If the riding surface is wet, sandy, covered with leaves, small rocks, or debris, ride at SLOWER SPEEDS and with EXTRA CAUTION. Do not attempt sharp turns. Stopping distances will likely be increased by such conditions. Apply the brakes sooner and with less force. Always apply the rear brake first, allowing time for braking action to occur before applying the front brake (if applicable). RAPID FRONT BRAKE APPLICATION ON ANY SURFACE MAY CAUSE A FRONT "PITCH OVER" CRASH. Learn to use the brake(s) properly under controlled conditions until you learn proper braking under all conditions. While riding, watch for road hazards such as drain grates, pot holes, ruts, loose gravel, leaves, uneven pavement, manhole covers, debris, and obstructions. **Always wear shoes and avoid wearing loose fitting clothing when riding. Long sleeves, long pants, gloves, eye protection, a well fitting helmet, and elbow and knee pads are recommended at all times while riding. Do not ride while using headphones. Avoid wearing any items which limit your ability to see or hear clearly. Pr-Speed does not approve or encourage riding after sunset or during darkness. Vision during these times is quite limited for bike riders, motorists, and bystanders. If you MUST ride at night, use front and rear lighting, wear reflective clothing, and plan your route to remain in well-lit areas while avoiding heavy traffic areas. 5 RIDER CONSIDERATIONS Riding readiness varies widely from one person to another, and age and size are not the only factors to consider. Riders must be big enough to hold the bike up, mount the bike, and sit on the seat while placing both feet on the ground. Riders must be able to operate the brake lever(s), throttle, and all other controls. NOTE: Pr-Speed bikes were NOT designed to carry a passenger or cargo. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CARRY A PASSENGER OR CARGO ON YOUR BIKE! Doing so may alter the bike's handling characteristics, braking ability, and/ or stability. In addition, passengers, cargo, and added accessories reduce the maximum load that the bike can carry. DO NOT EXCEED THE MAXIMUM WEIGHT LIMIT OF 120 LBS. FOR YOUR BIKE!! Maximum weight limits are also found on the bottom cover of your bike, or at www.getpurspeed.com. 6 ACCESSORIES AND MODIFICATIONS MODIFYING YOUR ELECTRIC BALANCE BIKE USING NON PR-SPEED PARTS AND ACCESSORIES MAY MAKE YOUR BIKE UNSAFE! We strongly recommend that you use only Pr-Speed genuine parts and accessories that have been specifically designed or approved and tested for your balance bike. You must be personally responsible for proper selection, installation, and use of any non Pr-Speed accessories. Check with your dealer for assistance and always follow these guidelines: Make certain that the accessory: -Does not reduce ground clearance and lean angle -Does not limit steering travel -Does not alter your riding position or ability to see the riding surface clearly -Does not interfere with the operation of any controls NOTE: We strongly advise you not to remove any original equipment or modify your electric balance bike in any way that would change its design or operation. Such changes could seriously impair your bike's handling, strength, stability and braking, making it unsafe to ride. Do not make any modifications or remove any equipment that would make your bike illegal in your riding area. 7 CHARGING YOUR BIKE Please follow these instructions to charge your new electric balance bike before its first use, and anytime the battery indicator light is down to the "red" level, or the bike's motor stops working: Be sure to charge the bike in a cool, dry environment. Do not charge the bike in freezing temperatures (32°F or below). Charging time is approx. 2 to 3.5 hours, depending upon the level of the battery when charging begins. Be certain that the power switch on the throttle is "off". Plug the charger into a 110v outlet. The green light on the charger should come on. Insert the plug from the charger into the charging port on the frame of the bike. (A SMALL spark or "pop" sound is normal.) When connected to the bike, the light on the charger will turn to red, indicating that the battery is charging. When the battery is fully charged, the light on the charger will turn from red to green. (If the light on the charger does not turn red when plugged into the bike, the bike is either fully charged, or the charger has malfunctioned and should be replaced immediately.) WARNING: Leaving the bike in direct sunlight for an extended period of time (5-8 hours) may damage the battery, and may cause the battery to explode. 8 CAUTION: Modifying, or attempting to modify, the electronic components, and/or wiring, adding components which were not installed by the factory, removing safety components, or any other modifications not approved by Pr-Speed will void your warranty!! If any components become loose while riding, STOP IMMEDIATELY and tighten, or bring your bike to a repair facility before riding further! Note: When applying the Pr-Speed decals to your bike, be sure the application area is clean and dry. Wipe all areas with rubbing alcohol, allow the alcohol to evaporate, then apply the decal. This will ensure that the decals adhere properly and will not peel. 9 ASSEMBLY NOTE: Before Assembly, Do The Following: -Turn the power switch on the throttle to the "OFF" Position -Read these assembly instructions COMPLETELY -Remove contents from the carton and inspect for damage -Always exercise caution around exposed electronic parts STEP ONE INSTALL THE FRONT WHEEL : NOTE: The axle and other important parts/tools are located in the tool kit. The washers and spacers are installed on the axle in the proper order in which they should be mounted on the bike. Be sure to keep the spacers in the proper order when installing the wheel. (See photos on the following pages) Remove the Axle Nut and the spacers, washers, etc. from the axle. Place the axle through the spacers and/or washers, then through the wheel hub, ensuring that the brake rotor/disc is centered in the brake caliper (if equipped). Hold the proper spacers/washers on the opposite side of the wheel and push the axle completely through the spacers/washers and the frame hook. Screw the nut onto the end of the axle. Bikes with nonsuspension type forks have washers with a tab on them which go on the axle, outside of the forks. Please be sure that the tabs are seated in the small notches on the fork, just above the axle hooks. The tabs ensure that the axle is installed correctly, and ensure that the axle will not fall out of the frame hooks. Tighten the axle by holding the head of the axle bolt with a socket while tightening the nut very firmly. 10 ASSEMBLY AXLE WASHERS AND SPACERS 12" Xtreme 11 ASSEMBLY 16S, ko 12 and 16" Xtreme Tab Notch Retaining Tab For ko 12 and 16" Xtreme 12 ASSEMBLY: STEP TWO INSTALL THE HANDLEBAR: Remove the four mounting screws from the handlebar clamp as shown. Insert the handlebar in the clamp and re-install the four screws. NOTE: The power switch should be mounted slightly upward, approximately 30-40 degrees from level. This positioning will allow the rider to easily twist the throttle through its full range. After mounting the handlebar, check the handlebar end caps and tighten, if necessary. Also, check that the throttle turns freely and returns to the "off" position quickly when the throttle is released. Check that the rubber handlebar grip is clear of the handlebar end cap and does not interfere with the operation of the throttle. Once the handlebar is mounted, plug the throttle wire into the existing wire harness on the bike. 13 ASSEMBLY: STEP THREE ADJUST THE SEAT The seat may be adjusted by opening the quick release lever on the seat post and loosening the clamp until the seat can be moved. Raise or lower the seat into the desired position for the rider (The rider's weight should be evenly distributed between the seat and the handlebars.) Do not over-tighten. The lever should require considerable force to close by hand, but should not be so tight as to require any tools or objects to close! NOTE: Be certain to tighten the seat mounting brackets at the top of the seat post before the first ride. Failure to do so may result in seat damage! CAUTION: The seat post has an inscribed arrow and series of hash marks. The ARROW represents the MAXIMUM allowable seat height. DO NOT RAISE THE SEAT TO THE POINT THAT THE ARROW IS ABOVE THE TOP OF THE SEAT TUBE OF THE BIKE. DOING SO MAY CAUSE THE BIKE'S SEAT TUBE TO BREAK, RESULTING IN A CRASH AND/OR INJURY TO THE RIDER. 14 ASSEMBLY STEP FOUR INSPECT YOUR BIKE During shipping and handling, nuts, bolts, and screws, may loosen. Before the first ride, be sure to inspect all nuts, bolts, and screws on your new bike to be sure they are tight. Pay special attention to the wheel axles, seat, seat post, and handlebars. Lift the front of the bike, spin the wheel, and check the brake to ensure that it does not drag heavily against the rim. Apply the brake and check that the wheel stops appropriately. Lift the rear of the bike and repeat the above brake check. Next, stand in front of the bike and face the front wheel. Hold the wheel between your knees and attempt to turn the handlebar to the left and right. Attempt to lift the bike by the handlebar. The steering components should be tight, with no movement or free play. Check that the front and rear wheels are installed tightly in the frame hooks and have no side-to-side or vertical movement. The wheels should have clearance and should not contact any other parts of the bike or accessories when freely spinning. 15 12" BIKE FEATURES All of Pr-Speed's 12" models come from the factory with speed limiters and safety features enabled. This allows the rider to start at a beginner level, with less abrupt starts and a low maximum speed. The KICK START feature is turned ON from the factory, and the speed switch on the bottom of the bike is pre-set to the slowest setting. It is highly recommended that the speed not be increased until the rider has practiced, and become proficient in, balancing, braking, and moving the bike forward with the power switch turned off, or with the throttle wire unplugged from the bike. 16 16" BIKE FEATURES Pr-Speed's 16" models have a three speed switch (High, Medium, Low) on the bottom of the bike. 16" models do NOT have the "kick start" feature enabled. This means that the bike will immediately begin moving forward when the power switch is "on" and the throttle is turned. It is highly recommended that the speed not be increased until the rider has practiced, and become proficient in, balancing, braking, and moving the bike forward with the power switch turned off, or with the throttle wire unplugged from the bike. Pr-Speed Balance Bikes have surprising performance. Be prepared for the bike to start forward quickly! It is crucial to teach all riders how to release the throttle and apply the brakes BEFORE using the power of the bike's motor! 17 INCREASING THE BIKE'S SPEED WARNING: MAKE ONLY ONE ADJUSTMENT AT A TIME. NEVER REMOVE THE "KICK START" FEATURE AND INCREASE THE SPEED SWITCH SETTING AT THE SAME TIME!! CAUTION: After increasing speed settings or removing the kick start feature of the bike, be sure to closely supervise any child during their first few rides. Supervision should be maintained until the child has gained experience and is accustomed to the new settings. When the rider has gained enough experience and is ready for increased speed, the speed switch on the bottom of the bike may be moved from "low" to "medium". Similarly, when the rider is comfortable on the "medium" speed setting, the speed switch may be moved from "medium" to "high". To remove the kick start feature (on applicable models), be sure that the rider is experienced and ready for the change. Follow the instructions on the next pages to remove the bottom cover and disconnect the kick start feature. DO NOT REMOVE THE KICK START FEATURE WITHOUT FIRST MOVING THE SPEED SWITCH BACK TO THE LOWEST SETTING!! 18 BOTTOM COVER REMOVAL To remove the bottom cover, locate and remove the four screws holding the plastic rock protector in place. Rock Protector With the rock protector removed, use a small, flat screwdriver to gently pry the FRONT of the bottom cover. (the rounded end). See the diagram on page 20. DO NOT PRY THE SIDES OR THE BACK OF THE COVER, AS THE LOCKING TABS WILL BREAK. The bottom cover is hinged in the rear and should be removed by lifting the front edge first, similar to opening a book. 19 BOTTOM COVER REMOVAL Bottom Cover NOTE: The three speed switch and its wiring are attached to the bottom cover. Remove the cover gently, taking care not to damage the connecting wires! 20 UNDER THE BOTTOM COVER The controller and various wiring connections are found under the bottom cover of your bike. Always use caution not to damage any wires or electronic components when the bottom cover is removed! (The wires found on your bike may vary, depending upon your bike's available features). Look for light blue and black wires labeled "Zero Start", or "KSM". (Kick Start Mode). When these wires are connected together, the "KICK START" feature of the bike is turned "ON", and the bike must be propelled forward manually (by the rider kicking the legs) before the motor will engage. Also found under the cover are various wiring harnesses which go to the handlebar, battery, and motor. These wires should not be handled unless replacing some of the components on your bike with approved Pr-Speed genuine parts, and with proper guidance from getpurspeed.com. 21 WIRING/VOLTAGE CHART FUNCTION Connect to Battery Connect to Motor Connect to Power Switch WIRE COLOR Red Black Yellow 1.5MM Green 1.5MM Blue 1.5MM Orange 0.3MM WIRE VOLTAGE REFERENCE 24/36/48V Negative When motor running, 12v.

The bike should be maintained and repaired in accordance with Pr-Speed's specifications, using only Pr-Speed authorized replacement parts, and should not be modified from its original design and configuration. To avoid injury, please be sure that the power switch on the throttle housing is turned OFF while inspecting or repairing your bike! -Inspect the throttle. Be sure that the throttle rotates freely and returns to the "off" position when it is released. Check for cracks, dirt, or other visible damage that may cause the throttle to stick open. Be sure that the rubber grip is not in contact with the handlebar's end cap. -Inspect the brake(s). Check for proper brake function. Ensure that the brake is not dragging heavily on the brake rotor. When the brake lever(s) is squeezed, the brake should provide positive braking action. -Inspect both tires. Inspect the tires for excess tread wear. Check the sidewalls for defects or damage and check/adjust the air pressure as needed. -Inspect the frame, forks, handlebar, and handlebar clamp. Look for any cracks or deformities. If any crack or deformity is found, no matter how small, do not use the bike until proper repairs have been made. 25 BEFORE EVERY RIDE -Inspect the bike for loose hardware or parts. Check all nuts, bolts, cables, fasteners, etc. to ensure that they are tight and secure. Check that the wheels are securely seated in the frame hooks. There should be no unusual rattles or other sounds from broken or loose components. -Know the riding surfaces and the forecasted weather conditions for the area you will be riding. Do not ride if inclement weather or other dangerous conditions exist or may develop during your ride. -Always check and obey local laws and regulations in the area you will be riding. 26 CLEANING AND APPEARANCE CARE To prevent damage to your bike or components, If your bike is still warm from recent operation, please allow time for it to cool before washing and/or maintenance is performed. To clean your bike, you may use: -Water -A mild, neutral detergent and water -A mild "spray and wipe" cleaner/polisher -A mild spray and rinse cleaner/degreaser and water Avoid products that contain harsh detergents or chemical solvents that could damage the metal, paint, or plastic on your bike. Do not use high pressure water or air to clean your bike. Doing so may allow water into electronic components and damage bearings or other components of your bike. 27 CLEANING AND APPEARANCE CARE 1. Rinse your electric balancer thoroughly with cool water to remove loose dirt. 2. Fill a bucket with cool water. Mix in a mild, neutral detergent (such as dish washing liquid). 3. Wash your bike with a sponge or a soft towel. If it is necessary to remove heavy grime, use a mild cleaner/ degreaser on those areas. Use extra caution around your bike's decals, as heavy scrubbing or chemicals may damage them. 4. After washing, rinse your bike thoroughly with plenty of clean water. 5. Dry your electric balancer with a chamois or a soft towel. Leaving water on the surface to air dry may cause dulling and water spots. As you dry your bike, inspect the frame for abnormalities, damage, and cracks. Use caution when riding immediately after washing and drying your bike. Wet brake parts will extend your stopping distance. Ride slowly to ensure that brake components are completely dry and apply the brakes several times until the brakes stop normally. 28 TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE Be sure that the battery is fully charged or replaced before performing any troubleshooting. PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE SOLUTION Power Switch does not work, or light flickers when turned on Faulty switch or bad wire connection. Battery not fully charged Malfunctioning Power Switch. Replace switch or throttle assembly. Verify that battery is fully charged Bad wiring harness connection Follow the throttle wire down until it enters the frame. Remove frame plug and carefully pull on the wire until the connector comes through. Unplug the connector and check for corrosion. Clean contacts and reconnect. Try switch. If still not working, remove controller box cover and find solid dark blue and black wires. Unplug the connector then plug it back in. If switch still does not work properly, unplug the connector again. Connect a voltmeter (ohm function) to red and blue wires that go to switch. When switch is turned on, voltmeter should show "0" if the switch is GOOD (This means the controller is BAD). If meter does not show "0", the switch is bad, and the throttle assembly should be replaced 29 TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE PROBLEM Bike stopped while riding POSSIBLE CAUSE Loose battery or wire connectors Battery Drained Power switch faulty Throttle bad Motor or electrical system damaged Rider weight too high or terrain is too steep Short run time or bike running slowly Battery not fully charged Old or damaged battery Tire(s) not properly inflated SOLUTION Recharge or replace battery Recharge Battery Replace throttle assembly Replace throttle assembly Contact Pr-Speed for further diagnosis Do not exceed max. Weight capacity and choose terrain with less steep hills. Recharge battery and try again Replace battery Check tire pressure and inflate to pressure listed on sidewall of tire 30 WARRANTY PR-SPEED LIMITED WARRANTY Pr-Speed warranties these products to be free from material and manufacturing defects from the date of purchase as described below: FRAME: 3 Years ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS (Including battery and charger): 180 Days MOTOR: 180 days This limited warranty will be void if the product is not used in accordance with the owner's manual, such as: -Damage in an accident, crash, or loss of control incident -Used in a manner other than for recreation -Poorly or incorrectly maintained -Used in a manner in which the product was not specifically designed -Failure to follow owner's manual instructions or warnings -Exposure of electronics or battery to water or moisture -Modified in any way, except with Pr-Speed approved parts -Damaged by unauthorized service or parts -Used for commercial purposes This limited warranty does not cover any damage, failure, or loss caused by improper assembly, maintenance, or storage. 31 WARRANTY PR-SPEED is not liable for incidental or consequential loss or damage due directly or indirectly to the use or misuse of this product.
