Disc Brakes
Your MaxFoot bike is equipped with disc brakes for maximum
reliability. Applying hand pressure to the brake levers will
engage the brake pads against the brake rotor, creating friction
and slowing down the wheel. The more hand pressure applied
to the brake lever, the faster the bike will come to a stop.
The rear brake should always be applied before and while the
front brake is applied. Applying only the front brake to slow or
stop at high speeds may result in the rider being ejected from
the saddle and continuing forward over the handlebars. It is
best to apply even pressure to both brake levers when slowing
or stopping.
Bicycles equipped with disc brakes will occasionally make a
slight scraping noise when the wheels are turning without the
brakes being applied. This is normal.
WARNING: Disc brake rotors become hot during use. Do not
touch or come in contact with the disc rotor shortly after use.
Wet weather will require a longer distance to stop. Brake earlier
and avoid sudden stops when riding in wet conditions.

Make sure that the brake lever does not contact the handlebar when full
hand pressure is applied. The contact point should feel firm and solid. If
the lever travels all the way to the handlebar or feels spongy, they may
require service by a qualified bicycle technician.
If the brakes are still not operating correctly, they may require further
adjustment by an experienced bicycle mechanic.
Note: The barrel adjusted should only be used to take up initial cable
slack, not to adjust the brake pads for wear.
New Brakes Bed-in Procedure
New brakes will require a “bed-in” procedure prior to your first ride which will
ensure the most consistent and powerful braking feel.
1. Find a safe riding area that will allow for moderate speed. Remain seated
during the entire procedure for optimal results.
Important Note: Do not lock up the wheels at any point during the bed-in
procedure.
2. Accelerate the bike to a moderate speed, then firmly squeeze the brake levers
until you are at walking speed. Repeat this process about twenty times.
3. Accelerate the bike to a faster speed, then firmly squeeze the brake levers
until you are at walking speed. Repeat this process about ten times.
4. Allow the brakes to cool down before your first ride.

Assembly Instructions
Make sure the seat is tight enough so that
you can’t twist it out of alignment. Pull the
seat clamp handle away from the seat
post and slide the seat up or down to
adjust it. Move the clamp handle inward
toward the seat post so it is held tight by
the clamp.
This should require a fair amount of force
to ensure the seat post is held tight.
Turning the bolt clockwise will increase
the clamping force and counter-clockwise
will decrease the clamping force.
Make sure the seat is not set with the
vertical maximum height marks above the
clamp.

Assembly Instructions
Use the 15 mm Allen key the tool
kit to attach and tighten the pedals.
PLEASE NOTE –The pedals are
marked “L” for Left and “R” for
Right. The left pedal is attached by
turning it counterclockwise and the
right pedal is tightened by turning it
clockwise. Make sure the pedals
are tightly attached to the crank
arms to prevent stripping.

Front Suspension Travel & Sag Guide
Sag is a measurement of the amount of suspension fork travel with the rider
stationary in their normal riding position. The Sag depends on the position
and weight of the rider and should be between 15% and 30% of the fork’s
max travel depending on the intended use and preferences.
The suspension is preset from the factory. Please visit your local dealer or
[e-mail], if any adjustments are needed or to purchase a
suspension pump
Speeds
Your MaxFoot bike is equipped with 7 speeds. The first gear is for easier and
uphill pedaling, and the last gear is for maximum speed on level or downhill
terrain. Change gears only while pedaling. The rear wheel contains seven
chain sprockets. When the chain is around the largest sprocket, you are in 1st
gear, or the lowest gear. The high gear will have the derailleur positioned so
that the chain is directed around the smallest gear. Every position on the gear
selector should cause a gear change. Adjustments require fine tuning and
should only be made by a qualified technician.
Avoid changing gears very rapidly from first gear to the last gear or vice
versa. If you change multiple gears too quickly, you could have the chain
come off the front sprocket.

Keys
The keys are used to lock the battery into place. Always make sure that the key position is in the “open” setting when removing or inserting the
battery. Move the key to the “lock” position to secure battery before operating bike. Riding the bike with the key in the “open” position risks allowing
the battery to slide out and damage the battery when dropped. Always remove battery from bike when transporting on a bike rack.
After receiving the E-bike, please keep the keys separately. In case of losing both keys, MaxFoot is not able to deliver replacements
Appearance Care & Maintenance
Periodically clean your MaxFoot electric bike with a damp cloth. Avoid spraying the bike with a water hose to avoid electrical issues. Store your bike in
a dry shelter area away from direct sunlight and wet or damp environment. It is also recommended to apply chain lube to the drivetrain of your bike
when you clean it or wipe it down to keep it in good running condition.
Monthly, clean your drivetrain and inspect chain for wear, re-apply lubricant to the chain and wipe off any excess with a rag. Check wheels for loose
spokes; tighten if necessary. Check the tightness of stationary and moving parts; such as the crank arms and pedals, stem bolts, axle nuts, etc. Inspect
your braking system, both levers and calipers to ensure safety while riding. Replace damaged or worn parts; such as cables and brake pads.
Battery Fuse
The fuse is designed to protect the battery. If the fuse blows, there will be no power to any of the electrical components powered by the battery. You
can contact MaxFoot customer service at [e-mail]
Tires & Inner Tubes
Use a reliable tire air pressure gauge to check for proper inflation before every ride. At the same time, inspect tires for excessive wear and cracks.
Replace tires if necessary.

Hand Throttle Control
When the pedal assist mode is set to “0”, the pedal assist function(s)
do not engage. The throttle control still work.
The throttle control is operated on the right hand side.
You control the throttle by twisting it from its resting position. The
farther the throttle switch is from its resting position, the more
power is delivered to the motor to accelerate the MaxFoot.
When you want to slow down, you simply release the throttle and let
it return to its resting position and simultaneously apply the brakes.
The MaxFoot also comes with a Throttle Override function which
allows the throttle to work in pedal assist modes.
NOTE: THE THROTTLE WITH A SWITCH

Charger
Included with your new MaxFoot is a lithium ion battery, along with a charger, which plugs into a standard household electric
outlet.
A lithium ion battery requires specially designed chargers. You should never charge your battery with a substitute charger that is
not designed for this use. Use of an unsuitable charger to charge a lithium ion battery could result in over-heating, fire or even
explosion.
Recharging the Battery
The MaxFoot battery may be charged while on the bike or removed and charged at a location away from the E-bike. The battery is
easily removed by turning the key lock to the open/unlock position, folding the frame of the bike, pulling out the battery from the
frame.
To charge the battery, plug the charger into an AC outlet. The LED indication light should be green and red showing the charger is
working normally. Then plug the charger into the charging port located on the bottom or side of the battery by sliding open the
charger cover.

Battery and Charger Care
The charger will charge a fully depleted battery in 4—5 hours.
The indicator light on the charger will be red when battery is charging and will turn green when fully charged.
Avoid subjecting the battery to high temperatures, such as directly under the sun, for prolonged periods of time. Recharge the
battery before it becomes completely discharged. Completely discharging will reduce the numbers of recharging cycles during
the battery’s life and limit the capacity. Never store the battery in a discharged state. After much use, your battery’s
charge-holding capacity will decrease. If you find that your battery does not hold a sufficient charge, you should contact
MaxFoot to order a replacement.
Please fully charge the battery at least once a month when the E-bike is not in use!!!
•Recharge battery after every use.
•Do not disassemble or alter the battery or battery charger.
•Do not place the battery near fire or corrosive substances.
•Do not allow any liquids on or inside the battery/charger.

MaxFoot Helmet:
Always wear an approved helmet while riding your MaxFoot bike and follow the helmet manufacturer’s instructions for fit,
use and care of your helmet. It is your responsibility to familiarize yourself with the laws of where you ride your MaxFoot
bike and to comply with all applicable laws.
Mechanical Safety Check:
Check the condition of your MaxFoot bike before every ride. Make sure no nuts, bolts or accessories are loose, with
particular attention to the front axle and handlebar stem. Make sure the tires are correctly inflated with the recommended
air pressure that is located on the side wall of every tire. Check the brakes for proper operation.
You must take your bike in to be serviced and checked by a qualified bike mechanic after 100 miles (160 kilometers) of
riding. This is a standard good practice for any new bike as cables will stretch and components will ‘break in’. The service
must include spoke tensioning for both front and rear wheels.

Apply to All MaxFoot Models
Your First Ride:
When you buckle on your helmet and go for your first ride, be sure to pick an area away from cars, other cyclists, obstacles
or other hazards in order to become familiar with the controls, features and performance of your new MaxFoot bike.
Additional Passengers:
Most MaxFoot models are designed for one rider only. DO NOT carry any additional passengers on the front or rear of the
bike.
Weight Capacity:
MaxFoot Electric Bikes are designed with a maximum weight capacity of 300 pounds (136 kg) for Tricycles and most models.
When bikes are equipped with fat tires, the weight capacity increases to 350 pounds (158 kg). Exceeding the maximum
weight capacity can result in damage of the bike which can lead to serious injury.
Note
We don't recommend to use MaxFoot E-Bikes in the rain. The Battery, Motor or Controller can get damaged. Also avoid to
clean the E-Bike with high-pressure cleaner or running water.
The bike has to be turned on when standstill, otherwise it may cause shortcircuit.

Getting to Know Your Bike or Trike:
Carrying a load and riding a long-wheelbase bike both require getting experience too. Practice maneuvering and braking on a
flat, hazard and traffic-free street with and without a load before going out into the world. Carrying a heavy load involves
risks, foremost of which can be decreased braking power and increased stopping distance.
Sitting on the Carrier Seat:
always (both legs on the same side of the bike) on the carrier seat while the bike is moving or stopped can easily result in
broken limbs, loss of control of the bike, destroyed rims, a destroyed bike frame, or worse.
Children:
The user of this product acknowledges both an understanding and an assumption of the risks involved in cycling, cycling with
cargo, and cycling with a passenger. Children are highly recommended not to ride on any of MaxFoot electric bicycles or
tricycles .It is very dangerous and high opportunity cause of serious injury.
Use Good Judgment:
Make sure no straps are dangling where they could get caught in the wheels. No bags, boxes or any items are in a position
where they could be caught in the spokes, Double check your load for security and stability. Check that your brakes are well
adjusted. Check to see that your wheels are securely fastened. Check that your helmet is securely fastened. Make sure no
components or frame members are cracked or broken. In general, if at any time you notice a crack or bend in your bike,
stem, forks, or bars of your bicycle, stop riding immediately; take your MaxFoot bike to your local bike shop and have them
inspect it.
