Operation and Safety Instructions
For your personal safety, you must pay attention to the following
safe use of the BirdBike:
• It is recommended to always wear a helmet when riding.
• Do not exceed the maximum load of 265 lbs (120.2 kg) and no
more than one rider at a time.
• When riding in rain or snow, it will take longer to slow the
vehicle, so be aware of braking earlier than normal.
• Try to avoid riding in severe weather, such as heavy rain,
snow, or wind.
For your personal safety, you must pay attention to the following
safe use of electric bicycles:
• Do not park the BirdBike in building halls, evacuation stairs, or
walkways.
• Do not charge or park the BirdBike in residential buildings.
Keep away from combustibles when charging, and do not
leave charging for an extended period of time.
The battery should be used and maintained correctly in
accordance with the method required by this manual. The
battery should not be disassembled without authorization
and should be recycled by professional experts.
• The charger should be used and maintained correctly in
accordance with the method required by this manual.
• Carefully read the warning labels and instructions of the
charger before use. When replacing the charger, it should be
purchased from Bird only.
• Before washing the ebike, you should read and understand
the part of the manual about the "Precautions for washing".
• When adjusting the handlebars or saddles, care should be
taken not to expose the safety marks of the handlebars and
saddles.
• Always check your BirdBike before riding. If there are any
issues found, please seek professional assistance with
solving the issue or repair.
• Always check whether the front and rear brakes work
normally.
• Always check that handlebars, front and rear wheels, and all
other parts of the BirdBike are tightened properly.
Precautions while riding:
• Pay attention and observe all pedestrians, vehicles,
obstacles, and others using the road at all times.
READ BEFORE RIDING
28
• Do not drive under the influence of alcohol.
• Anyone who suffers from diseases such as hypertension,
hernia, concussion, epilepsy, and cardiovascular disease
should not ride the BirdBike.
• Do not follow motor vehicles too closely (because they may
slow down or turn at any time), and always pay attention to
the brakes.
• Do not touch things on the road with your feet while riding.
• While riding at high speed, be sure to brake the bike slowly,
and do not brake suddenly under any circumstances.
• When driving at night, slow down, drive with caution and use
the lights of the vehicle.
• Try to ride in designated bicycle lanes or the edge of the
road, in the direction of traffic flow.
• Stop at stop signs, slow down and watch traffic at
intersections.
• Jackets, boots, trousers, gloves, etc. are effective protective
clothing to prevent abrasions if an accident were to occur
while riding. It is recommended to wear them to protect
yourself.
• •Do not wear loose clothing to avoid the risk of
entanglementin the moving parts of the BirdBike.
• Please wear appropriate safety equipment according to the
type of riding you plan to do. It is best to wear a pair of sports
sunglasses, which can reduce the damage of ultraviolet rays
to the eyes and protect the eyes from tree branches and
flying rocks or stones.
• Please perform regular maintenance and inspection of your
BirdBike.
• Please do not replace any parts by yourself to avoid damage.
• If any parts are damaged while riding that affect safety,
please stop riding immediately.
• You should not listen to music while riding (because when
you listen, it distracts your attention, and you cannot hear the
sound of horns or other sounds of motor vehicles, which is
very dangerous)
• If you have any problems while riding, please resolve the
problem if possible or contact Bird support for help.
Precautions for washing the BirdBike:
• When washing the BirdBike, do not directly pour water on
the motor and the front and rear axles to prevent water from
affecting the performance and life of the product. When
washing the BirdBike, do not use a strong steam or
high-pressure water spray.
• After washing the vehicle or riding through water, pay special
attention to the working conditions of the brakes.The braking
capability may be reduced in these circumstances.

Maintenance and general troubleshooting
Inspection of handlebar and front & rear wheel:
• Move the BirdBike up, down, front, back, left and right to check
whether the handlebars and the axle nuts of the front and rear
wheels are tightened properly, whether the handlebars are
tightened properly, and whether there is any abnormal
rubbing or damage happening between parts
• Push the vehicle back and forth to check whether the front
and rear wheels rotate smoothly and without any abnormal
noise or rubbing.
• Carefully check the entire vehicle before riding and if you find
any issues, please contact a professional for repair or contact
Bird support for help.
Inspection of power circuit and lighting circuit
• Turn on the power, operate the lighting switch, check whether
the headlights and taillights are on, and if they are at normal
levels.
• Check for any damage with the lighting system.
• Check whether the power cables on the BirdBike are
connected and are operating safely as intended as well as
whether all connectors are functioning properly.
Inspection of front and rear brakes
• Adjustment of the brake lever: Pinch the front and rear brake
levers, and confirm whether the brakes are working when the
distance between the brake lever and the handlebar is ½ inch.
• Adjustment method of the front and rear brakes: The distance
between the brake and the brake lever is specified to be
between 10-20mm.
• When the brake is in a tightly gripped state, the brake pad and
the brake disc should be contacting evenly.
• The brake pads and brake discs should be replaced at the
same time (the adjustment of the rear wheel brake is the
same as that of the front wheel brake).
Battery installation status
• Confirm that the battery is in a fixed state, connected, and
operating properly.
