Intensive use of the electric bicycle or riding it not on flat roads can
cause damage to the bicycle so that the bicycle will be out of order ahead
of time and result in injuries.
Like other machine combination, electric vehicles will also be aging
due to high pressure and wear. Different materials or components have
different aging situations. Once surpassing the expected service life,
electric bicycle is likely to be blew out suddenly and cause injuries during
the using process. Under high pressure, cracks, scratches or discoloration
can be occurred to electric vehicles, which indicate that the components
have exceeded their using services and should be replaced.
Therefore, you are advised to regularly check the frame, front fork
and rim of your electric bicycle, especially in the case of intensive use.
You are also advised to read the instruction in detail before using the
electric bicycle, which contains the information of the first adjustment,
maintenance and use. Wish you have safety and happiness when using the
electric bicycle and get satisfaction.
Important Suggestion:
1. Wearing a suitable helmet when riding.

1Battery: extraction, charge, insertion, use and
maintenance
Battery is located behind the central beam and it should be fully
charged before using. If you need to take out the battery, please follow the
steps below:
1.1 Extract battery: turn the seat around before inserting the key, then turn
they key clockwise till the bolt jumps open. The unlocked battery then
can be extracted (making sure that the key is turned to the bottom).
1.2 Grab the handle of the battery, lift it up vertically.

- 5 -
1.3 Charge: connect the charging plug of the charger to the battery, and
then, plug the charger power plug into AC socket, finally remove battery
separator and turn the switch on.
The charging time is about 6 hours (initial electric quantity is zero),
and if the battery has parts of electric quantity, charging time should be
shortened. But for fully charging maintenance, charging time will be
extended: generally the expected additional charging time of battery is
1-2 hours.

- 6 -
1.4 Reinsert battery: insert battery in the groove behind the seat and push
it down to the end until the battery is completely locked.
Push battery down
1.5 Be sure to lock the battery box tightly against theft.
1.6 Battery debugging period: during the using periods for first 5 to 10
times (fully charging and discharging in about 2 to 5 times), there will be
chemical reaction inside the battery. If the reaction is inadequate, the
battery can’t achieve the best running status, so charge using in the first
time will not exceed 80% of the capacity of electricity.
1.7 Battery has no memory effect. You can charge when the electricity
has or has not been used completely. It is advised that charge timely after
each use in case that the electric vehicle stops operation on the way.

- 7 -
1.8 When fully charged, the indicator light on the top of the charger will
turn from red to green. Considering the service life of the charger, you’d
better unplug after finishing charge each time.
1.9 Maintenance obligations: just as muscle movement can keep normal
only by adding sugar regularly, battery needs being recharged regularly.
Interval time of charging must not exceed one month, or the battery will
be accelerated aging that can lead to failure. If it’s the above mentioned
reason that causes failure, you can’t enjoy warranty service.
1.10 Compared with summer, driving range in winter will reduce
10%-20%.
1.11 The cycle life of an ordinary battery is about 500 times, while that of
a high quality battery is 700 times which is equal to 2 to 4 years of use.
Good habits of using and maintenance will prolong the using service of
the battery.

3Tire Inflation
Observe the tire walls and control the tire pressure intensity. Unit:
P.S.I. or BAR（kgf/cm2)
Make sure that the tire pressure is always between the minimum and
maximum threshold recommended, an under inflated tire will deflated
more easily and excessive inflation will cause a burst
Tip: in order to avoid tire burst, please operate according to the
requirements.
4Maximum Load
The maximum load of the electric bicycle is 220-280 lb (including the

7Maintenance and Adjustment
7.1 Lubricating Methods
Steel rope and other rotating parts need to use Vaseline lubricating oil,
while chain should use special oil. After cleaning, add oil to such
fulcrums as front axle, middle axle, rear axle, flywheel, front fork, chain,
etc. for lubrication.
7.2 Adjustment of chain tightness
If the chain is too tight, the driving speed will be influenced; if too
loose, the chain will be easy to escape.
You need to adjust chain tightness regularly according to the
following method:
Loosen the nuts on the both sides of the rear axle, and move the rear
wheel backward slightly until the chain gets moderate tightness. At the
same time, you should pay attention that the rear wheel should be parallel
with the bicycle frame flat, then fasten the nuts on the both sides to make
tightening torque being 35Nm (front wheel and rear wheel).

- 15 -
7.3 Adjustment of the Speed Control System
Please adjust the speed control system as follows:
*When pedaling gently, you can change shift by pressing the control
lever of the derailleur, ensuring the chain fits onto the fly wheel. When
poor contact or noise is detected, you can try to adjust the screws or the
lever cable. Not to pedal hard.
*Please do not press the control level when the bicycle is not in
operation (not moving) and do not press it with too much strength either.
*Do not pedal backward while changing shift, you might risk
causing the chain to slip off or inflicting damage to the derailleur.
Place the bicycle onto an adjustment station or an adjustment rack
before adjusting the speed control system. Gently pull the steel cable to
ensure full contact between the steel cable and the tube. When the chain
cannot be shifted to or slips off from the smallest sprocket, you can adjust
the rear derailleur “L” adjusting screw; when the chain cannot be shifted
to or slips off from the largest sprocket, you can adjust the rear derailleur
“H” adjusting screw (A). If the chain “jumps over teeth” （chain
jamming ）after adjusting the rear derailleur, you can adjust the rear
derailleur fine-tuning adjusting screw (B).

7.4 Adjustment of the Brake System
When adjusting the brake system, you need to ensure that the brake
block not only parallels but also aligns with the rim so that the brake
block will not touch the tire when you apply the brake system when
riding (A).
The acting surface of the brake blocks wears and must be changed
after being used for a certain amount of time. Some rims have a safety
braking groove. A rim must be changed if its safety braking groove has
been completely worn off.
When adjusting the brake system, a lack of spring force on the springs
of the right/left clamp arm can cause the left/right braking arm to act
incongruently. When this happens, you can fine-tune the screw (B).

Note: use the brake handle correctly for safe braking. In order to avoid
brake failure or injuries, don’t hold the left brake handle suddenly in case
of rider’s forward lean and injuries.
7.5 Replacement of Brake Steel Wire
Loosen the wire clip of the brake caliper, take out the old steel wire
from pipe shroud, embed new steel wire, thread the hole of brake caliber,
and then, insert wire clip, at last, adjust the tightness.
7.6 Check rim and braking system
Before using the electric vehicle, check the following proceedings:
The function of left brake lever and right brake lever. If damages
(wear) appear on brake blocks or steel wires, replace them
immediately.
Keep rim clean and there should be no oil contamination on the

- 18 -
surface of braking device to avoid the danger brought by brake
failure.
Use appropriate degreaser cleaning the surface of braking device
regularly.
Check if the condition of rim is satisfactory by visual.
Note: the braking distance on wet roads is 40% longer than that on dry
pavement.
The braking distance on dry pavement is 10m.
The braking distance on wet roads is 14m.
7.7 Cleaning and Maintenance of Bicycle
Scrubbing the bicycle with wet cloth and use it until the bicycle is
naturally dry. Never wash it with water to avoid the damage of electronic
components. The bicycle should be parked in dry places to avoid
damages caused by bad weather.

8Tightening Torque
For safe riding, it is advised the tightening torque of all parts of the
bicycle should meet the following criteria:
·Handlebars/Stem 15Nm
Saddle 15Nm
Saddle Post 10Nm
Front wheel 35Nm
Rear wheel 35Nm
