DISPLAY & FUNCTIONS
CONTROLS
Turning the ebike ON/OFF
Press and hold the 'ON/OFF' Button for 2 seconds to turn the electric system
on or off. The control panel can only be used when the battery is connected
to the ebike and key switched to the 'on' position. If the system is not used
for a duration of 5 minutes, it will shut itself off to conserve battery.
Selecting the speed mode
Press the ‘S+’ button for 2 seconds to switch between displaying
current speed, maximum speed and average speed.
Selecting the display options
Tap the ‘ON/OFF’ button to switch between the different functions
of the display. (Odometer, Trip distance, Timer, etc.)
Adjusting the pedal assistance levels
Use the ‘S+’ and ‘S-’ buttons to select the different levels of pedal assistance. (0 - 5)
Power level 5 gives the strongest assistance from the motor.
NOTE: The battery will run out of power quicker when
using a higher level of pedal assistance.
Throttle
Your bike is equipped with an on demand throttle on the left grip. Regardless of the
power assist level you select the throttle is capable of taking you to top speed.
You can use the throttle along with the pedal assist or on its own.
Lighting
With the ebike’s power on , tap the ‘C’ button once. This will turn
on the backlight for the display, as well as the front light. Tapping
the power button once again will turn the lighting off.
NOTE: The lighting system is powered through the ebikes lithium battery pack.

PEDAL ASSISTANCE
WHAT IS PEDAL ASSISTANCE?
The bike is equipped with 5 levels of electronic pedal assistance.
As you pedal, the motor will assist you and enhance your pedaling effort. This will allow
you to pedal much further and faster but use much less energy and effort. It is also a
great feature when climbing a hill, as the motor will help to make any climb easy.
TURNING PEDAL ASSISTANCE ON AND OFF
By using the ‘S+’ and ‘S-’ buttons, you can increase or decrease the level of assistance.
Pedal assist levels 1-3 are meant to be used more on at roads or paths, the higher
levels (4 and 5) are more powerful and meant for hills, slopes, or heavy circumstances.
If you prefer to ride slowly, it would be more comfortable for you to ride in a lower
power level. If you prefer to ride faster, then you should increase the power level.
DERAILLEUR FUNCTIONS
Your bike is equipped with a Shimano 8 speed derailleur.
Please choose the proper gear to match the riding terrain.
The use of a proper gear along with pedal assisted or conventional
power will enhance your riding experience.
We recommend checking your derailleurs functions at least once a month.

PEDAL ASSISTANCE
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS WHILE USING THE
PEDAL ASSIST & ON DEMAND THROTTLE
• Since the motor is assisting you, you will easily reach higher speeds
than you might be used to. We recommend that you ride the bike in
a minimal trafc area at rst to become more comfortable with it.
• The operation of the pedal assistance depends on the speed
at which the pedals are rotated and your cycling speed.
• The electric motor speed is limited to a speed of 32 Km/h (20 mph).
This means that as you reach this speed electrical assistance
stops and returns when speed returns to 32km/h ( 20 mph )
• The level of pedal assistance will affect the battery range.
Battery range is dependent on many factors which are
measured under average conditions. It is dependent on, but
not limited to, rider weight, speed, elevation, tire pressure,
wind, start-stop frequency, and outside temperature.
ATTENTION! Remember that acceleration will be much quicker
with pedal assistance.
ATTENTION! Make sure to turn off the power when walking
next to, mounting, or dismounting the bike.
ATTENTION! Hold both brakes when stationary.
YOU MUST ALWAYS WEAR AN APPROVED BICYCLE HELMET
WHEN RIDING AN ELECTRIC BIKE.

BATTERY & CHARGING
BATTERY RANGE
How far can I travel on my electric bike?
The total distance you can travel on your electric bike is not an easy amount to
specify. The range depends on many different factors including, but not limited to:
• Total Weight (weight of the bike + rider + cargo)
• Resistance (wind, tire pressure, speed, road conditions and altitude)
• Outside Temperature
• The level of pedal assistance and throttle usage
• The condition of the battery
(battery capacity decreases as the battery ages)
Battery Capacity
Batteries are often compared based on capacity - Amp hours (Ah).
However, a comparison based on capacity alone does not properly depict a battery since
the performance of a battery pack is also based on battery voltage (V). The best way to
compare battery performance is by looking at the amount of energy that can be used in
watt-hours (Wh). Wh take into account both the capacity of the battery, as well as the
average voltage during discharge. Simply put, the higher the V/Ah, the higher Wh range!
Wh calculation ex: 48 V x 13 Ah = 624 Wh

You can either move seat sideways or remove seat post to facilitate the installation
of the battery. The battery has a mounting groove on the back which lines up with
the battery mounting rail as shown (gure 13.2 and gure 13.3). Slide the battery
down the mounting rail until it connects to the bike. At this time you can either lock
the battery into the bike and remove the key or operate the bike (see above).

BATTERY & CHARGING
CHARGING THE BATTERY
The battery can be charged both on and off of the bike.
Please identify your charging port (gure 14.1).
First plug the chargers male plug into the battery, then plug the chargers 110
volt plug into your wall outlet. (Do not use an extension for 110 volt.)
The indicator on the charger will light green for a few seconds and
if a charge is necessary, the LED will turn red. The battery is fully
charged when the battery indicator LED becomes green.
Unplug the charger from the wall rst, and then from the battery.
If the battery is not mounted to the bike you can always
check the battery level as seen in gure 14.2.
ATTENTION! Unplug the charger when the battery
is fully charged, or when charger is not in use.
ATTENTION! When the battery is completely depleted you
must charge it immediately. If the cells are left depleted for a
long period of time, they may become irreparably damaged.
Fig. 14.1 Fig. 14.2
ATTENTION! Make sure to only charge the
battery in a dry, well ventilated area.

15www.igoelectric.com
BATTERY & CHARGING
ATTENTION! Please recycle your battery to an
authorized recycling company in your area.
ATTENTION! The battery will sustain permanent damage if not
used for a long period of time (ex: Winter storage). SEE PAGE 16
Make sure to charge the battery once a month during this time.
WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT YOUR BATTERY
• DO NOT connect the positive terminal of the
battery to the negative terminal.
• The battery is sealed and therefore is rain resistant,
however, DO NOT expose your battery to water.
• The battery should be recycled properly at the end of its life.
• The performance of the battery will decrease at low temperatures.*
• Under ideal conditions, the battery pack can be recharged
approximately 750 times. The performance will slowly
decrease over time and eventually will need to be replaced.
• DO NOT expose your battery to high temperatures.
(>50°C), such as direct sunlight)
• Problems: remove the battery from the bike and consult your dealer.
• For long term storage see storage info page 16.
• Use ONLY the supplied charger.
*The action mentioned is optimal at temperatures of approx. +/- 25°C. The guideline
is that the capacity will decrease by 1% at every 1°C of temperature drop.

BATTERY & CHARGING
IMPORTANT BATTERY STORAGE INFORMATION
When not using your bike for periods exceeding
one month please charge as follows:
1. Before storage make sure that the battery is not charged
more than 50% so that it will except a periodic charge.
(You cannot periodically charge a fully charged battery)
2. Once every month you must attach the supplied battery
charger and charge for a period of no more than 15 minutes.
3. Continue this procedure once a month until more frequent riding.
This process will make sure that your battery does not stay
at a specic rate of charge for long periods of time.

ADJUSTING YOUR ERGOFIT EBIKE
ADJUSTING YOUR SEAT HEIGHT
Your seat height should be adjusted properly to ensure you get the most
comfortable ride possible. The seat height is properly adjusted when your knee has
a slight bend when sitting on the saddle with your foot on the pedal at its lowest
position (gure 20.1). The seat height can be adjusted by loosening the lever on
the seat tube clamp gure 20.2. Make sure to retighten after adjustment.
Fig. 20.2Fig. 20.1
ATTENTION! Ensure that the safety marks for max. height written
on the seat post are not visible when retightening the hex bolt.
ATTENTION! If you can put your feet at on the
ground while seated, your seat height is too low.
