QUIETKAT APEX OWNER'S MANUAL QUIETKAT OWNER'S MANUAL
WARNING: READ MANUAL. Failure to comply with the following warnings and instructions
can lead to serious injury or death. Save this manual.
The user assumes the responsibility for the risk of injury or death as a result of riding or using QuietKat
products. It is the responsibility of the user to know and obey all local laws, rules, and regulations regarding the
use of electric assisted bicycles.
Bicycling is a dangerous activity. Crashing on an ebike, even at low speed, can result in serious injury or
death. Always ride within your limits. Do not use this product if you are under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or
medications. For outdoor use only.
eBikes are heavier, accelerate faster, can achieve higher speeds more quickly and maintain those speeds
for longer periods of time compared to regular bicycles. These features can dramatically aect the handling,
braking and cornering of your eBike, which means you must exercise more caution around other people and
when cornering, accelerating and slowing down. It is recommended that you get to know the functionality and
intricacies of accelerating and decelerating your eBike in an area away from people and cars/trac.
QuietKat is designed for riders 16 years of age or older. Adult supervision is required for any operator under the
age of 18. Never allow a child to alter the settings of your QuietKat or to ride without adult supervision.
QuietKat ebikes are designed for ONE (1) rider only.
Always keep your feet on the pedals when in motion.
Always wear a helmet when you ride. Motorcycle or bicycle helmets can be appropriate for use on an e-bike.
Choose a helmet that meets local regulations for use in the type of riding you intend to do. We recommend
choosing a helmet that has the most head coverage.
Always obey all laws, rules, and/or regulations regarding the use of electric assisted bicycles.
Proper maintenance is required. Failure to maintain your QuietKat and keep your bike in proper operating
condition can lead to an accident resulting in property damage, injury, and/or death.
If your bike has the ability to change classes:
- Always come to a complete stop before changing classes
- It is the responsibility of the rider to ensure he/she is following local and state laws regarding ebike class.
Risk of Electric Shock – Following Battery Care and Charging instructions carefully
Turn o bike and remove the battery before performing any repairs or maintenance. Any turning of the cranks
will cause the motor to engage, which could result in injury.
Always inspect that the bike is in proper working condition and that all components are undamaged before
each ride.
Ebikes are heavier than normal bikes and may require increased stopping time at the same speed than a
normal bike. QuietKat recommends become familiar with all aspects of the bike (mounting, steering, breaking,
etc.) before heading out on a ride.
Do not touch any moving parts of the ebike.
Do not ride faster or more aggressively than the conditions permit, or beyond your ability.
Do not ride at night or under low visibility conditions without proper lighting and safety practices. Headlights,
tail lights, and reflective tape or clothing are recommended if riding in low light or at night.
WARNINGS
Under wet conditions, the stopping power of your brakes (as well as the brakes of other vehicles sharing the
road) is dramatically reduced and your tires don't grip nearly as well. This makes it harder to control speed and
easier to lose control. To make sure that you can slow down and stop safely in wet conditions, ride more slowly
and apply your brakes earlier and more gradually than you would under normal, dry conditions.
Riders must have the physical coordination, reaction time and mental capacity to ride and manage trac, road
conditions, sudden situations, as well as respect and obey the local laws governing bicycle and electric bicycle use.
If you have an impairment or disability, consult your physician before riding any bicycle.
CHOKING HAZARD: Small parts. Keep away from children 3 years and below. Adult assembly required.
CAUTION: Failure to comply with the following instructions can result in serious injury or death.
Other personal safety items highly recommended are gloves, wrist, elbow, knee/shin, and eye protection.
Failure to use appropriate safety equipment can increase the risk of injury.
Avoid baggy or loose clothing while operating your QuietKat.
Always wear closed toe shoes while riding an e-bike.
Long hair, loose clothing or loose items worn by the rider must be secured to prevent interference with moving
parts or the surroundings.
Do not exceed the weight limit. Exceeding the weight limit may significantly reduce performance and/or render
the vehicle unstable and/or exceed the capability of the brakes and other control devices. Exceeding the
weight limit may cause structural damage not covered by the warranty. Specific model weight limits can be
found on www.quietkat.com.
Be aware, some parts such as brake rotors can become extremely hot during use. Avoid contact with these
components until properly cooled.
Do not submerge this vehicle in water.
The rider should be securely seated on the unit ready to ride before turning the power on.
If you need to walk the bike, you can toggle the display to walk mode, then press and hold the (-) button on the
keypad. Holding the (-) button will engage the motor at a walking pace to make it easier to walk alongside the
bike in tricky terrain.
If you have any questions about the proper care and maintenance of this vehicle consult your dealer/distributor
or contact QuietKat Customer Service.
Because it is impossible to anticipate every situation or condition which can occur while riding, this manual
makes no representation about the safe use of the bicycle under all conditions. There are risks associated with
the use of a bicycle which cannot be predicted or avoided, and which are the sole responsibility of the rider.
Class Guidance:
The Apex has the ability to change
classes. These class parameters
are defined below. When the ebike
reaches maximum speed based on
the chosen class, the motor will no
longer assist, but the bike may
still accelerate due to pedaling
or gravity.
