ATTENTION: When riding down hills, do not turn off the power, otherwise the controller and motor will
be easily damaged which is NOT covered under warranty.
While running, if the battery power is getting low, the battery meter will lessen. At this time you should
pedal your e-bike like a regular bike and charge the battery as soon as you get to an electrical outlet.
Turn off the power while parking. If you decide to push your bike for any reason, make sure to turn the
power off, so you don’t accidentally turn the throttle making the electric bicycle start suddenly and
cause an accident. To help get the best distance out of your electric bike, refrain from a lot of braking
and coast as much as possible.
5 Important Instructions
Safeguard your battery to insure continued high performance.
The normal full-cycle battery life, if it is continuously discharged and recharged, is between 400–600
cycles) after which the storage capacity of the battery will gradually decline.
CAUTION! Fully charge the batteries before the first use!
Failure to do this can result in decreased battery performance for the life of the bike.
Make sure battery is fully charged before you use the bike.
Battery performance is affected by the temperature and is generally better in warm temperatures.
When the temperature is below 32º F (0º C), the battery current may decrease by a third. Consequently,
the travel range on a full charge in cold environments is much less, but will return to normal when the
temperature is back to room temperature.
Frequent stopping and starting, riding uphill, traveling against a strong wind, starting from a standstill,
riding on rough or muddy roads, and carrying more than one person or heavy loads will consume extra
battery power and shorten the range.
A few tips to prolong the battery life during these conditions is as follows:
Frequent braking – try to look ahead and coast rather than frequently stopping and starting.
Riding uphill or against a stiff wind – pedal to supplement the battery power
When starting from a standstill, use the pedals to help bring you up to speed.
When the battery meter indicates the voltage is low, switch to manual power and avoid using the
battery, so you don’t shorten the battery life.
