Pedego Electric Bikes
Welcome to thePOG
First of all, we would like to thank you for choosing the Pedego electric bike.
We believe this technology, with the benets of electric propulsion,
provides you with the perfect vehicle to increase your personal mobility.
Our geared, brushless, electric hub motor allows you to run errands
or commute to work while saving money on gas and reducing your
environmental impact on our world. It also gives you the opportunity
to pedal if you want to get exercise along the way.
All this and it is just plain fun to ride!
If you have any concerns, questions or suggestions about the Pedego electric
bike, please contact us at [email protected]. Again, thanks for choosing
Pedego!
PLEASE NOTE:
This manual is not intended as a detailed user, service, repair or maintenance manual.
Please seek assistance from a qualied technician for service, repairs or maintenance.

6. Insert the handlebar stem into the head tube on the bicycle. You may adjust
the height of the handlebars by moving the stem up or down to your comfort
level. Make sure the handlebars are aligned with the front wheel before tight-
ening and that the stem is not set above the maximum height indicator. Place
your thumb on the black locking mechanism on top of the stem, push down
and lift the lever up exposing the adjustment screws.

Your bike has been pre-assembled and requires only a few simple steps to
get it ready for you to ride:
1. Cut the nylon bands and open the box.
2. Remove all the loose contents including the front wheel.
3. Lift the bike out the box or tilt the box on its end so the rear wheel is on the
oor and roll the bike out then rest the bike in place with the kick stand down.
4. Locate and set a side the kit box containing the battery charger and tool kit.
5. Install the front wheel by aligning the brake and fork and tightening the axle
nuts with the 15mm wrench provided with your kit. Make sure that the hooked
washers are on the outside of the fork and are properly secured.

Move the stem so that you can see directly down the hole (Figure 1). Insert
the 6 mm allen wrench, supplied in the kit, into the hole and tighten the screw
clockwise until the handlebars do not move separately from the front wheel
(Figure 3).
In order to get the bolt securely tighten you may need to use a pair of plyers for
leverage (Figure 4).
Position the handlebars to your comfort level and lock handlebars into place
by pushing the handle back down. If handlebars move up or down after
pushing handle down, you can tighten the screw indicated in gure 2 with a
5 mm allen wrench in your kit.

The angle of the handlebars may be positioned to your personal preference.
Loosen the front 2 bolts on the front stem plate and angle the handlebars to your
liking, then securely tighten the 2 bolts on the front stem plate. Make sure that,
when tightening, there is even spacing between the top and bottom bolts to ensure
maximum stability.

6. Make sure the seat is tight enough so
that you can’t twist it out of alignment. Pull
the seat clamp handle away from the seat
post and slide the seat up or down to adjust
it. Move the clamp handle inward toward
the seat post so it is held tight by the clamp.
If necessary, tighten the clamp by twisting
the clamp handle clockwise while in the un-
clamped position. Then, fold the handle in
toward the seat post. This should require a
fair amount of force to ensure the seat post
is held tight. If necessary, the clamp can be
further tightened with an allen key when in
the clamped position. Make sure the seat
is not set with the vertical maximum height
marks above the clamp.
7. PLEASE NOTE – The pedals are marked
“L” for Left and “R” for Right. Using the
wrench provided in the tool kit, attach and
tighten the pedals. The left pedal is at-
tached by turning it counterclockwise and
the right pedal is tightened by turning it
clockwise.

Always wear an approved helmet while riding your Pedego and follow the helmet
manufacturer’s instructions for t, use and care of your helmet. It is your respon-
sibility to familiarize yourself with the laws of where you ride your Pedego and to
comply with all applicable laws.

Check the condition of your Pedego before every ride. Make sure no nuts, bolts
or xings are loose, with particular attention to the axle nuts and handlebar stem.
Make sure the tyres are correctly inated with 30 psi minimum to 65 psi maxi-
mum air pressure. Check the brakes for proper operation.
You must take your bike in to be serviced and checked by a qualied bike me-
chanic before 100 miles of riding. This is a standard good practice for any new
bike as cables will stretch and components will ‘bed in’. The service must include
spoke tensioning for both front and rear wheels.

When you buckle on your helmet and go for your rst ride, be sure to pick an
area away from cars, other cyclists, obstacles or other hazards in order to be-
come familiar with the controls, features and performance of your new Pedego.

The Pedego bikes are designed for one passenger only. DO NOT carry any
additional passengers on the front or rear of the bike. The rear carrier is not de-
signed to carry the weight of any additional passengers, including baby carriers.

To be able to use the electric motor, the battery must be mounted by sliding the
fully charged battery forward into the battery holder.
The key locks the battery to the bike when the key is turned counterclockwise to
the locked position. The battery must be locked when riding or it may fall out. The
key does not have to be in to operate the bike.
The on/off switch is located on the bottom of battery. After inserting and locking
the battery into place, turn the battery on by ipping the switch to the “|” position.
Be sure to turn off the power when the Pedego is not in use or is recharging by
turning the battery on/off switch off.
You can ride it like a normal bike by leaving the switch in the off position.

Charging plug for 36 volt battery
City Commuter & Comfort Cruisers
Included with your new Pedego is a lithium ion battery, along with a charger,
which plugs into a standard household electric receptacle.
A lithium ion battery requires specially designed chargers. You should never
charge your battery with a substitute charger that is not designed for this use.
Use of an unsuitable charger to charge a lithium ion battery could result in over-
heating, re or even explosion.

The Pedego battery may be charged while
on the bike or removed and charged at a
location away from the Pedego in a dry
location. The battery is easily removed by
turning the key switch to the open position,
grasping the rear of the battery, and sliding
the battery to the rear of the Pedego.
To charge the battery, plug the charger
into an AC outlet. The LED indication light
should be green showing the charger is
working normally. Then plug the char-
ger into the charging port located on the
bottom of the battery by sliding open the
charger cover (Figure 6) and inserting the
plug.
