2. Safety
2.1 Safe Use of the E-bike
1) You need to check the traffic rules and regulations in your area, including but not limited to
regulations about bicycle lighting, licensing of e-bikes, riding on sidewalks, laws regulating bike
path and trail use, helmet laws, child carrier laws, special e-bike traffic laws. It is your
responsibility to know and obey the laws.
2) Always wear a helmet when riding your e-bike. Ensure that the helmet fits your head and is
securely tightened down. If you attach a seat for children to the e-bike, they must also be
wearing a properly fitted helmet at all times.
Always read the user manual of the helmet to make sure it is fitted and attached properly to the
wearer’s head according to the fitting instructions described in the user manual.
Warning: Failure to wear a helmet when riding may result in serious injury or death.
3) Before using the e-bike on the road, ride the e-bike in a secure area to get familiarised with
riding the e-bike with electric pedalling assistance and its functionalities.
• Conduct mechanical and electrical checks following the pre-riding checklist in Section 4 of
this manual to ensure the e-bike is safe to use.
• This bicycle is made to be ridden by one rider at a time for general transportation and
recreational use. It is not made to withstand the abuse of stunting and jumping.
• Wet weather impairs traction, braking and visibility. The risk of an accident is dramatically
increased in wet conditions. Ride slowly with caution, especially when turning.
• Riding a bicycle at night is much more dangerous than riding during the day. It is
recommended to not ride at night if possible. If you indeed to ride at night, you need to
install a tail light on the e-bike and ensure it has sufficient battery power. Ride at slow
speed. Do turn on the head light, and tail light when riding at night. It is recommended for
the riders to use additional night lighting system such as flashing light on helmet, adding
additional reflectors on the e-bikes on all facets.
Warning: Keep both hands on the grips on the handlebar and the brake levers within
reach while riding. Failing to do so can cause you to lose control over the e-bike, and
may cause serious injury or death.

4
Warning: Never exceed the maximum permissible load of the e-bike. Failing to do so
may result in structural failure, and cause serious injury or death.
Warning: When pushing the e-bike on pedestrian pathways, the rider needs to turn
off the power to avoid any accidental activation of the electric motor, which may
result in injury to you or other pedestrians.
2.2 Battery and Charger Safety
• Keep the battery & charger away from water, open window, and open fire.
• Do not use the battery & charger for other purposes other than powering the e-bike.
• Only use the original charger to charge the Snapcycle e-bike battery.
• Do not connect terminals.
• Do not open the battery casing.
• Do not attempt to repair the battery unless you are a specially trained and licensed
technician.
• Keep the battery away from children and pets.
• Avoid shock and impact to the battery & charger (e.g. by dropping, smashing ).
• Stop the charging procedure immediately if you notice a strange smell or smoke.
• In the unlikely case that the battery is on fire, do NOT try to extinguish with water. Use
sand or Carbon dioxide extinguisher instead and call emergency hotline immediately.
Warning: Water may cause the short circuit to the battery, may result in fire and
other consequences. Avoid water when using or handling batteries
2.3 Changing Components or Adding Accessories
• Changing the components on your e-bike with non-genuine replacement parts may
compromise the safety of your e-bike and may void the warranty. Check with Snapcycle
customer service before changing the components on your bike
• Please take note that the use of a third-party trailer may cause extra load stress on your
e-bike, which may affect the safe use of your e-bike. Do not modify any original parts of
the e-bike to accommodate a third-party trailer. Do not exceed the total permissible load
weight of the e-bike as stated elsewhere in this user manual.
• Please note that the use of a child seat can cause extra load stress on your e-bike, which
may affect the safe use of your e-bike. Do not modify any original parts of the e-bike to
accommodate a third-party child seat. Do not exceed the total permissible load weight of
the e-bike as stated elsewhere in this user manual. If a child seat is used, there is a risk of
trapping the child’s fingers or feet into the wheel. Please take appropriate steps to prevent
the trapping of the child’s fingers or feet. Always follow the child seat manufacturer’s
instructions for installation, usage and safety.

4.3 First Ride
For your first ride,
1. You need to fully charge your battery before use. Charge it until the LED on your charger
turns green.
2. Ensure the battery key is in LOCKED position
3. Press and hold the power button on the display control pad located on the left handlebar
until the display turns on
4. Select your preferred level of pedal-assist using the +(UP) and –(DOWN) button on the
display control pad, with Level 1 being the lowest , and Level 5 being the highest. Level 0
provides no assistance to the rider.
5. You will find a half-twist throttle on the right handlebar next to the right handlebar grip.
Twist the throttle backwards slowly depending on the speed and acceleration you wish to
have. The further you twist the throttle from its original position, the more power you will
have from the motor propelling the ebike forward. Your throttle control will be disabled if
your PAS level is at 0. You need to increase the PAS level to 1 or above in order to activate
your throttle control.
6. To turn on the headlight and taillight, press and hold the UP button to turn them on. To turn
them off, press and hold the UP button again.
When you close any of the brake levers, the rear brake light will be lit.

button on the display control pad until the LCD display turns off. This is to ensure that the
motor will not be accidentally activated.

accidentally twist the throttle, which may throw you off balance and cause serious harm,
injury or death.
