PREPARATION FOR RIDING
We recommend having your 345 checked over by a reputable bike store
before taking it out for its first ride.
Extreme care should be taken when using the pedal assistance sensor and throttle
on this product. Ensure you understand and are prepared for the power assistance
to engage as soon as pedalling is underway.
Users must understand the operation of the pedal assistance sensors and thumb
throttle (sold separately) before using the bike and take ample care in their usage in
respect to traveling at speeds appropriate for the usage area, riding conditions, and
user experience level. Always use the lowest assist level until you are comfortable
with the bike and feel confident in controlling the power.
Check the following before riding:
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Make sure you are familiar with the information on your bike’s display and fully
understand the function of the buttons. Please consult the Display section of the
manual if you are unsure before operating the bike.
WHEELS
Check the tyre pressure and make sure it is the correct value. Tyre pressure
requirements can be found on the sidewall of the tyre. Lift the font tyre off the
ground and spin the tyre to make sure they rotate smoothly, are true and do not rub
significantly against the brake pads. If the wheel is not true or rubs heavily on the
brake pads take the bike to a reputable bike shop to have the wheel checked out.
HEADSET
To check the headset is properly secure stand in front of your bike with the front
wheel firmly between your legs. Turn the handle bars to check for movement. If
movement occurs, realign your handlebar and tighten the headset and headpost.
BRAKES
Check the brakes by pulling both brake levers. You should feel an obvious pressure
point. Standing next to the bike rock it back and forth making sure the brakes stay
locked and the bike does not roll forward of back. The break levers should not touch
the handlebar.
