USER MANUAL
Congratulations, once again, on buying an ERIDER Model 30!!!!
We are sure you will be excited by the delivery of your brand new bike
and you will be eager to start using your ERIDER as soon as possible.
However you will need to be a little patient as there are some
important things to be done before you can ride it.
The Model 30 is a registered vehicle and you must register it with
the DVLA before you can legally ride it on a UK road.
To do this you need to do the following.
1) Order form V55/4 from DVLA. You can do that online HERE You
should also download the guide to completing it HERE
2) Take a note of the Chassis Number of your bike and email the
3) We will send you by return the Certificate of Conformity, Certificate
of Newness, and Commercial Invoice for your bike by post. We will
also send you a template to help you complete the form.
4) Post all the above paperwork to DVLA.
5) DVLA will send you the V5C certificate
6) Order your number plate. There are some very good online
suppliers for example HERE
7) If you haven't got one buy a motorcycle helmet. Make sure you get
one that fits!!!
8) You're finally road legal!!! Enjoy your first ride.
Finally, in case your ERIDER is lost or stolen please record this
information to identify it:
Chassis
Number:…....................................................................................
Date of
Purchase:…...................................................................................
The frame number can be found behind the plastic extrusion on the
inside front panel of the bike.
During the time your ERIDER has been in transport and storage, its
battery will have lost some charge.
Before using the bike you must put the battery on charge. Plug
the charger to a power socket and you should get a green light on the
transformer. Attach the charger to the bike and this should turn red.
Wait until it turns green again and it is now fully charged.
General Usage:
With proper use and care your ERIDER will give many years of
pleasurable service. The maximum load your bike is designed to carry
is 180 kilograms. This should not be exceeded because it could make
the bike unsafe to drive and doing so will invalidate your warranty.
The ERIDER can be used in the wet or snow, but braking distances
will be longer in adverse conditions and you should take care to allow
for this. It is alright for the bike to get wet, but please make sure
that the motor is never submerged in water. This may cause it to
short circuit and result in serious damage which would not be covered
by warranty.
It is also good practice to fully charge your battery every three days in
cold weather. If your ERIDER is unused for a long period or if you
have a spare battery, which is not regularly used, you must fully
charge the battery at least every two months.
Please DO NOT use any other charger than the one supplied with
your bike. Also do not modify the bike in any way or replace any parts
from other suppliers. We cannot accept responsibility for damage or
failure caused by products which are not specifically made for use with
the ERIDER.
Before Each Ride:
1) Make sure all tail brake lights, indicators and headlight are
operational.
2) Make sure the horn is working.
3) Make sure the brakes are properly adjusted and working correctly.
4) Make sure your tyres are in good condition and correctly inflated.
5) Ensure your battery is fully charged (see below).
6) You should sit on the bike to adjust your mirrors and check that you
can see clearly behind you.
6) It is good practice to apply one of the brakes lightly while sitting on
the bike in a stationary position. This means that the throttle cannot
be operated unexpectedly.
7) The bike can now be started using the ignition key.
Operation:
To switch on the bike with the key, locate the power key socket below
and to the right of the handlebars. Select the ignition key. Insert the
key and turn to the 'ON' position. The information display will light up
and you are ready to go. The throttle is operated by the right handle
on the handlebar.
The ignition can be locked to prevent theft and can be opened by the
shaped nut on the key.
On the left handlebar handle you will find three controls
Top: Dipped and full beam headlight control
Middle: Slider switch to operate the indicators
Bottom: Warning horn
On the right handlebar handle you will find three controls
Top: Light switch
Right: Throttle
Bottom: Warning horn
During operation you must have the ERIDER switched on even if
you are not using the throttle and even if the battery is not in the
bike. Otherwise the motor will generate enough electricity to damage
the controller beyond repair and this damage would not be covered
by warranty
Your ERIDER will travel along flat roads at about 45 kilometers per
hour. It will slow down a little as you go uphill and may increase speed
a little downhill.
You should always drive your bike at a speed you feel comfortable with
and with consideration for other road users.
You should not do any of the following.
1) Weave through traffic or make unexpected manouvers.
2) Carry anything that obstructs your vision.
3) Hitch a ride on another vehicle.
4) Use headphones or a mobile phone while riding.
5) Use the bike wearing inappropriate footwear.
6) Ride while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
7) Remove one of your hands from the handlebar.
8) Ride while not properly seated.
9) Attempt jump ramps, kerbs or other objects.
10) Try to stop using the front brake only.
After Each Ride:
1) Make sure the ignition key is turned off and that all keys are
removed and kept in a safe place.
2) Put the bike on it's centre kick stand
3) Do not charge or store the bike with 20' of any flame.
4) Put the battery on charge ready for its next usage. Charging should
always be carried out in fully dry conditions. Any water ingress into the
transformer will cause it to malfunction.
Plug the charger to a 13 amp power socket and you should see a
green light on the transformer. Attach the charger to the bike or
battery and this light should turn red. Wait until the light turns green
again and your battery is now fully charged.
If the charger light does not turn green when connected to the mains
power or does not change from green to red when connected to the
battery you should disconnect the charger from the mains supply and
contact us.
Under no circumstances should you attempt to open the transformer.
