Mycle General Safety
General
Safety
Your Mycle Cargo has been built and tested in the UK by
our trained Cytech bike technicians. However, before trying
out your Cargo, make sure you carry out the routine checks
listed in the MAINTENANCE section of this manual.
When you first try the bike,
make sure the handlebars are
pointing forward and the road
ahead is clear. The assistance
will be triggered when you move
the pedals. Ensure your riding
complies with the Highway
Code and all trac rules.
Electric bikes are not suitable
for children under the age of 14,
and it is illegal for them to ride
on public highways. Riders
under the age of 18 should be
supervised by a grown-up.
We recommend starting your
first ride at level 1 (minimal
assist), then increasing assistance
levels as you grow in confidence.
When pushing the bike, always
set pedal assist to level 0 to
stop the bike accelerating if you
accidentally knock the pedals.
Be extra careful when riding
in dicult weather conditions,
such as rain, cold, ice and
snow, as well as at night.
Reduce your speed and allow
for longer stopping distances
on slippery surfaces.
When transporting your bike
on an external rack, we
recommend you remove the
battery and store it in a cool
place. We recommend you wear
protective clothing when cycling,
such as a helmet and gloves.
Failure to follow these warnings
could result in an accident,
injury or damage to your Cargo.
Mycle cannot take responsibility
for any faults or damage
that occurs from improper
maintenance or lack
of safety checks.

Mycle Quick Set Up

Put the bike on the double kick stand so it’s supporting itself.
The quick release lever can be found through the middle of the front wheel.
Simply slot the front wheel into place in the front fork making sure the discfits
into the brake caliper, then holding one side of the lever (the bolt side) rotate
the lever a few times to tighten the front wheel into place and close the lever
to secure the wheel. This lever closure part should be firm but not overly tight.
And the wheel should feel secure and not wobble.

The front wheel is attached with a quick release lever.
Front Wheel
Put the bolt into place from the rear wheel side and bolt it into the foot stand.
Then use the 2.5mm bolts and nuts to secure the 2 front parts on each side.
All these parts should be in the box with your charger for you.
This will require three bolts either side.

Assist
Power Assist is initiated by the pedals and operated
through the On Board control pannel. Simply pedalling
the bike will create an additional level of power to
increase your riding speed or help you tackle hills.
Switch between the different levels, in combination
with the gears, to maintain a steady pace over varying
terrain.
The Power Assist feature is what makes Mycle
special. You can switch from fully manual to high
speed assistance at the push of a button.

Carrying a cargo load involves additional risks, which
requires special attention and care. Braking, acceleration,
and balancing are all significantly aected by the cargo
loaded on the e-bike. To safely operate your e-bike while
carrying cargo, you must get used to the dierences in
braking, steering, balance, etc that come with the extra
weight.
• Ensure that your loads are properly secured and check periodically
that nothing loosens or at risks of interfering with any moving
components, or touching or dragging on the ground.
• Hills that are normally easy to climb and descend without cargo can
require additional eort, as the extra weight aects steering, braking,
balancing as well as the amount of power it takes to go uphill.
• To safely operate the Cargo, don’t let the cargo or passengers on
board distract or interfere with the rider whilst in use.
Carrying Children
• The use of certified and approved child seating and equipment is
required whenever carrying children. The included rear wheel guards
must be in place whenever carrying passengers to ensure feet and
hands are kept away from the wheels when the bike is in motion.
The Mycle Cargo should never be operated by pe rsons under the age
of 18. And the passengers should be over 4 years old unless they are
seated in a properly fitted and approved Child Safety Seat such as
those sold on www.mycle.co.uk.
• The rear rack is equipped with two installation windows for compatible
child seats. The windows are located under the included board,
which needs to be removed to install the child seats. For installation
instructions, safety notices, general information and tips on safe
operation of this accessory, visit www.mycle.co.uk or contact enquiries@
