Simply Moving
Congratulations on the purchase of your eZee bike. You’re
one step closer in realizing a whole new way of commuting that is
fast, fun and friendly to the environment.
The hub motor is brushless and uses a technology called
Pulse Wave Modulation control, so that its not subject to wear like
a regular DC motor. Planetary reduction gears incorporated into its
hub gives it a very strong torque, working in unison with your leg
power to atten out those hills and to overcome headwinds.
Under normal cruising conditions (26 kmh, 16 mph), the
motor draws about 5 amps at 140 watts with 5 Nm torque and has
an efciency about 80%. Its electric consumption is about 1.0 kwH
for 100 km / 62 miles in ebike mode - even less energy than the food
you would consume riding by leg power alone. Making it by far the
most efcient vehicle ever made.
While the eZee pledge to quality means our components are
high value and reliable. Its your part to understand safety implications and the possible risks of cycling. So please take some time and
read this manual. It explains the bike in detail, how to take care of it,
so that you can enjoy using the bike for many years to come.

Legal Regulations
EU regulations state that your vehicle is an Electric Powered
Assist Cycle (EPAC) when the following conditions are met.
[ EU directive 2002/24/EC Chapter 1 Article 1 1(h) ]
“Cycles with pedal assistance which are equipped with an
auxiliary electric motor having a maximum continuous rated power
of 0.25 kW, of which the output is progressively reduced and nally
cut off as the vehicle reaches a speed of 25 km/h or if the cyclist
stops pedaling.”
With EU compliant conguration, the power assist of an eZee
bike only functions while the rider is pedalling. The means of controlling the assistance is provided with either a dial or throttle system.
USA regulations allow a power assisted maximum speed of
20 mph. eZee bike made for the USA has a motor nominally rated at 350 watts but up to a maximum rated power of 700 watts.
The power assist can function without the aid of pedalling, however
there’s nothing to stop you from doing so. Putting in some effort will
greatly increase the mileage you get from your battery.
This means you do not require a license or moped certicate,
there is no age limit and you can take cycling paths. It conforms to
regulations of normal bicycles. Legal requirements concerning
insurance of your bicycle may differ, so do nd out about the rules
and regulations in your country.
