the wheels of your bike.
3. After one complete turn of the pedal the electric motor kicks in making
pedaling much easier.
4. There are 9 setting on your controller on the handlebar, allowing you to set
the level of assistance you require.
For example: Riding up a hill you’ll probably use‘High’, mode.
5. Change the level of assistance you need at any time and as often as you wish.
6. The motor works to assist pedalling, stop pedalling and the motor stops too.
7. Applying the brakes cuts the motor
8. You can also choose to switch the assist OFF and ON on the controller at any
point in your journey. This helps to save battery power when its not needed.

We Recommendthat you get used to your new e.life bike and the level of assit you place on it,
you’ll soon be able to work out how long a journey you can make and safely return under assist.
You can of course ride as you would a normal bike if the charge runs out.
Firstly may we congratulate
you on purchasing your new
electric power assisted e.bike.
Please take time to read your
manual. We have tried to write
it in a way that is simple and
easy to follow, whilst
explaining how your bike
works and how it is
maintained.

General
1. Wipe your bike over with a dry cloth, or neutral detergent.
2. Use lubrication oil for metal parts. i.e. chain, axles.
3. Wipe down Plastics, paint coated parts with a quality cloth.
4. Increase the frequency of lubricating oil at wet or hummid areas
( Recommend 30SAE lubricating oil)
Weekly Inspection
It is recommended that after this period you should inspect your bike as
things will slacken o and need re-tightening.
3 Month Inspection
We recommend after 3 months you complete a full service on your
bike to keep it in excellent working order. The simplest way is to take into
your local bike shop.
When stored and not in use remove the battery and store in a cool, dry
place, charging periodically as the battery will discharge over time of non
use. Failure to do this will result in the battery falling into a dormant state
rendering the battery unrepairable.
PLEASE NOTE:
If you do not feel that you can complete the maintenance of your bike, please
take it to your local bicycle workshop where they will be able to asist you.
