Safety Instructions

You, the rider, are solely responsible for learning the rules and laws regarding where you are permitted to ride your e-bike in your city or rural area. You must have your e-bike programmed to the proper speed law for road legality if your municipality has one. We urge you to wear the proper safety gear and obey any laws of the road. We will not be held liable for any damages or harm to bicycles and/or riders from rider decisions. We care about your safety, however, and we do this by standing by our manufacture warranty, and the quality of our product.
Warning: Read and follow all safety warnings before riding

• Local traffic laws: Some state and local traffic laws may require that your bicycle be equipped with a warning device, such as a horn or bell and a light, if the bicycle is to be ridden after dark. When you are riding on the road, make sure that you are always visible to other vehicles. Please respect the road rules in all circumstances.

• Protective equipment: Always wear proper protective equipment, such as an Australian standards-approved helmet, elbow pads, knee pads, long sleeve shirt, gloves, long pants.

• Wet weather warning: Slow down your speed when riding in rainy and snowy conditions and in slippery areas. Increase your braking distance to ensure safety. Use the rear brake lever FIRST, then the front brake lever.

• Always double-check your bike before riding it (tighten the handlebars and stem, check the saddle, wheels, and brakes, etc.). We strongly recommend that significant mechanical repairs are carried out by a skilled bicycle mechanic.

• Height adjustment: Adjust the seat height and handlebar height appropriately: the rider must be able to straddle the bicycle with at least 2.5 cm clearance above the horizontal bar when standing. Please refer to the assembly section for details.

• Check the tyre pressure: The tyre pressure range of this bicycle is 160–350 kPa (23-50 psi), which is marked on the tyre. Please ensure that the tyre pressure is within this range to avoid accidents (1 psi = 6.895 kPa).

• Children below 14 years old should not play with the product. DO NOT LET CHILDREN INFLATE TYRES. Charging, cleaning, and maintenance should not be performed by children without adult supervision.

• Recommended torque requirements in Newton metres (Nm) for the following:
  • Front axle: 8-10 Nm
  • Back axle: 20-30 Nm
  • Handlebar clamp nut/bolt: 8-12 Nm
  • Handlebar stem expander bolt: 35-45 Nm
  • Seat pillar clamp nut/bolt: 18-22 Nm
  • Brake cable anchor bolt: 1.5-4 Nm
  • Brake mounting bolt: 8-12 Nm
  • Seat clamp nuts: 18-22 Nm
  • Crank attachment systems: 40-60 Nm
  • Pedal: 20-26 Nm

• Torque approximation: If you do not have a torque wrench, for reference 5-10 Nm is only just snug. To achieve approx. 40 Nm, use your index finger to hold the Allen key, and then turn it using the strength from your whole arm. As soon as your finger starts to struggle, stop turning. It should feel very solid, but should not take your entire body strength to get it to this point. One mistake people often make is to over-tighten.

• Bike Chain: If the chain skips or jumps, the rear derailleur may require adjustment – please refer to page 10 of the SHIMANO manual.

• Maximum rider weight: 100 kg (excluding the bicycle weight).

• Night-time operation: We do NOT recommend riding your bike at night. If you have an emergency that makes it necessary to ride at right, have proper lights and reflectors. Do NOT ride at night without a headlight, taillight, a white front reflector, a red rear reflector and yellow wheel reflectors.

• On and off-road operation: Avoid the following hazards: drain grates, potholes, ruts, soft road edges, gravel, and leaves, especially when they are wet.

• Maintenance schedule: We strongly recommend establishing a periodic maintenance schedule, which will be determined by the frequency and length of your rides, your style of riding, as well as the terrain on which you most often ride.

• Bike maintenance: Before maintenance or cleaning, make sure the bicycle is disconnected from the charger

Assembly/Getting Started
Before first use

• Unpack this bike, making sure to remove all parts from the packaging carton. The carton staples may be sharp, take care that you do not hurt yourself when reaching into the carton to remove parts.

• Packaging materials: Keep the original packaging materials in a safe place. It will help prevent any damage if the product needs to be transported in the future, and you can use it to store the bike when it is not in use. In the event the carton is to be disposed of, please recycle it where possible.

• Unwrap all parts carefully. If you are using a retractable utility knife or scissors when unwrapping the parts, take care that you do not scratch the metal parts of the bike or pierce the tires. Remove the plastic covers from the front wheel nuts, base of the fork and stem pillar. Plastic wrapping can be a suffocation hazard for babies and young children, so ensure all packaging and protective materials are out of children’s reach and disposed of safely.

• Assembly requirements: The bike comes partially assembled (Fig. 1) and requires full assembly by a bicycle mechanic or competent person. The stem needs to be assembled with an M6 Allen key (35-45 Nm) and the pedals with an M15 wrench (20-26 Nm). A multipurpose tool (containing the tools required for assembly) is supplied. Other torque requirements for the different part assemblies are listed on page 6. If you do not
  have a torque wrench, for reference 5-10 Nm is only just snug. To achieve approx. 40 Nm, use your index
  finger to hold the Allen key, and then turn it using the strength from your whole arm. As soon as your finger
  starts to struggle, stop turning. It should feel very solid but should not take your entire body strength to get it
  to this point. One mistake people often make is to over-tighten.

• Inspect the cord and plug of the battery charger for damage or wear before each use. Do not use the charger if
  it is not working or if its cord is damaged. In case of damage, please contact our customer service team.

Maintenance

Cleaning and care
Always dry your bike with a soft cloth to avoid rust and corrosion. While carefully drying your entire bike, you will also be able to inspect all the different parts and detect any potential problems.
Lubrication is an important part of maintaining an electric vehicle. Parts of the bike – including the chain, derailleur, and suspension fork – should be scrubbed with an appropriate lubricating oil every six months.
Check the chain tension after every ride. The chain needs to be as tight as possible without creating friction that will waste energy and wear the chain and cogs prematurely.
Ensure the electrical components, like the LCD display, motor, battery, and the circuit wiring have no prolonged water contact. Do not submerge this e-bike in any body of water. If wiring is causing the e-bike to spark, please refrain from riding, kill the electrical current and contact us to replace the electrical system. If the system is faulty or becomes faulty without outside tampering or changes to the e-bike, you are under a 6-month warranty for electrical systems issues.

WARNING: Replace worn parts!
As with all mechanical components, the bicycle is subjected to wear and high stresses. Different materials and components may react to wear or stress fatigue in different ways. If the design life of a component has been exceeded, it may suddenly fail, possibly causing injuries to the rider. Any form of crack, scratch or change of colouring in highly stressed areas indicates that the life of the component has been reached and it should be replaced.
