e-JOE Bicycle Gadis User manual

GADIS USER MANUAL
Please read before operating your new bicycle.

INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on the purchase of your new e-bike! We want to make you happy and believe your new e-bike will bring you lots
of fun.
We ask that you please read this manual thoroughly, paying special attention to the safety warnings before you start riding your
bicycle.
Please observe traffic regulations and don’t lend your bicycle to anyone who is unfamiliar with it. The bicycle can only be legally
used on the road by a person aged 14 years and older.
We strongly advise you to always wear a bicycle helmet when using your e-bike. If you are unfamiliar with cycling, we suggest
taking a cycle proficiency course prior to using your bicycle.
Before you ride your bike for the first time, please make absolutely certain that it has been correctly assembled. You can do this
either by taking it to your nearest bicycle shop, or if you are proficient in bicycle mechanics you can do the inspection yourself.
You must make certain you have the pedals, saddle, handlebars and any self-assembly items correctly fitted.
Test your brakes prior to using the bike every time you use it and remember the bike will not stop as quickly in wet or icy
conditions as it would on a dry road.
Frequently check your tire pressures. They should be 60 psi or 4.1 bar. Low tire pressures will result in damage to the tires and
will massively reduce your range.
NEVER drink alcohol and ride your electric bike. The use of alcohol greatly reduces reflexes and limits your ability to ride safely.
Even a small amount of alcohol will limit your ability to be safe on the road.
When you need to replace your battery, please either dispose of it properly or send it back to us or your retailer and we will make
sure it is properly recycled.
Happy cycling!
YOUR FRIENDS AT E-JOE BIKE

ASSEMBLY
Step 1: Handlebars
Stand the main body of the electric bike on the kickstand. Insert the stem of the handlebar subassembly into the steering column
that is at the front of the main body frame.
Make sure that the fork that will hold the front wheel is pointing forward, and orient the handlebar accordingly. Insert the stem all
the way and tighten from the top using a big hex wrench.
Step 2: Front Wheel Fender
Make sure that the fork from the steering column is pointed forward. Place the front fender within the fork: locate the small
projection with a screw hole at the top of the fender, fit it to the bolt at the back of the base of the seating column: attach the
supports (two on each side) to the base of the fork using four small bolts provided for you. After all five points (the dorsal point
and the 4 support points) are properly attached, use a multi-wrench to tighten.
Step 3: Attach the Front Wheel
Make sure that the fork from the steering column is pointed forward. Place the front wheel within the fork and between the brake
pads and disc rotor on either side, seat the axial stem properly within the receptacles at the tips of the fork, and tighten the nuts
(quick release if equipped) with a multi-wrench. Make sure that the front wheel moves freely and does not wobble from side to
side. Reposition with wheel and re-tighten if necessary.
Step 4: Assembling and Adjusting the Front Brake
*You may need another person to help you with this step.*
The front brake is installed and assembled so the cable is relaxed to allow the installation of the front wheel. After properly
installing the front wheel, the cable can be tightened again.
Using a small hex wrench, loosen the screw that tightens the cable so that the cable is completely free to slide back and forth.
Arrange the several pieces of metal and rubber along the brake cable in their correct positions by referencing the rear brake.
Squeeze the brake arms so that the brake pads contract against the wheel, leave sufficient clearance of ⅛ of an inch each side (you
can accomplish this by inserting a piece of scrap metal or cardboard between the wheel and brake pad to ensure the sufficient
clearance). Pull the cable at the end to take out all the slack, tighten the cable with the small hex wrench.
Test the brake by lifting the front of the electric bike and setting the wheel in motion by turning it and apply the brake at the
handlebar to stop it. If you could not set the wheel in free motion, or could not stop it when applying the brake you need to
readjust by increasing or decreasing the clearance between the brake pads and wheel.

Brake Precautions:
●Don’t brake too strongly or suddenly, as it will make it easier for you to lose balance and fall down.
●Remember which wheel is controlled by which brake.
●Incline your body backward to reduce the influence of inertia.
●Adjust the brakes properly, if damages exist, such as brake pads that are ground flat, please service appropriately before
further riding
●Check whether the braking power cut-off and brake function are in good condition.
Step 5: Installing the Seat and Pedals
Insert the stem of the seat into the seat column of the main body frame; use the built in lever to tighten the stem. Be sure not to
exceed the safety mark on the stem when finding the appropriate seat height (please refer to the picture below). If used
inappropriately, serious damage/injury may be caused to the rider.
To assemble pedals, attach a pedal on each side of the crank and tighten with a multi-wrench. Inflate the tires to proper pressure.
Step 6: Inserting and Removing the Battery
Make sure that the battery is properly seated against its housing connector base. Insert the lock key into the slot on the battery.
Turn the key to remove/lock the battery. To see the battery levels use the charge indicator on the handlebar when all lights are lit
up.
Battery Precautions:
●Do not touch the two poles of the battery with your hands when the battery is removed for charging. The two battery
poles should not be touched with any other metal or other material that conducts electricity.
●While charging, put the battery in a secure place where children cannot reach it.
●Do not use any other charger other than the one that came with your electric bike. If you need another charger, contact
your local dealer or e-JOE Bicycle.
●Do not attempt to open or repair your charger, the electronics contain high pressure circuits, so do not dismantle by
yourself without a professional.
●Avoid any contact with water while charging; prevent liquids, metal, and metal fillings from permeating the charger, and
be careful to not drop or hit the charger which could damage its components.
●So not put anything on top of the charger while charging; it must be well ventilated to allow the heat that is generated to
dissipate.
●Stop charging the battery immediately if you notice a peculiar smell or the charger gets too hot to touch.
●To prevent premature failure of your battery and for you warranty to remain in effect on your battery, it is
RECOMMENDED to charge and discharge your battery at least once per month. Do NOT use your battery in a very low
state.
●It is normal that the distance range will reduce as a result of low temperatures.

GENERAL OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Before You Ride for the First Time:
●Check that the handlebar and handlebar stem are properly tightened.
●Check all other nuts and bolts and fixings are properly tightened, paying particular attention to the motor fixings,
kickstand, yoke, and steering head bearings.
●Check that the brakes and brake levers are functioning properly.
●Check that tire pressures are 60 psi/ 4.1 bar and that tires are not damaged.
●Check that reflectors and lights are functioning properly.
●Make sure the battery is fully charged.
●Load battery into bicycle and turn on by pressing the ON/OFF button on the LCD display.
During Riding: Instructions and Tips
●Once the bike is powered ON, when the rider presses down on the thumb throttle, the bike will move forward. Do not
power ON until you are ready to go.
○Squeezing the hand brake, or releasing the throttle, will automatically cut the power to the motor.
●To get the furthest distance, it is recommended to pedal the bicycle with the Pedal Assist System mode ON.
●When riding down hills, do not turn off power, otherwise the controller and motor will be easily damaged.
●When riding your e-bike and when the battery power is low, it is recommended to pedal your e-bike as much as possible
and get the battery charged up as soon as you get to an electrical outlet.
●Turn off the power and remove the key while parking. If you decide to push your bike for any reason, make sure to turn
the power off so you don’t automatically turn the throttle on and make the electrical bicycle start suddenly and cause an
accident.
●To help get the best distance out of your electric bike, refrain from unnecessary braking and coast as much as possible.

MAINTENANCE
●IMPORTANT! DO not attempt to open the casings of the battery, motor, or controller; it could be dangerous and will void
any warranties by doing so. If you experience and problem, please contact our service department or your retailer.
●Wheel spokes should be adjusted every 300 miles of riding.
●Handlebar and saddle posts should never be raised beyond the maximum indicated by the safety lines around the tubes.
●Your bike has a rear derailleur that will automatically tension your chain. However, if the chain becomes loose or
frequently comes off the front cog, you can easily adjust the chain tension by loosening the rear axle nuts slightly, and
adjusting the tension bolts. Make sure that the chain runs freely and retighten the axle nuts.
●It is recommended to take your bicycle for a well tune-up and maintenance check by a bicycle mechanic on a regular
basis.
WATER
●Your electric bicycle is rain and splash proof and can be used in all weathers.
●The electric components of the vehicle, such as the motor, battery, and controller, MUST NOT be submerged in water.
○Please use caution; do not operate your bicycle under bad/heavy weather conditions.
