Congratulations on purchasing Spark Bikes. You have chosen a bike that will give you
a superb riding experience. #
This manual will help you to install and keep your bike at its best shape ensuring that
you will enjoy every ride.
Warning
Before your first use, check that all components are properly installed and properly
functioning. Test ride your bike until you are confident that you are familiar with its power
modes, stopping function, and overall riding process. Neglecting to do so may cause
serious injury.
Spark Bikes recommends that you always wear a helmet for your own safety. Use front
and rear lights after sunset for increased visibility.
For your safety
!
If this is your first time riding an electric bike, it is highly recommended that you ride in
an open area and set your power assist level to low. Once you feel confident operating
your new bike, increase the power assist gradually. If for any reason you lost control,
apply the brake levers immediately to disconnect the motor power and stop the bike. Do
not try to stop your bike using your feet.
!
Caution
The pedal assist sensor is located on the pedal crank. It activates the motor when you
move the pedals and will cause a sudden burst forward. Keeping your hands over the
brake levers is good practice.
It is recommended that you perform regular maintenance and tune-ups to ensure that
your bike always performs well. Seek help of a professional bike mechanic whenever
required."
