Mycle General Safety
General
Safety
Your Mycle Compact Plus has been built and tested in the UK
by our trained Cytech bike technicians. However, before trying
out your Compact, 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. Make sure the
wheels are set-up correctly and
they are secure. The assistance
will be triggered when you move
the pedals. Ensure your riding
complies with the Highway
Code and all trac 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 using the twist throttle
(as explained on page 17) be
aware the space in front of you
is free from potential hazards as
the bike will accelerate at up to
6kmph.
Be extra careful when riding
in dicult 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
Compact Plus. Mycle cannot
take responsibility for any faults
or damage that occurs from
improper maintenance or lack
of safety checks.

Assembly Instructions
Your bike will come unfolded, but with your handlebars dropped down.
Step 1 - Set handlebars
1. Unfold handlbar into position by rotating the handlebar stem upward so
it is upright, and the hinge is closed.
2. Fold the stem clasp release lever up and press towards the stem until
the release lever clicks into place to sercure.
Step 2 - Attaching your front wheel
1. Take your wheel. Make sure your quick release lever is in the open
position. Place the wheel into the front fork, ensuring the disc brake is fed
into the brake calliper.
2. Use one hand to hold onto the nut, and use the other hand the turn the
quick release lever in a clockwise direct to secure the wheel into the place.
Once it’s firmly in place, close the quick release level (you should feel some
resistance) If adaquate tention is not reached, open the quick release
lever adding additional tightness, and re-close.
Step 3 - Set the desired seat height and handle bar height
Open the quick release lever on the seatpost/handlebars, pull up or push
down to reach your preered height, and close the lever.
If the seatpost is slipping down, add tention by rotating the lever
clockwise so there is some resistance when the lever is in line with the
clamp bolt, but do not over tighten. Close the quick release lever to secure
the seat post and check that it cannot move.
Step 4 - Secure the folding mechanisms.
Check that the central frame hinge is latched and securely locked. Use
caution to keep fingers, clothing, etc away from the folding parts and
potential pinch points. Always check the frame folding mechanism latch
and handlebar folding mechanism latch are locked before moving or
riding the bike.

Step 5 - Check the battery
Always check that the battery is locked to the frame of the Compact Plus
before riding. Only operate the electrical system when the battery has
been adequately charged and the battery is secured to the mounting
receptacle on the frame.
NOTICE
Ensure all hardware is tightened properly following recommended torque
values. Also ensure that all safety checks in the following sections are
performed before the first use of the bike. Do not extend any components
including the handlebar stem, seat post, or seat saddle beyond any
minimum/maximum insertion marking etched into the components.
Ensure all components are secured before moving on to the next step,
otherwise damage or injury could occur.
Setting up your Mycle
Rider Comfort
Generally, for the most comfortable riding position and best possible
pedaling eciency, the seat height should be set correctly in relation
to the rider’s leg length, as described in the ‘Adjusting the Seat Height’
section above, allowing the knee to be slightly bent with the ball of the
foot on the pedal and the pedal at the lowest point at the bottom of the
pedal stroke.
Depending on a rider’s preference, ability, and amount of experience
with e-bike riding, lowering the seat so the rider can put one or both feet
on the ground without dismounting from the seat may oer a safer and
more comfortable experience while operating the bike.
NOTICE
If you have any questions regarding the proper fit of your bike please
consult a certified, reputable local bike mechanic for assistance fitting
the bike to a rider or contact us.
Mycle Quick Set Up
11
To adjust the seat height:
1. Open the quick release lever by swinging the lever open and outwards
fully.
2. Move the seat up and down by sliding the seat post in or out of the
seat tube. Set the desired seat height.
NOTICE
Ensure the seat post and seat are properly adjusted before riding. DO
NOT raise the seat post beyond the minimum insertion marking etched
into the seat post tube. If the seat post projects from the frame beyond
these markings, the seat post or frame may break, which could cause a
rider to lose control and fall. Ensure the minimum insertion markings on
the seat post are inside the seat tube of the frame.
Before using the bike, always check to ensure all latches,
levers, and quick releases are properly secured and
undamaged. Check that they are correctly secured before
every ride and after every time the bike is left unsupervised,
even for a short time. Otherwise, the handlebar stem and/
or seat post may come loose and can result in loss of control,
damage to the bike/property or injury.
Adjusting the Seat Position and Angle
1. Use a 13 mm wrench to loosen the seat adjustment bolt underneath the
seat on the clamp positioned immediately underneath the seat, above
the rear wheel.
2. Once the bolt and clamp are adequately loose, rotate the front of the
seat up or down to adjust the angle of the seat; a seat position horizontal
to flat ground is desirable for most riders. Move the seat backwards or
forwards within the white limit markings on the seat rail, which show
the minimum and maximum horizontal movement allowed for this
component. Do not exceed these limits.
3. While holding the seat in the desired position, use a 13 mm wrench to
tighten the seat adjustment bolt securely.
Mycle Quick Set Up
12
NOTICE
Prior to first use, be sure to tighten the seat clamp via the seat
adjustment bolt properly. A loose seat clamp or seat post adjustment
bolt can cause bike/property damage, loss of control, a fall or injury.
Periodically check to make sure that the seat clamp is properly tightened.
Adjusting the Suspension Fork
The suspension fork can move up and down, which can make riding on
a rough road or trail smoother and more comfortable. How much eect
this can have is adjusted by the preload adjustment knobs, located on
the top of both sides of the suspension fork. To soften the ride, subtract
resistance by turning the preload adjustment knob anticlockwise, in the
direction of the small on the knob. To make the suspension stier when
going over bumps, add resistance by turning the preload adjustment
knob clockwise, in the direction of the small “+’ on the knob.

Pre-Ride Safety Checks
Bike Set-up .........................................10
NOTICE
A critical aspect of assembling your bike from Mycle is securing the front
wheel and checking the tightness of the rear wheel axle nuts. These
mechanisms may become loose or unsecured over time with normal use.
Both wheels must be properly secured before operating your bike.
Safety Check Before Each Ride
Always check the condition of your e-bike before you ride in addition to
having regular maintenance performed. If you are unsure how to conduct
a check see the ‘Safety Checklist’ section of this manual (page 28) for
more information.
Electrical System Check
It is vdised to reulrl check the electricl sstem on our Compct
Plus. This system oers various levels of power assistance and lighting for
dierent operating conditions and user preferences. It is critical that you
familiarize yourself with all aspects of your ebikes electrical system and
check to see that it is working correctly before every ride.
The front and rear brake levers contain motor cut-o switches, which
disable the hub motor’s assistance when applied, and both levers should
be checked for correct operation.
The twist power assist should provide smooth acceleration when gradually
applied. If the twist power assist, motor cut-o switches, pedal assistance,
or lighting is functioning abnormally, intermittently, or not working at all,
please discontinue use of your Compact Plus immediately and contact our
team for assistance on enquiries@mycle.co.uk.
Brakes
Ensure brakes are working correctly and that all braking system components
are free from damage and properly secured. When you fully squeeze
the brake levers, ensure neither the front nor rear brake levers touch
the handlebar. Add brake cable tension or take your bike to a certified,
reputable bike mechanic to have the brakes repaired if you find a problem.
Tyres and Wheels
Your wheels should always spin straight and must be repaired or replaced
if they wobble side to side or up and down when spinning. If your wheels
become untrue or spokes loosen, which can happen with normal use,
Mycle Quick Set Up
15
we recommend you have a certified, reputable bike mechanic perform
all wheel tuning and truing operations on your Compact Plus. Do not
attempt to true wheels or tighten spokes unless you have adequate
knowledge, tools, and experience. Ensure your tyres and inner tubes are in
good working condition, without any visual damage, and have the correct
amount of air pressure, indicated on the tyre side-wall.
Always replace tyres and inner tubes with punctures, cuts, or damage
before you ride. Tyres without the correct amount of air pressure can
reduce performance, increase tyre and component wear, and make riding
your ebike unsafe. See the Tyre Inflation and Replacement section of this
manual for more information.
Quick Release Levers
Quick release levers are located on your Compact Plus for securing the
seat-post and the front wheel to the bike. These provide convenience to
the user since they allow the front wheel to be removed and the seat-
post to be adjusted without tools. Since quick release levers can be
loosened during transportation, or accidentally between or during rides,
it is important that you regularly check to ensure these components are
properly secured.
Suspension, Handlebar, Grips and Seat Adjustments
The suspension fork on your Compact Plus will aect the handling of the
bike so you must understand how it works before use. The suspension
fork should be properly adjusted for your weight and terrain. Ensure
the handlebar and handlebar stem are properly aligned, fitted to the
rider, and secured to their recommended torque values. Handlebar grips
should not move easily on the handlebar end. Loose, worn, or damaged
handlebar grips should be replaced before you ride. The seat and seat-
post should be properly aligned, fitted to the rider, and the seat-post
quick release should be properly tightened, fully closed, and secured
before riding.
Battery Charged, Secured, and Unplugged
Ensure the battery is adequately charged and operating properly. The
battery gauge on the control unit and charge status indicator on the
battery should read similarly. Ensure the battery charger is unplugged
from.
Changing Components or Attaching Accessories
The use of non-original components or spare parts can jeopardise the
safety of your ebike, void your warranty and, in some cases, cause your
ebike to not conform with laws pertaining to your bike.
