3. Warnings
Electric Bikes can be dangerous to use. You assume all risk of personal
injuries, damage, or failure of the bicycle or system and all other losses or
damages to yourself and others and to any property arising as a result of
using the bike.
Please read and understand this entire manual and accompanying component manuals
before riding, or allowing anyone else to ride, your new electric bike. All others should
read this manual before you allow them to ride your bike. Bicycling involves risk of
serious harm, injury, or death like any outdoor activity. By choosing to ride a bike, you
assume the responsibility for that risk. Do not modify or replace any electrical
components on the e-bike unless it has been approved for use by Boogie Bikes. Taking
proper care of bike components is necessary and can reduce that risk, but may not
prevent serious harm, injury, or death. If you notice any abnormalities, please take the
e-bike to your local bike shop mechanic.
THIS MANUAL IS NOT INTENDED AS A DETAILED USER, SERVICE,
REPAIR, OR MAINTENANCE MANUAL. PLEASE SEEK ASSISTANCE FROM
YOUR LOCAL BIKE SHOP MECHANIC.
Local and state regulations vary. It is your responsibility to ensure your bike is legal in
your area and wherever else you may ride it, before riding on roads, trails or anywhere
else. If you are unsure, ask your local reputable bike shop for more information about
applicable laws and regulations.
If you have any kind of impairment or disability such as a visual impairment, hearing
impairment, physical impairment, cognitive/language impairment, and/or a seizure
disorder, please consult your physician before riding our bikes.
Review the safety requirements stated in this manual before each ride. If any problems
are observed, they should be resolved prior to your ride.

4. Safety
General Safety
●Check the condition of your bike before
any and every ride. Have regular
maintenance and periodic inspections
performed as needed. If you are unsure
of how to conduct a complete check of
the condition of your bike, you should
consult a certified, reputable bike
mechanic for assistance.
●Always wear a helmet every single time
you ride your bike, regardless of the
length of your ride. Make sure the
helmet fits properly and is securely tightened down when riding your bike. Most
serious bicycle injuries involve head injuries, which might have been
avoided if the rider had worn an appropriate helmet. FAILURE to
wear a helmet when riding may result in serious injury or death. It is
your responsibility to familiarize yourself with state and local laws, rules, and
regulations regarding safety equipment.
●Ride defensively. Always assume that others do not see you. Always observe your
surrounding and be prepared to avoid, for examples, the following:
○Vehicles slowing or turning, entering the road or lane ahead of you, or
coming behind you
○Parked car doors opening
○Pedestrians stepping onto the road or path
○Children or pets playing near the road
○Potholes, sewer grating, railroad tracks, expansion joints, road or sidewalk
construction, debris and other obstructions that could cause you to swerve
into traffic, catch your wheel or cause you to have an accident
○Miscellaneous other hazards and distractions which can occur on a bicycle
ride
●Follow the same road laws as any other road vehicle when riding your bike. It is
your responsibility to know and understand local road laws.
●Do not ride distracted or impaired in any way. Do not ride when you are under
the influence of alcohol or drugs, including prescribed or over the counter
medications.
●Always ride at a speed appropriate for the conditions. High speed means higher
risk. Slow down and use caution in inclement weather, traffic, or uneven
surfaces, and any other condition that increases risk to you and/or others.

1-833-266-4432
●Familiarize yourself with all of the features and operations of the bike. Become
comfortable with shifting gears, applying the brakes, using the power assist
system, and using the throttle in a controlled setting before riding in riskier
conditions.
●Wear proper riding clothes. Loose or baggy clothing could get caught and cause
you to lose control and cause serious harm or injury.
●Boogie Bikes are designed to carry a single rider only.
●When braking, always apply the rear brake first, then the front brake. If the
brakes are not applied correctly, you could fall and cause serious harm or injury
●Maintain a safe stopping distance from all other riders, pedestrians, or vehicles.
●Boogie bikes are designed to be ridden on paved roads or surfaces only. The bike
is not designed to withstand off-road conditions or uneven terrain.
Carrying Capacity
●Boogie Bikes are rated to have a max 300lb payload. It is intended for a single
operator with no passengers. Failure to adhere to this guideline could result in
bike failure and cause serious harm or injury.
Riding in Wet Conditions
●It is not recommended that your Boogie Bike be ridden in the rain or wet
conditions. Riding in humid and/or wet conditions can increase the stopping
time and/or cause the tires to slip when turning.
●The electrical components are designed to be water-resistant but could be
damaged as they are not designed to be waterproof.
Riding at Night
●Riding at night comes with increased risks due to the decreased visibility. Riders
should use increased caution. If riding at night, ensure your bike has the
reflectors attached. Also, ensure that the front and rear lights are working and
turned on.
Pre-ride Inspection- Before each ride, inspect your e-bike to ensure the following
guidelines are met:
●No loose fasteners or accessories.
●No damage to wiring or connections.
●Make sure the handlebar and handlebar stem are secure and tight.
●Make sure the seat and seat stem are secure and tight.
●Check the tire pressure of both the front and rear tires.
●Ensure that the brakes are operating correctly for both the front and rear disc
brakes and adjust if necessary.

5. Getting Started
Congratulations on purchasing your new Boogie Bike! This bicycle comes to you
virtually assembled with only a few adjustments to be made out of the box. The
following manual is designed to help you understand your Boogie Bike and ensure a safe
and fun experience.
What’s in the box:
●Cruiser e-Bike
●Boogie Bike Battery Charger (Accessory Box)
●2 Battery Keys (Secured to the bike behind the seat-post)
●L/R Pedal (Secured to crank arm on their respective side)
●5 and 6mm Allen wrenches (Accessory Box)
●Cruiser Battery (Located in Battery Box)
Before riding your bike for the first time, check to make sure all components are
present. Your Boogie Bike comes assembled with a few items that you must attend to
prior to your first ride.
Installing the Handlebars
•Ensure the Stem Bezel is installed onto the stem and the protective cap is
removed from the bottom of the handlebar before assembly. The protective
shipping plug should be removed from the stem hole on the bike as well. (make
sure the rubber dust seal does not get discarded with the shipping plug.)
•Unwrap the handlebar assembly and firmly guide the handlebars into the stem
hole. If there is resistance, you may need to loosen the 6mm hex screw, or you
may need to remove the dust seal and install onto the handlebars and press in
when the handlebar assembly is seated. It is important to not loosen too much, or
the wedge will become disconnected from the assembly.
•Once the handlebar assembly is seated all the way into the stem, tighten the stem
bolt as pictured with the supplied 6mm hex wrench. Make sure the handlebar
and

fork assembly are tightened securely.
Pedals
●Install the left pedal - marked with an “L” sticker (on rider’s left hand side when
seated on the bike) on the left side of the bike holding the pedal in one hand and
turning the black threaded member COUNTER-CLOCKWISE.
●Tighten left pedal with a 15mm wrench or adjustable wrench. Be sure to hold the
crank arm while tightening the pedal
●Install the right pedal on the right side of the bike holding the pedal in one hand
and turning the black threaded member CLOCKWISE
●Tighten right pedal with a 15mm wrench or adjustable wrench. Be sure to hold
the crank arm while tightening the pedal.
MAKE SURE TO TIGHTEN THE SWIVEL ADJUSTMENT SCREW BEFORE
RIDING

1-833-266-4432
Preparing to Ride
•Install the battery into the bike. The battery should only have very small
resistance when being put in and needs to be aligned with the battery rail to
install correctly.
●Ensure that all components are properly secured. Failing to do this could result in
serious harm or death.
Note: Contact Boogie Bikes for manufacturer’s torque values for individual
parts.
●Make sure the seat or stem cannot be moved out of alignment by hand.
●Adjust the seat to the proper riding height. To adjust the seat height, open the
seat clamp and slide the seat up or down accordingly. Close the seat clamp to
secure the seat in its proper height. Note: To tighten the seat clamp, turn the
knob opposite the clamp clockwise. DO NOT RAISE SEAT HEIGHT PAST
MARK INDICATING MINIMUM DEPTH OF INSTALLATION ON POST.

•The seat camber can also be adjusted by loosening the hex cap screw under the
seat. It is important to make sure the screw is completely tight, and the camber
clamp is completely seated before riding. The camber clamp can be turned 180
degrees if additional adjustment is needed to make the seat to handlebar distance
longer or for additional tilt.
•The handlebars can also be adjusted. By adjusting the horizontal screw in the
handlebar to stem mount. Loosen the screw, adjust to needed swivel and
retighten. The handlebars can also be rotated 180 degrees in their relation to the
fork to achieve a shorter seat to handlebar distance if needed. IF you have
adjusted or no adjustment is needed, make sure this screw is tight or the
handlebars will be loose
•The handlebars can be tilted by loosening the (2) 5 mm hex cap screws under the
display and re-tightening when the adjustment is satisfactory. Note, the display
mounting screws may need to be loosened to move the display out of the way to
complete this operation.

Preparing Your Brakes
Your Boogie Bike is equipped with a more effective brake style called disc brakes.
Disc brakes require a breaking-in process called “bedding-in” to prepare them for use
and to prevent squeaky brakes.
Brake rotors (the thin piece of metal that the brake pads clamp onto) have unique
patterns. Bedding-in rubs brake pad material onto the brake rotor. By doing so, the
brake pads will develop the same pattern as the brake rotor, making for the most
effective braking.
Bedding-In Brakes
•Complete all steps as listed in the manual up until this point, making sure your
bike is ready and safe to ride.
•Find an open area straight-away to ride your Boogie Bike with no obstacles.
Please take special care with your brake rotors. They can become extremely hot
during use and have sharp edges, do not touch them especially after using the
bike. If needed for service the brakes can be touched when cool and when
wearing appropriate safety equipment.
Brake Rotor

•Set the PAS to zero and pedal at 10 mph (the bike should be providing zero
assistance)
•While riding at 10 mph, slowly squeeze the front brake and maintain pressure.
DO NOT STOP THE BIKE COMPLETELY. Stopping the bike in the bedding-in
process will create a build-up of brake pad material in one area.
•Continue to gently squeeze the brake until the bike slows to a walking pace and
then release the brake so the bike is still moving.
Gently pull on the brake lever until you feel some resistance
www.boogiebikes.com 14
1-833-266-4432
•Repeat 10 times in a row with the front brake, then do the same for the rear
brake.
•Repeat all steps at a speed of 15 mph for both brakes
•Your brakes are now all set! If squeaking persists, redo the bedding-in process. If
this still does not resolve squeaking, please see a local bike shop to inspect your
brakes so we can help diagnose the issue.
Finally, when you buckle on your helmet and go for your first ride, be sure to pick an
area away from cars, other cyclists, obstacles, or other hazards in order to become
familiar with the controls, features and performance of your new Boogie Bike.

4. With the battery on or off the bike, place the charger on a flat secure surface.
Attach the DC output plug from the charger to the charging port on the battery.
5. Plug the charger into the battery then into the electrical outlet (110~240-volt
plug) Charging should start and will be indicated by a red light located on the
charger. (A green light will show on the charger if only connected to the battery or
outlet but not both.)
6. Once the battery is fully charged (indicated by the LED light on the charger
turning green), remove the charger input plug from the power outlet and then
remove the DC output plug from the charging port on the battery.
Only charge the battery indoors and in dry spaces that are not excessively hot or
cold.
Battery Safety
●Check the charger cables, charger, and battery for damage before beginning each
charge.
●Your battery must be charged in a well-ventilated area, in an ambient
temperature, on a non-flammable and dry surface, away from any sources of heat,
humidity or flammable materials. Also, it must not be covered. Do not submerge
the battery in any liquid of any kind. If the battery, charger or any connections
become wet, immediately unplug the charger and thoroughly dry all components.
●Refrain from touching the interior and exterior of the barrel jack - (+) or (-).
●Always turn off the battery when charging, when not in use, or when removing it
from the bike.
●Do not leave the battery charger on for long periods of time after the indicator has
turned green.
●Do not leave the charger on for more than 12 hours.
●Initially the battery should be charged 3 times for 12 hours after the first three
uses. This will help balance the cells for a healthier battery. Do not charge for
more than 12 hours
●Do NOT charge the battery while it is unattended.
Charger Safety
●The charger should only be used indoors in a place that is well ventilated, and on
a flat, stable hard surface.
●Never place the charger where it can be tripped over.
●Always have the area around the charger free of debris.
●Only use the charger supplied with your Boogie Bike to charge the battery.
Contact Boogie Bikes if a replacement charger is needed.
www.boogiebikes.com 17
1-833-266-4432
●Only disconnect the charger from the power outlet and the charging port by the
plastic ends. Never pull on the cords to unplug the charger.
●Do not open the battery charger, modify voltage input, or tamper with any other
part of the battery system. Doing so will void the warranty and cause possible
injury.
●The charger will get hot when operating as designed. If the charger gets too hot to
touch, you notice a strange smell, or any other indicator of overheating,
discontinue charger use immediately.
Please take special care in charging your Boogie Bike. Failure to do so could
result in damage to the bike, the charger, personal property, or cause injury to
yourself.
Battery Health
●If you know you will not be using the battery for several days, keep the battery at
around 75% capacity. The battery will degrade less over time at this charge than
at a higher charge (75% can be determined by cycling through the display menu
with the “M” key until voltage is displayed. 48-50V is ideal for longer storage
times.)
●Periodically, check the charge on your battery. Charge to around 75% if the
battery is lower than that point. The battery charge can be checked by cycling the
display as explained above to display battery Voltage.
●Charge the battery once every 3 months when storing for longer periods of time.
Never store a completely discharged battery as it might result in permanent ●
damage.
●When storing your battery, keep it in a dry, climate controlled, indoor location.
Battery Position
●Your battery is mounted over the back tire in the bike rack and is connected to the
controller housing.
www.boogiebikes.com 18
1-833-266-4432
●In order to remove the battery, unlock it using the supplied key, and slide the
battery backwards out of the rear rack and away from the bike.
www.boogiebikes.com 19
1-833-266-4432
●The key should be in the upright position to lock the battery in place. This will
ensure that the battery does not fall out and become damaged. Please be sure to
keep the key in a safe place. Keys can be replaced by calling Boogie Bikes,
however replacement keys take several days and cost $50 each.
●Your battery has an ON/OFF switch on its underside. You can leave the battery
on if you will be riding frequently. If there are several days between rides, it is
recommended to turn the battery off.
Note: Make sure the battery is turned off when charging, removing and installing.
