CHARGING IN
PROGRESS
CHARGE
COMPLETE
If your BATRIBIKE is not in use for an extended period it is
imperative that you charge the battery before storage and then
charge the battery once a month to prevent deterioration.
When not in use, store the battery in a warm, dry place.
If Lithium batteries are left flat for an
extended period then they may no
longer be functional and a new
replacement will be required.
With correct User Care as outlined above your battery should give many miles
of assisted riding.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW
THIS PROCEDURE WILL
INVALIDATE YOUR
BATTERY WARRANTY
The battery does not have to be completely discharged before it is recharged.
The Lithium battery has no "memory" and therefore can be charged at any time.
It is perfectly acceptable to recharge the battery after a short ride so that the
battery is fully charged before the next ride.

The upper right corner of the LCD will
normally display the current speed of the
bicycle.
This can be set to Miles per Hour (MPH) or
Kilometres per Hour (KMH). The display is
accurate to about 10% when the wheel size
is correctly calibrated and the tyre inflated as per the
manufacturers recommendations.
Speed Display
To change from MPH to KMH or
vice versa, press the DOWN
button and hold for 10 seconds.
(Until the MPH or KMH indicator
changes).
Wheel Size Setting
It is important to set the correct wheel size to calibrate
the display so that reasonably accurate speed and
distance can be shown.
The DASH model is
supplied with a 20" wheel and
has been set to 20.2/1590 prior
to leaving the factory.
This setting should not be
changed.

PEDAL ASSISTANCE FROM THE MOTOR
LEVEL
PERFORMANCE
Provides maximum power when
negotiating hills and head winds.
Great when needing to simply get from
A to B as fast as possible.
Great for commuting to work.
EXAMPLE OF USAGE
Normal Use Mode.
These are the levels to use for everyday
cycling. Gives good performance whilst
maximising usable range per charge.
Best for Leisure Use.
Use these lower power levels when
negotiating busy cycle paths and
crowded areas. Also use when setting
off and gradually increase through the
levels for a smoother performance.
Ideal for negotiating obstacles.
There are 6 levels of pedal assistance
available from the motor. Using the UP and
DOWN buttons you can select from level 1
(LOW) to 6 (HIGH). The motor will then be
activated upon pedalling. There is a rotation
sensor located near the crank which senses
when the pedals are being used.
Pedal Assistance
Please remember that the above values are provided as a guide.
Due to manufacturing tolerances the speeds & distances may vary.
40 miles
12 - 13 MPH
60 miles
9 - 12 MPH
Range Not Tested
7 - 9 MPH
Range Not Tested
5 - 7 MPH
32 miles
13 - 15 MPH
28 miles
15.5 MPH

13
Weather and terrain will affect the performance. In hilly areas or
when the bike is heavily loaded there will be a significant increase
in the power used from the battery and hence the range will
decrease accordingly. A lightly loaded bike will achieve higher
performance levels. (These results were obtained by test riders in
optimal conditions - 75kg rider, level ground, no wind).
Other Functions
The Display can also show diagnostic information in
the event of a malfunction.
If an error occurs the display will show a SPANNER
icon as shown left, together with a Service Code.
Make a note of the CODE and turn off the bicycle
power.
After 2 minutes turn on the power again. If the CODE
re-occurs contact your dealer for assistance.

14
If the assistance level is set to 0, (ZERO) then the
motor will not be turned on. Your BATRIBIKE will now
act and feel like a normal bicycle. This is useful when
you are feeling fit at the start of a journey or using
your bike for exercise purposes. Power is still only a
button press away.
No Assistance - Normal Pedal Bicycle
To activate the throttle, select AUTO mode. The
"AUTO" indicator will be displayed on the LCD panel.
In this mode the throttle on the right handlebar, (thumb
throttle), is now live. In all other assistance levels the
throttle is not functional.
You can still pedal the bike but power will not be applied until the
throttle is activated. To activate, push the thumb lever downwards.
Use the throttle control gently. A small push will apply a small
amount of power. Pushing more will increase the power until the
control is fully rotated at which point full motor power will be
applied.
Throttle assistance can also be used without pedalling.
A handy way to use the throttle is to pull away from junctions, or
when starting on inclines as the rider will pull away easier and is
less likely to wobble. It can also be very useful for pulling out and
overtaking slower cyclists smoothly and quickly.
Using the Throttle - Country Specific
PLEASE NOTE:
The throttle control is not activated for some countries due to legal
restrictions. Please refer to your dealer for help and advice.

15
If you want help in setting off on inclines or to
get a smooth getaway at junctions and traffic
lights, there is a system available whereby
the motor can be applied even when no
assistance is selected. This is known as
Launch Assist and is activated by holding
down the UP button for 2 seconds.
Launch Assist
The motor will be switched on in low speed
and will continue on until the UP button is
released. The bicycle will be powered at
approximately 4 MPH, (6 KMH).
The system is designed for intermittent use
and should not be used for more than a few
seconds at a time. If you want continuous
power then one of the Assist modes should
be selected.
BS EN15194 Compliance
The BATRIBIKE DASH conforms to BS EN15194.
For the British market, the addition of a throttle control has
rendered this not compliant in some countries.
●You are recommended to seek advice from the relevant
authorities in the country you are visiting before travelling.

16
CYCLE COMPUTER
The LCD models have useful Cycle Computer functions built in. There is
a built in sensor and pickup located in the rear hub which activates the
speed and distance readings.
The default display mode will
show the TOTAL DISTANCE
travelled by the bike. This
cannot be reset by the user or
dealer.
Depending on the units
selected, the display will read in
Miles or Kilometres
Total Distance
To change the display to show the next Cycle
Computer Function, simply press the SET
button momentarily. Repeat until the desired
mode is displayed.
Changing Modes
When the TRIP DISTANCE icon is
selected the lower right of the display will
show the distance travelled since the last
reset. This will show in Miles or Km
depending on the units selected.
Total Distance

17
When the TRIP TIME icon is selected, the lower
right of the display will show the time spent
cycling since the last reset.
This will show in hours and minutes.
Trip Time
When the MAXIMUM SPEED icon is
selected the lower right of the display
will show the maximum speed
reached since the last reset. This will
display in Miles or Km depending on
the units selected.
Maximum Speed
The display can be set to “roll” through the above values
automatically. Press the SET button to select the ROLLING
DISPLAY icon.
Rolling Display Mode
The display will change every few seconds to show each of the values in
turn. TOTAL DISTANCE, TRIP TIME, TRIP DISTANCE, MAXIMUM
SPEED then return to TOTAL DISTANCE to start the sequence again.
Resetting the TRIP
The TRIP functions of TIME, DISTANCE and
MAXIMUM SPEED can be reset to zero by
pressing and holding the DOWN button for 5
seconds. The values will be reset to zero.
The TOTAL DISTANCE will not be reset.

STANDARD BICYCLE FUNCTIONS
Gears
The DASH is provided with 6 speed Shimano
gears. To change gear you use the right
handlebar mounted selector. Gear number 1 is
low for hills and rough terrain and gear 6 is high
for normal road use. To increase the gear simply
press the + button with your right thumb. To
decrease the gear push the black lever away from
you with your thumb. You must be pedalling
forwards as you change gears.
Lights
Lights are provided on your BATRIBIKE bicycle. These are power
efficient LED units which achieve a long life on each set of batteries.
SAFETY FEATURE - The power for the rear light is kept separate
from the main power supply so that in
the event that the battery is exhausted
you will still have lights for safety.
The front light is powered by the main
battery and is switched on by the black
push button switch at the top of the unit.
The rear light requires 2 AA
batteries.
You will require a small Philips
screwdriver to take off the red lens
for battery replacement. It is
switched on and off by the switch on
the right side of the unit.

19
Bell
The bell is integrated into the left
brake lever. To operate the bell, pull
the small lever towards the handlebar
grip, then release.
Braking
To stop, release the throttle and pull
the brake levers.
Side Stand
To put the bicycle on its stand:-
1) While holding the bicycle upright, push the stand to its full
extent.
2) Lean the bicycle over onto the stand.
Make sure bicycle is on solid ground.
Do not sit on the bicycle whilst the stand is down. It is
designed to take the weight of the bicycle and not the
additional weight of the rider.
