IMPORTANCE
When using the electric bicycle, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:

Battery and charging

Charge the battery before your first ride.
Charging is only allowed at 0°C~45°C, and discharging is only allowed at -20°C~60°C. The battery must be kept dry. It is strictly prohibited to put the battery in acidic or alkaline liquid. Rain must be avoided, and it shall be kept away from fire, heat and high temperature environment. It is strictly prohibited to reverse the battery’s positive and negative poles or damage them, plug in the battery or let it suffer from short circuit. Please use the original charger when charging. The charging must not last more than 6 hours, and the charging current does not exceed 2A. When not in use for a long time, please keep the battery in a cool and dry place, and charge it for five hours every month. Users must follow the instructions when charging, otherwise they will be at their own risk. Attention shall be paid to the type of battery to which the charger is compatible and the applicable voltage, and mixing is strictly prohibited. When charging, it shall be placed in a ventilated environment. It is strictly prohibited to charge in a residential building and in an enclosed space or in a hot environment. When charging, insert the battery first, and then supply the mains power; when fully charged, cut off the mains power first, and then unplug the battery connector. When the green light is on, the power shall be cut off in time. It is forbidden to connect the charger to the AC power supply without load for a long time without charging. During the charging process, if the indicator light is abnormal, a peculiar smell occurs, or the charger case is overheating, stop charging immediately and repair or replace the charger. During the use and storage of the charger, be careful not to let foreign matter enter, especially avoid inflow of water or other liquids, so as to avoid short circuit inside the charger. The charger should not be carried with the vehicle. If it is necessary to carry it, it shall be placed in the tool box after shock absorption treatment. Do not disassemble or replace the accessories in the charger by yourself.

Riding:
Do not use until you have read the instructions carefully to understand the performance of the product; do not lend it to anyone who can not use the product. Before riding, check if the brakes are working. When braking, please apply the rear brake first, and then apply the front brake. Pay attention to the tightness of the brakes. When you find that the brakes are too loose, you can use a internal hexagonal wrench to tighten it. Note that the braking distance shall be increased when you are riding in rain or snow.

Be sure to wear a safety helmet while riding it, follow the traffic rules, and do not drive on motorway. Please check the tire pressure before riding. The recommended tire pressure is 40~65PSI.The speed at downhill and non-brick pavement does not exceed 15km/h.Be careful not to bump the motor vigorously when it is used, and keep the spindle lubricated. Do not ride at more than the maximum load of the car body (maximum load: 120kg) After use, the car cannot be parked in the building’s entrance hall, evacuation stairs, or emergency exit. It must be properly parked in accordance with safety regulations. No one-handed riding!

Your First Ride
Please be VERY CAREFUL when you are ready to get on your e-bike for the first time because that the e-bike moves significantly faster than a regular bicycle at active power-assisted mode. Take your e-bike to an area with a lot of open space before you start. Do not start pedaling hard as soon as you get on the e-bike (as you normally would be with a regular bicycle), as the e-bike will accelerate under pedal-assist mode and you may be unprepared for the sudden increase in speed. However, after a few times, you will enjoy using the pedal- assisted function.

3. Headlight: Referring to Figure 2, press the button on the right to turn on/off the headlight.

4. PAS mode: You must turn on the battery to use the e-bike in pedal-assisted mode. power assist is triggered when you pedal forward, and power assist stops when you stop pedaling, sometime would be delay. If no power is needed, turn off the power of the battery.

5. Hand Throttle Control: You do not need to pedal the e-bike if you use the hand throttle. You control the throttle by twisting it from its resting position, the farther the throttle switch is from its resting position, the more power is delivered to the motor to accelerate the e-bike.

6. PAS Speed change: Referring to Figure 2, press the “+” and “-” button to change the current output of the controller thus change the speed.

7. Gear shift: Referring to Figure 3, turn the speed change shifter while the vehicle is moving to achieve speed change from gear 1 to gear 7 and vise versa.

8. Cruise Control : Cruise Control will be triggered when you holding thumb throttle for 8 seconds at the same speed, and it will be released by braking/pedaling or throttling.

9. Removing the Battery: Referring to Figure 3, turn the key to the unlock position and pull out the battery.

10. Maximizing the Riding Range
    Many factors affect the rate of use of the electrical energy and the riding range.

    • ² You should fully charge the battery before a long journey.
    • ² Rough road conditions and hilly terrain will consume more energy.
    • ² Frequent change of speed will consume more energy.
    • ² Carrying more weight on the e-bike will consume more energy.
    • ² Keeping the tires properly inflated and keeping the e-bike clean and well lubricated will save energy.
    • ² Making sure that both wheels move freely when brakes are not applied
    • will save energy. You should check brake adjustments frequently.
    • ² Pedaling as you ride will consume less electrical energy and increase the riding range.
    • ² When the battery is turned off, your e-bike functions as a regular bicycle.
      If you embark on a very long journey, you might want to turn off the battery for long stretches where the road is level or downhill and pedal
      the e-bike as a regular bicycle so that you can conserve electrical energy stored in the battery.

Care and Maintenance

You should, in general, take care of your e-bike the way you would with a regular bicycle by keeping it dry, clean and the moving parts well lubricated. You should also avoid parking your e-bike in exposed areas whenever possible.
You should check the effectiveness of the brakes before each use.

For your e-Bike, you should also take note of the following:

• ² Your e-bike is designed for regular country road use for a single person.
  Using your e-bike for extreme maneuvers, such as extreme off-road use, jumping, or carrying the excessive load will damage the e-bike and could cause serious injury.

• ² Do not use high-pressure water streams to clean your e-bike, as water might seep inside the motor or the wiring compartment and cause rusting of electrical parts or short circuits.

• ² Avoid parking your e-bike outside when there is rain or snow. At the end of a trip where there was rain or snow, bring the e-bike inside and use a clean, dry towel to eliminate any wetness.

• ² Be sure you do not lose both keys and remote controls. If you lost one key, you should immediately make a copy as a back-up. If you lost both keys, you will be unable to remove the battery from the e-bike. If you lost both remote control and the keys, you can’t turn on the bike.

Special Care for the Battery and the Charger

• ² Use only the supplied charger to charge your battery. Do not use an unauthorized substitute. If your charger is lost or damaged, contact your dealer to order a replacement.
• ² Do not open or alter the battery or the battery charger.
• ² Do not place the battery near fire or corrosive substances. Do not immerse in water or other liquids.
• ² Avoid subjecting the battery from high temperatures, such as directly under the hot sun, for prolonged periods of time.
• ² Do not connect (short circuit) the two poles of the battery.
• ² After much use, your battery’s charge holding capacity will decrease. If you find that your battery does not hold sufficient charge even for short trips, you should contact your dealer to order a replacement. Under normal use, the battery will undergo 500 charging and discharging cycles.
• ² If the battery will not be used for an extended period of time, charge it fully and recharge it every month. Store it in a cool place.
• ² Your e-bike battery is engineered with precision for high capacity and long useful life. We do not recommend that you use it to power other electrical devices. Improper use of the battery will damage the battery and shorten its useful life and may cause a fire or an explosion.
