1Introduction
Thank you for choosing a Cycleman electric bicycle.
Before you use your Cycleman electric bike it is important that you read this manual carefully. If
there is anything you do not understand completely, please contact us.
Please observe traffic regulations, and do not lend your bicycle to anyone who is unfamiliar with it.
We strongly advise you to always wear an approved cycle helmet when riding your bicycle. If you are
unfamiliar with cycling we advise attending a cycle proficiency course prior to using your new bicycle
on the public highway.
When using any bicycle, it is important that you stay within safe limits; if you feel as if you are
travelling too quickly, you probably are.
Always test your brakes prior to using the bike and remember the bike will not stop as quickly in the
wet as it would in the dry!
Before you use the bike for the first time, please make absolutely certain that it has been correctly
assembled. You can do this by either taking it to your nearest cycle engineer or if you are proficient
in cycle mechanics, inspecting it yourself. In particular you must make sure that the pedals, saddle,
handle bars and any self assembled items have been fitted correctly.
Avoid consuming alcohol before you ride your electric bike. The use of alcohol greatly reduces
reflexes and limits your ability to ride safely.
If you need to replace your battery, please either dispose of it properly or preferably send it back to
us or one of our distributors and we will make sure it is properly recycled.
Above all, enjoy your Cycleman bike, happy cycling!

2.3 Battery care
2.3.1 Your Cycleman bike comes with a high quality lithium ion battery. All lithium batteries need
to be looked after to ensure years of full use. The latest Cycleman batteries come with new
technology installed to assist you in looking after your battery and will be dealt with
separately. Following these easy steps will ensure the long life of your battery
2.3.2 Recharge your battery after every use if possible. Keeping your battery charged extends its
life and your bike is always ready to go.
2.3.3 You do not have to “condition” your battery by charging and discharging before it’s first use.
This was the case with old lithium ion technology but is not necessary on modern batteries
2.3.4 Never leave your battery completely discharged for more than 24 hours. Voltage dropping
below minimum for any length of time will cause serious damage to your battery cells. *
2.3.5 Recharge your battery every month even if you are not using the bike. Most lithium ion
batteries will continue to discharge even when the bike and battery are turned off. If your
battery falls below minimum Voltage, it may not be recoverable. *
2.3.6 Do not expose the bicycle or battery pack to fire, heat sources, acid or alkaline substances.
2.3.7 When leaving your bicycle during hot weather, always leave in a shaded well ventilated area.
2.3.8 For best results, always recharge and store the battery at room temperature.
2.3.9 Before unloading the battery, make sure it is turned off and unload the battery using its
handle.
2.3.10 Further information on user responsibilities and battery maintenance are included in the
warranty section of this manual.
* The most common cause of battery failure the owner not keeping to points 4 and 5 above.
This is the most common reason for customers to need to replace batteries. This is
particularly noticeable in the spring when customers are using their bike for the first time in
the new year. We get most calls regarding failing batteries during this period.

IMPORTANT
If your battery is damaged due to your leaving it discharged, or not recharging when
advised as per this manual your battery is not covered by our warranty.
Battery safety
2.3.11 i. Never leave a battery connected to the charger or mains power over-night.
ii. Never recharge a battery outside, in damp conditions or in temperatures less then 0
degrees centigrade.
iii. Never open a battery case, try and fix the battery or give it to any one other
than a registered Cycleman Stockist for maintenance. (Failure to comply will void the
warranty)
iv. If a battery is or appears to be damaged or overheating for any reason, do not use the
bike and immediately return the battery to your retailer for advice and a safety check.
IMPORTANT
Ignoring any of the safety rules above could cause serious injury or fire.
2.3.12 Cycleman Lithium ion Batteries
Bikes fitted with the latest Cycleman long range batteries have extra features to help keep it
in good health.
i. “Deep sleep” or “hibernation” mode.
Once recharged the new Cycleman battery does not need recharging for up to 6 months.
over the winter. We recommend the battery is recharged every 6 months. To put the battery
into deep sleep mode simply press the LED button on the battery for 10 seconds. If the
battery is below 29V, deep sleep will be activated automatically after 24 hours of non-use.
The battery will automatically wake up when you turn your bike back on.
ii. Remote Control Service System (RCSS)
Using the very latest technology we can connect the new Cycleman battery and
charger system directly to the battery manufacturer’s technical department’s computer.
Software updates will be uploaded to the battery and charger and system diagnostics will
take place. The battery manufacturer will make recommendations to resolve any issues.
In some cases, fixes can be made remotely. All Cycleman Stockists will be able to check the
condition of both battery and charger. Information such as the charging history, battery
capacity, etc. will be available on screen.
2.4 Recharging your battery
2.4.1 Before charging, make sure the charger is turned off and connect your battery to the charger
at the charging socket. Plug the charger into a mains socket and turn on the mains socket.

handlebars, electronic equipment, etc., causing hidden dangers of the accident.
2.5.4 Please use neutral detergent, wipe the headlight lampshade, instrument case and other
plastic parts with a soft clean cloth or sponge dipped in water, and then wipe with a dry cloth
to avoid scratches;
2.5.5 It is strictly forbidden to refuel the front and rear brakes and tires;
2.5.6 Please avoid frequent bike washing, the best bike washing cycle is 10-20 days, too frequent
will accelerate the aging of bike paint;
2.5.7 To protect the environment, please try to wash the bike in the place where the sewer pipe is
laid to prevent the road area water from affecting the traffic safety.
2.6 Maintenance and adjustments
2.6.1 IMPORTANT! Do not attempt to open the casings of the battery, motor or controller. It
could be dangerous and all warranties will become void. If you experience a problem,
contact our service department or the retailer.
2.6.2 Wheel spokes should be checked after 300 miles of riding. Handlebar and saddle tubes
should never be raised beyond the maximum permissible, indicated by a safety line around
the tubes. The recommended torque (tightness) of crucial fixings is as follows:

3Controls and equipment
In this section, the functions and any specific maintenance needed on all the main controls and
ancillary equipment are described.
3.1 Battery on/off switch and lock
3.1.1 Your Cycleman bike is supplied with two identical keys. The keylocks the battery to the bike.

13
3.1.2 The battery is connected to the electrical system of the bike automatically when you slide
the battery into the frame. To turn on the bike’s electrical system, Press down the button
directly above the frame to turn on the power, press the button again to turn off the power
Fig 2
3.1.3 When the battery has been turned on, the bike is now ready for use. The on/off button on
(the top button c- on the handle bar control) isolates the power from the bike.
When the on/off button is pressed for 3 seconds the LCD symbols will become visible. When
the on/off button is pushed again for 3 seconds, the LCD symbols will disappear - you have
turned the bike “off”. When the bike is “off” you will not get any assistance from the battery
and motor and the bike is effectively an unpowered pushbike.
3.1.4 To lock the battery into the bike frame, slide the battery into the battery holder in the rack
until you hear a click. To unlock the battery, turn the key fully anticlockwise and hold in this
position whilst siding the battery out.
3.1.5 The battery can be charged either on or off the bike.
3.2 The ON/OFF button and Light button
3.2.1 To turn the power on so the pedelec system is operational, simply press the on/off button
(marked with a c-) on the handle bar control for 3 seconds - the LCD symbols will become
visible showing the power is on. When the on/off button is pushed again for 3 seconds and
the LCD symbols become invisible you have turned the bike “off”. When the bike is “off” you
will not get any assistance from the battery and motor and the bike is effectively an
unpowered pushbike. If the bike is left for ten minutes without being ridden, the bike will
automatically turn off. The battery capacity indicator lights provide an indication of the
battery capacity remaining with four bars indicating the battery is at full capacity. The
display also incorporates a diagnostic function.
3.2.2 The LIGHT button is the on/off, C- button found on the LCD. If you press when the bike’s
power is on, the LED headlight and rear light will illuminate. The LCD display will also

14
become back lit. Press it again to switch off the lights. The power for the lights comes from
the bike battery, but due to the low power consumption of the LED lights, you will not
noticeably reduce your range.
3.3 Pedal assist power
3.3.1 When you first ride your Cycleman bike, you will notice that the motor will start working when
you have turned the pedals through between 90 and 180 degrees.
3.3.2 You will find the assist buttons(marked with up and down arrows)on the handlebar control.
Each time the UP button is pressed, the LCD will move between 1 and 5levels and the
corresponding power level increases in increments of 25%. Setting 5provides 100% power.
The default level is set to 1 when the bike is first turned on. We recommend that you only
turn on the bike after you have mounted the bike so the motor is deactivated. Once on the
bike, press the on button for three seconds and the assistance will be turned on. You can start
off in any level, if you are on a hill for instance you may want to start in level 2,3,4 or even 5.
3.3.3 Setting 5 is generally used when you need the maximum amount of assistance from the
motor, but this will drain the battery the fastest. Lower settings are used when you do not
need the assistance at 100% power. In high traffic situations or poor conditions such as ice
and snow, instant full power could be dangerous. Power settings can be changed when the
bike is stationary or when on the move.
IMPORTANT! Make sure your handlebar grips are always intact and in good condition. Uncovered
handlebar tubes can be very dangerous.
3.4 Battery capacity meter, riding style and affect on range
3.4.1 The range of the bike (distance covered between recharging of the battery) is greatly
influenced by the level of assist selected, the amount of pedal assistance provided by the
rider and the use of the throttle.
3.4.2 If a high level of assist is selected, then the range of the bike will be reduced compared to
using a lower level of assist.
3.4.3 The cadence sensor system detects the speed the pedal cranks are turning and the This
information is fed into an on board computer (controller) to give the rider the most natural
riding experience possible.
3.4.4 The optimum range is achieved when the rider pedal effort is maximized and an ideal
situation is for the rider to aim to match the power being provided by the bike on an equal
basis.
3.4.5 The battery capacity indicator is provided to give an approximation of battery capacity
remaining. Each bar on the LCD approximates to a ¼ of the capacity. However, this indicator
relies on sensing battery voltage that will rise and fall depending on the amount of power

15
being demanded at any given time, ambient temperatures etc., hence the meter should only
be used for indication purposes.
3.4.6 The battery capacity indicator, built into the top of the battery provides a similar
indication and operates on the same principle.
3.4.7 Under heavy power situations (full throttle or high levels of assist) the battery voltage will
temporarily dip resulting in the capacity meter showing a lower level of charge. When the
heavy power usage is reduced, the capacity meter will rise again as the battery naturally
recovers its voltage.
3.4.8 During the discharge period of the battery, the voltage will drop from an initial voltage of
nearly 42 Volts to a minimum of 31.5 Volts. The bulk of the discharge period will be in the
range of 38 to 36 Volts which provides the optimum performance for the bicycle. Hence due
to this wide range in voltage, the performance of the bike will vary depending on the state of
charge of the battery. To achieve the best possible performance, it is better to start a
journey with a fully charged battery and to recharge it at the end of each journey.
3.4.9 Be aware that recommended temperature range of use of the bike with battery is -10 ~ 40
°C.
3.5 Brakes
3.5.1 Disc brakes are fitted to the front and rear wheels of the bicycle. The braking direction is left
for front and right for rear. Disc brakes offer several advantages over traditional rim brakes,
including better braking in wet, muddy or other adverse conditions and less braking power
fade over extended downhill braking.
3.5.2 Details of how to adjust and maintain your brakes are as follows:
3.5.3 Regularly inspect the brake pads for wear. If the front brake pads have reached the wear
limit of 1mm, replace them immediately. The rear brake blocks should be checked by a
bicycle mechanic and replaced when necessary.
3.5.4 Front brake, remove the caliper from the fork leg, complete with the mount adapter by
removing the two 6mm Allen caliper fixing screws. The pads can then be removed by
unscrewing and removing the pad retaining screw (which passes through the tabs of the
brake pads) using a 3mm Allen wrench. Then lift the pads complete with the spring out of
the rotor slot in the caliper body.
3.5.5 After braking during riding, do not touch the disc brake disc with your hands immediately to
avoid burns.
Warning! Do not loosen any other screws on the caliper.
3.5.6 To refit the pads, hold the pads complete with spring as an assembly and insert into the
caliper slot with the metal backing towards the pistons. Refit the pad retaining screw

16
ensuring it passes through the holes in the pad tabs and through the hole in the spring and
tighten to 3– 5 N.m. Refit the caliper loosely using the two Allen screws, apply the brake
lever and tighten securely to 6 to 8N.m whilst continuing to apply the brake lever. (N.B. use
of a thread locking compound is recommended on the caliper fixing screws).
Warning: If you are unsure about any part of the brake installation process you should seek
advice from a Cycleman service center or qualified mechanic.
Caution: The pads and rotor must be kept clean and free from oil or grease based
contamination. If the pads become contaminated, you must discard them and replace them
with a new set. A contaminated disc should be cleaned with a proprietary brake cleaning
solution.
3.6 Stem and handle bar clamps
3.6.1 Your bike has been fitted with an adjustable handlebar and stem clamp that allows you to
change the angle and height of the bars to find the most comfortable riding position.
3.6.2 The handlebars can be adjusted before you use the bike by slackening the clamp in the
middle of the handle bars. Once a comfortable position is achieved, securely tighten the
clamp and lock into position.
3.6.3 To alter the height of the handlebars, slacken clamp at the front of the stem. Slide the
handlebars to the requires position and securely clamp into position making sure there is no
movement in the clamp or handle bar stem.
3.6.4 The handlebars can be adjusted before you use the bike by sliding the lock button marked
with a white arrow towards the back of the bike. When unlocked, lift the lever and adjust to
the riding position that suites you best.
3.7 Folding Mechanism (folding models only!)

17
Your Cycleman folding bike has been fitted with ultra strong clamps to enable you to fold the frame
and handle bar stem. It is vitally important that these clamps are tight, secure and locked before
using the bike.
3.7.1 The Stem clamp has a chromed locking mechanism. To unclamp the stem, slide the chromed
locking knob up towards the handle bars and pull the lever away from the stem, the stem will now
fold away from the clamp. When unfolding the stem make sure the clamp is solid against the stem,
the chromed locking knob is pushed back up into position and the clamp is locked.
3.7.3 The main frame clamp. To unclamp, first turn the black plastic lock into the upright unlocked
position. Then pull the clamp arm forward, unhitch the catch and push the clamp arm
forward again. Finally fold the bike away from the clamp arm. To unfold repeat the same
procedure in reverse, making sure you do not trap the cables inside the frame in the clamp.
3.7.4 Folding the pedals is very straight forward.
Simply push the pedal in towards the bike with your hand or foot and fold down. To unfold
lift the pedal back to its normal position. Make sure it has located properly.
3.8 The connectors
3.8.1 All electronic components have individual connectors, this allows for the easy removal for
diagnosis, repair or replacement of any of the electronic parts. The connectors, being a push
fit are simple to disconnect or reconnect and click into position when fully engaged. Each
connector has a different number of pins and an alignment arrow, so it is important to
ensure the connectors are only mated in their original positions, damage may occur to the
pins if this procedure is not followed.

3.9 Quick release saddle height adjustment
3.9.1 Your Cycleman bike has been fitted with a quick release saddle post fitting to facilitate the
movement of the saddle height.
3.9.2 It is important that the knurled nut on the fitting is tightened so the post will not move in
the bike tube. Make this adjustment with the quick release lever in the open position.
3.89.3 Adjust the seat to the correct height and close the lever firmly. When you sit on the saddle
there should be no vertical movement at all in the saddle post beyond the seat post
suspension movement. Never apply grease to the saddle post.’
3.10 Rims and spokes
3.10.1 It is essential to have your spokes checked and tightened after 300 miles. This is a free
service provided by your supplier. If this service has not been undertaken at the correct
time, this may cause damage to the wheels and spokes that will not be covered under our
Warranty.
3.10.2 Check the rims before riding. You need to confirm whether the rim or steel wire is damaged
and whether the hub rotates smoothly. Once you find damage or poor rotation, you need to
find the cause in time and use it after maintenance.
3.10.3 Rim Care and Rim danger: It is strictly forbidden to lubricate the front and rear brakes and
the tires during maintenance of the rim; regularly check the tire wear and tear, and if it is
found that the tread wear is serious, the tire needs to be replaced in time.
3.11 Chain and drive wheel removal
3.11.1 To completely remove the rear wheel, it is necessary to disconnect the main motor cable
connecting the motor to the bicycle electrical system. This operation is best achieved by
turning the bicycle upside down.

3.11.2 Locate the motor cable where it emerges from the centre of the wheel axle on the left hand
side of the bicycle, slide back the top hat protector to locate wheel nut.
3.11.3 Trace the route of the motor cable along the rear stays and locate the quick release motor
cable connector shown in the image above. Disconnect the two halves of the connector,
taking care not to strain the cables, and unclip the motor cable from the frame. Note the
alignment marks on the two halves of the connector.
3.11.4 Loosen the two large motor axle nuts and remove the nut from the right hand side, taking
care to note the position of any tab washers fitted. Unscrew the left hand nut as far as is
possible towards the cable exit from the motor axle, being careful not to damage the cable.
3.11.5 Lift the wheel from the frame dropouts, being careful not to snag or strain the motor cable.
3.11.6 Installation is the reverse of the above. Take care to locate the tab washers correctly in the
drop out slots and tighten the axle nuts to the torque specified in the manual. Reconnect the
two halves of the quick release connectors, taking care to ensure the pins and alignment
arrows align correctly. Re-clip the cable to the frame, ensuring that the cable cannot rub
against the tyre and that the cable exits in a downwards direction from the axle to avoid
water ingress into the motor. Refit the rubber top hat cover.
Because the bicycle has a rear derailleur, the chain will be automatically adjusted.
3.12 Derailleur and gear change
3.12.1 Full details on how to adjust and maintain your derailleur can be found in the Shimano
manual.
If difficulty is experienced with changing gear after initial operation of the bicycle, it is likely
that some cable stretch will have occurred in the gear change cable. To compensate for this
turn the knurled adjuster shown in the centre left hand side of the image below by pulling it
away from the outer cable stop in the direction of the cable towards the rear of the
bicycle and turning it ½ turn anticlockwise when viewed from the rear. This will compensate
for the cable stretch. If necessary, repeat the operation again until smooth gear selection is
obtained or return your bicycle to your Cycleman dealer for further adjustment.
3.12.2 To change gear, use the7/ 8 speed rapid fire gear shifter located on the right side of the
handlebar. The two levers located underneath the shifter can be pulled and pushed to
select the gears over the range 1 to 7/ 8.
