Please ll out the warranty form located on our website at
http://www.evelo.com/warranty-and-returns/registration/ to register your bicycle.
Registration is required before we can process a warranty claim. Registration is also a
great security feature. Each bike has two unique serial numbers — one for the frame and
the other for the motor — which the authorities can use to identify your bike if it is stolen.
The frame’s serial number is located on the head tube, just above the front fork. The
motor’s serial number is on the top of the motor housing.
The battery lock key number is stamped on the key itself, and may be useful if
replacement is required.
Please take a moment to write your serial numbers here and keep a record in a safe place:

The battery provided with your EVELO Electric Bicycle is a high-quality unit that requires
very little from the user in terms of care. However, a few things are worth noting with
respect to any Lithium Ion battery. To maximize the lifespan of your battery, we
suggest an initial conditioning charge of 12 hours. After that, connect it to the charger
as needed. While there is no need to recharge the battery following short trips, we
recommend not leaving a battery partially discharged — and especially not completely
discharged — for extended periods of time.
A typical charge takes 4-6 hours (longer in very cold temperatures) to complete. The
battery will perform best if you do NOT leave it plugged in constantly, since charging /
discharging keeps the electrons in the unit moving, which improves longevity.
Using Your Charger
The charger that comes with your bike has internal controls that prevent overcharging of
the battery. First, plug the charger into the battery. Then check the wire connections at the
charger block to make sure the cord is fully seated, and then plug it into a 120v AC outlet.
The light on the charger should be RED, and that light will change to GREEN when the
battery is fully charged. We do not recommend leaving the unit plugged in for extended
periods of time.
In addition, we do not recommend using the charger unit in poorly ventilated spaces such
as closets or drawers, as it may overheat.
Environmental Conditions
Temperature extremes can affect your battery. Please keep it within the following
temperature ranges, as suggested by the battery manufacturer:
Charging: 32 degrees to 113 degrees F (0 degrees – 45 degrees C)
Discharging and Storage: -4 degrees to 140 degrees F (-20 degrees to 60 degrees C)
Storage
If you store your battery for 30 days or longer, it is suggested that you keep it in a place
that is within the above temperatures and give it a full 12-hour conditioning charge every
30 days.

Overview
The models in our line are very similar, but do have some
differences — especially when it comes to assembly.
NOTE : If you do not have the ability or skill to assemble the
bicycle yourself, please take it to a local bike shop for professional
assembly.
You should have received an email containing an assembly video after
you placed your order. Contact us if you would like that video re-sent.
In addition, our Customer Service Team can help guide you through the
process if needed. Tools to complete the job are included, and some of
the smaller pieces are packed inside the charger box to prevent loss.
Proper assembly is extremely important for the safe and smooth
operation of your electric bicycle. Please read through the entire
assembly instructions before beginning.
Once again, if you do not feel comfortable assembling the bicycle
yourself, please take it to a qualified bicycle mechanic.
The following are assembly directions for each of the four EVELO models.
Find and follow the specic directions for the model of electric bicycle
you have purchased.

Many parts of your new EVELO Electric Bicycle can be
customized for a personalized t.
Seat Adjustment
The seat is easily adjusted up or down by ipping the quick-release lever that clamps
the post into the bike. Note that there is a “minimum insertion line” stamped on the seat
post that must be adhered to for safety’s sake. (If you need your seat to be higher than
permitted with the stock seat post, please contact us.)
The seat can also be moved forward and backward by loosening the single bolt on the
underside of the seat. Since it slides on its rails, there is no need to remove the bolt — just
loosen it, adjust, and rmly re-tighten. Loosening this bolt also lets you change the angle
of the seat up or down a bit. Again, be sure to re-tighten it rmly if you loosen it to change
the seat position in any way.
Stem Adjustment
To adjust the handlebars to a customized height:
Loosen the bolt indicated by the arrow in1.
Fig. 12. Access this bolt from underneath
the handlebars.
FIG 12. STEM CLAMP BOLT
Next, slightly loosen the bolts on either side.2.
Once you have loosened all three bolts,3.

they are tightened very well.
Finish by re-tightening the rst bolt located5.
under the handlebars (the one indicated by
the arrow in Fig. 12).
Depending on how much you moved the stem, you may want to rotate the6.
handlebars themselves, especially if you need to correct the angle of the brake levers.
Just loosen the two bolts that clamp the handlebar, rotate it to the desired position,
and re-tighten the bolts. (This is described in the section, “Attach Handlebars” on
Page 13.)
Double-check all bolts to make sure they are tight.7.
Front Shock
Please consult the manual provided by the manufacturer.
Rear Shock
To make the ride rmer and lower the frame slightly, grasp the barrel of the shock and
rotate in the direction of the Orange arrow (shown in Fig. 14) to compress the internal
spring. Alternatively, rotate in the direction of the Blue arrow to relax the spring, which will
increase the “travel” of the shock and soften the ride, raising the frame slightly.
Tire Inflation
The tires have a range of recommended ination
of 40-65 psi. This range is also indicated on
the sidewall of the tire. Lower pressure will give
a softer ride. A higher pressure will provide
a rmer ride, but will give the best range per
charge.

Seat Adjustment
The seat is easily adjusted up or down by ipping the quick-release lever that clamps
the post into the bike. Note that there is a “minimum insertion line” stamped on the seat
post that must be adhered to for safety’s sake. (If you need your seat to be higher than
permitted with the stock seat post, please contact us.)
The seat can also be moved forward and backward by loosening the single bolt on the
underside of the seat. Since it slides on its rails, there is no need to remove the bolt — just
loosen it, adjust, and rmly re-tighten. Loosening this bolt also lets you change the angle
of the seat up or down a bit. Again, be sure to re-tighten it rmly if you loosen it to change
the seat position in any way.
Stem Adjustment
To adjust the handlebars to a customized height, lift the clamping lever (as you did during
assembly) to access the silver pivot bolt. Loosen that bolt, adjust the height, and re-
tighten the bolt. Next, reposition the handlebars and lower the clamping lever.
Front Shock
Please consult the manual provided by the manufacturer.
Tire Inflation
The tires have a range of recommended ination of 40-65 psi. This range is also indicated
on the sidewall of the tire. Lower pressure will give a softer ride. A higher pressure will
provide a rmer ride, but will give the best range per charge.

STEP 1 :INSTALL FRONT WHEEL
To install the front wheel, you rst need to determine the right and left sides of the1.
front wheel. The easiest way to accomplish this is to nd the small magnet located
on one of the spokes, and orient the wheel so that the magnet is on the same side as
the black sensor attached to the fork. This will ensure you have correctly oriented the
wheel as to left and right.
The front wheel is attached to the bike with a quick-release type of skewer. After2.
locating the skewer, remove the nut on the end opposite the lever, and slide one of
the conical springs onto the skewer — wide-end rst.
Once the spring is against the lever’s nut, slide the skewer through the axle so that3.
the lever is on the left side of the wheel.
Now slide the second spring onto the skewer — narrow-end rst — then screw the4.
nut partially back on.
Rotate the fork so the brake is toward the front of the bike.5.
Release the front brake by squeezing the brake arms, and lift the bent tube holding6.

With the axle fully seated into the fork dropouts (the slots that accept the axle), and7.
the lever in the OPEN position, turn the nut to adjust the clamping pressure, and
swing the lever rearward to the CLOSED position, where you will feel noticeable
resistance. The lever should leave a slight impression in your hand, and the lever
should be parallel to the center-line of the bike when adjusted properly.

While taking care to keep the wires and cables as straight as possible, place the center2.
of the handlebars into the bracket and replace the upper portion of the bracket.
Tighten the bolts evenly so there is equal space at the front and rear of the bracket.3.
Firmly tighten both of the bolts.4.
FIG 1C. BRAKE ARCH
CRITICAL :If the wheel is oriented
correctly, the brake arch (the painted
portion of the fork that bridges the two
fork legs) of the front fork should be
rotated FORWARD, as in Fig. 1C.
You can now lower the kickstand to keep
the bike upright for the remainder of the
assembly.

STEP 5 :INSTALL PEDALS
Keep in mind that the left and right pedals are threaded differently, and it is crucial that they
are installed on the correct side of the bicycle. For this reason, they are marked “L” and “R”
with stickers at the factory.
Locate the right-side pedal (marked with an “R”).1.
Thread the “R” pedal clockwise onto the drive-side crank (side of the bike with gears).2.
Tighten the “R” pedal clockwise with a 15 mm wrench or the wrench provided.3.
Locate the left-side pedal (marked with an “L”).4.
Thread the “L” pedal5. CouNter-CloCKWiSe*onto the non-drive-side crank (side of

Just loosen the two bolts that clamp the handlebar, rotate it to the desired position,
and re-tighten the bolts. (This is described in the section, “Attach Handlebars” on
Page 34.)
Double-check all bolts to make sure they are tight.7.
Front Shock
Please consult the manual provided by the manufacturer.
Tire Inflation
The recommended ination range for the tires is indicated on the tire sidewall (50-75 psi).
Lower pressure will give a softer ride. A higher pressure will provide a rmer ride, but will
give the best range per charge.
Carry out this pre-ride checklist before EVERY RIDE!
Make sure the tires are properly inated. All bicycle tires gradually
lose air over time, and this can affect handling, range, and puncture-
resistance.
Are the “Quick Release” levers on the front wheel and seat tight?
Check both wheels for broken spokes. If you nd any, seek service
before riding the bike.
Are the handlebars tight? If there is any noticeable movement,
tighten properly before riding.
Visually inspect your tires for cuts, embedded glass, or other signs
of possible failure.
Make sure that the pedals are screwed in tightly, as damage is
possible if they come loose.
Are the brakes working properly? Squeeze the levers before riding
to ensure they apply the brakes, and then test them at a very low
speed. Turn on the pedal-assist and while riding at a very low speed,
make sure the motor turns off when either brake lever is squeezed.
