Your new bicycle was partially assembled in the factory and then partially disassembled for shipping. You may have purchased the bicycle already fully assembled and ready to ride OR in the shipping carton in the partially disassembled form. The following instructions will enable you to prepare your bicycle for years of enjoyable cycling. For more details on inspection, lubrication, maintenance and adjustment of any area please refer to the relevant sections in this manual.
BEFORE YOU RIDE P A R T 2 - Before you ride ABOUT THIS MANUAL It is important for you to understand your new bicycle. By reading this manual before you go out on your first ride, you’ll know how to get better performance, comfort, and enjoyment from your new bicycle. It is also important that your first ride on your new bicycle is taken in a controlled environment, away from cars, obstacles, and other distractions. GENERAL WARNING Bicycling can be a hazardous activity even under the best of circumstances.
Seat Height RIDING POSITION In order to obtain the most comfortable riding position and offer the best possible pedaling efficiency, the seat height should be set correctly in relation to the rider’s leg length. The correct seat height should not allow leg strain from overextension, and the hips should not rock from side to side when pedaling. While sitting on the bicycle with one pedal at its lowest point, place the ball of your foot on that pedal.
Stem Wedge Bolt Handlebar Adjustment & Height Handlebar Binder Bolt Exceeds 2 1/2” (64mm) Maximum/ Minimum Insertion Mark Handlebar height Maximum comfort is usually obtained when the handlebar height is equal to or slightly higher than the height of the seat. You may wish to try different heights to find the most comfortable position. 8 The stem’s “Minimum insertion” mark must not be visible above the top of the headset.
SAFETY CHECKLIST Before first initial ride and every ride after, it is important to carry out the following safety checks: 1. Brakes • Ensure front and rear brakes work properly. • Ensure brake calipers are not over worn and are correctly adjusted. • Ensure brake control cables are lubricated, correctly adjusted and display no obvious wear. • Ensure brake control levers are lubricated and tightly secured to the handlebar. • Ensure brake cables are positioned in slot and correctly tightened. 2.
• • Ensure shift and brake levers are attached to the handlebar, shift and brake. Ensure derailleurs, shift levers and shift and brake cables are properly lubricated. 8. Frame and Fork • Check that the frame and fork are not bent or broken. • If either is bent or broken, they should be replaced. 9. Accessories • Ensure that all reflectors are properly fitted and not obscured. • Ensure all other fittings on the bike are properly and securely fastened, and functioning.
9. Regularly clean and lubricate all moving parts, tighten components and make adjustments as required. 10. The use of alloy components and BED, SATIN and TITANIUM surface treatments minimizes the number of places where rust can surface THROTTLE TAG (TWIST AND GO) Before you begin riding, turn the main power switch on, then start riding as you would ride any regular, non motor assisted bicycle. After you have begun to ride, slowly twist the throttle (on equipped models) towards you.
charged for a long period of time, the batteries may reach a stage at which they will no longer hold a charge. • Be friendly to the environment! Be sure to recycle your old batteries at a local battery-recycling center. Do not throw them in the garbage! STORAGE When storing your batteries for a long period of time (longer than two months): BATTERY PACK SHOULD BE REMOVED FROM BIKE WHEN YOUR BIKE IS NOT IN USE FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME. • Charge your batteries every 90 days to avoid capacity loss.
CHARGER The electric bicycle comes with its own "Smart Charger” that connects with an easy-access charger port for recharging the batteries. This charger unit has lights that show the battery charge status. Refer to the instructions that appear on the charger unit and its instructions. Batteries work best when they have a full charge, so always be sure to recharge them fully after each ride. If you leave them in a run-down condition, without recharging them, it will shorten their life expectancy.
STEM AND HANDLEBARS (STANDARD QUILL-TYPE 1. Remove the protective shipping cap from the stem wedge. 2. Remove the Stem Plug from the stem. Loosen the Stem Bolt with a 6mm allen wrench or 13mm box wrench. 3. Insert the stem into the head tube of the bicycle. Ensure that the Minimum Insertion Line is below the top nut of the headset. 14 4. Align the stem and handlebar so it is in line with the front wheel. 5. Tighten the Stem Bolt with a 6mm Allen wrench. Reinsert the Stem Plug into the stem. 6.
WARNING: MINIMUM INSERTION LINE MUST BE HIDDEN WITHIN THE HEADTUBE OF THE BICYCLE. Binder Bolt if the stem is not inserted into the top nut to at least the stem bolt. ! Stem Bolt NOTE: Some models of bicycles may be equipped with a stem that has an adjustable angle. In addition to the normal assembly, these Top Nut Top Nut Wedge 15 Minimum stems will require angling the stem to the desired position, and securely tightening the 6mm Allen bolt located underneath the stem.

Insert the compression bolt through the top cap and the stem. Begin threading into the star nut. 2. Tighten compression bolt so it removes all play from the fork, but allows the fork to rotate smoothly. 3. Align the stem with the front wheel.
FIGURE 1 Forks ! There are two different types of forks that vary in styles and dimensions. One type is a rigid fork (Figure 1) consisting of stationary tubing with curved blades. The other type is a suspension fork (Figure 2) consisting of inner stanchion tubes riding on elastomers or springs inside of a straight outer fork leg. This mechanism acts as a shock absorber with a specified amount of travel that varies between models.
Seat Fixing Bolt Seat Clamp Nuts SEAT AND SEAT POST Your bicycle may come equipped with either a standard or a micro-adjustable seat post. Standard seat post Attach the seat to the seat post by first loosening the nuts on the seat clamp. Insert the tapered end of the seat post into the seat clamp until it is at the top of the clamp.
Figure 2 Figure 1 Figure 3 Figure 4 Figure 5 INSTALLING THE FRONT WHEEL 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Make sure the brakes are loose enough to allow the brake pads easily. Place wheel into fork drop outs (Figure 1). Insert Quick Release Axle (Figure 2) as shown in Figure 3 & 4 with nut. When axle is in place, push lever down on axle to lock into place (Figure 5). Spin the wheel to make sure it is centered and clears the brake shoes. Tighten brakes if necessary.
DISC BRAKES 1. Check the tightness of the six disc mounting bolts holding the brake rotor onto the wheel. If you need to remove these bolts, be sure to us a thread-locking compound when re-installing them. 20 2. Make sure the two bolts securing the caliper adaptor bracket to the fork are tight. 3. Thread the brake cable through the caliper as shown and secure it with the cable fixing bolt. 4. Loosen the two caliper mounting bolts enough to allow the brake caliper to float freely.
DERAILLEUR SYSTEMS Freewheel Pulley Adjustment Screw The derailleur system includes the front and rear derailleurs, the shift levers, and the derailleur control cables, all of which must function correctly for smooth gear shifting to occur.
Drivetrain 36The drivetrain of a bicycle refers to all parts that transmit power to the rear wheel including the pedals, chain, chain wheel, crank set and freewheel. Pedals Pedals are available in a variety of shapes, sizes and materials, and each are designed with a particular purpose in mind. Some pedals can be fitted with toe clips and straps. These help to keep the feet correctly positioned and allow the rider to exert pulling force, as well as downward pressure, on the pedals.

How To Check Battery Terminals If Battery Not Charging Properly 1.) 2.) 3.) 4.) 5.) Remove battery pack from bike Remove cap from end of battery that has the Four Slots (Key end). Remove cover plate. You are now able to look at the Red and Black wires; the Two Black wires should be on the same side as the Key. If the Black wires are not on the side of the Key carefully open the Terminal Block Cover. *Note: if the Red and Black wires touch they may spark, keep them separate to avoid this. 6.
After the cable is secured to the caliper, squeeze the lever several times to see if the brake rubs. At this point in time adjust the brake pads inward or outward depending on if the brake is rubbing or if there is a space between the pad(s) and rotor. (hint: a half turn of adjustment inward of the brake pad can be the difference between having a brake lever that feels spongy to one that is not.) How To Replace Brake Lever 1.) 2.) 3.) 4.) Loosen brake cable at caliper to gain slack in cable.
7.) With the wire connector removed from the wires you can now remove the wheel assembly. How To Replace Pedal Shaft (Left & Right is based on sitting on bicycle) Keep parts laid out in order for easier installment. Make yourself a drawing if needed and label each part when removed. 1.) Remove plastic pedal arm cover, that covers center shaft and nut and remove the nut and pull arm off of shaft. (Make note of distance inner ring sticks out from outer ring to be used later for reassembly) 2.
