Skeri ET03 Electric Tricycle User Manual

Introduction

Welcome to the Skeri ET03 Electric Tricycle user manual. This guide provides essential information for the safe assembly, operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting of your new electric tricycle. Please read this manual thoroughly before your first ride to ensure optimal performance and safety.

Safety Guidelines

• Always wear a helmet and appropriate safety gear when riding.
• Familiarize yourself with local traffic laws and regulations for electric bicycles/tricycles.
• Perform a pre-ride safety check before each use, including brakes, tires, and battery level.
• Do not operate the tricycle under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
• Be aware of your surroundings and ride defensively.
• Ensure the parking brake is engaged when stopped on inclines or when loading/unloading cargo.

Setup and Assembly

Your Skeri ET03 Electric Tricycle arrives approximately 90% pre-assembled. The following steps outline the remaining assembly process.

Unpacking and Initial Inspection

Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Inspect for any damage during transit. Ensure all parts listed in the packing list are present.

Assembly Steps

1. Handlebar Installation: Attach the handlebars to the stem, ensuring they are centered and tightened securely.
2. Seat and Backrest Adjustment: Install the seat and backrest. Adjust the seat height and backrest position for comfortable riding.
3. Pedal Attachment: Identify left (L) and right (R) pedals. Thread them into the crank arms carefully. Note that the left pedal has a reverse thread.
4. Front Wheel and Fender: Install the front wheel and attach the front fender. Ensure the fender is properly aligned and secured to prevent rubbing.
5. Basket Installation: Attach the front and rear baskets. For the rear basket, ensure the mudguards are correctly positioned and secured. Do not overtighten bolts until all are in place.
6. Battery Installation: Insert the 48V 13Ah removable battery into its compartment and secure it. Ensure it clicks into place.
7. Final Checks: Before your first ride, double-check all bolts and quick-release levers for tightness. Ensure brakes are functioning correctly and tires are inflated to the recommended pressure.

Operating Instructions

Powering On and Off

• To power on, press and hold the power button on the LCD display.
• To power off, press and hold the power button again.

Riding Modes

The Skeri ET03 offers multiple riding modes to suit your preference:

• Pedal-Assist Mode (PAS): Provides electric assistance as you pedal. Adjust the assist level using the controls on the handlebar. This mode extends battery range significantly (up to 50 miles per charge).
• Full-Electric Mode (Throttle): Engage the throttle for power without pedaling. This mode consumes battery power more quickly.
• Manual Mode: Ride the tricycle like a traditional bicycle without any electric assistance.

LCD Display

The intuitive LCD display provides real-time information:

• Speed: Current riding speed.
• Battery Level: Indicates remaining battery charge.
• PAS Level: Shows the current pedal-assist level.
• Odometer/Trip Meter: Tracks total distance or current trip distance.

Braking System

The tricycle is equipped with high-performance hydraulic disc brakes for reliable stopping power. Always apply both brakes smoothly and evenly.

• Parking Brake: Engage the hydraulic parking brake when stopped, especially on inclines, to prevent unintended movement. This is crucial when loading or unloading the baskets.

Cornering and Stability

The Skeri ET03 features an innovative rear differential system, allowing each rear wheel to rotate independently. This enhances maneuverability and stability, especially during turns. Approach turns at a reduced speed, similar to a traditional bicycle, to maintain balance and control.

For visibility and safety, the tricycle is equipped with a comprehensive lighting system:

• Bright LED Headlight: Illuminates the path ahead.
• Warning Taillight: Increases visibility from the rear.
• Wheel Reflective Strips: Enhance side visibility.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your Skeri ET03 Electric Tricycle.

Battery Care

• Charging: Use only the provided charger. Charge the UL Certified 48V 13Ah battery fully before the first use and after each ride. Avoid completely draining the battery.
• Storage: If storing the tricycle for an extended period, charge the battery to 50-70% and store it in a cool, dry place. Recharge every 1-2 months to prevent deep discharge.
• Safety: Do not expose the battery to extreme temperatures or direct sunlight. Do not attempt to open or modify the battery pack.

Tires

• Pressure: Check tire pressure regularly. The 20"x4" fat tires require specific pressure for optimal performance and comfort. Refer to the tire sidewall for recommended PSI.
• Inspection: Inspect tires for wear, cuts, or punctures before each ride.

Brakes

• Functionality: Test both front and rear hydraulic disc brakes before each ride. Ensure they engage smoothly and provide adequate stopping power.
• Pad Wear: Periodically check brake pads for wear and replace them as needed.

General Cleaning and Inspection

• Clean the tricycle regularly with a damp cloth. Avoid using high-pressure washers directly on electrical components.
• Inspect all bolts, nuts, and fasteners for tightness.
• Lubricate the chain periodically with bicycle chain lubricant.
