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!

2Caring for your Cycleman bike and pre-use checks
Your Cycleman bike has been thoroughly tested at the factory prior to delivery and undergone a pre-
delivery inspection by your Cycleman Stockist.
It is very important that you check the bike thoroughly before its first use. Equally important are
frequent and regular spot-checks, as they will protect you and your Cycleman bike.
Please read this manual carefully. Only on full understanding all of the functions of this electric
bicycle should you attempt to use it.
Folding bike, city bike and trekking bike are recommended for roads such as roads and highways;
trekking bikes are suitable for long-distance riding, have poor climbing and downhill performance,
and lack sportiness; mountain bikes can be used for riding on the above roads, more It is suitable for
riding on compound road conditions such as mountain, forest road and gravel. All the above models
shall not be used for off-road, sports and performance. If consumers violate the regulations for off-
road, sports and performance and cause accidental injury, they shall bear their own responsibility.
Before you set off for the first ride: suggested information to measure and adjust saddle

2.2 Before each use
It is important you check your bike prior to each time you use it. Checks should include the following:
(If you do find any damage or problems, do not use the bike until the problem has been solved or
you have had the faulty item checked by an electric bike mechanic or your retailer).

2.2.7 Check the battery for any visible signs of damage.
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.

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.

A red lamp will light up on the charger indicate the battery is charging. When the red light
turns green, the battery is fully charged. To optimize battery life, leave the charger
connected for a further hour and then turn off the charger and disconnect it from the
mains after charging. Always disconnect the charger from the mains before disconnecting
the charger from the battery. It is possible that the battery will take up to twelve hours to
charge on the first three charges.
2.4.2 When charging the battery, always do so in a well ventilated area.
2.4.3 Do not leave the charger connected to the mains when not in use.

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

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:

and touching the handle bars.
2.6.5 Warning: Handlebar hand grips or tube end plugs should be replaced if damaged, as bare
tube ends can cause injury.
