Safety Check Before First Use#
Please check the following components: handlebar, stem, pedals, crank, wheels. Ensure they are properly installed and
tightened. While some of the components are pre-assembled, it is still important to make sure every component is
tightened at the indicated torque value. Failing to notice a loose component may cause it to detach during use and lead to
serious injury.
•Wheels: A critical part of assembling your bike is securing the front and rear wheels and checking the tightness of
the wheel axle nuts. Properly installed wheels are essential to the safe use of the bike. #
•Tires: Both tires must be inflated as specified in the manual. Failing to do so will reduce performance, increase tire
wear, and compromise your safety.#
•Crank: Ensure the crank (pedal arm) is tightened at the indicated torque value. (required tools: 8mm hex key,
recommended torque 40-42 N.m)
•Brakes: Ensure brakes are working correctly and properly secured. When braking, apply the rear brake first, then the
front brake. If brakes are not correctly applied, they may lock up and you may lose control.#
It is recommended to perform the above safety checks every (200 - 300 km) / (120 - 180 miles) or if the bike is not used
for 3 weeks.#
For Your Safety
Users must become accustomed to the power controls before riding. It is highly recommended that you ride your new
bike in an open area and set the power assist level to “0”. Once you feel confident operating your bike, increase the
power assist gradually.#
Keeping your hands over the brake levers is good practice. The brake levers have motor inhibitors that will shut down
the motor power when applied. If for any reason you lose control, apply the brake levers immediately to shut down the
motor power. Do not try to stop your bike using your feet, as this may cause the user to lose balance.#
2
When walking or carrying your bike, turn off the power to avoid accidentally switching on the motor. If the motor is
accidentally switched on, immediately apply the brakes to cut off the power to the motor.
Throttle: The throttle mechanism allows partial or full motor power to be activated. Unfamiliarized users should be more
cautious when first pushing the throttle. The throttle function is deactivated when the pedal assist level is set to “0”.#
Pedal Assist (Cadence Sensor): The cadence sensor activates the motor when the crank is in motion and will cause the
bike to suddenly boost forward.#
Pedal Assist (Torque Sensor): The torque sensor activates the motor when pressure is applied to the pedals, causing
the bike a sudden forward movement.#
Maintenance
It is important to perform proper maintenance and often fine-tune your bike to ensure optimal performance and safe riding.
Regularly lubricate your chain, gear shifter, sprocket, and all moving parts.
Always check the condition of your bike before riding and make sure that it is well maintained. When in doubt, consult a
bicycle mechanic for assistance.!
Warning: If you do not have the experience, skill, or tools to complete maintenance or adjustment of your bike, it is highly
recommended to have a bicycle mechanic check your bike and ensure it is safe to ride.!

Liability Disclaimer
There are risks associated with the use of any bike over time which cannot be predicted or avoided and are the sole
responsibility of the rider. You are responsible for your own actions while using an electric bike. Rize Bikes is not
responsible nor liable for any accidents or injuries (whether caused by you or others) that may occur during your use. We
recommend contacting your insurance provider to determine if your current insurance policy would cover you in the

The right and left pedals are marked with an "R" or "L" on the end of the thread. The right pedal axle has a smooth
surface whereas the left pedal axle has grooves.!
The pedal and crank threads must line up easily. Ensure that you tighten the pedals with your hand first. It should be easy
for the first few turns. Do not force if tightening is hard. Stop immediately as the pedal thread is not aligned and continuing
to do so will damage the thread of the crank.
1. Apply a small amount of grease onto the pedal thread axle.
2. Insert the right pedal into the right crank. Carefully thread the pedal clockwise onto the crank by hand slowly and
then tighten.
3. Insert the left pedal into the left crank. Carefully thread the pedal counter-clockwise onto the crank by hand slowly

Cleaning:
•Clean your bike after a wet ride and store in a dry place to avoid rust and corrosion.
•Always remove the battery when cleaning or servicing your bike.#
•Clean the battery and the battery housing with a slightly damp rag if necessary. Do not spray with water as this may
damage the battery or cause a short circuit.!
Tips
•Regularly check the tires’ pressure and ensure that they are inflated with appropriate air volume. Recommended air
pressure is (40 PSI) for regular tires and (20 PSI) for fat tires. However, this may vary depending on riding conditions
and your weight.#
•Lube your chain frequently every 150 km. Use a special bike lube to maximize performance and get a smooth ride.
•Park your bike indoors during wet conditions. Just like a regular bike, it requires proper maintenance to ensure that all
electrical systems are working correctly, and to prevent your bike from becoming rusty and corroded.
•Avoid transporting your bike on a vehicle rack during rain, as this may allow water to infiltrate the electrical
components.
