INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on the purchase of your new e-JOE electric bicycle! We want to make you happy and believe your new e-bike will bring you lots of fun.
We ask that you, please, read this manual thoroughly, paying particular attention to the safety warnings before you start riding your bicycle.
Please, observe traffic regulations and do not lend your bicycle to anyone unfamiliar with it. It can only be legally used on the road by a person aged 14 years and older. e-JOE bikes are not designed for use by children. If you decide to use a child carrier, a child must be wearing a helmet and seated by the carrier manual.
We strongly advise wearing a bicycle helmet at all times when using your e-bike. If you are unfamiliar with cycling, we suggest taking a cycling proficiency course before using your bicycle.
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.
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.
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 your tire pressure. The required tire pressure level is indicated on the side of each tire. 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 significantly reduces reflexes and limits your ability to ride safely. Even a small amount of alcohol limits your ability to be safe on the road.
Please, note that small details or components 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

KODA electric bicycle is shipped 98% assembled. In order to fully assemble the bike and prepare it for the first use, follow these simple steps:

Step 1: Packing Material
Remove all packing and protective material and put aside. Do not discard the box or any shipping material until you test the bike and make certain it is in good working order.

Step 2: Handlebar
Stand the main body of the electric bike on the kickstand. Make sure that the fork that holds the front wheel is pointing forward. Unscrew the face plate of the handlebar’s stem. Insert the handlebar into the stem housing and attach the face place back into place. Center the handlebar and tighten the face plate bolts so that the handlebar does not move. Adjust the LCD display if necessary.

Step 3: Wire Harness
The earlier bike editions do not require connecting the wires after unpacking. However, if you have purchased the latest edition of the bike (2018), it is necessary to connect the main wire harness with the bike components. To connect the electric wires, first, stand in the front of the bike and locate the main wire harness with the green e-JOE logo. Connect the wires by matching the colors AND aligning the arrows: LCD display (● green prongs), thumb throttle (● orange prongs), brake levers (● red prongs). Please, see a picture on the right for reference.
Double-check the wires and make sure they are securely connected, the arrows are aligned, and the colors are not visible.

Step 4: Brakes
Test the brake by lifting the front of the electric bike and setting the wheel in motion by turning it and apply the brake at the handlebar to stop it. If you could not set the wheel in free motion, or could not stop it when applying the brake you need to readjust by increasing or decreasing the clearance between the brake pads and wheel.

ASSEMBLY

Brake Precautions:

  • Don’t brake too strongly or suddenly, as it will make it easier for you to lose balance and fall down.
  • Remember which wheel is controlled by which brake.
  • Incline your body backward to reduce the influence of inertia.
  • Adjust the brakes properly, if damages exist, such as brake pads that are ground flat, please, service appropriately.
  • Check whether the braking power cut-off and brake function are in good condition.

Step 5: Installing the Seat and Pedals
Insert the stem of the seat into the seat column of the main body frame; use the built in the lever to tighten the stem. Be sure not to 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.

To attach pedals, begin by identifying the right and left pedals. Look for “L” and “R” markings on the axle, 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 left crank. Right threaded pedals (threads sloping upward to the right) go to right crank. See image if in doubt (Left: left-hand threads on a left pedal. Right: right-hand threads on a right pedal).

ASSEMBLY 1

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 proper pressure.

Step 6: Inserting and Removing the Battery
Make sure that the battery is properly seated against its housing connector base. Insert the lock key into the slot on the battery. Turn the key and without releasing it remove/lock the battery. To see the battery charge level, click the button at the top of the battery and the charge indicator will display the charge level; or turn on LCD on the handlebar to check the charge.

NOTE: The keys provided are ONLY 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 Precautions:

● Do not touch the two poles of the battery with your hands when the battery is removed for charging. The two battery poles should not be touched with any other metal or other material that conducts electricity.
● While charging, put the battery in a secure place where children cannot reach it.
● Do not use any other charger other than the one that came with your electric bike. If you need another charger, contact your local dealer or e-JOE Bicycle.
● Do not attempt to open or repair your charger, the electronics contain high pressure circuits, so do not dismantle by yourself without a professional.
● Avoid any contact with water while charging; prevent liquids, metal, and metal fillings from permeating the charger, and be careful to not drop or hit the charger which could damage its components.
● 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.
● To prevent premature failure of your battery and for battery warranty to remain in effect, it is RECOMMENDED to charge and discharge your battery at least once per month. Do NOT use your battery in a very low state.
● It is normal that the distance range will reduce as a result of low temperatures.
● Never dispose of batteries in a fire because they may explode.

GENERAL OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Before You Ride for the First Time:

● Check that the handlebar and handlebar stem are properly tightened.
● Check all other nuts and bolts and fixings are properly tightened, paying particular attention to the motor fixings, kickstand, yoke, and steering head bearings.
● Check that the brakes and brake levers are functioning properly.
● Check that tire pressures are 60 psi/ 4.1 bar and that tires are not damaged.
● Remove the plastic tabs from the head and tail lights to activate the batteries. Check that the lights.
● Make sure the battery is fully charged: load battery into bicycle and turn on by pressing the ON/OFF button on the LCD display.

During Riding: Instructions and Tips

● Once the bike is powered ON, the rider can begin the ride. To activate the pedal assist system and throttle, increase PAS level to 1. Do not power ON until you are ready to go.
○ Squeezing the hand brake will automatically cut the power to the motor.
● To get the furthest distance, it is recommended to pedal the bicycle with the Pedal Assist System ON.
● When riding down hills, do not turn off power, otherwise, the controller and motor will be easily damaged.
● When riding your e-bike and when the battery power is low, it is recommended to pedal your e-bike as much as possible and get the battery charged up as soon as you get to an electrical outlet.
● Turn off the power and remove the key while parking. If you decide to push your bike for any reason, make sure to turn the power off so you don’t automatically turn the throttle on and make the electrical bicycle start suddenly and cause an accident.
● To help get the best distance out of your electric bike, refrain from unnecessary braking and coast as much as possible.

It’s important for your safety and performance to understand how things work on your bicycle and make absolutely 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 the first ride. If you have even the slightest doubt about your knowledge or bike’s assembly, talk to your dealer.

MAINTENANCE

Like any other mean of transportation, electric bicycle and its components are subject to wear and tear. The rate of wear depends on care and maintenance and the way of use (mileage, terrain, weather conditions, etc.). 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 and to follow any assembly and maintenance instructions.

  • 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 retailer.
  • Wheel spokes should be adjusted every 300 miles of riding.
  • Handlebar and saddle posts should never be raised beyond the maximum indicated by the safety lines around tubes.
  • 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 easily adjust the chain tension by loosening the rear axle nuts slightly and adjusting the tension bolts. Make sure that the chain runs freely and retighten the axle nuts.
  • KODA is equipped with the hydraulic brake system which should be regularly inspected. 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 manufacturer’s instructions.
  • DO NOT ride the bike if the oil is leaking as the system may suddenly lose braking power.
  • Disc brake calipers, rotors, and brake pads get extremely hot after 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 the service.
  • 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.
  • Leaving a bicycle standing in the open and/or not using it for longer periods of time (more than 3 months) 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/or 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.

WATER

  • Your electric bicycle is rain and splash resistant. Use caution; do not operate a bicycle under very bad/heavy weather conditions. Electric components, such as the motor, battery, and controller, MUST NOT be submerged in water.
  • To prevent rust or corrosion, dry off bicycle and components after riding in wet weather and store bike and battery in a dry location.
  • To avoid electric shock and damage to your product, do not charge the device while it is wet or in an area where it could get wet. Do not handle bicycle, scooter, charger or cords with wet hands while charging.
