  Pay special attention to the section on battery charging and maintenance.

• Understanding your new E-Bike’s features and operation will help you get maximum enjoyment and safety. By reading this manual before you go on your first ride,
  you’ll know how to get the most out of your new E-Bike.

• It is imperative that you take your first ride on your new E-Bike in a controlled environment, away from cars, obstacles and other cyclists.

WARNING!
Follow these important safety measures to ensure safe riding.

• To ensure your safety, read the user manual carefully and check that all bike parts are perfect before riding.

• Overloading is strictly prohibited. (No more than 300lbs)

• Always recharge the battery immediately after each use. Failure to do so may damage the battery. The charger can remain plugged in for trickle-charge purposes during long periods of storage. For storage periods over one month, the battery should be checked and fully recharged before riding.

• There is a safety power source inside the battery box of this e-bike. Removing the battery box will expose both jacks in the lower end ( positive pole “+” and negative pole “- “). Please do not touch these poles with your hands at the same time (particularly with damp hands). It is prohibited to touch any metal to either pole (i.e., a key, etc.). Doing so will produce an unlimited short-circuit current and will cause severe burns to the body.

• Don’t detach and disassemble spare parts or rebuild this electric bicycle.
  Purchase spare parts from an authorized dealer of SLANE E-Bikes.

• If you find the cut-power function doesn’t happen when using the front or rear brake, have it repaired immediately.

• This E-Bike can normally ride under wet conditions to a depth of water that doesn’t surpass the electric hub center. Allowing the electric hub to be infiltrated by water will cause damage.

HELMETS

• Many Provinces require specific safety devices. It is your responsibility to familiarize yourself with the Province’s laws where you ride and comply with all applicable laws, including adequately equipping yourself and your bike as the law requires.
• It is strongly recommended that you wear a properly fitted bicycle safety helmet at all times when riding your E-Bike.

The correct helmet should:

• Be Comfortable
• Be Lightweight
• Have Good Ventilation
• Fit Correctly
• Cover Your Forehead

REFLECTORS

Your E-Bike comes equipped with front/rear wheel reflectors and four pedal reflectors. Reflectors are essential safety devices designed as an integral part of your E-Bike. Provincial regulations require every bicycle to have front/rear wheel and pedal reflectors. These reflectors pick up and reflect streetlights and car lights in a way that helps you to be seen and recognized as a moving cyclist. Check reflectors and their mounting brackets regularly to make sure they are clean, straight, unbroken and securely mounted. Replace damaged reflectors and straighten or tighten any that are bent or loose.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT RIDING AN E-TRIKE

Riding a Slane three-wheeled E-trike is not the same as riding a two-wheeled Slane E-bike. A Slane E-trike has a broader wheelbase than a two-wheeled Slane E-bike; therefore, it will take longer and more space will be required to complete turns.

Take your E-trike to an open area away from traffic and practice riding it slowly so you get used to it. Practice riding your E-trike straight, then gradually make turns. Be confident before riding on a road. Start with your seat lower than you would on a bicycle to keep your center of gravity lower for more stability until you get used to how the E-trike handles.

Unlike two-wheeled Slane E-bikes, Slane E-trikes do not do well on “edge,” i.e. if you lean over too far and get either of the rear wheels off the ground, you run the risk of rolling the E-bike over. For this reason, you must keep your weight centred over your E-trike to ensure all three wheels are firmly on the ground when making turns or taking tight corners.

You will rely mainly on the handlebars/steering to make turns.
Do not take corners or make turns at high speed on a Slane E-trike.

An E-trike takes up more room on the road than an E-bike. The rear wheels are much wider than your shoulders. Keep an eye out for obstacles ahead of you, taking the width of your back wheels into consideration.

E-trikes do not maneuver as quickly as two-wheeled E-bikes; always ride with caution.
Slane E-trikes should not be ridden off-road, in deep snow or during heavy rainfall.

PEDAL ASSIST & THROTTLES
This E-Bike has an electric pedal-assisted driving system (PAS).The pedal- assisted driving system consists of a driving unit, a battery, a controller, and various electronic components (harness wires, sensors and switches). It is essential to know that when the pedal assist system is on, the driving unit provides power only while you are pedalling. The amount of power supplied by the unit depends on your pedalling force and the assistance model/level you set with the handlebar control unit at any time. When you stop pedalling, the pedal assist system will disengage. In all models/levels, the pedal-assisted driving system reduces progressively. It cuts off as the bike reaches 25KM/h (15.5MPH), or sooner if you stop pedalling. The pedal-assisted driving system re-engages when speed drops below 25KM/H (15.5MPH) as long the pedals are turning.

The ACADIAN is equipped with a twist throttle. The throttle operates by rotating the throttle toward the rider, much like a motorcycle.
The more you twist the throttle, the faster the motor system will propel the bicycle.
DO NOT USE PEDAL ASSIST AND THE TWIST THROTTLE AT THE SAME TIME.

PEDAL INSTALLATION

Pedals are a pair with “R” & “L” (Picture 1): “R” for right, “L” for left. Tighten the pedals in the direction of the threads.

POWERING ON

When the throttle or sensor is engaged (powering the motor), and the E-Bike is in motion, the LCD display will indicate instantaneous line voltage as measured at the battery terminals-not the available energy in the available power in the battery pack.

The line voltage will wing out from a dead stop or going up a steep hill, the motor will be under a high load and may show a reduced number of LED bars.
When the throttle is disengaged (i.e. no power to the motor due to the bicycle being stationary or coasting) LED bars will indicate the battery pack’s voltage.
The voltage of the battery pack will rise when no load is on the motor. The best indication of how much battery life is remaining is to check the LED bars, after reaching cruising speed, on a flat straight road. By doing this, the battery voltage will stabilize and give a more accurate reading.

BATTERY CHARGING

NOTE : YOU CAN CHARGE THE BATTERY WHILE IT’S ON THE BIKE (DURING RIDING SEASON) OR REMOVE THE BATTERY AND CHARGE IT INDOORS (IN COLDER WEATHER/WINTER MONTHS).

• Always be sure to turn the bike power switch to “OFF” after each use. If you leave the power switch in the “ON” position or your product has not been charged for an extended period, the battery may reach a stage when it no longer holds a charge.
• Do not use other brands to charge this battery. Do not use this battery for a different brand of E-Bike.
• The charger has a 110V circuit; please do not dismantle.
• When the charger is being used or stored, prevent liquid or metal from entering the charger. The charger should be free from falling over to avoid injury.
• When using the charger, it should be left unobstructed.
• The charger is for indoor use only. When in use, keep it in a dry, well-ventilated area.
• If you detect an unusual odour or the temperature is too high during charging, stop charging immediately and send it back to the sales department for inspection/repair.

UNLOCKING AND REMOVING THE BATTERY

• Open the quick-release lever on the saddle tube and remove seat and seat post.
• Insert key on the battery case and turn to unlock position.
• Lift the handle on the battery case and carefully lift the battery out.

• Switch off power and remove the key.
• Remove (rotate to open) rubber stopper in the charging hole. Plug the output plug of the charger into the socket of the battery. Then plug the power input plug (110-220V) into a household power socket to start the charging process.
• After charging is finished, pull out the power input plug (110-220V), then pull out the output plug.

DURATION OF BATTERY CHARGING

• When the input and output terminal are connected, the charger’s red indicator light will light up to show that the power is connected.

• It will take 5-8 hours to charge the battery for the first time. When the charger’s indicator light turns green, showing that the battery is fully charged, it will switch to trickle charge mode to prevent over-charging. It takes 2-8 hours for regular charging.

• This charger has a protection device for over-charging. Long-time charging should not be more than 24 hours because it will affect the lifetime of the battery.
  Check the battery pack before using it for the first time.

• The charger doesn’t need to be grounded.

• During charging, place the charger in a safe location out of the reach of children

• The battery pack is supplied partially charged. To ensure full battery pack capacity, completely charge the battery pack before using it for the first time.

• Retailers should charge the batteries as soon as receiving the E-Bike from the supplier.

• Even with proper care, rechargeable batteries do not last forever. Every time a battery is discharged and subsequently recharged, its relative capacity decreases by a small percentage. You can maximize the life of your battery by following the instructions in this manual (see PAGE 14).

• Fully charge the battery once you receive it for the full recommended charge times.

Lithium battery recommended charging time: 6-8 hours.

• For a complete,100% charge, leave the battery on the charger for one full hour after the charger indicator light turns green.
• Never charge batteries for longer than 24 hours.
• Li-ion batteries do not have a “memory.” Partial discharge/charge cycles will not harm the battery’s capacity or performance.

Note: If the battery capacity exceeds 60% of the initial rated capacity within ten months of the purchase date, this is normal and is not a quality or warranty issue.

ADJUSTING THE FRONT BRAKES

1. Insert an elbowed hex key into the screw port of the brake frame, turning the screw left to loosen and right to tighten. Turn to the left gently makes the brake a little loose.
2. Hold the brake tight with your left hand so that the brake is pressed against the brake pad (this holds the brake tight).
3. Then turn the elbowed hex key to the right of the brake until the brake is tight, then release the brake. The brake will automatically return, the brake is in the right direction, so that it will not wear.

ADJUSTING THE SADDLE
To adjust the saddle (up or down) open the quick-release lever on the saddle tube. Once you choose the correct height, close the quick-release lever. Press down on the saddle to make sure it is locked tight into position. To check for correct saddle height, perform the following:

• Sit on the saddle, and place one heel on a pedal.
• Rotate the crank until the pedal with your heel on it is in the down position, and the crank arm is parallel to the seat tube. Your leg should be completely straight and just touching the center of the pedal.

Some riders prefer to have the saddle nose tilted slightly up or down. Adjust the saddle tilt by loosen-ing the saddle bolt, tilting the saddle to the desired position, and re-tightening the saddle bolt. Make sure it is tight enough so that you cannot move or jiggle the saddle. Small changes in saddle position can have a substantial effect on performance and comfort. Whenever changing your saddle position, make only one directional change at a time.

RIDING SAFELY

• Once you have completed the initial battery charge, you are ready to ride.
• It is your responsibility to know and abide by all local laws that govern and restrict electric bicycle use.
• Before riding, familiarize yourself with all the different parts of the e-bike and always make sure that all the electrical components are in working order.
• Ensure all the bicycle parts are in good condition, i.e. battery power level, tire pressure and brakes.

Hold onto the handlebars with both hands. Assume a well-balanced position on the E-Bike and push off with your foot. Your left hand will control the throttle. Press down on the thumb throttle slowly to avoid a sudden rush of speed forward. The speed of the E-Bike will increase as you press down on the throttle. Release the throttle and apply the brakes to stop your E-Bike. You will control the speed of the E-Bike by using both the throttle and the brakes. Squeezing the brake handles cuts power to the throttle.

RIDING ON THE ROAD

• Obey the same road laws as all other road vehicles, including yielding to pedestrians and stopping at red lights and stop signs.
• Ride predictably and in a straight line. Never ride against traffic.
• Use correct hand signals to indicate turning or stopping.
• Ride defensively. To other road users, you may be hard to see.
• Concentrate on the path ahead. Avoid potholes, gravel, wet road markings, oil, curbs, speed bumps, drain grates and other obstacles.
• Expect the unexpected such as opening car doors or cars backing out of concealed driveways.
• Be very careful at intersections and when preparing to pass other vehicles.
• Familiarize yourself with all the bike’s features: practice braking and the use of horns.
• Don’t carry packages or passengers that will interfere with your visibility or control of the bike. Don’t use items that may restrict your hearing.
• Maintain a comfortable stopping distance from all other riders, vehicles and objects.
  Safe braking distance is subject to weather conditions.

RIDING IN WET CONDITIONS

• Brake earlier; it will take a longer distance to stop.
• Decrease your riding speed, avoid sudden braking, and take corners with additional caution.
• Be more visible on the road by wearing reflective clothing and using safety lights.
• The local standard weight is 90kg (including the rider weight); do not overload.
• Potholes and slippery surfaces such as line markings, train tracks and wood become more hazardous when wet.

NIGHT RIDING

• Ensure that the front lights (if equipped) are on.
• Wear reflective and light coloured clothing.
• Ride at night only if necessary. Slow down and use familiar roads with street lighting.

PARKING

• Shut off the power switch after you get off to prevent an unintentional abrupt start-up of the bicycle
• Do not start-up E-Bike frequently while resting to ensure the battery, motor, and electric switch’s service life.
• Shut off the power after parking and remove the key.
• When the E-Bike power is on, and a person does not sit on the saddle: do not turn the throttle; otherwise, it will cause the E-Bike to rush forward.

MAINTENANCE

Technological advances have made the E-Bike and the components more complex than ever before. The pace of innovation is increasing. This ongoing evolution makes it impossible for this manual to provide all the information required to properly repair and maintain your E-Bike. To help minimize the chances of an accident and possible injury, you must have any repair or maintenance performed by your dealer, not explicitly described in this manual.

Your maintenance requirements are determined by everything from your riding style to geographic location. Consult your dealer for help in determining your maintenance requirements. How much of your E-Bike service and maintenance you can do yourself depends upon your level of skill, experience, and special tool availability.

WARNING
MANY E-BIKE SERVICE AND REPAIR TASKS REQUIRE KNOWLEDGE AND TOOLS. DO NOT BEGIN ANY ADJUSTMENTS OR SERVICE ON YOUR E-BIKE IF YOU HAVE THE SLIGHTEST DOUBT ABOUT YOUR ABILITY TO COMPLETE THEM CORRECTLY. IMPROPER ADJUSTMENT OR SERVICE MAY DAMAGE THE E-BIKE OR CAUSE AN ACCIDENT RESULTING IN SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH.

INSPECTION, SERVICE & MAINTENANCE
For your safety and enjoyment and to ensure a longer life for your E-Bike, inspect and maintain your E-Bike regularly. You must check specific systems and components before every ride. To ensure your safety, the proper condition and function of these systems are critical. You can perform some service and maintenance and require no special tools or knowledge beyond what is written in this manual. All other service maintenance and repair should be performed in a properly equipped facility by a qualified E-Bike mechanic using the correct tools and procedures specified by the manufacturer.

Your E-Bike will last longer and work better if you break it in before riding it hard. Control cables and wheel spokes may stretch or sear when a new E-Bike is first used and may require readjustment by your dealer. Your mechanical safety check will help you identify some things that need readjustment. Even if everything seems fine, it is best to take your E-Bike back to the dealer for a checkup. Dealers typically suggest you bring the E-Bike in 30 days after purchase for a checkup. Another way to judge when it’s time for the first checkup is to service the E-Bike after 10 to 15 hours of use. If you think something is wrong with the E-Bike, take it to your dealer before riding it again.

CLEANING YOUR E-BIKE
To avoid damage or accidents caused by wet inner electrical parts, do not wash your E-bike with a high-pressure washer. Clean off dirt on any painted metal or plastic parts with a damp cloth using a mild cleaning product. Dry off immediately. Use lubrication oil to maintain any metal parts of the bike. Never apply oil to the front or back brake rubber, hand brake levers, rim, tires, battery or controller.

BEFORE EVERY RIDE
Perform a mechanical safety check to make sure all components are in good working order.

AFTER EVERY LONG OR HARD RIDE, IF THE E-BIKE IS EXPOSED TO WATER OR GRIT OR AT LEAST EVERY 100 MILES

• Clean the E-Bike.
• Lightly oil the chain, freewheel cogs and rear derailleur pulley bushings. Wipe off excess oil. Lubrication is a function of climate. Talk to your dealer about the best lubricants and the recommended lubrication frequency for your area.

AFTER EVERY LONG OR HARD RIDE OR EVERY 10 TO 20 HRS OF RIDING

• Squeeze the front brake and rock the E-Bike forward and back. Does everything feel solid? If you feel a clunk with each forward or backward movement of the E-Bike, you probably have a loose headset. Take your E-bike to your Dealer for inspection.
• Lift the front wheel off the ground and swing it from the side. Does it feel smooth? If you feel any binding or roughness in the steering, you may have a tight headset. Take your E-bike to your Dealer for inspection.
• Make sure all bolts, nuts and mounting hardware are tight.

CAUTION
SINCE THE RIGHT PEDAL ON YOUR E-BIKE FOLDS UP, GRASP THE CRANK ARM WHEN PERFORMING MAINTENANCE ON THE RIGHT SIDE.

WARNING
LIKE ANY MECHANICAL DEVICE, AN E-BIKE AND ITS COMPONENTS ARE SUBJECT TO WEAR AND STRESS. DIFFERENT MATERIALS AND MECHANISMS WEAR AT DIFFERENT RATES AND HAVE DIFFERENT LIFE CYCLES. ONCE A PART IS NO LONGER WORKING OR DAMAGED, IT CAN SUDDENLY AND CATASTROPHICALLY FAIL, CAUSING SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH TO THE RIDER. SCRATCHES, CRACKS, FRAYING AND DISCOLORATION ARE SIGNS OF STRESS-CAUSED WEAR AND INDICATE THAT A PART REQUIRES REPLACING.

BATTERY STORAGE

STORING YOUR BATTERY FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD

• Charge your battery every 60 days to avoid capacity loss. Batteries will slowly self-discharge when left unused for an extended period. Your battery lifespan and capacity will be permanently reduced if you allow the battery cells to reach a critically low voltage.

• Always disconnect your charger from the wall outlet and battery before storing the battery.

• Avoid storing your batteries in extreme hot or cold temperatures.
  Do not store outdoors.

• Batteries should be kept in a cool, dry place. Do not allow batteries to accumulate condensation; this could cause shorting or corrosion.

• The recommended storage temperature for Li-ion batteries is between 32-77ºF (0-25ºC).

• Avoid exposing the battery to extreme heat (104ºF or higher) for long periods.

Q: Is it normal that the batteries get warm when recharging?
A: Yes, the batteries will become warm to the touch during the recharging process due to increased internal resistance and less energy conversion efficiency from electric energy to chemical energy.

Q: How long will my batteries last before needing replacement?
A: Average battery life depends on use and conditions. Even with proper care, rechargeable batteries do not last forever. Conservatively, an SLA battery will come to the end of its useful after~350full discharge charge cycles. In contrast, LI-ION batteries will last more than 800cycles. A partial charge/discharge counts fractionally against those numbers; running the battery down halfway then recharging it completely uses up one half of a charge cycle. “End of useful life” refers to the point at which a battery can no longer supply 60% of its original rated capacity in ampere-hours. After this point, the aging process will accelerate; the battery needs replacing.

POWER-SAVING TIPS

• The life of the battery depends on using it correctly.
• Use Pedal-Assist when riding uphill.
• Charge your battery promptly and at regular intervals if you don’t ride your E-bike for long periods.
• Press down on the throttle slowly; do not press it too quickly when you speed up.
• In general, riding at a consistent speed of 15-18km/h will save the most power.
• Avoid excessive braking when you ride your E-bike.

FLAT TIRE

If you get a flat tire, remove the wheel and depress the tire valve to let all the air out of the tube. Remove one bead of the tire from the rim by grasping the tire at a point opposite the valve stem with both hands lifting and peeling one side of the tire off the rim. If the bead is too tight to unseat it with your hands, use tire levers to lift the bead carefully over the tire rim. Push the valve stem through the wheel rim. Remove the inner tube. Carefully check the outside and inside of the tire for the puncture cause and remove it. If the tire has a cut, line the inside of the tire in the area of the cut with tape, a spare patch, a piece of an inner tube, or a dollar bill- whatever will keep the cut from pinching the inner tube. Patch the tube (follow the instructions in your patch kit) or use a new tube. Reinstall the tire and tube. Slip one tire bead over the rim. Insert the tube valve through its hole in the rim, feed the tube carefully into the tire’s cavity. Inflate the tube just enough to give it some shape. Start at the valve stem, use your thumbs to seat the tire bead inside the rim, and work your way around both sides of the wheel until the entire bead is seated in the rim. Be careful not to pinch the tube between the tire bead and the wheel rim. If you have trouble getting the last few inched of bead over the edge of the rim with thumb pressure, use a tire lever and be careful not to pinch the tube.

CAUTION
Using any tool other tool than a tire lever will likely puncture the tube. Check to make sure the tire is evenly seated around both sides of the rim and that the tube is inside the tire beads. Push the valve stem into the tire to ensure that its base is seated within the tire’s beads. Inflate the tube slowly to the recommended pressure, all the while checking to make sure that the tire beads stay seated in the rim. Replace the valve cap, and install the wheel onto the E-Bike.

WARNING:
RIDING YOUR E-BIKE WITH A FLAT OR UNDER INFLATED TIRE CAN DAMAGE THE TIRE, TUBE, AND E-BIKE AND CAUSE YOU TO LOSE CONTROL AND FALL. BROKEN SPOKE

A wheel with a loose or broken spoke is much weaker than a fully tensioned wheel. If you break a spoke while riding, you will have to ride much more slowly and carefully because the weakened wheel could break additional spokes and become useless.

WARNING:
A BROKEN SPOKE SERIOUSLY WEAKENS THE WHEEL AND MAY CAUSE IT TO WOBBLE, STRIKING THE BRAKES OR THE FRAME. RIDING WITH A BROKEN SPOKE CAN CAUSE YOU TO LOSE CONTROL AND FALL.

Twist the broken spoke around the spoke nest; it will keep it from flopping around and getting caught between the wheel and the frame. Spin the wheel to see if the rim clears the brake pads. If the wheel does not turn, try turning the brake cable adjusting barrel(s) clockwise to slacken the cable and open up the brakes. If the wheel still won’t turn, open the brake’s quick release and secure any loose as best you can. Walk the E-Bike, or if you must, ride it with extreme caution because you now have only one working brake.
