2. Quick Start 2.1 Charging The Battery Before using your ByoCycle, we advise that you charge the battery fully. This is done by firstly connecting the supplied charger to the battery then connecting the charger to the mains socket. By connecting the charger in this sequence it minimizes the chance of short circuiting the system. 2.2 Operation To start the system you need to have the battery already fitted to the bike.
2. Quick Start Cont. The bike has two modes of operation, ‘Pedelec’ mode and ‘Automatic’ mode. These work in tandem with each other so there is no need to select one or the other (as on previous ByoCycle systems). The ‘Pedelec’ function means the motor assistance will activate when one rotation of the cranks has been achieved, it will then continue to provide assistance as you pedal. The motor will cut out when the pedal strokes stop.
2. Quick Start Cont. 2.4 Parts Identification Your ByoCycle comprises of various components you should take note of. These vary from items that affect safety to the bike’s operational features. The images below lists the equipment for the various styles of ‘LED and the LCD’ Specification’ bikes.

3. Looking After Your Byocycle 3.1 Before The 1St Ride Before you embark on your 1st journey aboard your ByoCycle, we strongly recommend you familiarise yourself with the bike and its controls. Ensure your bicycle is ready to use and adjusted to fit your body. That Means: • Setting the position of the saddle and handlebars to suit your body size. • Checking the assembly and position of the brakes. • Securing the wheels onto the frame and forks. • Checking the tyre pressures.
3. Looking After Your Byocycle Cont. To ensure your tyres are at the appropriate pressure, seek the information on the side walls of the tyre. This will give you a guide for the correct pressure, personal preference will play its part here. Check your tyres for any wear marks, such as cracking in the side walls, cuts, embedded debris such as glass and/or stones, and also the general shape of the tyre to see if it is free of any bumps of bends.
3. Looking After Your Byocycle Cont. 3.4 Weekly Checks Each week your bicycle should be inspected. This will ensure that you achieve the safest riding experience possible. In the event you find the bicycle to be in need of a service please seek the advice from your ByoCycle specialist. Please Ensure The Following Items Are Done: • Clean the bike thoroughly; including chainrings, chain and gears.
3. Looking After Your Byocycle Cont. 3.7 Water Resistance Your ByoCycle is designed to be ridden in all weather conditions, this includes wet weather. The bicycle and it’s electrical components are splash resistant. However leaving your bicycle to endure the elements, without appropriate cover or protection, will cause corrosion, especially in coastal areas where salt and grit is most common. Negligence is not covered under the warranty.
4. Controls & Equipment 4.1 IBEX LED Display The LED display fitted to your ByoCycle is fitted to the lefthand side of the handlebars and serves multiple functions. The display will allow you to operate the front light as well as the power input from the motor. Using the ‘MODE’ button you can scroll through the amount of assistance you wish to receive from the motor. This is indicated by the 5 LED Lights. 4.
4. Controls & Equipment cont. 4.6 Brakes The brakes fitted to your ByoCycle are cable operated V-style brakes or disc brakes. The brake levers are fitted with motor cut-out switches. The moment pressure is applied to the brakes, even lightly, the motor will cut-out. Small adjustments can be made to the brakes, as the pads will wear over time, by unscrewing the cable guide ferrules. Motor cut out cable Cable guide Ferrules 4.
5. Battery When removing the motor wheel ensure you disconnect the motor wire at the junction point half way between the wheel and the control box. 5.1 Battery On/Off To turn the battery on, simply press the REP switch to position (1). This will make the bycycle’s electrical system live. To turn the battery ‘OFF’, press the switch to the (O) position. 5.2 Battery Display On the top of the battery is an LED indicator, this is so you can check how much power the battery has remaining.
5. Battery Cont. 5.4 Cleaning When cleaning your battery, do not use any corrosive solvents or cleaners. Ensure that the connections are free from water at all times. 5.5 Storage & Transport When storing your battery, whether it is for the short term or the long term, store in a dry & warm environment.
