Dear customer/user
Congratulations on your purchase of a new electric bicycle (e-bike). It makes us proud that you
have chosen our brand CRUSSIS and we wish you happy and safe time spend with our product.
This manual contains important safety, performance and maintenance information. Read the
manual before taking your first ride on your new e-bike and keep the manual handy for future
reference.
WHY YOU SHOULD READ THIS MANUAL:
This manual was written to help you get the most performance, comfort, enjoyment and safety
when riding your new e-bike. The manual describes specific care and maintenance procedures that
help protect your warranty and ensure years of trouble-free use. Please pay particular attention to
the section on battery charging and maintenance. It is important for you to understand your new e-
bike, its features and its operation, so you get maximum enjoyment with maximum safety. By
reading this manual before you go out on your first ride, you will know how to get the most from
your new e-bike. It is also important that your first ride on a new e-bike is taken in a controlled
environment, away from cars, obstacles and other cyclists
GENERAL WARNING:
Cycling can be a hazardous activity even under the best of circumstances. Proper maintenance of
your e-bike is your responsibility as it helps reduce the risk of injury. This manual contains many
"Warnings" and "Cautions" concerning the consequences of failure to maintain or inspect your e-
bike. Many of the Warnings and Cautions say "you may lose control and fall". Because any fall
can result in serious injury or even death, we do not repeat the warning of possible injury or death
whenever the risk of falling is mentioned.
FIT:
Make sure the e-bike fits. A bike that is too big or too small for the rider is harder to control and
can be uncomfortable. If your e-bike does not fit properly, you may lose control and fall.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION:
Your e-bike can provide many years of service, fun and fitness - if you take responsibility for your
own safety. Understand the features of your e-bike and become aware of the challenges that you
will meet on the road. There is much that you can do to protect yourself while riding. We will
offer many recommendations and safety tips throughout this manual. The following are those that
we feel are most important. Always Wear A Helmet! Helmets significantly reduce the number and
severity of head injuries. Always wear a helmet that complies with your state laws when riding the
e-bike. Check with your local police department for requirements in your community. Do not wear
loose fitting clothing that can become tangled in the moving parts of the e-bike. Wear sturdy shoes
and eye protection. Also check your state laws concerning other protective gear that may be
required when riding the e-bike.

DESCRIPTION OF E-BIKE COMPONENTS

WARNING: Remove the battery pack before washing your e-bike! Keep the battery pack and
charger away from water to prevent electrical shock and damage to the charger or batteries.
CARE AND CLEANING:
Clean the e-bike with a mild soap and a sponge. DO NOT use a power hose or washer. Gently
rinse with water. Avoid spraying water directly onto the control switches, motor and front hub
bearings. Do not spray water inside the battery compartment. Dry the frame mounted electrical
connector in the battery compartment before reinstalling the battery pack. Use automotive wax to
protect painted surfaces. Lubricate the chain periodically to help prevent corrosion and minimize
wear.
MECHANICAL SAFETY CHECK :
The mechanical safety check is a simple, sixty-second check you should perform whenever you’re
about to get on the e-bike.
Nuts, bolts & straps Lift the front wheel off the ground by two or three inches, and then let it
bounce on the ground. Does anything sound, feel or look loose? Do a quick visual and tactile
inspection of the whole e-bike. Any loose parts or accessories? If so, secure them. If you're not
sure, ask someone with experience to check these items.
Tires & Wheels Tires correctly inflated? Check by putting one hand on the saddle, one on the
intersection of the handlebars and stem, then bouncing your weight on the e-bike while looking at
tire deflection. Compare what you see with how it looks when you know the tires are correctly
inflated. Adjust the tire pressure if necessary.

Tires in good shape? Spin each wheel slowly and look for cuts in the tread and sidewall. Replace
damaged tires before riding the e-bike.
Wheels true? Spin each wheel and check for brake clearance and side-to-side wobble. If a wheel
wobbles from side to side or hits the brake pads, take the e-bike to a qualified bike shop to have
the wheel trued.
CAUTION: Wheels must be true for the brakes to work effectively. Wheel truing is a skill which
requires special tools and experience. Do not attempt to true a wheel unless you have the
knowledge and tools needed to do the job correctly.
Brakes Squeeze the brake levers. Does the cable guide on the brake cable securely engage the
quick release bracket on the left caliper arm? Are the brake pads contacting the wheel rim within
an inch of brake lever movement? Can you apply full braking force at the levers without having
them touch the handlebar? If not, your brakes need adjustment. Do not ride the e-bike until the
brakes are properly adjusted.
WARNING: Riding with improperly adjusted brakes or worn brake pads is dangerous and can
result in serious injury or death.
Quick Releases Are the front wheel and seat post quick releases properly adjusted and in the
locked position? Adjust the quick release mechanism as necessary.
WARNING: Riding with an improperly adjusted wheel quick release can cause the wheel to
wobble or disengage from the e-bike, which can cause damage to the e-bike and serious injury or
death.
Handlebar and saddle alignment Are the saddle and handlebar stem correctly parallel to the top
tube of the e-bike. Are the binder bolts tight enough so that you cannot twist them out of
alignment?
Handlebar ends Are the handlebar grips secure and in good condition? If not, replace them. Are
the handlebar ends and extensions plugged? If not, plug them before you ride.
WARNING: Loose or damaged handlebar grips or extensions can cause you to lose control and
fall. Unplugged handlebars or extensions can act like a cookie cutter on your body and can cause
serious injury in an otherwise minor accident.
OPERATIONAL INSTRUCTIONS:
Please read and understand these instructions completely before operating your e-bike to prevent
serious injury to yourself and others, and to prevent damage to the e-bike.
Forks: There is a wide variety of suspension forks used across the CRUSSIS e-bike range but
they all have common does and don’ts.
Forks need regular periodic maintenance.
Look after your suspension fork, and it will last longer and perform better. Here are a few key
areas to consider, to protect your investment.
The most important part of maintaining your suspension fork, is keeping the fork well lubricated
and clean. This means removing all dirt from the fork stanchions and around the seals, especially
between the stanchions and fork arch at the front of the fork after each-and-every ride also
ensuring there is lubrication inside the fork, and that this lubricant is not contaminated by dirt
from the outside. Fork stanchions should be inspected every few rides, for impact damage or
scratches that might carry dirt inside the fork. Any evidence of this should be brought to the
attention of a suspension specialist for urgent treatment.

Servicing suspension fork:
We recommend cleaning and lubrication refills (lower leg service) every 50 riding hours, and a full
service (strip down, seal replacement and full oil change) every 100 hours which should be
performed by a professional mechanic.
Adjusting the suspension fork:
The major difference between suspension forks used across the CRUSSIS e-bike range is the
spring. There are two types of springs used in suspension forks Coil spring and Air spring.
Coil spring: In order to adjust the suspension fork (if possible) simply turn the coil spring preload
dial ( +for firm and - for soft).
Air spring: to set and to adjust the air spring suspension fork you need to use a specially designed
high-pressure air forks and shocks pump and follow the manufacturer's instructions and pressure
charts.

Lock-out: Most of the forks fitted to CRUSSIS e-bikes are equipped with Lock-out option
directly on the suspension fork or as a remote lock-out on the handlebars.
WARNING! Do not ride your e-bike with the fork locked-out while off-road, you may lose
control and fall, which can cause damage to the fork, serious injury or death!
Also note that the fork is not designed for riding in extremely challenging terrain, jumps,
downhill, freeride or dirt jumps. Failure to respect this information may result in fork damage,
serious injury or death. Failure to respect this information results in loss of warranty.

motor power output can be divided into 3, 5 or 9 assist modes.
The standard setting is 5modes of motor assistance. 0without motor assistance (display records
distance travelled)
Do not use assist mode 4and 5 on a long or extremely steep climbs! Combination of heavy load
and low speed cause overheating of the motor which may lead to malfunction or damage of the
motor.
The e-bike can be used as a regular bicycle while the electric system is off.
Once you are done using the e-bike, it is important to turn off the electric system.
Operating the motor by using the PAS system:
There is a sensor that is located in the bottom bracket area. As the pedals are rotated, the sensor
recognizes the motion and turns on the motor. This model has 5 different speeds of PAS, which
can be controlled from the bicycle's display.
Definitions:
PAS - Pedal Assist Sensor - Sensor which is located near the bottom bracket axis, recognizes the
pedals movement and operates the motor accordingly.

THE BATTERY:
This battery model is a chargeable Lithium ion battery.
It is highly recommended that the battery will be charged in full, prior to use.
WARNING! Storing battery in extreme hot/cold temperature must be avoided. As this will bring
about a decrease in battery quality. Extremely low temperature may cause corrosion and
shortening of the battery lifespan. Extremely high temperature may cause battery inflation and
making it dangerous, and in most extreme cases cause battery explosion! Do not expose the
battery to temperatures under 10°C and over 40°C.
DISMOUNTING / MOUNTING OF BATTERY FROM THE E-BIKE:

EMPHASIS FOR BATTERY CHARGING:
The battery must be charged with the provided charger only, any other form of charger is
forbidden and dangerous!
The battery must be charged only when it is in off mode (and not emitting voltage).
The battery may be charged while assembled to the e-bike as well as when it is unassembled.
While the battery is in charging, the charger red indicator light is turned on, as the light turns into
green the battery is fully charged.
Before the charging, in order to avoid circuit shortening, the charger should be first connected to
the electrical socket and then to the battery.
In order to finish the charging process, the charger should first be disconnected from the electrical
socket and then disconnected from the battery.
Do not cover the battery and the charger during charging process.
In case in which the battery overheats during the charging process, the charging should be stopped
immediately!
It is normal for the charger to become somewhat hotter during the charging process.
Do not place the battery and / or the charger near flammable substances during charging.
The battery works better when it is fully charged, it is recommended to begin riding when battery
is fully charged.
WARNING! The charger should be checked for physical damage. Before every charging, make
sure that the charger wiring is not torn or exposed and whether its electrical plug is damaged! In
case you notice a problem with the charger, the battery must not be charged until the charger is
fixed / replaced! In case of a defective charger contact your bicycle provider!
WARNING! Never charge the battery without supervision! Do not charge the battery overnight
while all people are sleeping in the house!

PRESERVING OF BATTERY'S LIFESPAN:
It is highly recommended to charge the battery in full immediately after purchasing your e-bike.
The charger must be disconnected from the electricity and the battery after the charging process is
completed.
The battery must not be left empty for more than 24 hours, if the battery is left uncharged for too
long it may reach a state in which it is no longer chargeable.
If you know that the bicycle will not be in use for a long period of time, the battery should be
charged in full, separated from
Average battery lifespan depends on its use and on its conditions. Even with proper care,
rechargeable batteries do not last forever. This battery model will last between 700-1000 charging
cycles. A partial charge/discharge counts fractionally against those numbers. Running the battery
down halfway and then recharging it completely, uses up to one half of a charge cycle.
IMPORTANT! The battery cells are discharged autonomously, once the battery is left unused for
a prolonged period. In cases battery cells are left low charged for a long period of time, their
charge cycles and capacity will diminish, and the quality of the battery will be damaged. The
battery should be left fully charged if it is not to be used for a prolonged period.
FACTORS INFLUENCING THE E-BIKE RANGE:
1. Rolling resistance of the tires. CRUSSIS e-bikes are fitted with low rolling resistance tires,
however it is crucial to keep the tires inflated properly according to manufacturer pressure charts.
2.Weight of the e-bike. The lower weight of the e-bike, the rider and the load carried, the greater
the range.
3.Battery status. It depends on whether the battery was fully charged before your trip. It is also to
be expected that the higher the number of discharge cycles the battery has undergone, the smaller
capacity it has. the surface, the shorter the range.
4. Profile and surface of the track. The higher the elevation difference and the steeper hills you
negotiate and the worse the surface, the shorter the range will be.
5.Riding mode. It depends on which of the three riding modes you have set.
6.Continuity of riding. The more braking and acceleration, the shorter the range.
7.Air resistance. For example, it depends on whether we ride a bicycle with a low frame and
sitting upright or whether we ride a sporty bicycle with the seat set to the same height as the
handlebars.
8.Wind strength. The stronger the wind we have in the back, the longer the range and vice versa.
9.Weight of the rider and load. The greater the weight, the shorter the range. 10.External
temperature. The lower the temperature, the less battery capacity can be used while riding.
