3.2 Riding Modes
The K306 offers three riding modes:
- Pure Electric Mode: Engages the motor without pedaling, similar to a scooter. This mode consumes the most battery power.
- Pedal Assist Mode (PAS): The motor provides assistance as you pedal. This mode offers a balance of power and range (42-65km). Adjust the assistance level using the gear shift on the left handlebar.
- Pedal Mode: Operates as a traditional bicycle with no motor assistance.

3.3 Lights and USB Charging
The K306 is equipped with a bright LED front light, a rear light, and turn signals for enhanced visibility. Use the light switch on the handlebar to control them. A USB port is available on the handlebar for charging mobile devices.

4. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your electric bicycle.
4.1 Battery Care
- Charge the battery regularly, even if not in use, to maintain its health.
- Avoid completely draining the battery before recharging.
- Store the battery in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- If storing for an extended period, charge the battery to 50-70% and check it every few months.
4.2 Tire Care
The 14-inch reinforced tires provide good traction. Regularly check tire pressure and inflate to the recommended PSI (refer to the tire sidewall for specific values). Inspect tires for wear, punctures, or damage.
4.3 Brake System
The K306 features front and rear hydraulic disc brakes. Regularly check the brake levers for proper tension and ensure the brake pads are not excessively worn. If braking performance decreases, have the brakes inspected and adjusted by a qualified technician.

- Check all bolts and fasteners for tightness.
- Inspect the frame for any signs of damage or cracks.
5. Troubleshooting
5.1 Speed Limiter and Buzzer
The bicycle may have a speed limiter that causes a buzzing sound when accelerating beyond a certain speed. This is a safety feature. Information on how to potentially unlock the speed limit and disable the buzzer is often provided via a video link by the manufacturer. Please refer to the product listing or manufacturer's support for this specific video.

5.2 Common Issues
- Bicycle not powering on: Check if the battery is properly installed and charged. Ensure the power button is pressed correctly.
- Motor not assisting: Verify that Pedal Assist Mode is selected and the battery has sufficient charge. Check for any loose connections.
