the charger will be red / orange when battery is charging and will turn green when
fully charged.
Avoid subjecting the battery to high temperatures, such as directly under the sun,
for prolonged periods of time. Recharge the battery before it becomes completely
discharged. Completely discharging will reduce the numbers of recharging cycles
during the battery’s life and limit the capacity. Never store the battery in a dis-
charged state. After much use, your battery’s charge-holding capacity will decrease.

Gears
is for easier and uphill pedaling, and the last gear is for
maximum speed on level or downhill terrain. Change
gears only while pedaling. The rear wheel contains seven
chain sprockets. When the chain is around the largest
sprocket, you are in 1st gear, or the lowest gear. The high
gear will have the derailleur positioned so that the chain is
directed around the smallest gear.
Every position on the gear selector should cause a gear change. Adjustments require
to the last gear or vice versa. If you change multiple
gears too quickly, you could have the chain come off
the front sprocket.
The fuse is designed to protect the battery. If the fuse blows,
there will be no power to any of the electrical components
powered by the battery. You can replace the fuse with a stan-
dard automotive 40 amp fuse or contact Pedego customer
The fuse is located on the bottom of the battery, between the
charging port and the On/Off switch (Figure 7).
The fuse is located on the end cap opposite of the key slot
where you turn the battery on and off (Figure 8).

Your Pedego is equipped with disc brakes for
maximum reliability. Applying hand pressure
to the brake levers will cause the wheel brake
to cause friction against the brake disc, slowing
the wheel. The more hand pressure applied
to the brake lever, the faster the Pedego will
come to a stop. The rear brake should always
be applied before and while the front brake is applied. Applying only the front brake
to slow or stop at high speeds may result in the rider being ejected from the saddle
and continuing forward over the handlebars. It is best to apply even pressure to both
brake levers when slowing or stopping.
Bicycles equipped with disc brakes will occasionally make a slight scraping noise
when the wheels are turning without the brakes being applied. This is normal.
Make sure that the brake lever does not contact the handle bar when full hand
pressure is applied (Figure 10). If so, then the brakes must be adjusted by
increasing the tension on the cable.
A quick adjustment may be made by screwing or unscrewing the threaded barrel
Figure 9). If
the brakes are still not operating correctly, they may require further adjustment by
an experienced bicycle mechanic.
WARNING:
Disc brake rotors become hot during use. Do not touch or come in contact with
the disc rotor shortly after use.
Wet weather will require a longer distance to stop. Brake earlier and avoid sud-
den stops when riding in wet conditions.
