Driving
Minimum saddle height and the way to measure
To adjust seat height, use quick release lever to free the seatpost and pull upwards or push downwards to reach
desired height.
Important tips while driving
1. In order to reduce consumption, increase autonomy, and extend the motors lifespan, use the pedals
during the startups and climbs.
2. Do not twist the throttle too fast. The vehicle should accelerate slowly, reducing consumption and risk of
damage to the electrical system. It’s better to use the pedals to avoid sudden stops and startups.
3. To increase security and reduce power consumption, is advised to avoid sudden stops and startups.
4. The vehicle controller has a charge overload protection. If on overload, energy will be cut automatically
and restored when it returns to normal.
5. While driving, avoid using the throttle as you brake, as it may damage the motor.
6. The maximum load is 100-120KGs. Avoid driving with overload. Do not drive too fast.
Important tips when parking
1. When pushing the vehicle manually, turn off the power to avoid accidental acceleration and accidents.
2. It is recommended to park indoors. Do not forget to switch off the power and remove the key.

Saving battery power and extending your range
Frequent braking and starting, riding uphill against a strong wind, starting from a standstill and riding on rough or
muddy roads, and carrying more than one person, or heavy loads will consume extra battery power and shorten
the range.
A few tips to prolong the battery life during these condition is as frequently.
1. Frequent Braking: try to look ahead and coast rather than stop and go frequently.
2. Riding uphill or against a stiff win: pedal to supliment the battery power.
3. When starting from a standstill: use the pedals to help bring you up to speed.
4. When the battery meter indicates the voltage is low, switch to manual power and avoid using the battery
so you don’t shorten the battery life.
5. If the battery is being stored, remove the battery from the bicycle and recharge it every month.
