General Info
Assembly and Fit
The correct assembly of the bicycle is the basis for the safety, performance and comfort of the bicycle.
Please make sure your bike is correctly assembled before riding. Any questions, please feel free to
contact Maxfoot or seek help from a nearby bike shop.
NOTICE: If you do not have the experience, skill, and tools to complete assembly and fit, we recom-
mend having a certified, reputable bike mechanic complete these procedures as well as any future
adjustments or tuning.
Mandatory Equipment and Use Locations
Before each ride, please make sure you have all the necessary safety equipment and comply with the
relevant laws in your area. Maxfoot does not promote any riding behavior that violates the law.

General Info
Safety Check Before Each Ride
In addition to regular maintenance, you should also check the condition of your bicycle before each
ride. Any questions, please contact Maxfoot or seek help from a nearby bicycle shop. For more
information, please check the safety checklist before riding.
Electrical System
The electrical system on the electric bicycle is powered by the battery to provide various auxiliary functions
for the rider. Riders should be familiar with the electrical parts of electric bicycles and check them before
riding to ensure safe and comfortable riding.
The front and rear brake levers are equipped with a power cut-off system, which cuts off the motor’s
assistance when in use. Before riding, you should check the mechanical parts of the brake lever and
the power cut-off system to ensure that they are all operating normally.
The throttle is equipped with a switch, please make sure the switch function is normal before use.
When using the throttle, you should twist it slowly. It is not advisable to fully twist the throttle at one time,
otherwise it may cause current overload and trigger the battery overload protection.
If the throttle, brake lever cutoff switches, pedal assistance, or lighting are functioning abnormally,
intermittently, or not working, please discontinue using your ebike immediately and contact the Maxfoot
Support team for assistance.

General Info
Quick Release Levers
The seat of the electric trike adopts a quick-release structure, which is convenient for the rider to disassemble
or adjust it without tools. Since the quick release lever may become loose during transportation or
riding, regular inspections are necessary.
Tires and Wheels
The wheels should always keep straight when rotating. Once it is found to rotate left or right, swing up
or down, please stop riding immediately and repair or replace it.
Please regularly check whether the tire pressure is sufficiently. When inflating the inner tube, please
ensure that the air pressure inside the tire is the recommended air pressure value, otherwise it will
reduce the tire performance, cause damage to the parts, and affect riding safety.
Suspension, Handlebar, Grips, and Seat Adjustments
The suspension fork will affect the operation and experience of riding, so if you find that the suspension
fork is not working properly, please contact Maxfoot for replacement in time. Make sure that the handlebar
is aligned with the handlebar rod and installed correctly. The height and angle of the handlebars should
be adjusted to suit the rider before riding. If the handlebar cannot be fixed, please contact Maxfoot to
purchase replacement parts. Before riding, make sure that the saddle and seat post are properly
installed and fastened to the trike through the quick release device.

Step 6: Inflate the tires
Use a pump with a pressure gauge to inflate and inflate the tires with the recommended air pressure that is
located on the sidewall of every tire.
Please note that do not over inflate or under-inflate.
Step 7: Set the desired seat height
Open the quick release lever by hinging it open fully. Ensure the seatpost clamp opening is aligned with the
notch at the front of the seat tube. Adjust the seatpost up or down to a comfortable height,
while ensuring the seatpost is inserted into the frame past the minimum insertion point.
If needed, use the thumb nut to add tension to the clamp so there is some resistance when the lever is in line
with the clamp bolt, but do not overtighten.
Close the quick release lever to secure the seatpost and check that it cannot move. See the Adjusting the Seat
section of this manual for more details.
Step 8: Always check that the battery is locked to the frame of the trike before
riding
The Start-Up Procedure section shows more information on the key positions of the battery; on and locked
to the frame, off and locked to the frame, and off and unlocked (ready for removal from the frame). Operate
the electrical system when the battery has been adequately charged and the battery is secured to the
mounting receptacle on the frame.

Adjusting the Seat
A seat at the correct height leads to comfortable, even pedal strokes.
Place your heel on the pedal. When your foot is at the lowest point while pedaling, your knee to be slightly
bent, not locked out completely straight or curved. If your knee is bent you need to increase the height,
adjusting in small increments each time, and if your heel loses contact with the pedal then you need to lower
the saddle.
The optimal knee angle is 30 degrees. Raise saddle height 1mm for each degree above 30 degrees, or
lower saddle height 1mm for each degree below 30 degrees.
Adjusting the Seat Height
1.Open the quick-release lever at the base of the seat post by hand.
2.Ensure the seatpost is inserted into the frame and over the minimum insert mark then gently slide the
seatpost up or down to reach your ideal height.
3.Press the quick-release lever back down and adjust to its locked position and check that it cannot move.
Basic hand tightness will be enough

Adjusting the Seat
Adjusting the Seat Position and Angle
The angle and forward position of a bike seat will affect your riding comfort. The height of your seat isn't the
only thing that matters. Seats can be slid forward and backward and angled up or down to get rid of sore
spots and make a more comfortable ride.
Loosen the bolt underneath the seat to change forward/backward seat position. On the back of the seat,
pointing down at the back wheel, is a small bolt that controls the seat placement. It connects to a bracket
that clamps onto small metal tubes that hold the seat in place. Loosen this bolt by turning it
counter-clockwise to lower the pressure on the clamps that keep the seat in place.
Rider Comfort
A seat at the correct height leads to comfortable, even pedal strokes.
Place your heel on the pedal. When your foot is at the lowest point while pedaling, your knee should be
slightly bent, not locked out completely straight or curved. If your knee is bent you need to increase the
height, adjusting in small increments each time, and if your heel loses contact with the pedal then you need
to lower the saddle.
The optimal knee angle is 30 degrees. Raise saddle height 1mm for each degree above 30 degrees, or
lower saddle height 1mm for each degree below 30 degrees.

Battery Instructions
Charging Procedure
The MaxFoot battery can be charged on the bike or also can be removed and charged at a location away from the
E-bike.
1.Plug the charger into an AC outlet. The LED indication light should be green and red showing the charger is working
normally.
2.Then plug the charger into the charging port located on the side of the battery by sliding open the charger cover on
the battery. Charging should initiate and will be indicated by the LED charge status lights on the charger turning red.
3.Once fully charged, indicated by charging indicator light turning green and red, unplug the charger from the outlet
first and then remove the charger output plug from the battery charging port.
4.Ensure the battery and charger are not damaged before initiating charge.
If you notice anything unusual while charging, please discontinue charging and use of the bike and contact us via this
email: [email protected].
Battery Charging Information
1.Check the charger, charger cables, and battery for damage before beginning each charge.
2.Avoid subjecting the battery to high temperatures, such as directly under the sun, for prolonged periods of
time. Always charge in a safe area that is cool, dry.
3.The battery does not have to be completely discharged before it is recharged. Completely discharging will
reduce the numbers of recharging cycles during the battery’s life and limit the capacity.
4.A Lithium battery has no “memory effect" and therefore can be charged at any time. It is perfectly acceptable
to recharge the battery after a short ride so that the battery is fully charged before the next ride.
5.Do not leave a charging battery unattended.
