11) FINAL BICYCLE INSPECTION
Step 1) At the rear brake
assembly, located at the
back wheel, unhook the
rear brake cable barrel
end. This made easier by
squeezing the cantilever
brakes towards the rim to
decrease the cable tension
in order to unhook the rear
brake cable barrel end
from the brake unit. Also
make sure to screw (by turning clockwise) in the barrel adjuster
all the way into the brake lever. (This will make the brake wire
easier to work with by increasing the slack in the brake cable).
Step 2) On the rear brake lever, line up the slots on the barrel
adjuster and adjuster locknut with the slots on the brake lever.
Insert the brake cable into the brake lever. Turn the barrel so
that the slots are no longer aligned.
Step 3) Re-attach the brake cable to the rear brake assembly.
(Before you ride the bike, make sure that the brakes are properly adjusted).

4) Adjusting Motor Unit
• With Cam Lever in the up (disengaged) position, adjust the ZAP
Motor Unit by sliding it up or down along the seat stays until the
proper Critical Set-Up Distance (CSD) is achieved. The CSD is the
distance between the motor and the Seat Stays when the roller is
just touching the tire. (see Fig. 5). Determine the CSD for your bike
by referring to Fig. 6. The recommended pressure for your tires is
printed on the tires.
NOTE: In some
cases (on Cruiser
bikes in particular),

Engagement Lever Operation
Rider Power Only
The engagement cam is in the “up” position, and the
motors are off and hang free, just clearing the tire. This
mode is for riding when power is not needed and allows
the rider to pedal without any drag from the motor. Fig.1
Fig.1
Motor-Assisted
After pedaling has initiated, activation of the throttle
switch on the handlebar causes the motor to swing into
contact with the tire and engage. The motor then automatically adjusts itself to maximum efficiency at lower
torque levels. Fig.2
Full-Time Power-Assisted
After pedaling has initiated and when the engagement
Fig.2
Fig.3
cam is moved to the “down” position, the drive roller is
already in contact with the tire when the motor is activated. Pedaling over 11 mph in the low speed setting
recharges the battery. This recharging is called “regeneration”. Fig.3 (To learn more about regeneration, refer
to page 9).

OPERATIONS AND FEATURES CHARGING
Speed Selection
Your ZAP Power System is equipped with a 2-speed controller.
This controller has speeds of Low (10 mph maximum) and High
(18 mph maximum). You must pedal to start. Your actual speed
depends on a number of variables such as how much you pedal,
rider weight, tire pressure, incline angle, wind resistance,
etc.(see page 13). The low speed is used for slow acceleration
and is the most efficient of the speeds (i.e. it uses less energy
for distance traveled). The high speed is used for quick acceleration and higher speed cruising.
battery life. There are two ways to charge your battery. The ZAP
battery charger connects to the Battery Power Connector locat
the battery tray. Using any other charger will damage the
battery.
To Connect Charger:
Throttle Switch
For safety, the Throttle Switch is a spring loaded, two-speed
selector switch. When released, it will return to the off position.
When the switch is pushed away from the rider, it activates the
low speed. When the switch is pulled toward the rider, it activates the high speed. It is recommended that the switch be
mounted in such a way that it can be activated with the index finger of the left hand. We have found this to be the most comfortable position.
Main Power Switch
The main power switch is a black button located on the left side
of the battery tray. Power to the system can be turned either on
or off by pushing the button until it clicks.
Cam Lever
The Cam Lever on your ZAP Motor Unit can either be in the up
(disengaged) or down (engaged) position. Your ZAP Power
System will operate with the lever in the engaged position. The
Cam Lever in the disengaged position is used for full time nonelectric assist (pedaling only).
Circuit Breaker
Your ZAP Power System is equipped with an automatically
resetting circuit breaker. If you are drawing more than 60 amps
of current, it will momentarily shut off. The circuit breaker will
reset in a few seconds. The system will continue to shut down
until the current draw is less than 60 amps. If your system shuts
off you should move the Throttle Switch to the low position. The
circuit breaker is necessary to protect your motors from damage.
Efficiency
The ZAP Power System is an accessory to, not a replacement
for, your human power. The rider needs to always pedal to operate the ZAP Power System. The efficiency of the system is
greatly controlled by the rider. When the rider pedals more, the
efficiency of the system is dramatically increased. It takes four
times as much energy to accelerate from a dead stop in high
speed than low speed. The rider must always pedal to start
and use the Throttle Switch in the low position and move to the
high speed as needed. It may be possible to pedal, then start
out in the high position, but this will greatly reduce the range
and may trip the circuit breaker. (see page 13).
Safety
You are adding weight to your bicycle when you install a ZAP
Power System. This will change the riding and handling characteristics of your bicycle. The rider should always be capable
of riding the bicycle with the system installed, but not activated.
The brakes should be capable of stopping the bike even
with the power on at any speed. The rider must obey all local
traffic laws. (SEE PAGE 10-11 FOR COMPLETE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS).

SAFETY WARNINGS
THE PURPOSE OF SAFETY SYMBOLS IS TO ATTRACT YOUR ATTENTION TO
POSSIBLE DANGERS. THE SAFETY SYMBOLS, AND THE EXPLANATIONS
WITH THEM , DESERVE YOUR CAREFUL ATTENTION AND UNDERSTANDING.
THE SAFETY WARNINGS BY THEMSELVES DO NOT ELIMINATE ANY DANGER. THE INSTRUCTIONS OR WARNINGS THEY GIVE ARE NOT SUBSTITUTES FOR PROPER ACCIDENT PREVENTION MEASURES.
WARNING: Failure to obey a safety
warning can result in injury to yourself or
others. Always follow the safety precautions to reduce the risk of fire, electric
shock and personal injury.
PRE-OPERATIONAL SAFETY WARNINGS 1. Read and understand this owner’s
manual carefully before using this unit. Be
thoroughly familiar with the proper use of
your ZAP Power System.
2. Thoroughly inspect your ZAP Power System for loose
or damaged parts before each use. If there are any
loose or damaged parts, perform the needed adjustments or repairs before starting your ZAP Power
System.
GENERAL WARNINGS
1. Do not smoke while operating the ZAP
Power System. Keep ZAP Power System
away from open flames such as pilot lights,
cigarettes, etc.
2. In order to prevent damages or injuries, do not attempt
to regenerate a fully charged battery.
3. The ZAP Power System is an electrical assistance for
your leg power. Overloading the motor will cause the
motor to shut off. This may happen when climbing hills,
crossing traffic or during any situation. Ride your bicycle
in such a manner that the electrical assistance is not
necessary for maintaining control of the bicycle. Always
be prepared for the sudden loss of electrical assistance.
Also, the rider must know and obey all local laws concerning the operation of, and equipment requirements
of, electrically assisted bicycles. Make sure that your
equipment and operation of your electrically assisted
bicycle meets these standards. Failure to obey these
laws may result in severe injury or death.
BATTERY WARNINGS

Pre-Ride Checklist
It is a good idea to periodically go
through this checklist to make sure that
your ZAP Power System and your bike
are in proper adjustment for safety and
optimal performance. It is imperative
that you review this checklist before
your first ride. Although your
PowerBike®or ElectriCruizer®has
passed our Quality Assurance procedure, things can happen during shipping which may alter the adjustment of
the system.
1. Check Tire Pressure: The tires on your
ü

PowerBike®should be at their maximum tire pressure (65 PSI-pounds per square inch), and the
1/16”). Then re-tighten the motor mount bolts.
4. Check Brake Pad Alignment:

q
bike mechanic at a bicycle store.
5. Check Battery Tray Stability:
ü
q
tires on your ElectriCruizer®should be at 40 PSI.
If you installed a kit on your own bike, then check
to see that the tire pressure is at the recommended value for the tires you have.
2. Check Motor Alignment: Make sure
ü
q
the roller is centered on the tire so that there isn’t
a possibility of one of the motors rubbing against
the tire. If it needs adjustment, simply loosen the
motor mount bolts, center the system and re-tighten. Wheels should be running straight & true.
3. Check Motor Engagement: Make sure
ü
q
that the roller engages and compresses the tire by
approximately 1/16” when the cam lever is in the
down position. If it is more or less, loosen the
(which may strip the clamps).
6. Be sure all wire connections, espe-

Battery Care
Your ZAP Power System should be stored and charged at temperatures between 50° F (10° C) and 100° F (38° C).
Batteries must be recycled. To preserve natural resources, please recycle or dispose of properly. Local, state or federal
Upon the removal of the battery, cover
the terminals with heavy duty adhesive
tape. Do not attempt to destroy or dis
-
assemble battery pack or remove any of its components.
Also, never touch both terminals with metal objects
and/or body parts as short circuit may result. Keep away
from children. Failure to comply with these warnings
To ensure your new ZAP battery gives its best performance,
these following suggestions must be followed.
1)
2) Keep your battery charged. Batteries stored for long periods of time will self-discharge. The higher the
temperature, the greater the rate of self-discharge.
3) Keep the terminals clean and tight.
4) Handle it with care (don’t drop it).
5) Recharge your battery as soon as you can after riding. The ZAP battery will take 4-10 cycles of riding and
charging to bring the battery up to its full potential. Greater depth of discharge on a continual basis will
diminish the overall life of the battery (see charts below).
BATTERY PACK REPLACEMENT
laws may prohibit disposal of lead-acid batteries in ordinary trash. Consult your local waste authority for information
regarding available recycling and/or disposal options.
REPLACING THE BATTERY
