WHY YOU SHOULD READ THIS MANUAL
This manual is written to help you to get the best performance, comfort, enjoyment and safety when riding your new Ebike. The manual describes specific care and maintenance procedures that help protect your warranty and ensure years
of trouble free use. Please pay particular attention to the section on battery charging and maintenance.
It is important for you to understand the features and operation of your new E-bike so that you can get maximum enjoyment with
maximum safety. By reading this manual before you go on your first ride, you’ll know how to get the most from your new E-bike.
It is also important that your first ride on a new E-bike be taken under a controlled environment, away from cars, obstacles and
other cyclists.
Cycling can be a hazardous activity even under the best circumstances, Giving Proper maintenance to your E-bike is your
responsibility as it helps to reduce the risk of injury. This manual contains many “Warnings” and “Cautions” concerning the
consequences of failure to maintain or inspect your E-bike. Many of the Warnings and Cautions say “you may lose control and
fall” Because any fall can result in serious injury or even death, we do not repeat the warning of possible injury or death
whenever the risk of falling is mentioned. Please note that those risks are present.
ABOUT THIS MANUAL
Page 1
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Your E-Bike can provide many years of service, fun and fitness-if you take good care of it.
Understand the features of your E-Bike and become aware of the challenges that you will meet on the road. There are
many things you can do to protect yourself while riding. We will offer many recommendations and safety tips throughout this
manual. The following are those that we believe are the most important.
Always Wear A Helmet!
Helmets significantly reduce the possibility and severity of head injuries. Always wear a helmet that complies with your state
laws when riding the E-Bike.
Check with your local police department for requirements in your community.
Do not wear loose clothing that can become tangled in the moving parts of the E-Bike. Wear sturdy shoes and eye
protection. Also check your state laws concerning other protective wear that may be required when riding the E-Bike.
Know your E-Bike!
Your new E-Bike incorporates many features and functions that have never been built into a bicycle before. Read this
manual thoroughly to understand how those features enhance your riding pleasure and safety.
Ride Defensively!
One of the most common cycling accidents is that when the driver of a parked car opens his door into a rider’s path.
Page 2
Another common occurrence is when a car or another cyclist moves suddenly into your path. Always be aware of other
vehicles around you. Do not assume that drivers or other cyclists see you. Get prepared to take evasive action or stop
suddenly.
Make Yourself Easy To See!
Make yourself more visible by wearing bright reflective clothing. Keep your reflectors clean and properly aligned. Signal your
intentions so other drivers and other cyclists can notice your actions.
Ride Within Your Limits!
Take it slow until you are familiar with conditions that you encounter. Be especially careful in wet conditions as traction can
be greatly reduced and brakes less effective. Never ride faster than conditions warrant or beyond your riding abilities.
Remember that alcohol, drugs, fatigue and inattention can significantly reduce your ability to make good judgments and ride
safely.
Keep Your E-Bikes In Safe Condition
Follow the inspection and maintenance guidelines beginning on page_9_. Check critical safety equipment before each and
every ride.
Know The Law
Cyclists are required to follow traffic rules. Additionally, some communities regulate the use of motorized bicycles
Page 3
regarding minimum age requirements and necessary equipment. Check with your local police department for specific
details.
Correct Frame Size
When selecting a new E-BIKE, the proper frame size is a very important safety consideration. Most full sized bicycles come in
a range of frame sizes. These sizes usually refer to the distance between the center of the bottom bracket and the top of the
frame seat tube.
For safe and comfortable riding there should be a clearance of no less than 1-2 inches between the groin area of the intended rider
and the top tube of the bicycle frame, while the rider straddles the bicycle with both feet flat on the ground.
The ideal clearance will vary between types of bicycles and rider preference. This makes straddling the frame when
off the seat easier and safer in situations such as sudden traffic stops. Women can use a men’s style bicycle to
determine the correct size.

Please read and understand these instructions completely before operating your E-bike to prevent serious injury to yourself and
others, and to prevent damage to your E-bike.
IMPORTANT NOTICES
• 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 1 month, the battery should be checked and fully recharged before riding.
Helmets
Always wear a properly fitted helmet which covers the forehead when riding an E-BIKE.
Many states require specific safety devices. It’s your responsibility to familiarize yourself with the laws of the state
where you ride and to comply with all applicable laws, including properly equipping yourself and your bike as the law
requires.
Operation Instruction
Page 7
It’s strongly advised that a properly fitted E-bicycle safety helmet be worn at all
times when riding your E-bicycle.
The correct helmet should:
- Be comfortable
- Be lightweight
- Have good ventilation
- Fit correctly
- Cover forehead
Reflectors
Reflectors are important safety devices which are designed as an integral part of your E-bike. Federal regulations require
every bicycle to be equipped with front, rear wheel and pedal reflectors. These reflectors are designed to pick up and reflect
street lights and car lights in a way that helps you be seen and recognized as a moving bicyclist. Checking 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.
Your E-bike is supplied with one front, one rear wheel reflector,and four pedals reflectors. These are important safety and
legal requirements, and should remain securely fitted and in good, clean condition at all times. Periodically inspect all
reflectors, brackets and mounting hardware for signs of wear or damage. Replace immediately if damange is found. Some
bicycles will require you to install your reflectors onto your bicycle. Please refer to the following section for instructions on all
types of bicycle reflectors.
Page 8
Riding method
Be familiar with all the spare parts of the E-bike and test all the electric functions before riding. Make sure all the spare parts for
the bicycle are in good condition, such as battery power, and tire pressure. The detailed operation is as follows:
Start-up
Insert the key into power switch at the right side of battery box,
turn to “ON” position, if the power display lights on, then power supply is normal.
1.Start-up by accelerator: turn the accelerator towards you(counter-clockwise),
and the rotation angle should be from small to large to start,
then you can adjust speed by turning the accelerator slowly,
the speed can increase to 20km/hour, but the actual speed depends
on weight, road surface, tire pressure and other factors.
2.Start-up by pedal assistance: After turning on the power, you can also use your pedals to start-up the E-bike, then you can
control your speed with accelerator, as well as by pedaling the bicycle faster.
but please do not pedal too hard, in case it may damage the components of e-bike since it is mainly motor driven.
Page 9
RIDING SAFELY
Riding attention on the road
1,Speed should be increased slowly after start-up, in order not to waste energy and damage electrical components, it is much
better start-up with pedal assistance.
2,Please ride with the pedal assistance when climbing hills or steep terrain, in order to prolong the service life of battery and the
motor.
1). While staying safe, try to reduce frequent braking and start-up while riding, in order to save energy.
2). To stop the E-bike, you can release the accelerator by turning clockwise, the speed will slow down and stop.
3). Do not use the accelerator and brake together while riding, you can release the accelerator first, and then brake. In order to
not overload motor or damage other E-bike’s components.
4). Optimum weight is 75kg (including the rider weight), please do not overload.
5). Moreover a rear brake system has been installed to the e-bike, it will automatically cut off power supply to the motor and
slow down when you pull the brake, then the rear brake in the back wheel will stop the E-bike.
Parking attention
1,Shut off the power switch after you get off. In order to prevent accidents caused by inadvertantly by turning accelerator and
starting up the bicycle abruptly.
2.Do not start-up bicycle frequently while stationary, to ensure the service life of battery, motor and electric switch.
3.Shut off the power after parking, and remove the key.
Page 10
Battery charging
When the ride is over or the battery is running out, charge
battery immediately.
Charging methods can be divided into two kinds:
One is to take out the battery then charge, the other is to charge the battery on e- bikes.
Connect the charger plug to the battery charging port and the AC.
Connect to a 100-220V/50-60Hz power source (depending on your region).
There is an LED indicator on the battery charger unit.
The LED is red when the power is connected and the battery is charging.
When the LED turns green, the battery is fully charged.
SLA (sealed lead acid) recommended charging time:6-8hours
Li-LON recommended charging time:5-6 hours
*Do not charge continuously for more than 18 hours.*
After charging, unplug the input plug first (from the outlet), then unplug the output connector (from the bike).
The battery charger must have constant voltage. Fluctuating voltage or fluctuating power supply of any kind may damage
the battery storage cells.
Page 11
Checking the battery Pack before using for the first time
• The battery pack is provided partially charged. To ensure full battery pack capacity, completely charge the battery pack
before using for the first time.
• Distributors should charge the batteries as soon as receiving the E-bike from supplier.
Battery Care
• Even with proper care, rechargeable batteries do not last forever. Every time the 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 guide. Battery should be fully charged immediately when they are received for the full recommended
charge times
SLA(sealed lead acid)recommended charging time:6-8hours
Li-LON recommended charging time:5-6 hours
• For a complete,100% charging, 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 batteries’ capacity or performance.
• The rated output capacity of a battery is measured at 77”F(25”C).Any variation in this temperature will alter the performance
of the battery, and shorten its expected life. High temperatures especially reduce overall battery life &running time.
• Always be sure to turn the bike power switch to “OFF” after each use. If you leave the power switch the “ON” position, or
your E-bike has not been charged for a long period of time, the battery may reach a stage at which it will no longer hold a
charge.
Page 12
Inserting, unlocking and removing the battery
• Insert the key into the keyhole
• Turn the key switch to ON when using the E- bike(C.picture1)
• Turn the key switch to OFF when stopping use of the E- bike(B. picture)
• Turn the key switch to (A.picture1),then the battery is unlocked and removable
Picture 1
Page 13
Power indicator
When the throttle or sensor is engaged (Powering the motor) and the
e-bike is in motion, the LED on the battery gauge(on the throttle or
separate unit) indicate instantaneous line voltage as measured at
the battery terminals - not the available energy 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 or show the “Yellow” or even ”RED” LED.
When the throttle is disengaged (i.e. no power to the motor due to the
bicycle being Stationary or coasting) LED on the throttle will indicate
the voltage of the battery pack. 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 throttle LED, after reaching cruising
speed, on a flat straight road as this will allow the battery voltage to
stabilize and give a much more accurate reading.
Page 14
This E-bikes have an electric pedal assisted driving system. In EU countries, it is known legally as “PAS” cylce or Pedal Assisted
System.
The driving assisted system consists of a driving unit, a battery, a controller, and various electronic components (harness wires,
sensors and switches). It is important to know that when the assistant system is turned on, the driving unit engages to provide
power only while you are pedaling. The amount of power provided by unit depends on your pedaling force and the assistance
model/level you set with handlebar control unit at any time, if you stop pedaling, the drive assistant will disengage. In all
models/levels, the driving assisted system power reduces progressively and cuts off as the bike reaches a speed of
25km/h,(15.5mph), or sooner if you stop pedaling. The drive assist re-engages when speed drops below 25km/h, (15.5mph) as
long as the pedals are turning.
Page 15
If the e-bike is equipped with mufti-function display (see photo at left.), Which has
3 levels of PAS speed, power indicator on and light on/off..
Keep pressing '-' button to turn off PAS, you can pedal the bike normally. The driving
assistance system is not activated.
Hold the '+' button on meter can get higher PAS speed level. Each level of assist
corresponds to a maximum motor speed; at level 3, the motor runs at full power.
Overall range decrease at higher power levels.
Throttles (If has)
Throttles are equipped on some models of electric bicycles.
Throttles are operated by rotating the throttle towards the rider
much like a motorcycle.
Normally they are the inner half of the right side handlebar grip
and may also contain a battery gauge.
The more you twist the throttle, the faster the motor system
will propel the bicycle.
Pedal installation
Pedals are a pair with “R” & “L” (picture 1), “R” for right, “L” for left.
Tight the pedals with the directive turnings (picture 2).
Remark: R-right;
L-left

How to fold the e-bike (Only for folding bike)
1. Turn the key switch to the OFF position.
2. Unlock the handlebar quick release lever (A, Picture 1) and push
down the handlebar to the lowest position, then lock the handlebar
quick release lever.
3. Unlock the handlebar quick release lever (A, Picture 2) and rollover
The handle bar.
4. Rotate the pedal upward so it is perpendicular to the ground
(A, Picture 3).
5. Release the lock lever from its clasp on the right side of the E-Bike
(A, Picture 4).
6. Rotate the lock lever (A, Picture 4) clockwise until it points backward
Pull the locknut and rotate the locknut (A, Picture 4) out away from the
E-bike until the nut clears the lock plate (B, Picture 4).
7. Grasp the seat and the handlebar. Pivot the front half of the frame
rearward around the hinge until the front wheel is beside the rear wheel (Picture 5).

Shifter ( certain models only)
Some of E-bikes go with gears, which consists of:
• A rear sprocket cluster, called a freewheel or cog set
• A rear derailleur
• One swifter
• One control cable
• One front sprocket called a chaining
• A drive chain
There are many different types of swifter mechanisms, each preferred for
specific applications because of its ergonomic, performance and price
characteristics.
A downshift is a shift to a lower or slower gear, which is easier to pedal.
An upshift is a shift to a higher or faster gear, which is harder to pedal.
For example, you can downshift to a lower gear to make pedaling easier
on a hill.
On the other hand, you may upshift to a higher gear when you wish to go
faster.
Whether up-shifting or downshifting, the derailleur system requires that the
drive chain is moving forward and is under at least some tension. A
derailleur will shift only if you are pedaling forward.
Caution:__________________________________________________
Never move the swifter while pedaling backward. Also do not pedal
backwards after moving the swifter. Either of these actions could jam chain
and cause serious damage to the E-Bike.
Page 18
Derailleur System
The derailleur system includes the front and rear derailleur, the shift levers,
and the derailleur control cables, all of which must function properly for
smooth gear shifting to occur.
Derailleur
Although the front and rear derailleurs are initially adjusted in our factory, you will
need to inspect and adjust both before riding the E-bike.
Rear Derailleur
Begin by shifting the rear swifter to largest number indicated, loosen the cable
from the rear derailleur cable anchor bolt, and place the chain on the smallest
Sprocket.
Adjust the high limit screw so that the guide pulley and the smallest sprocket are
lined up vertically. Re-tighten the cable, pull out any slack, and re-tighten the
anchor bolt securely. Shifting through the gears, making sure that each gear is
achieved quietly and without hesitation. If necessary, use the barrel adjuster to fine
tune the cable tension by turning it the direction you want the chain to go. For
example, turning clockwise will loose the cable tension and move the chain away
from the wheel, while turning counter-clockwise will tighten cable tension and
direct the chain to the wheel.
Page 19
Front Wheel
Installation
1. Make sure the brakes are loose enough to allow the wheel to
pass through the brake pads easily.
2. Place wheel into fork dropouts.
3. Install retaining washers with raised lip pointing towards the fork,
and insert into the small hole of the fork blade.
NOTE: Some bikes may have step retaining washers
in place of the retaining washer. If so install the step retaining
washer, raised portion sliding into the fork dropouts.
4. Install axle nuts and tighten. Make sure the wheel is centered between the fork blades.
5. Spin the wheel to make sure that it is centered and clears the brake shoes.
Tighten the brakes if necessary.

This screw can be adjusted to loosen and tighten of
the rear brake.
Rear Carrier
Page 22
When installing the rear carrier onto the rear wheel, make sure the
screws are firmly fixed.
Insert the screw and tighten it.
Light
Saddle position
Correct saddle adjusted position is an important factor to get the best performance and comfort from your E-bike.
If you find the saddle position is not comfortable, there are two adjustments.
A: Up and down adjustment.
Your leg length determines the correct saddle height.
The saddle is at the correct height if you can just reach the “lower” pedal with one
heel when you are seated on the saddle and the crank arms are parallel to the seat
tube. To check for correct saddle height, perform the following:
1. Sit on the saddle, and place one heel on a pedal.
2. 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. If this is not the case, your saddle
height needs to be adjusted.
B:Saddle tilt adjustment
Most people prefer a horizontal saddle; but some riders prefer to have
the saddle nose tilted slightly up or down. You can adjust saddle tilt by
loosening the saddle quick release, tilting the saddle to the desired position,
and retightening the saddle quick release. Tight enough so that you cannot move
or jiggle the saddle. Very small changes in saddle position can have a substantial effect upon performance and comfort. Consequently,
whenever you make a change to your saddle position, make only one directional change at a time, and make the changes in small
increments until you have found the position at which you are most comfortable.
Page 23
NOTE:
Technological advances have made the E-Bike and the components more complex than ever before. And the pace of innovation
is increasing. This on-going evolution makes it impossible for this manual to provide all the information required to properly
repair and/or maintain your E-Bike. In order to help minimize the chances of an accident and possible injury, it is critical that you
have any repair or maintenance performed by your dealer which is not specifically described in this manual.
Equally important is that your individual maintenance requirements will be 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 special knowledge and tools. Do not begin any adjustments or service on your E-Bike if you have
the slightest doubt about your ability to properly complete them. Improper adjustment or service may result in damage to the E-Bike or in an
accident which can cause serious injury or death.
INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
For your safety and enjoyment and to insure a longer life for your E-Bike, inspect and maintain your E-Bike regularly. Use the
table for guidance. It is very important that you check certain systems and components before each and every ride. The proper
condition and function of these systems is critically important for your safety.

Battery Storage
When storing your batteries for a long period of time:
⚫ Charge your batteries every 30 days to avoid capacity loss. Batteries will self-discharge slowly when left unused for a
long period of time; if the battery cells are allowed to reach a critically low voltage, their lifespan and capacity will be
permanently reduced.
⚫ Always disconnect your charger from the wall outlet and battery before storing the battery.
⚫ Avoid storing your batteries in extreme temperatures, whether hot or cold.
⚫ Batteries are best kept in a cool, dry place. Do not allow batteries to accumulate condensation, as this could cause
shorting or corrosion.
⚫ The recommended storage temperature for both SLA and LI-ion batteries is between 32-77 ° F (0-25 ° C).
⚫ Avoid exposing the battery to extreme heat (104° F or higher) for long periods of time.
FAQ
Q: Is it normal that the batteries get warm when recharging?
A: Yes, it is normal that the batteries will become warm to the touch during the recharging process. This is because
the increase of 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 ~350 full discharge/charge cycles, while
Li-ion batteries will last more than 800 cycles. 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.
Page 26
“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 and the battery will need to be replaced.
SERVICE & MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
Some service and maintenance can and should be performed by the owner, and require no special tools or knowledge beyond
what is presented in this manual.
The following are examples of the type of service you should perform yourself. 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.
Break-in Period
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. But even if everything seems fine to you. 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 for a checkup. Another way to judge when
it’s time for the first checkup is to bring the E-Bike in after 10to 15 hours of use. But if you think something is wrong with the E-
Bike, take it to your dealer before riding it again.
Before every ride:
• Perform the mechanical safety
After every long or hard ride; if the E-Bike has been 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.
Page 27
After every long or hard ride or after every 10 to 20 hours 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. Have your dealer check it.
• Lift the front wheel off the ground and swing it from side. Feel smooth? If you feel any binding or roughness in the steering,
you may have a tight headset. Have your dealer check it.
• 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 this check 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 .If a component’s life cycle is exceeded, the component
can suddenly and catastrophically fail, causing serious injury or death to the rider. Scratch es, cracks ,fraying and
discoloration are signs of stress-caused fatigue and indicate that a part is at the end of its useful life and should be
replaced.
Flat Tire
If you get a flat tire, remove the wheel. 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 for you 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.
Page 28
Carefully check the outside and inside of the tire for the cause of the puncture and remove the cause if it is still there.
If the tire is cut, line the inside of the tire in the area of the cut with tape, a spare patch, a piece of inner tube, whatever
will keep the cut from pinching the inner tube.
Either patch the tube (Follow the instructions in your patch kit),or use a new tub e. 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 cavity of the tire.
Inflate the tube just enough to give it some shape. Starting at the valve stem use your thumbs to seat the tire bead
inside the rim. Work your way around both side 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 inches of bead over the
edge of the rim with thumb pressure, use a tire lever and be careful not to pinch the tube.
CAUTION:
If you use a screwdriver or any tool other than a tire lever, you are likely to 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 make sure 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 can cause you to lose control
and fall.
Page 29
Broken Spoke
A wheel with a loose or broken spoke is much weaker than a fully tensioned wheel.
If you break a spoke while on a ride, you will have to ride home 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 next to it 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 will not turn because it is rubbing against a
brake pad, 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.
Basic Maintenance
The following procedures will help you maintain your hybrid electric bicycle for years of enjoyable riding.
Properly maintain the batteries by keeping them fully charged when not in use.
We do not recommend that riding your electric bicycle in the water(damp roads, puddles ,rain, streams, etc.) and never
immerse it in water as the electrical system may be damaged.

For painted frames ,dust the surface and remove any loose dirt with a dry cloth. Clean and wipe with a damp cloth soaked in
a mild detergent mixture. Dry with a cloth and polish with car or furniture wax. Use soap and water to clean plastic parts and
robber tires. Chrome plated bikes should be wiped over with a rust preventative fluid.
Store your bicycle under shelter. Avoid leaving it in the rain or being exposed to corrosive materials.
Riding on the beach or in coastal areas exposes you bicycle to salt which is very corrosive. Wash your bicycle frequently and
wipe or spray all unpainted parts with an anti-rust treatment .Make sure wheel rims are dry so braking performance is not
affected. After rain, dry you bicycle and apply anti-rust treatment.
If the hub and bottom bracket bearings of your bicycle have been submerged in water, they should be taken out and regreased. This will prevent accelerated bearing deterioration.
If paint has become scratched or chipped to the metal, use touch up paint to prevent rust. Clear nail polish can also be used
as a preventative measure.
Regularly clean and lubricate all moving parts ,tighten components and make adjustments as required.
Storage
Keep your bicycle in a dry location which is away from the weather and sun.
Direct sunlight may cause paint to fade or rubber and plastic parts to crack. Before storing your bicycle for a long period of
time, clean and lubricate all components and wax the frame. Deflate the tires to half pressure and hang the bicycle off the
ground. Charge your batteries and make sure they are protected from water. Batteries should be charged every 30 days to
avoid capacity loss. Don’t cover the bicycle with plastic as “sweating” will result and it may cause rusting. Please notice that
your bicycle warranty does not cover paint damage (except as outlined in the warranty section of this manual),rust, corrosion,
dry rot or theft.
