Connect the charger to the battery port and then to a power outlet. The indicator on the charger will show charging status (usually red for charging, green for full). Charging time is approximately 5-6 hours.
8. Tire Inflation: Inflate both tires to the recommended pressure indicated on the tire sidewall.
9. Brake Check: Squeeze both brake levers to ensure they engage properly and bring the wheels to a stop. Adjust if necessary.
10. Pre-Ride Inspection: Before each ride, perform a quick check of all bolts, tire pressure, brakes, and lights.

Operating Instructions

Controls Overview

Powering On/Off

To power on the bicycle, press and hold the Power Button on the handlebar control panel. The LCD display will illuminate. To power off, press and hold the Power Button again.

LCD Display

The LCD display provides real-time information such as current speed, battery level, assist level, and trip distance. Refer to the detailed manual (if provided separately) for specific display functions and settings.

Ride Modes

• Pure Electric Mode: Use the throttle to propel the bike without pedaling.
• Electric Assisted Mode (PAS): The motor provides assistance as you pedal. You can adjust the level of assistance using the control panel.
• Pedal Mode: Ride the bicycle like a traditional bike, without any motor assistance.

Throttle Usage

The throttle is located on the right handlebar. Gently twist it towards you to engage the motor in pure electric mode or to boost power in pedal-assist mode. Release the throttle to reduce speed or stop motor assistance.

Gear Shifting

The Kickwey K7 features a Shimano 7-speed transmission system. Use the shifter on the right handlebar to change gears, allowing you to adapt to various terrains and riding conditions. Shift to lower gears for climbing hills and higher gears for flat roads or downhill riding.

Braking

The bicycle is equipped with reliable disc brakes. The left lever controls the rear brake, and the right lever controls the front brake. Apply both brakes smoothly and evenly for effective stopping power. Avoid sudden, hard braking, especially with the front brake, to prevent skidding.

Lights and Horn

Use the Lights Button on the handlebar to turn on/off the high-intensity LED headlight and rear light for visibility, especially in low-light conditions. The Horn Button activates the bicycle's horn for alerting others.

Riding on Various Terrains

The 20" x 4.0 fat tires and dual suspension system allow the K7 to easily handle diverse terrains. Adjust your speed and riding style according to the surface conditions. For off-road riding, ensure you have sufficient battery charge and are familiar with the terrain.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your electric bicycle.

Battery Care

• Charging: Always use the original charger. Do not overcharge or completely drain the battery. Charge in a well-ventilated area, away from flammable materials.
• Storage: If storing the bike for an extended period, charge the battery to 50-70% and store it in a cool, dry place. Recharge every 1-2 months to prevent deep discharge.
• Water Resistance: The battery is IPX5 waterproof, meaning it can withstand splashes but should not be submerged.

Tires

• Regularly check tire pressure and inflate to the recommended PSI (pounds per square inch) found on the tire sidewall.
• Inspect tires for wear, cuts, or punctures before each ride.

Brakes

• Periodically check brake pads for wear and replace them if necessary.
• Ensure brake levers are responsive and provide adequate stopping power. Adjust brake cable tension if the levers feel too loose or too tight.

Chain and Drivetrain

• Keep the chain clean and lubricated to ensure smooth gear changes and prevent rust.
• Inspect the chain and gears for any damage or excessive wear.

Suspension

• Check the front hydraulic suspension and comfortable rear absorber for proper function and any signs of leakage or damage.

General Cleaning

• Clean the bicycle regularly with a damp cloth. Avoid using high-pressure washers directly on electrical components.
• Do not use harsh chemicals that could damage the paint or plastic parts.
