CHAPTER 10: PUMPING THE TYRES
STEP 1
Pump front and rear tyres. Tyre pressure should be in the range specified on the tyre.
CHAPTER 11: REMOVING THICK RUBBER HAIRS ON TYRES
STEP 1
Please inspect both tyres, there might be one or two thick rubber hairs on each tyre .
Please remove them from the tyres as they might hit the brake pads or the wheel lock while you ride the bike and make some noise.
CHAPTER 12: REAR DERAILLEUR ADJUSTMENT
STEP 1
Rear Derailleur is adjusted in the factory but due to part movements during shipment, slight re-adjustments might be necessary. Derailleur adjustment are done by barrel adjuster and “H” and “L” screws as shown in photo 1. Please refer to the video in the link below:
How to Adjust a Rear Derailleur – Limit Screws & Indexing
IMPORTANT: Please note as the derailleur is already adjusted in the factory, any issues in changing gear between gear #2 to #6, should be easily solved by turning the barrel adjuster (As per instructions in the video). After the gears are smoothly changed between gear #2 to #6, please test gear #1 (the largest cog) and #7
(the smallest cog). If you have any issues on gear #1, you need to adjust the “L” screw and if you have any issues on gear #7, you need to adjust the “H” screw as explained in the video.
CHAPTER 13: V-BRAKE ADJUSTMENT
STEP 1
Rear brake has been adjusted in the factory, so in general no further adjustment is required. For the front brake the steps are explained briefly below. If you require further information, please watch the video provided at the end of this section.
STEP 2
Using an Allen key, loosen the brake pad bolt on one side. Push the brake arm towards the wheel and adjust the brake pad so that it places exactly on the rim without touching the tire as shown in photo 1. Now, while holding the brake pad, tighten the bolt again. Do the same on the other side.
STEP 3
Push the brake levers towards each other and put the brake noodle inside the noodle holder (photo 2). If you can’t put the brake noodle inside the noodle holder because the cable is too short, then you should loosen the anchor bolt (highlighted in photo 2), extend the length of the brake cable and tighten the anchor bolt
STEP 4
At this step, the distance from each brake pad to the rim might not be the same (we will center the brakes later in this step). However, the sum of space from both brake pads to the rim should not be more than 4 mm. You can adjust the distance of the brake pads to the rim by loosening the anchor bolt, adjusting the length of the brake cable, and tightening the bolt again.
STEP 5
If the right and left brake pads do not have the same distance from the rim, you can center the brakes by adjusting the "Spring tension centering screws" located on both brake arms.
On the side that is closer to the rim, you should tighten this screw a bit and on the side that is farther from the rim, loosen this screw a bit until the distance from both pads to the rim is the same. If you can’t make both brake pads having the same distance from the rim with the “spring tension centering screws”, then probably the wheel is not centered. In that case you should loosen the wheel nuts, center the wheel (so that each side of the tyre has the same distance to the bike’s fork) and then retry to center the brake pads.
STEP 6
If you are still having difficulties adjusting the brakes, please watch the video below for more detailed information on how to adjust v Please watch the video from 3:40 to 13:30.
CHAPTER 14: OPERATING THE BIKE
STEP 1
Turning on and riding the bike: Press in the red switch under the battery (The switch is highlighted in photo).
STEP 2
Then remove the plastic seal from the front and rear lights
STEP 3
Then press and hold the power button until the bike’s LCD turns on photo .
Then by pressing the ‘+’ button, you can increase the pedal assist level from 1 to 6.
After setting the pedal assist level, you can start riding the bike.
It is suggested to always start your ride at pedal assist level 1 and then gradually increase it, if needed.
CHANGING THE BIKE POWER MODE
The bike has three power modes (eco, normal & power). The “power” mode offers the maximum power while the “eco” mode offers the least power but the max range and the “normal” mode offers a balance between power and range. By default the bike is on “normal” mode, however if needed you can change the default mode. In order to do so, please turn on the bike, hold the “set” button for 3 seconds until “0” is shown in the bottom left corner of the LCD.
Press the “+” and “-” to change between the three power modes. Then hold the “set” button for another 3 seconds until the LCD saves the setting and exists the configuration mode. Please turn off and then on the LCD and ensure the bike stays in the mode you desire.
CHANGING THE MAX SPEED
Please hold the set button for 3 seconds until “0” is shown on the bottom left side of the LCD. Then, press set button again for another 2 times until 0 changes to 2. Now you can see the bike’s current speed limit in the middle of the LCD (25 km / h by default). Now by pressing + or – you can change the speed limit. Then press and hold the set button again until the LCD saves the changes and goes back to the normal operation mode.
UNLOCKING THE THROTTLE
Please note the bike’s throttle max speed has been limited to 6km/h to be compliant with Australian standards. However, you can unlock the limit only if you intend to use the bike for off-road use only by the following steps:
While the bike panel is off, twist the throttle to the max and pull and hold one brake lever
While the throttle is twisted to the max and one brake lever is pulled, turn on and then off the bike’s panel three times.
Now release the throttle and brake one more time Turn on the panel. Now the 6 km limit is removed.
You can put the throttle speed limit back, by doing the above steps one more time. Please note riding the bike with unlocked throttle on public roads is illegal, so please remember to put back the limit before riding the bike on public roads. In order to use the throttle, the bike pedal assist level should not be on zero. If the silver button on the throttle is pushed in, the throttle works from a standstill. If the button is not pushed in, you need to twist the throttle and pedal once for the throttle to kick in. It would be better to put the bike on power mode if you need more power in pedal-assist mode or throttle mode. It would be better to put the bike on power mode, if you need more power in pedal assist mode or throttle mode.
NOTE: Unlocking the throttle will put additional strain on the motor if used as the primary source of propulsion. This needs to be taken into consideration and used with care so as not to damage the electrical components from overuse.
