It is the rider's responsibility to obey all local, state, and municipal regulations concerning eBike use, including minimum age, driver's license, insurance, license plate, traffic, and maximum speed. Regulations may change at any time.

1.4 Intended Use

Your eBike is intended for general transportation or recreational use by one rider on paved surfaces or dedicated bicycle-only lanes. It is NOT INTENDED for off-road or mountain bicycle use or jumping. Suspension features are for comfort, not off-road capabilities. Your bicycle should not be used to tow another bicycle.

1.5 Helmets

5. Battery Information

5.1 Charging the Battery

WARNING! Fire and explosion hazards. Never leave your battery unattended while charging to prevent serious injury or death.

1. The battery can be charged either by removing it from the bike or while it is installed.
2. If charging while installed, remove the dust plug from the frame and insert the charging connector.
3. If charging after removal, directly insert the charging connector into the battery's charging port.
4. The charger's indicator light shows red while charging and green when fully charged.

You should fully charge the battery before your first ride.

DO NOT charge the battery unattended or leave the battery connected to the charger overnight.

Leaving the battery permanently connected to the charger is not recommended. A significantly reduced operating period after charging indicates the battery pack is worn out and must be replaced. You may replace it yourself by purchasing a replacement battery pack from PULUMA eBikes.

5.2 Battery Safety

PULUMA eBike batteries are lithium-ion batteries, developed and manufactured with the latest technology, complying with or exceeding safety standards. However, they contain high energy and require careful handling.

• Do not leave your battery unattended while charging.
• When removing the battery, unplug the rubber stopper on the charging point.
• Remove the battery from the bicycle when not in use and store in a secure location to prevent unauthorized use.
• Do not submerge the battery in liquid of any kind.
• Do not touch the terminals on your battery.
• Turn the display OFF when not in use and before removing the battery pack.
• Battery leakage may occur under extreme usage or temperature conditions. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. If contact occurs, wash quickly with soap and water. If liquid contacts your eyes, immediately flush with water for 15 minutes and seek medical attention.
• Only charge the battery using original PULUMA eBikes chargers.
• Use the battery only in conjunction with your PULUMA eBike.
• Keep the battery away from children.
• Always remove the key from the battery pack after each use to prevent unauthorized use.

5.3 Charge Safety

• Locate the charge port on the side of the battery.
• Do not connect the battery pack to the charger until it has reached an allowable charging temperature.
• Do not charge the battery with chargers other than the charger provided by PULUMA eBikes.
• Only charge the battery indoors and in dry spaces (within 10°F of room temperature).
• Ensure there are no flammable items, dirt, or debris nearby.
• The charger will automatically stop charging once the battery reaches its full capacity.
• The light on the charger will be red while charging and green when finished.
• Avoid leaving the charger plugged in when fully charged.
• Do not charge the battery if it is damaged, excessively hot, leaking, smells, or discolored.
• Charging should take approximately 4-6 hours if the battery is mostly empty.
• Store the battery indoors in a dry space, away from heat or flame sources, and out of direct sunlight.
• The charger may get hot (>165°F) when charging. Use caution and avoid touching the body of the charger.
• Do not expose the charger to rain or wet conditions.
• Keep the battery charger clean.
• Always check the charger, cable, and plug before use. Stop using if damaged.
• Do not operate the charger on easily ignited surfaces or in flammable environments.
• If the battery gives off fumes, ventilate the area and seek medical attention.
• Note the household voltage: The power supply must correspond to the specifications on the battery charger nameplate.

5.4 Storing the Battery

If the battery pack will not be used for weeks or months, remove it from the eBike and store it at about 60% charge. Check the charge level every 2-3 months and recharge to 60% if necessary.

For optimum service life, charge the battery pack to 100% a few hours before you plan to ride.

NOTE: Leaving the battery installed on the bicycle for long-term storage is not recommended.

Store the battery pack in a dry, well-ventilated place, protected from moisture and water. Ensure the storage location has a smoke alarm, is away from combustible/flammable objects, and heat sources.

For optimum service life, store your PULUMA eBike battery at temperatures between 50°F and 68°F. Never store it below 14°F or above 140°F. Do not leave the battery in your car during summer or in direct sunlight.

For more detailed information, please refer to the official user manual PDF: User manual (PDF).

6. Specifications

Note: There are some discrepancies in speed and range values between different data sources. The table above combines information from both. Please refer to the official PDF manual for the most accurate specifications.

7. Maintenance

Note: Our warranty does not include any maintenance fees.

You should have your bicycle maintained at regular service intervals by a local bicycle shop. NEVER open any of the components, including the battery, display, motor, or PAS sensor. Service should only be performed by a bicycle repair shop.

Always remove the battery pack before performing any bicycle inspection, maintenance, or repair.

If you suspect that something is loose, do not ride your bicycle. All nuts, bolts, and screws require the proper tightening force. Incorrect tightening force can result in component failure, loss of control, and a crash. Take your bicycle to a bicycle repair shop for service.

Do not paint any components of your PULUMA eBike as this may cause premature failure.

Do not submerge your PULUMA eBike or its components in water; do not use a pressure washer to clean it.

Always observe the operating and storage temperatures of your PULUMA eBike and its components. Protect motor, display, and battery pack against extreme temperatures (e.g., from intense sunlight without adequate ventilation). Extreme temperatures can damage components (especially the battery pack). Please have your PULUMA eBike serviced at least once a year.
