Setup

Unpacking and Initial Inspection

Carefully remove the bicycle from its packaging. Inspect the frame, wheels, and components for any signs of damage that may have occurred during shipping. Report any damage to your retailer immediately.

Assembly (98% Assembled)

Your Denver E2000 comes 98% assembled. The remaining steps typically include:

1. Unfolding the Frame: Carefully unfold the main frame and secure the folding mechanism latch. Ensure it clicks firmly into place.
2. Handlebar Setup: Raise the handlebar stem and secure its folding latch. Adjust the handlebar height to a comfortable riding position and tighten the quick-release lever.
3. Seat Post Installation: Insert the seat post into the frame. Adjust the seat height so your leg has a slight bend at the knee when the pedal is at its lowest point. Secure the seat post quick-release lever.
4. Pedal Attachment: Identify the left (L) and right (R) pedals. The left pedal threads counter-clockwise, and the right pedal threads clockwise. Apply a small amount of grease to the threads and tighten them firmly with a wrench.
5. Tire Inflation: Check the tire pressure using a gauge. Inflate to the recommended PSI (pounds per square inch) indicated on the tire sidewall.
6. Brake Check: Squeeze both brake levers to ensure they engage the brakes effectively. Adjust cable tension if necessary.

Initial Battery Charge

Before your first ride, fully charge the battery. Connect the charger to the battery charging port and then plug it into a power outlet. The indicator light on the charger will change (e.g., from red to green) when charging is complete. This typically takes several hours.

Operating Instructions

Folding and Unfolding the Bicycle

The Denver E2000 features a convenient folding design for portability and storage.

1. To Fold:
   • Lower the seat post completely.
   • Release the handlebar stem folding latch and fold the handlebars down.
   • Release the main frame folding latch and carefully fold the bicycle in half.
   • Some models may have foldable pedals; fold them if applicable.
2. To Unfold:
   • Reverse the folding steps, ensuring all latches and quick-releases are securely fastened before riding.

Powering On/Off and LED Display

The LED display on the handlebars controls the electric assist system.

• Power On: Press and hold the power button (⏻) on the LED display. The battery indicator lights will illuminate.
• Power Off: Press and hold the power button again until the lights turn off.
• Battery Indicator: The LED lights indicate the remaining battery charge. More lights mean more charge.
• Assist Levels: Use the "MODE" button to cycle through the pedal assist levels: LOW, MED, HIGH. Each level provides a different amount of motor assistance.

Pedal Assist System (PAS) Usage

The E2000 is a pedal-assist bicycle. The motor provides assistance only when you are pedaling. The level of assistance depends on the selected mode (LOW, MED, HIGH).

• Start in LOW mode for gentle assistance and to conserve battery.
• Use MED or HIGH for more power, such as climbing hills or accelerating.
• The motor will cut off when you stop pedaling or apply the brakes.

Gear Shifting

Your bicycle is equipped with a Shimano TY 21 6-speed derailleur and Shimano Revoshift freewheel. Use the twist shifter on the right handlebar to change gears. Shift to a lower gear for easier pedaling on inclines and a higher gear for faster speeds on flat terrain.

Braking

The E2000 uses V-brakes (Linear Pull). The left lever typically controls the front brake, and the right lever controls the rear brake. Apply both brakes simultaneously for effective stopping. The brake levers are designed to cut off motor power when engaged.

Maintenance

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

• Battery Care:
  • Charge the Lyshen 36V 10.4Ah battery fully after each ride, or at least once a month if not in use, to prolong its lifespan.
  • Store the battery in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
  • Do not fully discharge the battery regularly.
• Tires:
  • Check tire pressure before each ride. Maintain pressure within the range specified on the tire sidewall (20 x 1.75 covers).
  • Inspect tires for wear, cuts, or embedded objects.
• Brakes:
  • Regularly check brake pads for wear and replace them when necessary.
  • Ensure brake levers have proper tension and engage smoothly.
• Chain:
  • Keep the chain clean and lubricated to ensure smooth gear changes and prevent rust.
• Folding Mechanism:
  • Keep the folding hinges clean and lightly lubricated.
  • Ensure all latches are free of debris and operate smoothly.
• General Cleaning:
  • Clean the bicycle with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid high-pressure washing, especially around electrical components.
