Dear Customer,
Thank you for your purchase of your eZeebike. You’re a step closer
to a great way of greating around thats fast, fun and friendly to the
environment.
Using a technology called Pulse Wave Modulation control, our
brushless hub motors do not wear out like regular DC motors.
Planetary reduction gears itted in the hub gives our motor a
powerful torque. Combined with your pedalling, eZeebikes latten out
those hills and overcome headwinds with a breeze.
Under normal cruising conditions (15 km/h), the motor draws
~5 amps at 150W, a torque of 5 Nm and an eiciency of ~ 83%. At
20 km/h, its power consumption is 1 kwH for 100 kms. Your ride is
eicient and lots of fun!
While our pledge to quality means our components are high value
and reliable. It’s your part to understand the safety implications and
the possible risks of cycling. So take some time and read this manual.
It explains the bike in detail, how to take care of it, so that you can
enjoy using the bike for years to come.

EU regulations state that your vehicle is an Electric Powered Assist Cycle (EPAC) when the following conditions are met, and is now governed by the latest European regulation
EN15194:2009 for EU. [ EU directive 2002/24/EC Chapter 1 Article 1 1(h) ]
“Cycles with pedal assistance which are equipped with an auxiliary electric motor having a maximum continuous rated power of 0.25 kW, of which the output is progressively
reduced and inally cut o as the vehicle reaches a speed of 25 km/h or if the cyclist stops pedaling.”
Conforming to EN reg., the power assist of an eZeebike only functions while the rider is pedalling. The means of controlling the power level of the assistance adjusted by the power
setting from the console or throttle.
Legal Regulations
In USA it is governed by Consumer Product Safety Commission 16 CFR Part 1512 requirements for low speed electric bicycles.
USA regulations allow an ebike throttled maximum speed of 20 mph. eZee bike made for the USA has a motor nominally rated at 500 watts.
For markets that are not subject to EN reg. the bike comes with default mode that allows PAS or ebike mode simultaneously.
Electric bicycles does not require a license or moped certiicate, there is no age limit and you can take cycling paths. It conforms to regulations of normal bicycles. Legal
requirements concerning insurance of your bicycle may dier, so do ind out about the rules and regulations in your country.

How eZeebike works
Your irst ride
Before you wheel your bike out into the world, we recommend you practice handling the bike in a safe area away from obstructions and traic. The motor may look small, but it’s
powerful ! You’ll be riding faster than you think.
Turn the key to the ‘ON’ position. A red LED will illuminate below the key socket. If the light lashes, read the Troubleshooting section of this manual. If it shines steadily, you’re ready
for the next step.
EPAC / Pedelec
As you pedal, rotation on the crank is picked up by a sensor in the bottom bracket. This allows the drive system to be engaged.There are 5 levels of speed/power selection on the
console.
EBike
The motor runs as soon as you turn the throttle. Ensure that you are seated and ready to ride o before you use the throttle
In E-bike mode, the range of your bike will be approximately 40 kms (25 miles) with a 10ah battery. The hillier the terrain, the less you pedal, shortens your range. While EPAC,
judicious use of gears, power assistance all contributes to increasing the mileage you can get out of your ride to about 60 kms (40 miles).
You can always choose to ride your bicycle as an ordinary push bicycle.
Battery power consumption
With a fully charged bicycle, the battery level gauge shows ‘green’. As you cycle, the battery power drops and the gauge will show the state of charge remaining. When it remains
on ‘amber’ and dips into ‘red’, you have approximately 20% of the charge left. Best to recharge the battery soon.
Continued use of an empty battery by ‘pulsing’ will cause deep discharge, this is detrimental to the battery and reduces its lifespan.
Lighting system
Front and rear LED lights are powered by the main battery
Lock
Turning the key to the ‘OFF’ position and removing it will shut the system o and lock the battery in place. Use a chain lock to further secure your bicycle
Central support stand
This stand supports your bike straight up. Use your feet to depress the stand downwards and pull the bike in reverse. Do not sit on the bike with the stand parked.
Luggage rack
If you plan to carry luggage on the rear, make sure everything is securely fastened and clear from the rear wheel. Do however, take note that the load limit is 25 kgs.

13
Maintenance
Maintaining your bicycle ensures you’ll get the most out of every ride and out of the entire life of your eZee bike. How much of your bike’s maintenance you can do yourself will
depend on your knowledge, skill, experience and whether you have the necessary tools for the job.
Learning from available cycling literature and joining cycling communities can be an enjoyable way of improving your skill and knowledge about maintaining bicycles. Beyond this
manual, it is good to consult your LBS and eZee dealer for advice regularly.
Before every ride
Mechanical safety checks, use a fully charged battery, visual inspection for damages.
Every 150kms (100 miles)
Clean the bike, incl. chain rings and sprocket. Clean and lightly oil the chain and gears.
Every 20 - 30 hours of riding
Squeeze the brakes and rock the bike to check for any looseness with each forward of backward movement. If the headset is loose, have your dealer check it.
Lift the front wheel and rotate handlebars to check for tightness of steering, it may be necessary to lubricate ball bearings.
Check and recalibrate the brakes, replace if worn out.
Every 20 - 30 hours of riding (continued)
Squeeze spokes in adjoining pairs between your thumb and index inger. They all should have the same tension. Have your dealer respoke or true the wheel if necessary.
Check cables for rust, kinks and fraying, have your dealer replace them if necessary.
Repairing a punctured tyre.
If you have a punctured tyre, we recommend that you get a specialist to carry out the repairs. You can always of course consult a specialist and carry out the repairs on your own.
Changing Tyres on hub motor wheel
With the hub motor wheel, there are additional steps in the case you require the entire wheel to be removed from the bike. A philips head screwdriver will be required to open
the cable housing (shown on left) to irst unplug the wires than run from the motor to controller.. Unplug these before proceeding to remove the front wheel. Be mindful of the
tightening assembly sequence of washers, nuts and spacers.
Hub motor and general inspection
After 5,000 kms (3,000 miles) of cycling. We recommend you arrange to have a thorough inspection of your bicycle by an eZee dealer.
