eRide Metro Electric Foldable Bike

Thank you for purchasing e-bike from Raddy. We are proud of offering the best quality of product and service for you. Please read this manual carefully before you assemble and enjoy the bike.
Notice

• Review all included notices and documentation. Improper assembly. maintenance, or use of the  bicycle may result in component or performance failure, loss of control, serious injury or death.  Even if you are an experienced bicycle rider, you must read and understand the entire manual and any documentation provided for subcomponents or accessories before riding. If you are not sure whether you have the experience, skills, and tools to correctly perform all the assembly steps in the manual, please consult a local, certified bicycle mechanic.
• Ensure proper personal safety equipment is worn and children are supervised by an adult when operating.

Guard against Rust, Water Damage, and Corrosion
Like any outdoor vehicles, your e-bike needs some protection to ensure it isn’t damaged by the elements. Follow these steps for a long, healthy life for your e-bike:

• Store both the bike and the battery under shelter and in an upright position; avoid leaving the bike in the rain or exposed to corrosive substances such as water, salt, or de-icing substances. If exposed to rain, dry your bike afterward, and apply an anti-rust treatment to the chain and other unpainted steel surfaces.
• In case of storage of more than one month, such as winter storage, please charge the battery regularly (at least once a month) and turn off the circuit breaker. Please do not leave the battery outside under freezing temperature.
• To clean your e-bike, turn the bike and battery off and use soft cloths or sponges to clean the surfaces. If needed, apply a mild, non-corrosive detergent mixture to the damp cloth and wipe the frame. Dry by wiping with a clean, dry cloth. Do not power wash your bike. Wipe down your bike frequently and wipe or spray all unpainted mechanical parts with anti-rust treatment.
• If painted metal parts are accidentally damaged, use touch-up paint or nail polish to prevent rust.
• Never immerse or submerge the bike or any components in water or liquid, which can cause the electrical system to be damaged.
• Avoid riding on the beach, in coastal areas with high-salinity fog, or on surfaces treated with salt or de-icing compounds. Salt or other substances that are very corrosive. Corrosion of electrical components can lead to permanent, irreversible damage that can cause battery failure, electrical system failure, or electrical fire. Damage from corrosion is not covered under warranty.

Regular Inspection:
For every 1864 miles you travel or every 6 months, a full inspection/ tune-up is recommended based on the condition of the bike.
Warning
Damage to your e-bikes’ electrical system may result from any manner, including water intrusion, which can lead to battery failure, electrical system malfunction, or electrical fire, and consequent property damage, injury, or death. Follow all recommendations to minimize chance of water damage. If you have any questions, contact Raddy Product Support.
How the Electrical System Works
This e-bike is equipped with two ways for the rider to use power assistance from the motor to propel the bike forward: a pedal assist system (PAS) and a twist throttle.
How Pedal Assist Works
The user can engage the pedal assist system (PAS) while pedaling, and it will call up assistance from the motor to help propel the bike forward.
Pedal assist uses a cadence sensor built into the drivetrain of the bike. The sensor detects when the user revolves the pedals and signals the electric motor to provide the level of pedal assistance (PAS 0-5) that has been selected.
How The Throttle Works
The throttle is located on the right side of the handlebar. The rider can use it with a twist of the throttle grip to propel the bike forward without pedaling.
To engage the throttle while riding, slowly and carefully rotate it toward yourself. The more you twist, the more powerfully the throttle will propel the bike forward. Once you release the throttle or apply the brakes, the throttle will no longer propel the bike forward. Always keep one hand on the brake lever and be prepared to squeeze the lever to disengage the throttle if needed, or turn off the bike to prevent accidentally engaging the throttle.
Raddy eRide Metro is equipped with an on/off switch for the throttle. These switches can be set to “off” even while the bike electrical system is on in order to prevent use of the throttle. You should not use your throttle if regulations where you ride prohibit throttle use on e-bikes. It is your responsibility to research and follow local e-bike regulations and all other traffic law.
Do Not Touch the Brake Rotor
Touching the brake rotor, which has sharp edges and can get very hot while you’re riding, can cause serious injury, slicing damage, or burns. The brake rotor heats up from normal friction when the brake pads press against the brake rotor to slow or stop the bike. Touching the brake rotor with bare skin can also transfer natural oils to the rotor, which can decrease braking performance. Do not touch the brake rotor, especially when its in motion or after you’ve been riding your bike. Touch the brake rotor only for necessary maintenance when it is cool, not moving, and while you are wearing gloves or using other appropriate protective equipment.
Additional Precautions Regarding Electrical Components
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of fire, connect only to a circuit provided with 10 amperes maximum branch circuit overcurrent protection in accordance with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70.

WARNING: Using a damaged battery or charger can create additional bike damage or a fire hazard. Stop using your battery and charger and contact Raddy immediately if any of the following occur:

1. Your charger’s flexible power cord or output cable or any of the electrical cables on your bike are frayed, have broken insulation, or any other signs of damage
2. Your battery or charger is physically damaged, non-functional, or performing abnormally.
3. Your battery or charger experienced a significant impact from a fall or crash, with or without obvious signs of damage.
4. Your charger becomes too hot to touch (it’s designed to get warm with normal use), makes a funny smell, or shows other signs of overheating. Store any damaged battery or charger in a safe location and, as soon as possible, recycle or otherwise dispose of it according to local rules. Contact Raddy if you have any questions or to purchase a compatible replacement battery or charger.

Related Regulations of Riding an Electric Bike
According to US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), a qualified e-bike (defined as Power Assist Bicycle) must meet following requirements:

• The e-bike must have pedals that can be stepped on
• Upper wattage limit for the motor is 750W
• Maximum speed of an e-bike is 32km/h
• The whole vehicle does not exceed 50 kg

Other requirements include a permanently affixed compliance label from the manufacturer stating that the vehicle is a power-assisted bicycle under statutory requirements in force at the time of manufacture. Currently, there is no license, no insurance and no vehicle registration required to operate a qualified e-bike. e-bike riders share the same rights and responsibilities as other road users.
However, states have the power to restrict the use of e-bikes. Most states require the rider to wear a helmet. Some states have special requirements with regard to the age limit to operate an e-bike, the type of helmet required, even the number of wheels and wheel size. Typically, e-bikes are generally treated the same as regular bicycles. According to the the US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), the age limit to operate an e-bike is 16 years old and above; the maximum weight of the bike is 50 kilograms ; the bike must have a brake distance of less than 9 meters; Any modifications made to the bike’s motor to create speeds greater than 32km/h are prohibited.
The use of non-original components or spare parts can jeopardize the safety of your e-bike, void your warranty and, in some cases, cause your e-bike to not conform with laws pertaining to your bike.
