Safety Notes
1.1
Personal Safety:
It is the owner’s/rider’s responsibility to properly assemble the ebike and inspect all components and ensure
all nuts and bolts are tightened for safety or to trust a qualified 3rd party to do so. This is critical for safety
on this ebike.
Do not operate the bike until you have read and understand all sections of the entire manual. There are
important safety warnings throughout the whole manual that must be followed to prevent dangerous
situations, accidents, and possibly injury and/or death.
This ebike is only intended for use on paved roads or designated ebike paths. Using the ebike for any other
purpose may result in serious injury. Before you ride this ebike, practice riding in a safe area free of hazard
and take time to learn the ebike’s controls and power.
Have maintenance/repairs done by a qualified bicycle mechanic.
Never use/ride any Ride1Up bike product in ways precluded by the manufacturer and the laws of your state
and local municipality. It is your responsibility to comply the laws in which you are operating the ebike. Laws
vary depending on location in which you operate the bike. Failure to do so could cause death, serious
personal injury, property damage and/or a violation of the law.
Obey all rules of the road and local traffic laws. Respect motorists, pedestrians, and other cyclists.
At night, when visibility is low, your ebike MUST have white front lights and red rear lights lit. It MUST also
be fitted with a red rear reflector and amber pedal reflectors. Use caution when loading your ebike into a car
or when mounting it on a bicycle carrier. You must avoid damaging the wires of the electrical components
during riding, transporting, and storing your electric bike. Failure to do so could cause death, serious
personal injury, property damage and/or a violation of the law.
The top speed of this bike is 28mph in ‘Boost’ mode. Speed laws vary depending on location in which you
operate the bike. All riders ride at their own risk. It is your responsibility to comply with the rules, laws and
regulations in which you are operating the ebike. Failure to do so could cause death, serious personal injury,
property damage and/or violation of the law.
1.2
Ebike Safety:
You must be eighteen (18) years old or over to ride this ebike. Your ebike is designed for a maximum
permitted overall weight (rider + cargo) of 300 lbs. Do not exceed carrying capacity as this may compromise
the integrity of the bike and could cause death, serious personal injury, and/or property damage. Your bike

6

not stopping the bike etc. please stop using your ebike immediately and contact our Customer Support
Department or review our Support Library for troubleshooting steps.
1.3
Electrical
Safety:
Only usethe charger supplied by Ride1Up and never tamper or modify the charger in any way. Do not
leave the ebike or battery plugged into a wall outlet unattended. Unplug the battery before leaving the bike
alone. The charger has been designed for a specific voltage and should not be tampered with in any way.
Always check that the outlet’s voltage is the same as that stated on the rating label. A charger that is suitable
for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack; never use the
charger with another ebike or attempt to charge this product with a different charger than provided.
Before use, check the charger cord for signs of damage such as exposed wires or tears in the cable lining.
A damaged or entangled charger cord increases the risk of fire and electric shock. Keep the charger cord
at least 6ft away from hot surfaces and sharp edges. Do not handle the charger with wet hands as it could
cause death, serious personal injury, and/or property damage. Do not store or charge the ebike outdoors.
The charger must be removed from the socket before removing the battery, cleaning or maintaining the
ebike because this creates potential for electrical damage and/or injuries.
1.4
Brake
Safety:
Regularly check your brakes for signs of wear and tear and functionality such as a reduction in
breaking power. Before every ride, quickly test your brakes by walking next to the ebike and engaging the
brakes assuring they are properly working. Visibly check your brakes to ensure there is no damage such as
cracks and breaks. Failure to do so could cause death, serious personal injury, and/or property damage.
Any worn parts must be repaired or replaced immediately. Be careful while getting used to the brakes. Never
brake with only your front brake. Practice emergency stops in a place clear of traffic until you are comfortable
controlling your ebike. Wet weather reduces your braking power and the grip of the brakes. Reduce your
speed and be aware of longer stopping distances when cycling in wet conditions. Braking on unpaved
surfaces will differ. Be sure to practice braking on different surface types. Ensure that braking

7
For the most up to date documents, bike models, additional information, instructional videos,
And more visit us at Ride1Up.com
surfaces and brake pads are free of wax, grease and oil. Do not pedal and brake at the same time as this
will cause excessive wear.
1.5
Maintenance:
Make sure all screws, nuts and bolts are tightened securely before riding. Failure to do so could cause
death, serious personal injury, and/or property damage. Many parts on your ebike are subject to a higher
degree of wear due to their function and depending on their use such as brakes, tires, pedals etc. Have your
ebike checked regularly at a professional bike shop and have any worn parts replaced. Depending on the
level and extent of use, regularly can mean as much as once a week, and as little as twice a year. It is the
rider’s/owner’s responsibility to ensure the ebike is safeto ride at alltimes.
Ensure the battery is removed from the bike before carrying out any maintenance. You must always use
genuine replacement parts when performing maintenance on your ebike. Regularly check the tire pressures
(See sidewall of your tire for correct psi range) and regularly check the tread depth of tires.
After an accident or crash you must take your ebike to a bike repair specialist to make sure that it is
safe to ride. Be aware that damage may not be visible. Failure to do so could cause death, serious personal
injury, property damage and/or a violation of the law.
Any form of crack, scratches or change of coloring in highly stressed areas indicate that the life expectancy
of the part has been reached and it should be replaced immediately.
1.6
Additional
Warnings:
Routine maintenance checks are required on your ebike. Check all important connections, brake
functionality, and ensure axle nuts are secured before riding. Failure to do so could cause death, serious
personal injury, and/or property damage.
It is recommended to not ride at night when visibility conditions are low if avoidable. Riding in the dark or
low visibility conditions is more dangerous than riding during the day with clear visibility. Do not ride your
bike at night without properly functioning front head lights and rear taillights. Wear reflective and light-
colored clothing. Failure to do so may result in serious injury and/or death.
The ebike is intended for use by those at least eighteen years of age. Use by anyone below the age of
eighteen is prohibited. Riders must have the physical condition, reaction time, and mental capacity to ride
safely and manage traffic, road conditions, sudden situations, and respect the laws governing electric bike
use where they are riding. If you have an impairment or disability such as a visual impairment, hearing
impairment, physical impairment, cognitive/language impairment, or a seizure disorder, consult your
physician before riding any bike.

Have installation/assembly checked by a professional bike mechanic or completed entirely by a bike
mechanic prior to riding. All bolts and nuts should be checked. Failure to do so could result in serious injury
and/or death.
When operating your ebike: Do not wear earplugs, headphones, headsets, or use a cell phone while
riding. Never hitch rides on other vehicles. Never hold an item which interferes with your grip on the
handlebars and never be under the influence of alcohol or drugs while riding.
ALWAYS wear a helmet when riding your ebike. Wear appropriate shoes, eye protection, and avoid
loose clothing. Wear reflective clothing and gear when visibility is diminished. Failure to do so may result in
serious injury and/or death.
1.6
Additional
Warnings
(Continued):
It is your obligation to check all applicable laws for bicycle rules governing operation, equipment, use and
appropriate places for operation. Do not exceed local speed restrictions. Maintain your brakes such that you
can at least execute a one-braked-wheel skid on dry, level, clean pavement.
Never configure your ebike such that the handlebars are higher than a rider's shoulders because this will
reduce the rider’s ability to steer and control the ebike. In addition to front and rear reflectors, you must also
ensure that the ebike is equipped with side reflectors. Never ride your ebike without the seat provided with
the ebike.
This ebike is not meant for downhill riding, rocky trails or aerial maneuvers.
Do not ride your ebike in unsafe weather conditions or when the road surface is comprised with ice,
snow, water, sand, loose gravel or anything else that could cause a loss of traction. Failure to follow this rule
may result in serious injury and/or death.
It is recommended to not ride in wet weather. Wet weather impairs visibility, braking and traction of the ebike
and affects others sharing the road. Accidents increase in wet weather conditions.
Keep your ebike and packaging materials such as plastics, foam, and cardboard away from children.
Lithium-Ion batteries can be extremely dangerous if stored or used improperly. Please learn proper
care of your battery at http://batteryuniversity.com/. Damage to your lithium battery from misuse could
result in serious injury, hazardous smoke and fires, and/or death. Do not ride if the battery pack is visibly
damaged.

•Do not touch the brake pads or rotors with your fingers. The oil will contaminate them and cause
noises when braking.
•Align the disc rotor so it fits between the brake pads. Do not force it. (Figure 1)
•Place the front wheel axle onto the fork dropouts. (Figure 2)
•Install the quick release skewer. The narrow part of the cone springs should face inward. (Figure 3)
•Rotate to tighten and then hand tighten the axle skewer quick release arm. Line up the disc rotor to
make sure there is space on each side, so they don’t rub. Then make sure the wheel is secure.
(Figure 4)
WARNING ◆IT IS VITAL THAT THE QUICK RELEASE HAVE BEEN TIGHTENED. IF THEY ARE NOT PROPERLY
ALIGNED, THE WHEEL MAY COME OFF, CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY AND/OR DEATH.

3.4
Pedal Assembly:
NOTE: ◆THE LEFT AND RIGHT PEDALS ARE UNIQUE.
•The left pedal (marked “L”) must be installed in the left crank arm. It is reverse thread, rotate
counterclockwise to install and tighten.
•Screw each pedal into a crank by hand. They should screw in easily to start. Do not force them.
•The right pedal (marked “R”) must be installed in the right crank arm. It is standard thread, rotate
clockwise to install and tighten.
•Use a wrench no wider than the flats on pedals to finish tightening the pedals in place.
NOTE: ◆ THERE ARE TWO PEDALS INCLUDED IN THE BOX WITH YOUR BIKE. THE PEDALS SCREW INTO
THE ENDS OF THE CRANKS WITHOUT EXTRA NUTS, SCREWS OR PINS. FAILURE TO USE THE CORRECT
PEDAL ON THE CORRECT SIDE WILL RESULT IN A STRIPPED CRANK ARM.
3.5
Air Fork Operation:
The top left of the fork crown is the air valve. Use a shock pump to reach the desired amount of stiffness or
sag. DO NOT USE A BICYCLE TIRE PUMP. You may damage the air fork. The acceptable PSI range is from
40-120 PSI based on rider weight and preference. For more information, please check our support page at
www.Ride1Up.com
The dial on the top right is a lockout. Turning this to the locked position will lock the fork from compressing
and in this mode, it acts as a rigid fork. This is for climbing hills or riding on smoother roads.
3.6
Detailed Torque Settings:
•Saddle Clamp Bolts: refer to torque specs on seat post.
•Crank Arms: 39nm (pre-installed).
•Handlebar Clamp: Refer to torque specs on stem. Tighten evenly in a cross pattern so the gap at
each bolt is the same.

3.7
Adjust Derailleur and Shifter (Non-Belt Version):
Rear derailleurs have 3 adjustment screws (2 are the high and low limit screw), plus the barrel adjuster at
the derailleur and the barrel adjuster on the handlebars
It is critical that the low and high limit screws are properly adjusted. If they are not, the chain may come of
the largest cog, into the spokes and cause permanent damage to your derailleur, derailleur hanger, motor
cable, spokes, and rim. The motor is so powerful that if this happens it can quickly destroy or damage the
components mentioned.
Verify your shifter and derailleur are properly adjusted. When you first assemble your bike, your derailleur
may need to be tuned if you hear any noise while shifting or if it is not shifting smoothly. Or lastly, if the
chain is shifting past the largest or smallest cog.
Adjusting your derailleur properly will be done best by a mechanic, however it can be accomplished by
following a helpful video. Please check our support pages at www.Ride1Up.com for the latest tips and video
on how to do this properly.
It is normal to need to adjust your derailleur once again after logging some miles on the bike as things settle
(spring and cable tension involved in shifting).
3.8
Test and Adjust Front and Rear Brakes:
After Assembly, you must test your front and rear brake. You can then adjust them as needed. How you
install the front wheel and brake caliper can affect whether the disc brakes rub when first assembling. After
assembly, you may need to adjust the front and rear brake. Look in line with the brake pads and slowly
tighten the quick release axle while ensuring the rotor stays in the exact middle between the pads. The disc
rotor is one of the most exposed malleable components during shipping. If it is bent, it can sometimes be
trued (bent back) or replaced with a new disc rotor. If unsure how to properly adjust your brakes, please
check our website for a recommended video. If you are unable to access our website, you should take the
bike to your local bike shop for an assembly inspection and/or tune up. The bike shop will be able to inspect
the bike for safety and adjust your brakes.

Ebike Basics & Care
5.1
Ebike Basics:
Your Prodigy v2 ebike will arrive with an LCD display installed. The top button on the backside of the display
turns on and off the bike. Simply hold the button down.
•It is best practice, for safety, to only turn on your electric bike once you have lifted your leg over the
bike and are straddling the frame. You should turn it on before you begin riding, but only once you
are ready to ride.
•It is also best to turn off the bike when you are done riding after you dismount from the seat, but
before you lift your leg over the bike to get off. If you stop to look at something or talk with someone,
please turn off your bike for safety.
•Turning it on and off as described above will minimize the chance of the bike accelerating
unintentionally.
•The + button increases pedal assist and the –button decreases pedal assist and can be set to off
if you press the –button when on low.
•The headlight is turned on by holding Light Key on the bottom of the display.
•A quick backpedal or slight engagement of the brake lever instantly stops the motor. You can adjust
the sensitivity of the cadence sensor and other pedal assist settings by referring to the LCD manual.
We also have videos on our website and YouTube channel guiding you through this process.
NOTE:
◆
DO NOT CHARGE YOUR BATTERY WHEN THE BATTERY’S TEMPERATURE OR THE SPACE IT IS
STORED IN IS BELOW FREEZZING (32 DEGREES F).

17
For the most up to date documents, bike models, additional information, instructional videos,
And more visit us at Ride1Up.com
5.2
Battery Basics & Care:
NOTE: Never charge your battery when it’s temperature or the space it is stored in is below freezing. Failure
to follow this rule could result in serious injury, death, and property damage.
The chargers do stop charging when the battery is fully charged. When charging your battery, do not charge
near any potentially flammable material. Charge in a safe fire-resistant space. If you are storing the ebike
for more than a day, do not leave it plugged in. It is best toleave it charged to80% but unplugged. The button
on the top of the battery works as a charge gauge. It is not an on-off button. When riding always plug the
charger port with the rubber cover. If moisture gets in, the battery can bedestroyed. Everyoneis encouraged
to learn a little bit more about the basics of lithium-ion battery care and proper treatment. For extended life,
charge your battery to 80% and use it until it is at 20%. Depending on the charge level when plugged in, it
takes 3-6 hours for the battery to fully charge when using the standard charger supplied with the bike.
Charging for 1-2 hours will keep it near 80% depending on last usage. You can check the charge percentage
on the display. If storing for longer periods, it is a good idea to store your battery with a 40-80% charge.
Check the battery once a month. If the battery drops to 25%or lower, charge it up to 40-80%. Recommended
storage temperatures are 50°-77°F and will provide the best performance out of the battery. Storage should
be done in a dry area.
5.3
Battery Basics & Care:
(5.3.a) Fenders: If you are experiencing rubbing or rattling fenders, this can be fixed. Firstly, the front
fender tab that attaches to the fork can be mounted on the back to provide more spacing, or the front
for a tighter fit. The fender arms are also malleable and sometimes need to be bent with the wheel
off to be centered with the wheel.
(5.3.b) Bent Derailleur Hanger (Non-Belt Version): Before your first ride, it is very important to
check the alignment of the derailleur and derailleur hanger. If the derailleur hanger is bent inward,
your derailleur may over shift and the chain will get caught between the motor and the cog. Since
the derailleur is installed on the bike out of the box, the derailleur can become bent in transit. It is
a light-weight malleable aluminum. Bent derailleur hangers can be a relatively common issue
during the period of bike ownership, typically when they are impacted or while transporting the
bike. The derailleur hanger can be fixed by straightening the derailleur hanger with a tool. After the
hanger is straightened, the derailleur/gears can be indexed (under adjustments) to remove any
additional clicking or grinding noises. If you cannot fix the derailleur hanger, new ones can be found
online. Ride1Up will cover the cost to straighten your derailleur hanger or replace if necessary if it
arrived bent.
(5.3.c) Noise When Riding: Refer tothethree issues above. Gears, fenders, and brakes are themost
common sources of riding noise. Additionally, the front hub can sometimes make a squeaking noise
if it does not have enough grease. Pay attention to the noises. They are usually symptomatic of a
minor issue that could cause more problems later. It is best to determine what is causing the noise
and resolve the issue. If you are unsure of the cause, please review our support page at
www.Ride1Up.com. You can alsoshare a clear video without wind noise to [email protected].

Troubleshooting Problems:
6.1
Motor Not Working:
One of the worst problems to experience. What needs to be done? Determine the source, or cause of the
issue(s). What to look for:
(6.1.a) Display Settings: Perhaps a setting was accidentally changed. Try resetting the display by
conducting a factory reset. Review the display manual or display support page on
www.Ride1Up.com to reset the display. Steps to complete this procedure are listed on the last page
of this owner’s manual.
(6.1.b) Cables: is a connection loose? Look for kinked, loose, or damaged cables. Check the quick
disconnect connections, especially the one on the chain stay. Consider disconnecting them,
inspecting both ends, properly aligning (ensuring the pins are not bent) them and then carefully
plugging them back in.
(6.1.c) Accident: After a crash or if the bike is dropped, and the motor cable is damaged where it
exits the axle, the motor may no longer function. This requires replacement motor parts and a more
time consuming/costly repair. Reach out to customer support if you see damage to the cable.
6.2
Kickstand:
Does the bike sit too low with the kickstand? The kickstand length is adjustable. Loosen the bolt on the bike
and slide to the desirable length. Check the bolt tension when first assembling as well to make sure the bolt
does not rattle loose. Is there a clicking noise with the kickstand? Make sure it is parallel with the chainstay
and fully tightened (8mm hex wrench). If it shifts, it will hit the crank arm when pedaling.
6.3
Charger:
Green light indicates the charger is powered but not charging. Red light indicates charging. Do not charge
near anything flammable or store the ebike long-term while plugged in. If you are having issues with the
battery not charging, try riding the bike again, draining some battery, and try using a different outlet. Then
reach out to support if the issue does not resolve.
6.4
Derailleur/Gears (Non-Belt Version):
Adjusting the gears on a bike so that there is no chain noise can be tricky for a novice. If you are not able to
watch a video explaining how to index the gears, the best thing to do is to take the bike to a local bike shop
for assistance. It is critical that your derailleur is properly tuned/adjusted. If it is not, when shifting into 1st
gear the chain and derailleur may go into the wheel which will quickly damage it if the powerful motor is
running.

Battery Basics & Care:
NOTE: Never charge your battery when it’s temperature or the space it is stored in is below freezing. Failure
to follow this rule could result in serious injury, death, and property damage.
The chargers do stop charging when the battery is fully charged. When charging your battery, do not charge
near any potentially flammable material. Charge in a safe fire-resistant space. If you are storing the ebike
for more than a day, do not leave it plugged in. It is best toleave it charged to80% but unplugged. The button
on the top of the battery works as a charge gauge. It is not an on-off button. When riding always plug the
charger port with the rubber cover. If moisture gets in, the battery can be destroyed. Everyone is encouraged
to learn a little bit more about the basics of lithium ion battery care and proper treatment. For extended life,
charge your battery to 80% and use it until it is at 20%. Depending on the charge level when plugged in, it
takes 3-6 hours for the battery to fully charge when using the standard charger supplied with the bike.
Charging for 1-2 hours will keep it near 80% depending on last usage. You can check the charge percentage
on the display. If storing for periods longer periods (a week or more), it is a good idea to store your battery
witha 40-80%charge. Check the battery once a month. If thebattery drops to25% or lower, charge it upto
40-80%. Recommended storage temperatures are 50°-77°F and will provide the best performance out of the
battery. Storage should be done in a dry area.
