Please, read before operating your new bicycle

INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on the purchase of your new electric bicycle! We want to make you happy and believe your new bicycle 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 do not 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 cycling 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 other items correctly fitted.
Test your brakes every time prior to using the bike 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 bars. Low tire pressures will result in damage of 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 it properly or send it back to us or your retailer and we will
make sure it is properly recycled.
Happy cycling!

ASSEMBLY
KODA electric bicycle is shipped 98% assembled. In order to fully assemble the bike and prepare it for the first use, follow
these simple steps:
Step 1: Packing Material
Remove all packing and protective material and put aside. Do not discard the box or any shipping material until you test the
bike and make certain it is in good working order.
Step 2: Handlebar
Stand the main body of the electric bike on the kickstand. Make sure that the fork that holds the front wheel is pointing
forward. Unscrew the face plate of the handlebar’s stem. Insert the handlebar into the stem housing and attach the face
place back into place. Center the handlebar and tighten the face plate bolts so that the handlebar does not move. Adjust the
LCD display if necessary.
Step 3: Wire Harness
The earlier bike editions do not require connecting the wires after
unpacking. However, if you have purchased the latest edition of the
bike (2018), it is necessary to connect the main wire harness with
the bike components. To connect the electric wires, first, stand in
the front of the bike and locate the main wire harness with the
green e-JOE logo. Connect the wires by matching the colors AND
aligning the arrows: LCD display (●green prongs), thumb throttle
(●orange prongs), brake levers (●red prongs). Please, see a
picture on the right for reference.
Double-check the wires and make sure they are securely
connected, the arrows are aligned, and the colors are not visible.
Step 4: Brakes
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.
●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. 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 charge level, click the button at the top of the battery
and the charge indicator will display the charge level; or turn on LCD on the handlebar to check the charge.
NOTE: The keys provided are ONLY used to lock and unlock the battery. Turning the key DOES NOT act as an ignition for
the battery or motor. Please, keep in mind that e-JOE does not carry copies of the keys. It is recommended to store one key
in a safe location in case the first key is misplaced or lost.
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.
●Do 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.
It’s important for your safety and performanceto understand how things work on your bicycle and make absolutely certain all
parts are correctly assembled. We urge you to consult your dealer before the first use, and have your dealer check your work
before the first ride. If you have even the slightest doubt about your knowledge or bike’s assembly, talk to your dealer.

GENERALOPERATINGINSTRUCTIONS
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.
●Remove the plastic tabs from the head and tail lights to activate the batteries. Check that the lights.
●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
●Do not power ON until you are ready to go. Once the bike is powered ON, when the rider presses down on the
thumb throttle, the bike will move forward.
○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 downhill, 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.
●KODA is equipped with the hydraulic brake system which should be regularly inspected. With use over time, brake
fluid will become contaminated with dirt and moisture and should be replaced. It is recommended to use mineral oil
for brake fluid replacement. For additional information, follow manufacturer’s instructions.
●DO NOT ride the bike if the oil is leaking as the system may suddenly lose braking power.
●Disc brake calipers, rotors, and brake pads get extremely hot after use. Do not touch these parts after a ride and be
sure to allow some time for the brake system to cool down before attempting the service.
●The bike should not be stored or turned upside down, as air may enter the brake lines. If the bike has been upside
down, allow it to sit several minutes before use, and test the levers by pulling with force.
●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.
