Attention
Do not operate this electric bike without fully reading and understanding its opera-•
tion and limitations.
Before riding each time ensure that all parts are in good order. For any questions
•
or concerns, please contact your Authorised Dealer’s Customer Service.
Ensure you observe traffic rules and regulations when using this electric bike. Pas-
•
sengers cannot be carried. When riding in rain, snow or slippery conditions reduce
your speed and increase the distance between yourself and other vehicles.
We advise against performing maintenance operations that involve removing parts
•
or components. If necessary, please contact your Authorised Dealer’s Customer
Service.
Do not ride through deep puddles. Water could enter the hub motor, causing short
•
circuits and irreparable damage.
The two metallic contacts located on the battery box are the positive and negative
•
battery terminals. Avoid touching them, especially with wet hands, and do not use
metal objects to connect them, in order to avoid high-current electric discharge
that could cause severe burns, electric shocks or damage to the batteries.
Do not allow individuals who are unfamiliar with the features and functions of this
•
e-bike to operate it without proper instruction.
Do not modify the e-bike by yourself.
•
1. Check before use
Is the tyre pressure [3.4 - 5.1 bar] correct?•
Is the batteries sufficiently charged?•
Are the handlebar attachment and saddle post correctly inserted and tightened?•
Are the wheel hub mounting nuts correctly tightened?•
Is the bell working correctly?•

according to load, road conditions, wind direction, temperature, braking and restarts,
tyre pressure and prompt battery charging. To obtain the maximum travel distance, we
suggest you check all factors within your control, including overloading, driving style,
tyre pressure and timely battery charging.

3.5.2 Adjusting the Derailleur
Adjust the lower bolt to make the guide wheel move to the free-wheel; align the•
centre of the guide wheel and the outer line of the smallest sprocket.
Turning the front chain-wheel, operate the gear lever to shift to the lowest gear,
•
then tighten the derailleur cable and fix it by the derailleur cable nut.
Turn the low adjustment screw so that the guide pulley moves to a position direct-
•
ly below the largest sprocket.
Tighten the adjust nut when the real gear is lower than the gear shift shows;
•
loosen the adjust nut when the rear gear is upper than the gear shift shows. It is
OK when the gear changes correctly and smoothly.
