b. Important notices
Always have your electric bicycle’s key removed from the battery when not in use, replacing a
component or performing maintenance.
Make sure your electric bicycle is properly fitted to you as described in Chapter 3 “Basic Instructions”.
Perform the mechanical safety check described in Chapter 3 “Basic Instructions” section f “Mechanical
safety check” before each ride.
You should ride your G Plus Genesis as a traditional bicycle under pedal power prior to riding under
motor power for the first time. This will allow for the familiarization of how your G Plus Genesis rides
and balances.
When riding under power for the first time, turn the variable throttle very slowly only after pedaling to a
slow speed to understand the strength of the front motor’s performance and grip on the road surface.
Always apply full front & rear brake lever pressure when attempting to mount or dismount the bicycle.
When attempting to mount or dismount the bicycle, the key should be in the off position on the battery.
Please read the battery pack and detailed charging instructions found in Chapter 8 “Battery Management” before
charging the battery pack for the first time.
You should fully charge the Li-ion LiFEPO4 battery according to the charging instructions before your first
ride.
You should always fully charge your Li-ion LiFEPO4 battery every 10 miles regardless of the amount of small
trip distances.
You should always fully charge your Li-ion LiFEPO4 battery pack after each round trip ride exceeding 7.5 miles.
Always store the battery pack in a cool and dry place.
During periods of prolonged storage, the battery pack should be charged at least once every 6 months.
Your G Plus Genesis can be ridden as a standard bicycle, it is strongly recommended that you do also assist with
pedaling upon riding which can greatly increase the distance between battery charges.
When riding under power, you can enhance distance in between charges by holding the throttle at 10% below full
throttle.
When riding under power, add as much non-powered coasting (similar to traditional pedaling) by releasing the
throttle and allowing the bicycle to freely coast under its own momentum. This will greatly increase the distance
between charges.
Familiarize yourself with throttling (10% below full), pedaling and momentum coasting to optimize the distance being
available per charge. If planning a long trip, by applying a combination of the 3 distance enhancing methods will
allow for an uninterrupted power supply for the entire ride.
