RIDING OPTION
Opon 1: Regular pedaling--tradional way to ride a bicycle.
Opon 2: Pedal assist is a mode that provides power only when you are pedaling. If you are
accustomed to riding a tradional bike, the pedal assist mode has a more intuive feel compared
to the throle mode. The pedal assist mode is also nice because you can focus purely on your
Always pull the the brakes and hold the handlebar rm and straight
before taking oin order to make sure you keep control of the bike when
power assistance is in acon! NOTE that power assistance is triggered o
IMMEDIATELY as soon as the foot slightly presses on the pedal.
Do not at any me dismantle or disassemble any of the above e-bike.

pedaling and you don’t have to hold the throle in a certain posion. Since you have to pedal,
the pedal assist mode will generally give you more range when compared to the throle mode.
The cadence sensor pedal assist systems provide assistance when the cranks of the bike are
turning. The cadence sensor will provide the assist based purely on the level assist you have
selected and it will not increase or decrease the assist based on your actual pedal power.
You could be pedaling very lightly or very hard and it will provide the same level of assist.
Our pedal assist bikes have dierent levels of assistance from 1-5 levels.
for example: level 1 as low speed assist / level 3 as medium pedal assist / level 5 as high
pedal assist
Low pedal assist: Low assist provides a small electric assist while you provide more
pedal power and get more of a workout.
Medium pedal assist: You have a nice tailwind everywhere you go. Medium pedal assist can
be a nice balance of your pedal power and the motor power.
High pedal assist: High pedal assist is when you want to get somewhere quickly and with
minimal eort.

BRAKE
The brakes on an electric bike are the same as on a normal bike, with one excepon: most have
integrated cutoswitches which kill the motor when acvated. These “inhibitor” switches are a
safety feature designed to prevent the motor from accidentally engaging and causing injury. If for
any reason you need the motor to stop turning, remember to simply squeeze one of the brake
levers.
BATTERY AND CHARGER
Baery safety notes
Before riding the e-bike, please read the here following notes in order to make best use of the
baery. Although the baery is charged about 50 % when the bikes leaves the factory, it needs to
be charged for a min.me of 12 h before its rst use.
Please make sure the baery is well protected, and that it is never exposed to humidity.Before
connecng the charger and baery, please ensure that the input voltage corresponds to the one
indicated on the charger (100 ~ 240V).
Although the baery is constructed for over 800 charging cycles, its life-span can be opmized if
it is kept in an environment with a temperature between +10°C and + 30°C.
Please note that the temperature of the baery will rise when running in HIGH assistance mode
Baery and charger are tuned. Always use the charger which has been
supplied with the bike. Never use another one!
You should check the operaon of your brake inhibitor switches before
every ride. While riding slowly in a controlled environment (like a
driveway), engage the motor, then squeeze each brake in turn. The motor
should lose power immediately and remain oas long as a brake lever is
depressed.

9
over a longer me period. Therefore, before charging the baery, please let it cool down to room
temperature, if necessary.
If your baeries are stored for a long period of me (longer than two months):
Charge your baeries every 90 days to avoid capacity loss. Baery life slowly shortens when le
unused for a long period of me. If the baery cells are leto reach a crically low voltage, their
lifespan and capacity will be permanently reduced.
Always disconnect your charger from the wall outlet and baery before storing the baery.
Do not store your baeries in extreme hot or cold temperatures.
Charger funcon
Please use only the original charger which was supplied with the e-bike!
Keep the baery out of reach for children.
Never try to open the baery. Apart from this being dangerous all
warranty will be void.
Do not provoke a shortcut circuit with metal gadgets.
Do not dip the baery in water or any other liquid.
Do not keep the baery close to heat or open re.
A baery needs to be recycled aer use,never throw it in an open re as
it could explode.
If the baery is damaged because it has been dropped somewhere or
because of a biking accident, there might be a risk of elektrolytes
leakage Beware of chemical burns!

This charger is specially made for the Lithium baery.
The LED light indicates the baery status as shown on the table below:

BICYCLE INSPECTION
Before riding your bicycle, always do an inspecon to make sure all parts are adjusted and
working properly. The frame and components are designed to be used in a responsible manner
on streets, trails, or grassy areas. Our bicycles are not designed for racing, mountain biking,
jumping, stunt riding, riding with more than one rider, riding with heavy loads, or any extreme
type of riding or nonstandard use and the warranty will not cover any of the above riding types.
You are responsible for checking your bike before each ride and on a regular basis to make sure
that the frame and parts are not cracked, loose, or broken and are working in a proper fashion.
Failure to inspect your bike could lead to damage to your bike or severe injury or even death. If
you choose not to inspect your bike and breakage or failure occurs, you are responsible and not
our Bicycles or the dealer you purchased your bike from. Be responsible and safe - check your
bike before each ride.
If you see something you are uncertain about, take your bicycle to your local bicycle dealer.
General Inspecon
- Check for loose parts by raising your bicycle about 3” othe ground and dropping it on the
res.
- Make sure ALL quick release mechanisms are locked and ght.
- Make sure wheels, fork, headset, and seat post are ght.
- Check frame/welds for cracks and bends. Immediately replace a damaged frame as this can
cause a crash and lead to a severe injury. Take immediately to your local bicycle dealer.
Quick Release Levers
Quick release levers are used on both wheels, the seat post, and the back rest. Quick release
levers can be replaced with bolts if you are concerned about theor having your seng
changed. It is important that all quick release/bolts are ght.

12
- The quick release lever should never be ghtened like a nut.
- To ghten, open the quick release lever, turn the adjusng nut clockwise and then close the
quick release lever by pushing it in.
- If the lever can be easily pushed closed repeat above step unl it takes a rm push to close it.
Wheels and Tires
- Spin wheels to make sure they are centered (tracking in a straight line) and do not wobble.
- Check for loose or missing spokes. See your local dealer if you have one.
- Check front and rear wheel quick release levers every me you ride. Pick up end of bike and
strike top of wheel with a few sharp blows to check for looseness.
- Make sure res are properly inated to pressure listed on sidewall. Tires can lose up to 10
pounds of air per week. Never ride with under inated res.
- Although Day 6 bicycles are designed with large, 26” res for a smooth ride, if possible, avoid
stairs, curbs, potholes, railroad tracks, and other hazards.
Brakes and Pads
- While rolling slowly, squeeze brake levers. Bike should stop quickly and levers should not touch
handlebars. Since brake cables stretch, it may be necessary to adjust cables periodically. See you
local dealer for this.
- Make sure pads are aligned correctly on rims.
- Replace worn or hardened pads.
Chain and Derailleur
- Look for wear on chain or links that don’t swivel easily.
- If chain comes ochain ring, have your local dealer adjust derailleur.
It is important that you keep your bicycle clean - especially the moving parts (chain, derailleur,
gears, etc.) since grit and dirt can damage these and shorten their useful life. If you are riding
connually, it is best to wash your bike monthly.

BICYCLE CLEANING
13
Cleaning the frame:
1. To remove dirt, wash lightly with a hose. (Never use a pressure washer or take to a car wash as
water can penetrate the bearings.)
2. Use warm soapy water and a SOFT brush to nish cleaning. (Never wipe the dirt with a rag as
the dirt will scratch your bike’s paint.)
3. Lightly rinse with hose.
NOTE: Do not store your bicycle in direct sunlight.
Cleaning greasy chains and drive train components:
1. Apply a degreaser and allow it to soak for 10 minutes.
2. Scrub greasy area with an old brush.
3. Lightly rinse with a hose.
LUBRICATION
Proper lubricaon of moving parts means a longer life for the components of your bicycle. The
chain, in parcular, needs to be inspected frequently. Be sure to use lubricants especially
designed for bicycles. Never over-lubricate and be sure to wipe oany excess as this will aract
dirt.
1. Chain: Lubricate using bicycle chain lube every week, more oen during wet condions. It is
best to do this in the evening so the lubricant has a chance to soak into the chain before riding
again.
2. Derailleur: Oil pivot points each month.
3. Hubs, boom bracket bearings, cables, and pedals: It is recommended that you lubricate these
items every 6 months.
RIDING RULES
1. Always wear a helmet - most serious cycling accidents involve the head.
