Always wear an ISI approved helmet when riding your bike. Learn and follow local and state
traffic use laws.
Any major service or adjustments on your bike not covered in this manual should be carried
out by a professional bicycle mechanic. If you wish to make adjustments yourself, this manual
contains important tips on how to do it.
CAUTION:
Any adjustments you make are entirely at your own risk. Do NOT use your bike for freestyle
or stunt riding, jumping or competitive events. You should know that off-road use or any
similar activities can be dangerous, and you assume the risk for personal injury, damages or
losses incurred from such use. Do not ride your bike when any part is damaged or not working
properly. You must, for your safety and the safety of other users, consult a professional bicycle
mechanic for any questions on repairs or maintenance.
WARNING:
As with all mechanical components, the bicycle is subjected to wear and high stresses.
Different materials and components react to wear or fatigue in different ways. As your bicycle
ages, you should inspect it more frequently to look for deformed, cracked, bent, or loose
components. Such conditions may lead to sudden failure. This may possibly cause injuries to
the rider. If something is cracked or broken, do not ride until repairs have been made.
RESPONSIBILITY OF THE OWNER!
IMPORTANT: Reading and following the information and instructions in this manual are
essential to the ability of the owner or any other persons allowed to use this bicycle in order to
ride safely.
1. It is the responsibility of the owner or in the case of a younger rider, the parents of the
rider to be certain all assembly instructions have been followed, even if the bike has
been assembled by the seller or a professional assembly company.

2. Brakes are essential to safety. Be sure they are checked and working properly before
each use. Remember that every mechanical system changes condition during use and
must be maintained and checked before each use.
3. Rules for bicycle use (bicycle laws) vary from location to location. So be certain the rider
knows and understands the rules that apply to bicycle usage in all areas where the
bicycle will be used. Wearing a helmet, light or reflective clothing, using lights and
reflectors are examples of rules which may exist and which make sense for rider safety
precautions at all times.
4. Know how to operate the bicycle and all equipment on it before first use and be certain
anyone allowed to use the bike knows how to properly and safely use the bike as well.
5. There are many different types of bicycles and often these types are designed for
different uses. Make sure you know what type unit you have and do not exceed its
service limitations
Be sure you check and understand the bicycle classifications set in this manual, including size
of the unit that is proper for the rider to insure good control during use.
Riders who are too small or large may have control problems. Do not overload a unit with a
rider that is too heavy or too large, and do not attempt to carry extra passengers, packages
or loads on the bicycle. Do not use street bikes for off road riding.
6. Your electric bike is water-resistant, but must be properly maintained to preserve this
condition. Please do not submerge the bicycle or any electric components in water.
Water entering electric components can cause a short circuit and damage the electric
components with possible injury to the rider and others.
7. The battery’s performance can be affected by its environment. Generally speaking,
battery’s discharge performance is better in a higher temperature. Electric power will
drop by more than 1/3 when the temperature is below 0ºC. Thus, this e-bike’s riding
distance per charge will become shorter in winter or cold areas. It returns to normal /
optimal when the temperature is higher than 20ºC.

BEFORE RIDING
1. WARNING - ON AND OFF-ROAD CONDITIONS: The condition of the riding surface
is very important to your safety. If the surface is wet, or has sand, leaves, small rocks or
other loose debris on the surface where you plan to ride, carefully decrease the speed of
the bicycle and ride with extra caution. It will take a longer time and more distance to
stop. Apply the brakes sooner and with less force. Always apply the rear brake first
allowing time and distance for it to take effect. Then follow by cautiously applying the
front brake, in order to maintain control of the bicycle. Rapid front brake application first
may cause a front pitch over or fall. Learn to use your brakes properly under controlled
conditions until you learn proper braking under all road conditions.
2. NOTICE: Vision is quite limited at dawn, dusk and at night for bike riders, motorists and
by-standers. If you must ride at night, take extra precautions, use front and rear lights,
wear flashers on your arms, wear light-colored clothing, and plan your route to ride in
well lighted areas avoiding High speed traffic areas.
3. NOTE: Always wear shoes when riding a bicycle and avoid loose fitting clothes. Wear a
cuff band or trouser clip to keep pants or other loose clothing from getting caught in the
chain wheel. Long sleeves, long pants, gloves, eye protection, an ISI approved helmet,
elbow and knee pads are recommended.
4. CAUTION: WET WEATHER WARNING: Check your brakes frequently. The ability to
stop is critical to your safety. Roads are slippery in wet weather so avoid sharp turns and
allow more distance for stopping. Brakes become less efficient when wet. Leaves, loose
gravel and other debris on the road can also lengthen stopping distance. If possible,
avoid riding in wet weather as vision and control are impaired, thus creating a greater
risk of accidents and injury.

5. CAUTION: A bicycle rider’s best defense against accidents is to be alert to road
conditions and traffic in the area. Do not wear anything that restricts your vision or your
hearing.
6. Obey all traffic regulations. Most traffic regulations apply to bike riders as well as
automobile operators. Observe all state and local traffic regulations, signs and signals.
Check with your local police station on bicycle licensing and inspection, and where it is
legal to ride your bike.
7. Keep to the LEFT SIDE of the road. Follow the traffic flow in a straight line close to the
curb. Watch out for opening car doors and cars moving in and out of traffic. Use caution
at intersections.
8. Never carry passengers. This is dangerous and it makes the bicycle harder to control.
Never carry anything that can inhibit your ability to control the bicycle or see the road.
9. When riding in pairs or in larger groups, form a single line along the right side of the road.
Set up a sensible distance between riders. Don’t follow too closely.
10. Always be alert. Animals or people may dart in front of you. Give pedestrians the right-
of-way. Don’t ride too close to pedestrians, and don’t park your bicycle where it can get
in the way of foot/vehicle traffic.
11. Be careful at all intersections. Slow down and look both ways before crossing.
12. Use hand signals. Always let other drivers and pedestrians know what you are going to
do. Signal 100 ft. before turning unless your hand is needed to control the bike.
13. Never hitch rides. Never hold onto moving vehicles while riding. Never stunt ride or jump
on your bike.

15 © Alpha Vector India Private Limited | Ninety One
14. ON AND OFF-ROAD OPERATION: Avoid the following road hazards: drain grills, pot
holes, ruts, soft road edges, gravel, leaves (especially when they are wet), uneven
pavement, railroad crossings, manhole covers, curbs, speed bumps, puddles, and debris
as all have an effect on your riding and may result in loss of control. Adjust your speed
and the way you use your brakes if you must ride in such areas.
15. If any components become loose while riding, STOP!! Immediately and tighten, or bring
to a mechanic for repair.
Just a minute spent before each ride can significantly improve your safety and the fun of the
ride. So, EACH TIME before you ride make a habit of performing the following safety checks:
Stand in front of the bicycle facing rearward and hold the front wheel securely between
your legs. Try to twist the handlebar and verify that they do not move. Then pull the
handlebars up, trying to lift the bike. There should be no movement.
Try to push the front wheel from side to side and confirm that it feels tight and will not
wobble. Lift the front wheel up by the handlebars and strike the wheel downward with
the heel of your hand to confirm that it is securely attached to the wheel. Spin the front
wheel and confirm that it does not wobble or contact the fork or brake pads.
Try to lift/push down on and twist the seat to confirm it is tight.
Look at the connection of the pedals to the crank arm. You should not see pedal screw
threads and the pedal should feel firm and be parallel to the ground.
Apply your brake(s) and make sure they feel firm to the touch, and then spin the wheel(s).
Apply the brakes. The brakes should stop the wheel(s).
Check to be sure that the fenders and accessories (if equipped) are firmly attached and
will not contact any moving parts. Make sure all reflectors are in position and not broken.
Now, put on your BICYCLE SAFETY HELMET and enjoy your ride. Your safety is well worth
just a minute. Also, be sure to read and follow the warnings and instructions in this manual

CORRECT FRAME SIZING :
When selecting a new bicycle, the correct choice of frame size is a very important safety
consideration. The ideal clearance will vary between types of bicycles and rider preference.
This makes straddling the frame when off the saddle easier and safer in situations such as
sudden traffic stops. Women can use a man’s bicycle to determine the correct size women’s
model.
THERE SHOULD BE A CLEARANCE OF approximately 1-2 INCHES BETWEEN THE
GROIN AREA OF THE
INTENDED RIDER AND THE TOP TUBE OF THE BICYCLE, WHILE THE RIDER
STRADDLES THE BICYCLE WITH
1-2” BOTH FEET FLAT ON THE GROUND.
THE SEAT POST “MINIMUM INSERTION” / “MAXIMUM HEIGHT” MARK SHOULD
NOT BE VISIBLE WHEN THE SEAT POST IS INSERTED INTO THE SEAT MAST OF
THE BIKE. DO NOT RAISE THE SEAT POST BEYOND THIS MARK. THE SEAT POST
OR FRAME MAY BREAK CAUSING YOU TO LOSE CONTROL AND FALL. ALWAYS
CHECK TO MAKE SURE THE SEAT POST ADJUSTING MECHANISM IS TIGHTENED
SECURELY BEFORE RIDING.

RIDING POSITION
SADDLE HEIGHT
In order to obtain the most comfortable riding position and offer the best possible pedaling,
correct saddle height should not allow leg strain from over- extension, and the hips should not
rock from side to side when pedaling. While sitting on the bicycle with one pedal at its lowest
point, place the ball of your foot on the pedal. The correct saddle height will allow the knee to
be slightly bent in this position.
REACH
To obtain maximum comfort, the rider should not over extend his or her reach when riding.
There should be a slight bend in the rider’s elbows. Refer to the section regarding seat and
seat posts to learn how to adjust the seat post height.
Arms not over extended
Pedal bottom position
Handle bar stem height about the
same as seat height
