BEFORE THE FIRST RIDE
Charge the Battery
• The battery is not fully charged at the time of purchase. Before
riding, be sure to fully charge the battery with the provided
Shimano charger.
Hydraulic Disc Brakes Burn-In Procedure
• This procedure should be performed when the brake system is
new, and if the brake pads or rotors are replaced. Chose a safe
level area to perform this procedure. The burn-in procedure
should not be performed on the bike stand or while riding on a
dirt trail. For best results, perform the burn-in procedure one
brake at a time.
1. Pedal the bike up to a good speed and then rmly and
evenly apply the brake until you are nearly stopped.
2. As you brake each time, the bike should slow down more
quickly. The brake should feel as if it is capable of a
skidding stop; but without causing the brake to lock up.
3. Repeat this process approximately 10 times for each
brake.
Practice Shifting Gears
• Once you have performed the disc brake burn-in procedure,
take some time to practice shifting through the gears with the
assistance turned off.
• It is ideal to shift gears when the pedals are moving but not
when the drivetrain is under load. This will help protect your
drivetrain components from damage and prevent unnecessary
wear.
Once you are comfortable shifting gears, try the same procedure
with the assistance set to [ECO].
