Battery
Familiarise yourself with the battery section in the
manual. Charge the battery fully before first use
using the supplied charger.
Set up bike – handlebars and pedals
Your Emu bike arrives 98% assembled. This means
all you need to do is attach the pedals and fix the
stem into position.
Pedals
1. The pedal axles are labelled ‘R’ and ‘L’ for the
‘right’ and ‘left’ (when sitting on the bike).
2. Choose the appropriate pedal and insert it into
the corresponding crank arm. Turn both pedal
axles towards the front of the bike (left pedal
turns anti-clockwise, and the right pedal turns
clockwise). If it doesn’t turn easily, do not force
it. Check you have the correct pedal and are
inserting it level at 90 degrees to the crank.
3. Thread both pedals into the crank arm as far
as you can by hand. Then fully tighten to
30Nm using the 15mm spanner.
4. Pedals are assigned to left and right, they are
not interchangeable.
Stem:
1. With the bike on the ground, line up the
handlebars so they are 90 degrees to the front
wheel.
2. Using the supplied 5mm allen key, tighten the
top cap until it is just tight (do not over tighten).
3. Then, slowly tighten each side stem bolt to 5-
6Nm, switching between the two as you
tighten.
Tyre Pressure
1. The correct tyre pressure is essential for a
safe, enjoyable ride and maximising range.
2. Pump the tyres to your preference within the
range indicated on the side wall of your tyre.
Pre-ride final checks
1. Before first use, check all nuts and bolts are
correctly tightened and not overtightened.
2. Test the brakes.
3. Check the battery is locked in place.
4. Ensure you have read the manual.
Range
It’s important to remember that the range you can
achieve with your Emu is significantly affected by
the following factors: total load weight (rider +
luggage), pedalling force, average speed, tyre
pressure, outside temperature, hill gradient, terrain,
correct use of gears and age and care of the
battery.
Packaging
Your Emu bike arrives in mainly recyclable
packaging. Please ensure you recycle the
packaging.

2. INTENDED USE
Your new Emu electric bike or EPAC (Electronically Power Assisted Cycle) is built in
accordance with BS EN 15194:2017 which means it has specific and regulated
characteristics. EPACs have an auxiliary electric motor which will only provide
assistance when the pedals are propelled by the rider. When the pedals are not
turning, the electric motor will stop providing assistance.
The level of electric assistance given by the motor varies and can be selected by the
controls on the display. Pedal assistance is provided up to a max of 15.5mph (25km/h).
The only time your Emu bike will provide electric assistance without the pedals turning
is when using ‘walk mode’. This is designed to give assistance (up to a speed of
3.7mph or 6km/h) when starting up the bike or pushing the bike up a hill.
The bike, its components, motor and electrical system is designed predominantly for
leisure use and commuting on roads and light trails. Use outside of these conditions
could lead to damage to the bike, risk of injury and will void the warranty.
The bike has a maximum permissible total weight (rider weight + luggage) of 120kg.
Information on your bike can be found on the frame sticker at the bottom on the seat
tube.

For more information on the controls of your display, how to access the settings and a
list of error codes, please read the full display manual available online at
www.emubikes.com.
Understanding Pedal Assistance
1. The front hub electric motor will smoothly kick in as you start to pedal with a
barely audible sound. When setting off for the first time, use the lowest level of
pedal assistance.
2. The power assistance provided by the motor enables you to cycle longer
distances and with minimum effort to enjoy a comfortable, sweat -- - free ride, yet
s ti ll arriving at your destination faster than a normal bike. If you add your own
pedalling power, you can gain a physical work -- - out and take even more ti me off
your journey.
3. The power -- - assist func ti on kicks in once you start pedalling and stops shortly
aft er you stop pedalling and immediately upon braking.
4. In accordance with EU regulations, the motor is restricted to giving a maximum
output of 250 watts. The maximum speed permitted is 15.5mph (25km/h).

5. The motor is maintenance -- - free and any work should only be performed by a
recommended specialist cycle workshop. Contact us for advice and
inform ati on. Any work done on the motor or electrical parts by a non -- -
recommended cycle shop will void the warranty.
Battery and Battery Care
Before first use, ensure the battery is fully charged using
only the supplied battery charger, charge the battery.
The light indicator on the charger will remain red until it
is fully charged when it will turn green. Do not leave the
battery charging once fully charged.
The state of charge
is shown on the
display when turned on.
The Evo battery is fully integrated and is not
designed to be removed by the user.
Your battery will operate most efficiently in
temperatures between 10-30˚C. Use outside this
range may cause a temporary loss of capacity,
especially in lower temperatures and winter months.
Please note that your battery will age over time whether in use or not, which may result
in reduced range. To maintain maximum possible range, see care instructions below.
Correct care and storage:
When not in use, store your bike and
battery at room temperature at an
approximate charge of between 30-60%.
Fully charge before each use. Regular
charging is best for maintaining a long
service life.
Always follow
instructions contained
on the label of the battery and
battery charger.
Do not leave the battery
plugged in once it is
fully charged.
Do not use the bike
whilst charging. This
can damage the bike and the
battery.
Only charge the battery
with the supplied
charger. Do not use any other
manufacturer.
Lithium-ion batteries
can heat up. Do not
cover the battery or the
charger. Never leave your
battery in direct sunlight.
Charge in cool, dry room.
Storage of your battery fully
charged or fully discharged for
extended periods can shorten the life
of your battery.
Long periods without charging
may shorten the life of your
battery (even with no use a battery life
reduces with time).

4. GETTING TO KNOW YOUR EMU
Stem, Handlebar & Display angle
1. Stem angle – To adjust the tilt on the Emu quill stem you need to loosen the
single bolt located underneath the stem. Once the bottom bolt is loosened you
can adjust the angle of the stem to a more flat or upright riding position.
Retighten the bolt securely to the recommended torque.
2. Handlebar angle – To adjust the angle of the handlebars, loosen the
handlebar bolts using the 5mm Allen key and move the handlebars to a
comfortable riding position. Tighten the bolts to 10Nm
3. Display – Loosen the handlebar display clamp screw with the 3mm hex key
and adjust the handlebar display position as necessary. Tighten the screw
securely to 2-3Nm.
4. Brake lever angle – Loosen the brake lever clamp screw with the 5mm hex
key to adjust the brake lever position. The rider’s fingers, hand and lower arm
should be in a straight line when sitting on the saddle. Tighten screw to 6-
8Nm. The bell is integrated into the brake lever.
Saddle & Seat Post
1. Saddle height – To adjust the saddle height, loosen quick release clamp and
slide the post up or down. Ensure the post is extended no further than the
maximum mark shown on it. Tighten the quick release to finger tight. Do not
move the saddle beyond the minimum insert line as this will damage the bike
or cause potential injury.
Do not loosen the bolts on
the side of the stem;
these are pivot points and allow
the stem to tilt up and down.
Overtightening the display
mount bolt may break the
mount. Do not overtighten.

2. Saddle angle – The bike saddle is supported underneath by a ‘holder’. The
holder allows you to slide the saddle forward
or backwards. Use the 8mm Allen key to
loosen the clamp that secures the saddle to
the seat post. After positioning the saddle
correctly, re-tighten the bolt to 20Nm. The
seat clamp also allows you to raise or lower
the nose of the saddle. Set this initially so the
saddle is horizontal. Once you have ridden a
few miles you may wish to adjust the nose for improved comfort.
Pedals
1. Look closely at the pedal axles, you should see a small ‘R’ and ‘L’ for the
‘right’ and ‘left’ (when sitting on the bike).
2. Choose the appropriate pedal for each side and insert it into the correct crank
arm, turn the pedal axle towards the front of the bike (both pedals thread in
this direction, so the left pedal turns anti-clockwise, and the right pedal turns
clockwise). If it doesn’t turn easily, do not force it. Check you have the correct
pedal and are inserting it level at 90°to the crank
3. Thread both pedals into the crank arm as far as you can by hand. Then fully
tighten to 30Nm using the 15mm spanner.
4. Pedals are assigned to left and right, they are not interchangeable.
Do not move the saddle
beyond the minimum
insert line as this will damage
the bike or cause potential
injury.
Always ensure the saddle
is clamped within its limits
indicated on the rails.

Bottom Bracket & Cranks
1. Chainrings – these are subject to wear; their service life depends on various
factors such as maintenance, type of use and distance travelled. Always
check for wear and tear.
2. Cranks – must be securely fastened as this could otherwise damage the
crank set. Cranks can come loose which is why you should regularly check
whether they are securely fastened by attempting to rock them to and from
the frame. If there is play in the cranks, have the bike checked and the cranks
fastened securely by a professional bike workshop.
Brakes
Pulling left brake lever engages the rear brake and the right lever engages the left.
Check the brakes:
• Test the brakes by pulling the levers while standing over the bike. Push the
bike forwards, the front wheel should not move, and the bike should tip
forwards. Pull the bike backwards, the rear wheel should not move and the
bike tip backwards.
• The gap between the brake block and the rim should be roughly 1 mm.
• If required, you can readjust the rebound force via the spring adjustment
screws so that both brake arms move symmetrically.
• Once you have done this, check that the brake is working properly
Adjusting the brake with brake cable adjusting bolt:
• Your bike is fitted with hydraulic brakes and should only be adjusted by a
trained mechanic.
Wear of brake pads:
• Most brake pads for disc brakes come with wear indicators. If these are worn
and can no longer be seen, this is normally a sign that the brake pads need
replacing.
