IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
• Do not operate this e-Bike without carefully reading the manual and
understanding how to operate the e-Bike.
• Wear your helmet, gloves and other protective gear before riding
to protect yourself from injury in case of an accident. We recommend
wearing bright or reflective clothes when riding at night.
• Observe rules and regulations when using this e-Bike. Passengers
should not be carried. When riding in rainy, snowy or slippery
conditions reduce your speed and increase the distance between
yourself and other vehicles.
• Your insurance policies may not provide coverage for accidents
involving the use of this e-Bike; to determine if coverage is provided
you should contact your insurance agent.
• Charge the battery in a dry place and ensure there is ventilation.
Neither the battery nor the charger should be covered during the
charging process. A lot of heat can be created during the charging
process and this has to be able to escape. Otherwise this could
lead to a danger of overheating or a possible hazard. We recommend
charging under supervision or with the user present. Only use an
Erikson charger to charge the battery.
• If planning to store the battery for a long time without using it, make
sure to charge it before storing. The battery is best preserved in
a cool and dry environment. It also needs to be charged once a month
if planning to store for several months.
• Lock then remove the key before riding. Otherwise, you may injure
yourself on the protruding key, lose or damage the key, or the battery
could become loose and fall out. This could result in accidents and
injury.
• The e-Bike should not be left out in the rain for a long time or
submerged because if water enters into the controller and motor
wheel, it may cause short circuit and damage the electrical
components.
• Keep appropriate air pressure inside the tires, so as to avoid
increasing friction when riding, as low air pressure may easily wear
the tires and deform the rim.
• When riding with high speed or downhill, use the rear brake to avoid
the center of gravity from moving ahead, as using the front break may
result in a shift in the center of gravity and may be dangerous.
• Do not alter any components on the e-Bike. Any changes to
the e-Bike not approved by Erikson will nullify the warranty
on the manufacturer’s side and may result to damage or injury.

OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENT
INTRODUCTION TO THE HYBRID-POWERED SYSTEM
The Hybrid Power system consists of the following components:
• Smart Sensor – Sensing your pedaling rate and velocity.
• Smart Controller – Real time calculating and coordinating
optimized power output.
• Battery Management System – Providing electric power to the
system while balancing the power consumption and protecting the
battery cells.
• BLDC Motor – Provide the power assist.
• Cycling computer – Control and display terminal.
As soon as you start pedaling, the system will sense your cadence
(pedaling rate) and traveling speed and control the motor in real-
time to provide the “just-right” power assist that matches your riding
conditions, making your riding much easier and more comfortable .
With the hybrid system you have the option to avoid a sweaty commute,
or be slowed by an injury, headwinds or hills, and just enjoy riding.
BATTERY AND CHARGING
The battery should be charged before it is used for the first time. Please
only use the charger designated by Erikson for charging; otherwise it
might damage the battery, and may even lead to fire and other hazard.
Warranty will be voided if a charger other than the one designated by
Erikson is used.

1. Check carefully whether the rated input voltage of the charger is
consistent with the voltage of the power grid.
2. Connect first the output plug of the charger with the charging
jack of the battery properly, and then connect the input plug of
the charger to the AC power supply.
3. Fully charge of an “empty” battery takes 3-4 hours, when the
charge indicator light on the charger turns from red to green, the
battery has been fully charged.
4. After charging, first pull out the AC power plug, and then pull out
the plug connected with the battery.
SAFETY CONCERNS
1. The battery should be charged in a open environment, staying
away from high temperature, high humidity and fire, because the
battery and the charger are electronic products, high
temperature and humidity will corrode electronic components,
resulting in some harmful gases and soot, and even a possible
explosion.
2. The charging time should not be too long. An excessive charging
time will lead to shortened life expectancy of the battery.
BATTERY MAINTENANCE
1. You can achieve the best possible performance and lifespan of
your battery by charging on a regular basis and using it within the
recommended temperature range. The battery has almost no
memory effect thanks to the Li-ion technology.
2. Leaving a fully discharged battery for a long time will lead to
permanent loss of function. Please recharge an empty battery as
soon as you have a chance to. If storing the battery for an
extended period, we recommend to recharge at least up to ¾
(4 LEDs) at least every 30 days to avoid damage to the battery. A
dead battery due to neglect is not a warranty claim.
4. Every battery with Li-ion technology is subject to an unstoppable
chemical aging process. Provided the bicycle has been used
properly, remaining capacity of 85% after 500 charging cycles.
5. Please follow municipal regulations as to how to discard the
battery appropriately, so as to avoid environmental pollution.
6. Recommended temperature ranges:
a. Charging/Discharging: 0-45˚C, 32-113˚F
b. Storage: <35˚C / 95˚F

SADDLE POSITION
A properly adjusted saddle can minimize discomfort on the-Bike and
make your pedaling more efficient. Take some time to get the correct
saddle position as it will improve your overall riding experience. Saddles
can be adjusted in three ways: saddle height, forward/backward
position and tilt. To adjust you simply loosen the bolt/clamp, adjust and
re-tighten.
SADDLE HEIGHT
The saddle height controls the leverage for your pedaling. Too low
and it puts stress on your knees, too high and you may rub the saddle
excessively. There are a number of ways to get the right saddle height.
A good way of doing it is to sit on the-Bike with both feet on the pedals
– get a friend to help, use a trainer or lean against a wall. Place your
pedals in the 6 o’clock and 12 o’clock position. Your bottom leg should be
fully extended when the heel is placed on the lower pedal. If it’s bent you
need to raise the saddle. If you have to rock your hips to reach or simply
can’t reach, then lower the saddle. You can also tell if the saddle is too
high if you find you are sitting on the narrow front part of the saddle. If
you want to do it more scientifically, use this web-based tool:
http://www.ebicycles.com/bicycle-tools/saddle-height
When pedaling, PAS icon is on.
When speed is reaching/above 7km/h, long
press to enter into cruise mode.
Then cruise icon will be showed on display.
Brake or press any button to quit Cruise mode

SAFETY CONCERNS
The seat post has a MAX marked line (that is, the safety line), this is the
MAX height that you can raise the saddle. In any cases of adjustment,
the MAX marked line should always below the seat post clamp. Serious
injury may be caused to the rider if the saddle height is raised beyond
the MAX line.
SADDLE FORWARD/BACKWARD POSITION
The forward/backward position of the saddle will determine how your
body is balanced which will also dictate how comfortable and effective
you are on the e-Bike. One way of positioning the saddle is to put it 2 to
2.5 inches behind the centerline of the bottom bracket axle or spindle.
SADDLE TILT
The saddle tilt is also important. If the nose is tilted down too much it
will slide you onto the narrower part of the saddle, movement which
then tends to be countered in the hands, putting strain on your arms
and shoulders. If it’s tilted up too much you’ll feel it in your genital area.
The general rule is to set the saddle parallel to the ground however
some women prefer a slight down-tilt (particularly if they use saddles
designed for men) and men a slight up tilt, but this should be very small.
Whatever position you want to try, test it out for a week or so, change it
again slightly and try it again until it’s just right.
BRAKE SYSTEM
The braking system is an accessory necessary for each bike and is
key to riding safety. The braking system includes brake levers, brake
assemblies and a brake cable.

INTENDED USE
This e-Bike is intended for transporting one person at a time. Fit your
bicycle with suitable equipment if you would like to transport cargo.
Ensure that you do not exceed the maximum permissible load (rider +
luggage) of 330 lb (150 kg).
The manufacturer and dealer do not assume any liability for activities
above and beyond the intended use. This particularly applies for not
adhering to safety advice and damage resulting from this, for instance:
off-road use, carrying excess weight or making improper repairs to
defects. The-Bike is not generally designed to withstand extreme
stress, such as riding down large steps or over jumps.
BEFORE THE RIDE
1) Please fully charge the battery before the first use.
2) Please ensure that your e-Bike is ready for use and is adjusted to
your body, including:
a) Setting the position and fixture of the seat and handlebar
b) Checking the assembly and settings of the brakes
c) Securing the wheels into the frame and fork
d) Checking the tire pressure
3) Ensure that you know which lever operates which brake. Operate
and ride your bicycle in a quiet and safe place.
4) Ensure that the wheels are securely fastened in the frame and
fork. Check that the wheels and thru axles as well as all important
nuts and bolts are secure.
5) Push the wheels forward with the brakes pulled. The back brake
should completely prevent the back wheel from moving, while the
front brake should lift the back wheel off the ground with its
braking effect. The bicycle’s steering should not rattle under
braking or exhibit any play (right/left).
6) The effectiveness of brakes can be different in wet conditions or
on slippery surfaces. Please take into account the possibility of
longer braking distances and slippery road surfaces when riding.
7) Check the air pressure in the tires. Please adhere to the required
minimum and maximum pressure. As a general rule of thumb,
e.g. on a ride, you can check the tire pressure as follows: If you
place your thumb on a pumped up tire, you should not be able to
significantly change its shape by applying pressure.
