5.3 Riding Modes
The SAMEBIKE XD26 offers three distinct riding modes:
- Electric Assist Mode (PAS Mode): The motor provides assistance as you pedal. You can adjust the level of assistance using the display controls. This mode offers a range of 50-60 miles.
- Electric Mode: The bike is propelled solely by the motor, without the need for pedaling. Use the thumb throttle for acceleration. This mode offers a range of 32-35 miles.
- Body Mode (Pedal Mode): The bike operates as a traditional bicycle, with no motor assistance. This mode is ideal for exercise or when the battery is depleted.

5.4 Gear Shifting
The bike is equipped with a 7-speed Shimano gear system. Use the shifter on the handlebars to change gears according to terrain and desired speed. Shift smoothly to avoid strain on the drivetrain.
5.5 Braking System
The XD26 features dual hydraulic disc brakes for reliable stopping power. Squeeze both brake levers simultaneously for effective and controlled braking. Regularly check brake pad wear and cable tension.

6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your e-bike:
- Battery Care: Charge the battery regularly, even if not in use, to maintain its health. Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid fully discharging the battery.
- Tire Pressure: Check tire pressure before each ride. Maintain the recommended PSI (pounds per square inch) indicated on the tire sidewall.
- Brakes: Inspect brake pads for wear and replace them when necessary. Ensure brake levers are firm and responsive.
- Chain: Keep the chain clean and lubricated to ensure smooth gear changes and prevent rust.
- Cleaning: Clean the bike regularly with a damp cloth. Avoid high-pressure washing directly on electrical components.
- Fasteners: Periodically check all bolts and nuts for tightness, especially on critical components like handlebars, wheels, and seat post.
7. Troubleshooting
Here are some common issues and their potential solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Bike does not power on | Battery not installed correctly, low battery, loose connection | Ensure battery is fully seated and locked. Charge battery. Check all cable connections. |
| Motor not assisting | PAS level too low, brake lever engaged, motor cable loose | Increase PAS level on display. Release brake levers. Check motor cable connection. |
| Brakes feel weak | Worn brake pads, air in hydraulic line, misaligned caliper | Inspect and replace brake pads. Bleed hydraulic brakes (professional service recommended). Adjust caliper alignment. |
