Care & Maintenance for Your New E-Bike

General care is similar to a regular bicycle: keep dry, clean, and lubricate moving parts. Avoid parking in exposed areas.

Check brake effectiveness before each use.

For your e-bike, you should also take note of the following:

• Designed for single-person, regular country road use. Extreme maneuvers may cause damage or injury.
• Do not use high-pressure water streams for cleaning; water may seep into the motor or wiring, causing rust or short circuits.
• Avoid parking outside in rain or snow. Bring the bike inside and dry it thoroughly after riding in wet conditions.

Special Care for the Battery and the Charger

• Use only the supplied charger. Contact your dealer for a replacement if lost or damaged.
• Do not open or alter the battery or charger.
• Do not place the battery near fire or corrosive substances. Do not immerse in water or liquids.
• Avoid subjecting the battery to high temperatures (e.g., direct sunlight).
• Do not short circuit the battery poles.
• Battery charge capacity decreases with use. If the battery does not hold sufficient charge, contact your dealer. Under normal use, the battery lasts for 1000 charge/discharge cycles.
• The battery is engineered for high capacity and long life. Do not use it to power other electrical devices, as this may damage the battery, shorten its life, or cause fire/explosion.

For the battery, you should also take note of the following:

• Keep the battery out of extreme temperatures.
• Operating temperature when charging: 32° - 113° F (0° - 40° C).
• Operating temperature when discharging: -4° - 113° F (-20° - 45° C).
• Do not short circuit discharge/charge terminals.
• Do not leave the battery charging overnight or for long periods.
• Avoid intense physical shock, severe vibration, or strong impacts.
• Protect discharge/charge terminals from water.
• Keep the battery away from children.
• When not in use for an extended period, remove and store the battery safely.
• Do not disassemble the battery.
• Contact Customer Service with any questions about battery usage.

Attention: If the electric bike is not used for more than half a month, the battery may become empty and unchargeable. This is considered human damage and is not covered by warranty.

Correct Operation:

1. If the bike is not used for a long time, fully charge the battery after the last use.
2. After fully charging, remove and store the battery in a cool, dry place.

For the bike, you should also take note of the following:

Check the following every one to two months:

• Handlebar and saddle post are correctly inserted and tightened.
• Wheel hub mounting nuts are correctly tightened.
• Wheel rims are not cracked, and spokes are not loose or broken.
• Tires are not worn or cut.
• Tires are correctly inflated.
• Battery contacts are not dirty or oxidized.
• Batteries are sufficiently charged.
• Front and rear brakes are working correctly.
• Cables are sufficiently greased, and brake pads are in good condition.
• Frame welds are in good condition, free of corrosion or oxidation.

Before and after each ride, please follow these actions:

• Check wheel alignment.
• Check battery charge status.
• Check brake function.
• Check tires for punctures.
• Store bike in a clean, dry place.
• Check that the stand is securely fastened.
• Check for loose cables or wires that may strain when turning the front wheel.

Quarterly (or approximately every 750-1500 miles)

• Check all items from the monthly service list.
• Check tire tread for excessive wear; replace if necessary.
• Check that electrical connectors and cable housings are clear of moving parts and not damaged; replace if necessary.
• Visit your local bike store for adjustment by a certified mechanic.

Safety Tips

We Recommend the Following Safety-Related Procedures:

• Wear a helmet.
• Ride in control at all times.
• Use lights and reflective gear in low light situations.
• Inspect your bike often, especially the brakes.
• Seek maintenance for any notable changes in bike performance.
• Know and observe road rules.
• Ride defensively. Be visible and anticipate hazardous situations. Be aware that the electric motor allows faster speeds, potentially surprising drivers.
• Avoid road hazards like potholes, drain grates, railroad tracks, and loose road material.
• Use both front and rear brakes together for best performance. Using only the rear brake increases stopping distance.

E-Bike Road Safety

Obey traffic laws, including lights, signals, and road signs. Use bike lanes when available. Cyclists often exceed speed limits and run red lights, which is risky. E-bikes travel faster than traditional bikes, increasing risk. Do not cycle on sidewalks, as it endangers pedestrians.

Be wary of others. Drivers may not realize how fast you are going. Allow cars to proceed first and be patient and alert, especially at intersections and turns.

Maintenance of The Transmission System: Mainly Lubrication

Keep the chain oily and sensitive, especially after wading and raining. Lubricate front and rear derailleur moving parts. Use bicycle-specific lubricant. Ordinary engine oil is less effective. For rusty chains, clean with kitchen cleaner, then diesel.

Derailleur

If shifting becomes less smooth, clean and lubricate the front derailleur and link sections. If operations are not smooth, clean and lubricate all moving parts. Replace derailleur if links are too loose.

Hardware

Torque all hardware to specified values. If hardware is damaged, have it inspected and replaced by a certified bike mechanic.

Wheel

Install the wheel according to manual steps. Ensure fasteners are tightened. Regularly check fasteners for normal operation and looseness. Adjust spoke tension if necessary.

Tires

Monthly (or every 250-500 miles): Inflate tires to recommended pressure: 25psi summer, 30psi winter.

Handlebar

Ensure the handlebar is correctly installed per video instructions. Check for stability. If loose, stop riding and reinstall.

Seat

Check seat connection for looseness. Retighten periodically. Clean crank arm and bottom bracket with a neutral detergent. Alkaline or acidic detergents may cause discoloration.

Reflector

Wipe and clean reflectors regularly. Ensure they are working to remind vehicles at night. Wear reflective clothing for visibility.

Off-road Safety

Ride according to conditions. In rough or slippery conditions, dismount and walk. Adjust gears for road conditions. Do not speed. Always wear a helmet, ensuring it fits securely. Only increase pedal-assist levels when comfortable and experienced. Higher assist levels increase speed quickly. Take care when riding at any speed. Failure to follow warnings can lead to serious harm, injury, or death. Damage from failing to follow instructions is not covered by warranty. Do not lean on the bike when parked with the kickstand in use, as this may cause the kickstand to fail.

Brakes

Brake cables stretch during the wear-in period, potentially affecting performance. Brakes may need adjustment. Check brake pads for wear and replace if necessary. Visit a local bike shop for a tune-up by a certified mechanic.

Battery Safety

Follow these safety precautions to avoid injury, damage to the product, or damage to other property.

Battery

• Do not throw the battery into fire.
• Do not overheat the battery.
• Use only the specified rechargeable battery.
• Do not take apart or modify the battery.
