Please ensure that your eBike is properly sized for you before riding. If
your eBike is too small/too large, you may lose control and fall.
The most important part of t is ensuring that the seat position can be
adjusted so that the seated riders’ feet can touch the ground. This is
especially important for minors/children.
If your eBike does not t, please make the appropriate adjustments to
ensure a proper and safe t before riding.

Correct t is an essential part of eBike safety, comfort and proper
performance. If you are not able to make the proper adjustments to
ensure proper t yourself, please seek professional assistance.
 Note:Thiswillnotapplytostep-throughmodels
 Aproperlyttedroadbiketoberiddenonpavedsurfacesshouldhavea
minimumstand-overclearanceof1inch(2.5cm).
Stand-over Height
Diamond Frame eBikes:
 Stand-overheightisanimportant
basicelementofproperbiket.Itrefers
tothedistancefromtheground,tothe
topofthebikeframewhereyourcrotch
iswhenyouarestraddlingthebike.
 Tocheckforproperstand-over
height,straddlethebikeandbounceon
yourheels.Ifyoutouchtheframe,the
bikeistoobigforyou.
Tip: Be sure to wear the shoes that
 you’dwearwhileriding Figure1.StandoverHeight
 Note:Theseatpostmustbeinsertedtoat least theminimumseatpostdepth
 requirement.Ifyoucannotadjustyourseatproperly and meetthemimimum
 seatpostdepthrequirement,youwillneedtopurchasealongerseatpost.
If you cannot test this yourself, head to a local bike shop and have a
professional help you set the seat to an optimal riding position.
1.Sitontheseatandplaceoneheelon
apedal(doesn’tmatterwhichside).
2.Rotatethecrankuntilthepedalwith

andthecrankisarmisparalleltothe
seattube.
3.Yourlegshouldbecompletely
straight.Ifitisn’t,yourseatheightneeds
tobeadjusted.Ifyoumustrockyour
hipsinorderforyourheeltotouchthe
pedal,yourseatistoohigh.Ifyourleg
isbentwhileyourheelisrestingonthe

ofbothcomfortandperformanceoutofyoureBike.Followthestepslistedbelowto
checkforyourcorrectseatheight.
After any saddle adjustments, make sure that the seat adjusting
mechanism is properly tightened before riding. Failure to do so can
casue damage to the seat post and/or can cause you to lose control and
fall. When properly tightened, the seat should not be able to move in any
direction. Periodically check to ensure it is properly tightened.

Riding with worn brake pads, improperly installed brakes, or wheel where
you can visibly see the wear from the brake pads is dangerous and can
result in serious injury or death.
Applying the brakes suddenly or with too much pressure can result
in your wheel locking up. This can cause you to lose control and fall.
Some brakes (like hydraulic disc brakes) are incredibly powerful, so it’s
important that you take extra care when becoming familiar with using
these brakes.
Disc brakes can get extremely hot during and after extended use. Be
careful not to touch a disc brake until it has had plenty of time to
cool. This is especially important to remember if you are performing
maintenance that requires you to remove the front or rear wheel.
Disc rotors have sharp edges, exercise caution when handling them
during maintenance.
Review the brake manufacturer’s user manuals and be sure to properly
care for your brakes. It’s your responsibility to be able to recognize when
your brake pads need to be replaced.
Sudden or excessive application of the front brake may pitch the rider
over the handlebars.

thetire.TirePressureisthemostkeypieceofinformationforyoutoremember.
Inating a tire beyond the maximum pressure can blow the tire off the rim,
resulting in damage to the bike and potential injury to the rider.
 Usingabikespecictirepumpwithabuilt-inpressuregaugeishighly

We recommend carrying a spare inner tube with you when riding your
bike, as patching a tube is an emergency repair. If you do not execute it
correctly, or if you apply multiple patches, it can result in possible tube
failure. This could cause you to lose control and fall. Replace a patched
tube immediately.
Be sure to check your tire pressure frequently (at least every week) using
a high quality dial gauge.

TAKING CARE
Service
Technological advances have made eBikes and their components more
complex, thus it is impossible for this manual to cover all of the
information required to repair/maintain your eBike. It’s important that you
have any repairs or maintenance that is not covered in this manual, done
by a qualied professional in order to reduce the chances of an accident/
possible injury.
Lifespan
Like any machine, an eBike and its components will be subject to wear
and tear over time. Different parts and materials will have varying life
spans, and when a components lifespan is exceed, it can suddenly fail,
resulting in serious injury or even death for the rider.
Be sure to check your eBike and components thoroughly for signs of
scratches, cracks, fraying or discoloration as any parts with these kinds
of visible distress may be at the end of their lifespan.
Components may be covered for a period of time through the warranty,
however there is no guarantee that a product will last the term of the
warranty. The lifespan of your eBike and its components is related to the
riding you do, and the care that you take.
A crash or heavy impact can put incredible stress on eBike components,
causing them to wear out prematurely. Components that suffer from
extreme stress can fail suddenly, causing loss of control, serious injury,
or death. Be sure to chose the correct bike for your intended purpose.
