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.

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 lights on the battery indicate the state of
charge. Press the button on the battery:
• Blue = fully charged
• Green = 50%+ charge
• Red = No charge
To fit the battery to the bike,
slide the top end of the battery
in first (button is at the bottom),
then slide the bottom in until
you hear an audible click, and the battery is locked in place.
To remove the battery, whilst holding the supplied key turned in the
lock, pull the bottom on the battery first then remove the whole
battery.
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.
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.
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.
A battery that is
improperly
mounted may provide
intermitted power.
Always check the
battery is locked in
place with an audible
click.

Correct care and storage:
When not in use, store your 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.
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.
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).
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.

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.
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:
• If the brake is not working properly or the travel distance of
the brake lever is too great, you can adjust the brake using
the cable adjusting bolt on the brake lever.
