Cheers!
Your Star is now fully assembled in all its glo. Give yourself a pat
on the back and admire your work. Take some pictures, call a friend,
and take a well-deseed break while charging.
Traditionally, the right brake lever will control the rear brake, while
the left brake lever will control the front brake. However, this may
va depending on what count you are in, and can always be
adjusted to suit your own preference.
To check which conguration your eBike is set up with, squeeze
one brake lever and look to see whether the front or rear brake
engages. Now do the same with the other brake lever. Remember
this conguration.
While you are testing the brake conguration, make sure that
your hands can comfoably reach and squeeze the levers with no
issues. If you experience any issues or discomfo operating the
brakes, please reach out to us before riding.
It’s impoant that your learn, and remember, which brake lever
controls each brake (front/rear) in order to ensure your safety.
Maintenance Instructions
BRAKES

Test your brake tension by
squeezing your brake levers. If they
feel too loose, adjust the tension
by twisting the barrel adjusters on
either side.
To check which conguration your eBike is set up with, squeeze one

Now do the same with the other brake lever. Remember this

While you are testing the brake conguration, make sure that your

If you experience any issues or discomfo operating the brakes,
please reach out to us before riding.
Disc rotors have sharp edges, exercise caution when handling them
during maintenance.
Riding with worn brake pads, improperly installed brakes, or
wheels where you can visibly see the wear from the brake pads, is
dangerous and can result in serious inju or death.
Disc Brakes
WARNING!
Tip: Twist clockwise to decrease tension, and counterclockwise
to increase tension.

Inating a tire beyond the maximum pressure can
blow the tire o the rim, resulting in damage to the
bike and potential inju to the rider.
Your Star will come standard with 26” X 4.0” CST fat tires. It’s
impoant that you understand the appropriate conditions
and terrain these tires can handle, in order to ensure safe
riding.
Using a bike specic tire pump with a built-in pressure gauge is
highly recommended. If you do not have access to one, or do not
feel comfoable inating them yourself, please seek professional
assistance from your local bike shop.
High tire pressures work best for smooth, d pavement rides,
while low pressures give the best peormance on smooth, slick
terrain. However, increasing or decreasing tire pressure will have
no aect on the terrain that the tire is designed to handle. A road
tire at low pressure still cannot handle terrains such as clay or
sand.
Sudden or excessive application of the front brake may pitch the
rider over the handlebars.
TIRES
Size, pressure rating and other information can often be
found on the sidewall of the tire. Tire pressure is the most key
piece of information for you to remember.

It’s impoant to follow these instructions and safety tips in order
to presee the longevity of your batte’s life and ensure proper
peormance.
Fully charge the batte before each ride to make sure it’s ready to
go the full range. This will help reduce the chance of over-dis�
charging the batte.
If you are unsure, reach out to us or your local bike shop to deter�
mine the best tire pressure for the kind of riding you will do most
often.
BATTERY CARE
It’s impoant to follow these instructions and safety tips in order
to presee the longevity of your batte’s life and ensure proper
peormance.
Fully charge the batte before each ride to make sure it’s ready to
go the full range. This will help reduce the chance of over-dis�
charging the batte.
The charger is rated for 100-240V. Be sure to check the charger,
charging cables, and batte for damage before beginning each
charge.
Charging Your Batte
If the batte becomes physically damaged, non-func�
tional, has been dropped, or involved in a crash, or you
notice it peorming abnormally, please discontinue
use and contact ESKUTE BIKE immediately.
13

When you rst receive your bike, it’s impoant that you follow
these steps to ensure that your batte cells are properly balanced
in order to optimize batte longevity.
Balancing Your Batte
Do not cover the charger while in use.
Do not open the charger or alter the voltage input.
If there appears to be any issue with the charger or batte,
stop riding and contact us immediately
Charging time takes about 4-5 hours. On rare occasion, it may take
longer to allow the batte to fully charge, paicularly when the
bike is new or has been stored for long period of time.
While the charger is designed to automatically stop charging once
the batte is full, do not leave it plugged in for periods of time
greater than 12 hours.
Make sure your charger avoids contact with liquids, di, and
debris.
The charger may get hot while in use. However if it gets too hot to
touch, or you notice anything such as a strange smell or other
indications that it may possibly be overheating, discontinue use
immediately and contact ESKUTE Bike.
Only charge the batte with the supplied ESKUTE
charger, as others may cause damage to the batte or
increase the possibility of re or explosion.
14

Failure to follow proper batte care practices can result in
unnecessa wear to the components, batte, and/or charger,
which could lead to a batte that underpeorms, or becomes
non-functional. Loss of batte capacity is not covered by
warranty.
1. For the rst initial charge upon receiving your bike (or after long
storage time), be sure to charge the batte for at least 8 hours
before riding.
2. After the rst 3 rides, you may begin normal charging proce�
dures.
If you plan on storing your bike (or spare batte) for longer than
two weeks at a time, please be sure to follow these guidelines in
order to maintain the lifespan of your batte.
It is recommended that you do not leave the batte at lower than
an 80% charge when storing for long periods of times. If storing
for a month or longer, periodically check the batte and be sure
to keep the charge up to at least 80%.
Store your batte in a cool, d area away from water and other
elements at a temperature between 50℉ - 77 ℉ (10℃ - 25℃).
Storing Your Batte
Note: We recommend that you let the batte charge for at least 8 hours for
the rst 3 charges to make sure the cells balance properly.

More Tips
Proper maintenance is essential for your safety and to ensure
that you get optimal peormance from your eBike. If you are
unable
to peorm the general maintenance yourself, please reach out
to a qualied mechanic.
Be sure to frequently inspect and tighten your crank bolts
as needed. Crank bolts can loosen on any bike, especially
after strenuous use.
While you are able to ride in the rain, rust is a bikes worst
enemy! Be sure to d o your ebike after a wet ride.
Inspect the bolts on a regular basis to ensure that they are
tight and all components are secure.
Properly inate your tires. Under inated tires are prone to
ats and can aect the smoothness of your ride.
