accidental activating of the throttle or PAS.

BATTERY & CHARGER

BATTERY

JADE e-bike is delivered with the battery pre-installed inside the frame and partially charged. A charger is shipped in a separate box. A unique set of keys is provided. A lock keeps the battery in place and provides safety from theft. Before each ride, make sure that the battery is properly seated against its housing connector base, locked, and has plenty of charge.

To check the level of battery charge, use the charge indicator on the LCD screen when it is turned ON. The battery is removable and can be charged either inside or outside of the frame.
To charge the battery when it remains installed in the frame, open a side rubber cover on the right side of the frame to access the charging port.
To remove the battery, insert the key into the lock on the left side of the bike frame. Turn the key counter-clockwise. Locate a safety tab above the battery; press the tab gently to the left while preparing to catch the battery as it falls out.
To reinstall the battery, slide the bottom portion of the battery into the housing base. Push the top portion of the battery up into the frame until it clicks in place. Turn the key clockwise to secure the battery and protect it from theft.
NOTE: The keys provided are used to lock and unlock the battery. Turning the key DOES NOT act as an ignition for the battery or motor. Please, keep in mind that e-JOE does not carry copies of the keys. It is recommended to store one key in a safe location in case the first key is misplaced or lost.

BATTERY CHARGER

Always use the charger provided by e-JOE for your specific bicycle and battery type. If you plan on moving from the USA, double-check the charger specifications and the local standards

CHARGING PROCEDURE

Place the charger and battery indoors in a dry ventilated area away from sunlight with the temperature 50-80F.
Locate the battery charging port.
Connect the AC input plug into the outlet. The LED light on the charger should turn GREEN (Charge).
Connect the DC output plug from the charger to the battery port. The LED light on the charger should turn RED (Charge in the process).
When the battery is fully charged, the LED light on the charger should turn GREEN (Fully Charged).
Unplug the charger from the battery first and then from the outlet.

While the charger automatically stops charging when the battery is full, we strongly recommend to not leave the battery connected to the charger and outlet for a lengthy period. The average time for charging from low to full is approximately 4 to 6 hours. As the battery ages after 2-3 years of use, you may notice increased charging times and decreased range. If the battery does not seem to be charging as usual, discontinue charging/using it and contact e-JOE or dealer for assistance.

BASIC BATTERY CARE & MAINTENANCE

Keep your lithium battery charged. Lithium batteries are generally best kept 50-80% charged. Do NOT use your battery in a very low state. Completely discharging a lithium battery below safe levels can cause irreparable damage to the cells and diminish its capacity. If you do “flatten” your battery, fully re-charge it as soon as possible. To prevent the battery from irreparable damage, never leave a battery wholly depleted or drained.
Keep your electric bike battery clean and dry. Contacts on the battery should be clean and dry to avoid oxidation and corrosion. Check the contacts every few months.
Keep your lithium battery cool. The lithium battery is best stored in cool conditions. While storing batteries in cool conditions is good, remember to warm the battery to room temperature before charging or using it on the bike.
Plan for the long-term storage of your electric bike. If you know you are not going to use your battery for a few months, it is wise to take some extra precautions. To reduce the loss of capacity over time, yet still preserve the battery, it is best to store it at about 80% charge. You can estimate this by riding your e-bike for about 20% of the average distance with a fully-charged battery. It’s best then to store the battery in a cool well-ventilated place. To prevent premature failure of your battery and for the warranty on your battery to remain in effect, it is recommended to charge the battery at least once a month.

IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNINGS!

Connect the charger to the outlet first, and then to the battery. Connecting the unplugged charger directly to the battery may create a spark.
While charging, place the battery and charger in a secure place where children or pets cannot reach it.
Avoid any contact with water while charging; prevent liquids, metal, and metal filings from permeating the charger.
Do not put anything on top of the charger while charging; it must be well ventilated to allow the heat that is generated to dissipate.
Stop charging the battery immediately if you notice a peculiar smell or the charger gets too hot to touch.
Do not touch the poles of the battery. The battery poles should not be touched with any other metal or other material that conducts electricity.
Be careful not to drop or hit the battery or the charger as it may damage its components.
It is normal for the distance range to reduce as a result of cells aging or battery use in low or high temperatures.
Do not attempt to open or repair your charger or battery. Doing so voids the warranty and can result in a safety hazard. Contact your local e-JOE Bike Dealer or e-JOE technical support.
When you need to dispose of a lithium-ion battery, either dispose of the unwanted battery through an approved recycler or send it to e-JOE. Never dispose of batteries in a fire because they may explode.

BRAKES JADE

Comfort Cruiser has a hydraulic disk brake system installed on both wheels, front and rear, to control the braking of the bicycle. The system has an electrical cut-off function, an important safety feature of all e-JOE bikes. It disengages the motor when the brake levers are squeezed. Therefore, it is critical to make sure the brake system works properly.

Test your brakes every time before using the bicycle and remember the bicycle will not stop as quickly in wet or icy conditions as it would on a dry road.
Remember which wheel is controlled by which brake. Do not brake too strongly or abruptly, as it will make it easier for you to fall. Incline your body backward to reduce the influence of inertia.
The brake system requires regular cleaning, maintenance, and adjustment. Have your brakes inspected and serviced regularly by an experienced mechanic (every six months to a year should be sufficient for occasional cyclists). Take your bike in more often if you ride or use brakes frequently.
The brake system includes brake pads which gradually wear down due to normal use. When the brake pads wear out, replace them as soon as possible.
With use over time, brake fluid will become contaminated with dirt and moisture and should be replaced. It is recommended to use mineral oil for brake fluid replacement. For additional information, follow the brakes manufacturer’s instructions.
DO NOT ride the bike if the brake oil is leaking as the system may suddenly lose braking power.
The bike should not be stored or turned upside down, as air may enter the brake lines. If the bike has been upside down, allow it to sit several minutes before use, and test the levers by pulling with force.
Over time disc brakes lose some of their effectiveness. This leads to longer response times, less efficient braking, and less bike control. If you start experiencing such issues, hear a squeaking noise when braking, lack stopping power, refrain from using the bike and bring it to a local bike shop for inspection & service.

DRIVETRAIN & GEARS

The drivetrain of the bicycle consists of all parts that you use to push or pull the bike along. The key components are the pedals, cranks, chain, freewheel, gear shifter, and rear derailleur.

Gears are there to enable you to maintain a comfortable pedaling speed (or cadence) regardless of the gradient or terrain, something that single gear is not capable of. JADE comes with the seven-gear system. To change the gears while riding, press + or – of the shifter on the right side of the handlebar until you reach your desired gear. The gears are switched by the rear derailleur located on the right side of the rear wheel. The derailleur moves the chain up or down the freewheel setting it to the desired gear.

The gear setting is displayed on the shifter. The higher the gear, the more resistance is given when pedaling.
The combination of pedaling and gear affects the battery range when riding with pedal-assist. If you are riding uphill or in the areas where it becomes difficult to pedal, shift to a lower gear. If you find that you are moving faster than you can comfortably pedal, try moving to a higher gear. This will help conserve battery power and achieve comfortable pedaling.
It is easier to start riding if the bike is set to a lower gear.
If you experience “skipping” of gears, noisy switching, bring the bike to an experienced mechanic for adjustment.
Keeping your derailleur, chain, and freewheel clean, lubricated, and moving freely will expand their service life and avoid costly repairs.
If you need to service the pedals, follow instructions on page 8 for their removal and installation.

SEAT

Appropriate adjustments can be made to seat (or saddle) & handlebar height according to personal preference.

QUICK-RELEASE CLAMP

The clamps that hold handlebar or seat posts in place are called quick-release clamps. If you need to tighten or loosen the clamp, use an adjustment knob located on the opposite side from the quick-release lever. Open the lever and turn the adjustment knob clockwise. As you tighten the adjustment knob, you’ll be able to close the lever more securely. In case you tighten the knob too much, you won’t be able to close the lever at all. Repeat this process until you find a “happy medium” point where the lever is tight enough to hold the post, but not so tight that you cannot close the lever all the way.

MAX MARK LINE
When adjusting the height of the seat or handlebar posts, it is forbidden to expose the MAX mark line (also called, the safety line or infix notation). If used inappropriately, it may cause serious injury to the rider.

Crllu

SEAT HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
Stand over the frame and sit on the saddle. Step on the pedal with your heel. Rotate the pedal to its lowest position while straightening the leg. The height is best suited when the leg is straightened out with a slightly bent knee. If the leg is excessively bent, raise the seat. If your knee is fully extended, lower the seat.

To do so, unlatch the quick-release lever on the seat tube and move the vertical stem to the appropriate height, making sure not to exceed the safety MAX mark. Point the front tip of the seat towards the handlebar along the frame. Close the quickrelease lever while making sure it’s tight enough to keep the seat post in place.

SEAT POSITION ADJUSTMENT
The seat should be at a neutral position allowing the rider to sit on the middle portion of it without sliding forward onto the nose or backward off the rear of the saddle. The seat position can be adjusted by loosening the seat clamp under the seat and sliding the seat forward or backward. Be sure to loosen the clamp only enough to move the seat. You may need to testride the bike with the new adjustment several times until you make sure this seat position is the most comfortable.

GENERAL OPERATION & MAINTENANCE

Like any other means of transportation, electric bicycle and its components are subject to wear and tear. When comparing to regular bicycles, the rate of wear for electric bikes is higher due to its weight and speed; it does not mean the components are defective or of low quality. The rate of wear depends on the way of use (mileage, terrain, weather conditions, etc.), as well as the level of care and maintenance.

The use of a bicycle in competitive events, aggressive riding, riding on severe terrain/climates, riding with heavy loads, commercial activities, and other types of non-standard use can dramatically shorten the life of the bicycle and its components. Be sure to use your bicycle for its intended purpose only.

Always follow the instructions described throughout this manual and abide by local regulations.
If you have the slightest doubt about your knowledge about the bicycle, its assembly or operation, visit the local dealer.
Have the bike inspected by a professional mechanic after the first 60 miles of riding and every 300 miles.
Wheel spokes should be adjusted every 300 miles of riding.
Keep your lithium battery charged, dry, and stored in cool conditions.
Handlebar and saddle posts should never be raised beyond the maximum safety line.
Your bike has a rear derailleur that will automatically tension your chain. However, if the chain becomes loose or frequently comes off the front cog, you can adjust the chain tension by loosening the rear axle nuts slightly and adjusting the tension bolts. Make sure the chain runs freely and retighten the axle nuts.
Disc brake calipers, rotors, and brake pads get extremely hot after bike use. Do not touch these parts after a ride and be sure to allow some time for the brake system to cool down before attempting service.
Bell and reflectors are important safety cycling devices. Check reflectors and their mounting brackets regularly to make sure they are clean, straight, unbroken, and securely mounted.
Ensure handlebar grips are not damaged and properly installed. Loose/damaged grips can cause loss of control and falling.
In case you hear an unusual noise, experience “wobbly” motion of wheels, lack of braking power, intermittent pedal assistance, or other unusual signs when operating the bicycle, stop using it and visit a local dealer for inspection.
Leaving a bicycle standing in the open or not using it for long periods may be subject to increased wear through weathering and deterioration. You should have your bicycle, and its components checked periodically by your dealer for indicators of stress and potential failure, including cracks, corrosion, deformation, dents, paint peeling, and any other indicators of potential problems, inappropriate use, or abuse. These checks are important to ensure all components function safely and reliably and to help prevent any accidents or injuries to the rider.

IMPORTANT! Do not attempt to open the casings of the battery, motor, or controller; it could be dangerous and will void any warranties by doing so. If you experience a problem, please contact our service department or your local dealer.

WATER

Your electric bicycle is rain and splash resistant. Please, use caution; do not operate your bicycle or leave outside in bad weather conditions.
The electric components, such as the LCD, motor, battery, and controller, MUST NOT be submerged in water.
To prevent rust or corrosion, dry off the bicycle and its components after riding and store the bike and the battery in a dry location. DO NOT turn on the bike after exposure to water. Dry it thoroughly first!
To avoid electric shock and damage to your product, do not charge the battery while it is wet or in an area where it could get wet. Do not handle a bicycle, charger, or cords with wet hands while charging.
