Section II- Electrical Components Operation, Maintenance, & Safety
The e-bike in this manual features “Start Aid”. This electric assistance system will help
riders save their energy when starting the bike rolling.
How Start Aid Works: When pressing the Start Aid button, the bike can be started at a
speed of ~3.5MPH (6km/h). When the bike starts moving forward, start to pedal and
release the “Start Aid” button.
Note: You can pedal one crank revolution to start the motor without using the “Start
Aid “button. You can also start the motor directly by turning the throttle, DO NOT
TURN THE THROTTLE TO THE END WHEN YOU ARE NOT READY!

Your new electric assistance bicycle is a revolutionary means of transport, using
an aluminum frame, Li-Ion battery, a super high eciency electric hub motor, and
controller with electric pedal assistance system, to support normal pedaling. These
components will ensure safe riding with excellent function and performance. It is
important for you to note the following guidelines to ensure getting the best possible
experience from your electric bicycle.
2.1 Always check your bicycle before riding.
2.1.1 Before riding, check that the tires are fully inated as indicated on the tire
sidewall.
Remember, performance of the bike and battery range is directly related to the weight
of the rider and baggage/load, together with the stored energy in the battery. Battery
range/performance can vary signicantly based on terrain, load, & weather conditions.
2.1.2 Charge overnight, prior to riding the next day.
2.1.3 Clean and apply chain lube periodically as needed. With a soft rag or towel, wipe
