2. Setup and Initial Preparation

Before your first ride, ensure the tricycle is properly assembled and charged. While the tricycle is 95% pre-installed, some final assembly and checks are required.

2.1 Unpacking and Assembly

• Carefully remove all components from the packaging.
• Unfold the tricycle frame, ensuring all locking mechanisms are securely engaged. Refer to the folding mechanism section for detailed instructions on unfolding.
• Attach the handlebars, seat, pedals, and any remaining accessories like the front and rear baskets. Ensure all bolts are tightened to the manufacturer's specifications.

2.2 Battery Charging

The 48V 14.5Ah removable battery should be fully charged before initial use. A full charge typically takes 6-8 hours using the provided 110V-240V 54.6V 2A charger.

• Locate the charging port on the battery or tricycle frame.
• Connect the charger to the battery, then plug the charger into a standard wall outlet.
• The charger indicator light will change (e.g., from red to green) when charging is complete.
• Always disconnect the charger once the battery is fully charged.

2.3 Pre-Ride Checks

• Tire Pressure: Ensure tires are inflated to the recommended pressure (check sidewall of tires).
• Brakes: Test both front and rear brakes to ensure they engage smoothly and effectively.
• Lights: Verify the LED headlight and any other lights are functioning correctly.
• Quick Releases/Latches: Double-check all quick releases and folding latches are securely fastened.

3. Operating Instructions

Familiarize yourself with the controls and features of your MOONCOOL electric tricycle for an optimal riding experience.

The tricycle features a Smart LED Display to monitor speed, battery level, and assist mode.

• To power on, press and hold the power button on the display unit.
• The display will illuminate, showing current speed, battery charge, and pedal assist level.
• Use the '+' and '-' buttons to adjust the pedal assist level (typically 0-5 levels). Level 0 provides no electric assistance.

3.2 Riding the Tricycle

• Pedal Assist: The 48V 500W helical motor provides assistance as you pedal. The level of assistance depends on your selected assist mode.
• Throttle (if equipped): Some models may include a thumb or twist throttle for electric power without pedaling. Use responsibly and according to local regulations.
• Braking: The tricycle is equipped with hydraulic disc brakes for reliable stopping power. Apply both brakes smoothly and evenly.

• Secure the folded tricycle with any integrated straps or clips.

4. Maintenance

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

4.1 Battery Care

• Charge the battery regularly, even if not in frequent use, to maintain its health. Avoid completely draining the battery.
• Store the battery in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Do not expose the battery to water or excessive moisture.

4.2 Tires and Brakes

• Tires: Check tire pressure weekly and inflate as needed. Inspect tires for wear, punctures, or damage.
• Brakes: Regularly inspect brake pads for wear and replace them when necessary. Ensure brake levers are firm and responsive. Adjust brake cables if there is excessive slack.

4.3 General Cleaning and Inspection

• Clean the tricycle regularly with a damp cloth. Avoid using high-pressure washers directly on electrical components.
• Inspect the frame for any cracks or damage, especially around welds and joints. The 6061 aluminum frame is designed for durability.
• Lubricate the chain and other moving parts periodically to ensure smooth operation.

5. Troubleshooting
