2. Safety Information

This manual contains important information regarding safety performance and service. Ensure you have read the following warnings before using your product for the first time.

• If you lend your electric bicycle to other people, please ensure the user reads this manual, as this can reduce the risk of accidents.
• Always wear a suitable and safe helmet before riding. Wear clothing with fluorescent and reflective strips if riding at night to enhance visibility.
• Do not exceed the speed limit; exceeding it is a major cause of traffic accidents. Always observe traffic rules and regulations.
• Do not touch the charging port on the bicycle or touch it with metal objects. Doing so can cause a short circuit and lead to an accident.
• To maximize battery endurance, avoid frequent braking, riding against strong winds, carrying excessive loads (people or objects), or riding with insufficient tire pressure.
• When aiming for the best endurance, consider using the pedal-assist mode.
• Avoid frequent braking or using a 'zero start' (starting from a standstill without pedaling) to conserve battery, ensuring brakes are ready for use.
• Do not overload the bicycle beyond its specified load capacity.
• Before each ride, check the tire pressure and ensure it is at the recommended level.
• Avoid prolonged exposure of your e-bike to direct sun or rain. Do not store it in places with high temperatures or corrosive gases, as this can lead to chemical corrosion and damage to electroplated parts, painted surfaces, and electrical components, potentially causing malfunctions and accidents.
• Your current insurance policy may not cover situations related to riding an e-bike. Contact your insurance company or broker for information regarding coverage.
• Observe local laws and regulations regarding the minimum age for riding an electric bicycle. In China, the minimum age is 16.
• Bicycles are vehicles with inherent risk factors; always observe traffic rules. In an emergency stop, apply the rear brake first, then the front brake, especially if riding at high speed. Suddenly braking the front wheel first can cause the bicycle to tip over. Therefore, ride carefully.

3. Setup and Assembly

The SAMEBIKE M200 is designed for easy setup. Follow these steps to prepare your e-bike for its first ride.

1. Unfolding the Bicycle: Carefully unfold the frame until it locks into place. Ensure all quick-release levers are securely fastened.
2. Handlebar Adjustment: Adjust the height and angle of the handlebar for a comfortable riding position. Secure the quick-release lever.
3. Seat Adjustment: Adjust the saddle height to ensure your feet can comfortably touch the ground when stopped, and your legs have a slight bend at the knee when pedaling. Secure the quick-release lever.
4. Tire Inflation: Check the tire pressure using a gauge and inflate to the recommended PSI (pounds per square inch) indicated on the tire sidewall.
5. Brake Check: Test both front and rear brakes to ensure they engage smoothly and effectively.
6. Battery Installation/Check: Ensure the 48V 13Ah lithium battery is securely installed. If it's removable, ensure it's properly seated and locked. Charge the battery fully before first use.

4. Operating Instructions

The SAMEBIKE M200 offers versatile riding modes and features for various terrains.

4.1 Riding Modes

Your e-bike supports three distinct working modes:

• Pure Power Mode: The motor provides full power without requiring pedal input. Controlled via the throttle.
• Pedal Assistance Mode: The motor provides assistance as you pedal, making riding easier, especially uphill or over long distances. The level of assistance can typically be adjusted.
• Riding Mode (Manual): The e-bike functions as a traditional bicycle, with no motor assistance. You rely solely on your pedaling power.

4.2 LCD Monitor and Controls

The integrated LCD monitor provides essential riding information. It displays mileage, battery power level, and current speed. The e-bike is also equipped with a remote control for security features, including an automatic alarm when the e-bike is locked.

The bicycle features a USB charging mobile phone holder, allowing you to charge your mobile device while riding.

4.3 Shifting System

The SAMEBIKE M200 is equipped with a Shimano 7-speed shifting system. This system allows for responsive gear changes without chain drops. Utilize the gears to adapt to different terrains and conserve energy, especially when climbing hills.

5. Maintenance

Regular maintenance is crucial for the longevity and safe operation of your SAMEBIKE M200.

• Battery Care: Charge the 48V 13Ah lithium battery regularly, even if not in use, to maintain its health. Avoid fully discharging the battery frequently. Store the battery in a cool, dry place. The battery is removable for convenient charging.
• Tire Pressure: Check tire pressure before each ride and maintain it at the recommended level for optimal performance and safety.
• Brakes: Regularly inspect the dual disc brakes for wear and tear. Ensure brake pads are not excessively worn and that the braking system responds effectively. Adjust or replace components as needed.
• Frame and Components: Periodically check all bolts, nuts, and quick-release levers to ensure they are tight and secure. The folding frame is made of sturdy aluminum alloy.
• Cleaning: Clean your e-bike with a damp cloth. Avoid using high-pressure washers directly on electrical components. Do not expose the e-bike to prolonged sun or rain.
• Suspension Fork: The front fork suspension effectively dampens unevenness from complex terrain. Keep it clean and free of debris.
