OWNER’S MANUAL – IES SHADOW

CAUTIONS AND WARNINGS

Please read this section! It is very important for your safety and satisfaction that you read these cautions and warnings. Thanks!

Warning! Always wear your helmet, obey local laws, and exercise caution when riding.

Warning! If you are not certain that your bike is safe to ride, call the IES Service Department at 1-866-726-6856 for detailed advice and information.

Warning! Keep the power switched off until you are seated on the bike and ready to ride. Turning the power on when not seated,

and then accidentally twisting the hand throttle can result in the bike accelerating or “jumping” and cause damage or injury.

Warning! Never attempt to disassemble the battery, motor, controller, or throttle. This can result in injury, fire, or damage to the

bike.

Warning! Only use the charger that was supplied with your bike to charge the battery. Use of an improper charger can result in fire or

explosion. Read and follow the charging instructions in the manual for complete information about the operation of your charger.

Warning! Substituting batteries, changing motors or controllers will void the warranty and may result in various types of safety problems including fire, explosion, excessive speed, or lack of control. All service should be performed by the IES

Service Department or authorized dealer referred by the IES Service Department.

Warning! Avoid contact with live wires, or the battery terminals. Although the voltage is low, the amperage is high. Burns and

other injuries can result from contact with any body part.

Warning! Keep the battery and charger out of the reach of children.

Caution! Fully charge the battery before the first use. Failure to

do this can result in decreased battery performance for the life of the bike.

Fully charge the battery each time you use the bike.

Caution! Do not store your new bike where it will be exposed to high heat, high humidity, or rain for extended periods. All of

these will decrease the life and appearance of your bike.

Caution! Do not immerse your bike in water especially sea water. This can damage or destroy the electrical components.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS Tools Required For Assembly

A set of tools is provided for your convenience inside the shipping carton.

Assembly Instructions

Please read through and follow all instructions to ensure that your Shadow is properly assembled and ready for use.

We recommend you assembly your Shadow on a mat or non-abrasive surface in order to avoid scratching your bike.

1. Remove the bicycle from the box by cutting the plastic strapping, then

cutting two sides of the box away. Avoid lifting the bike straight up out of the box. Remove all of the wrappings and ties that protect the bicycle during shipment.

2. Attach the front wheel and fender. Position the handlebars so that the stem

fits into the bicycle frame and loosely tighten the hex nut. Turn the bike upside down. Position the front wheel bolt between the front fork assembly, making sure the locking nut, washer, and fender and basket clamp are all on the outside of the front fork assembly. The final washer should be positioned inside the front fork assembly against the hub motor. Tighten the locking nuts and washers on the outside of the front fork assembly by turning until they are securely fastened to the front fork assembly. On the left front side, insert the black power cable protection clip which protects the power cable (See Figure below) outside the locking

nut and power cable as shown, before securely tightening the locking nut.

Turn the bike upright and lower the kickstand. Remove the rear locking nut and washer from the front brake assembly. Fit fender clamp over brake assembly screw and replace and tighten washer and nut. Attach the fender support with a screw and washer to the lower screw hole on each side of the

front fork assembly. (See Figure 1) Connect the power cable clip

attachment from the front wheel to the wire harness connector. Slide the

protective plastic cover over the cable connection.

3. Line the handlebars up with the front wheel and securely tighten them with

an Allen wrench. Observe the stem – there is a marking on the stem that indicates the minimum safe insertion. The line or marking must be inside the frame. If the stem is not inserted this far into the frame it may break and the rider may lose control.

4. Install the pedals by carefully threading through crank arm, then

tightening securely with a wrench.

5. (See Figure 2) Install the seat and adjust the height. Since your Shadow

has a bicycle type quick release mechanism to secure the seat, it is essential

that you understand how to use this correctly.

How to adjust seat height

Loosen the quick release lever, adjust seat to desired height and tighten the lever. Read section below for complete information on Quick Release Operating Instructions.

CAUTION: Do not adjust the saddle height above the safety line found on the seat pole.

Seat release closed

Quick Release Operating Instructions:

1) To release the lever, pull it away from the bike and towards you until it turns 180°

away from the bicycle. The quick release lever is open when the lever curves away from the bicycle.

2) The tightness of the lever is adjusted with the nut opposite the release lever and

by rotating the quick release lever. Turn the nut by hand to adjust the tension while holding the lever stable.

3) To lock the release lever, push lever up and over towards the bike frame until it

turns over 180° and or the lever curves toward the bicycle. The lever is securely tightened when it leaves an imprint on the palm of your hand from pushing it closed.

4) Once the lever is securely closed, you should not be able to move it unless you

open it again (Step 1). If you can easily move it, then open the quick release lever again and tighten the nut another half turn clockwise. Continue with Step 3.
