It is important to become familiar with the use of hand brakes. When properly adjusted, hand brakes are an efficientbraking system. Keep the rim and brake shoes clean and free from wax, lubricants and dirt at all times. Keep brakesproperly adjusted and in good working condition at all times.Check your Brakes

Press each brake lever to make sure that there is no binding and that the brake pads press hard enough on the rims tostop the bike. The brake pads should be adjusted so they are 1 mm to 2 mm away from the rim when the brakes arenot applied. Brake pads should be centered on the rim and “toed-in” so the rear portion of each brake pad is about0.5 - 1.0 mm farther from the rim than the front portion of the brake pad.

Ⅰ-5. Cushion Adjustment1. Loosen the lock bolt to adjust cushion angle with a 5mm internal hexagonal wrench as shown in the figure. Range ofadjustment is -15°~15°.Note: it is commonly better to adjust the cushion horizontally to the ground line.

Ⅳ.Postscript

Ⅳ-1. Correct application1.Before the electrically power assisted cycle is used, the height of the saddle and the handlebar shall be adjusted toensure comfort during riding and reduce fatigue. The height of the saddle and the handlebar changes upon differentriders. Normally, the saddle shall be adjusted until the rider can put one foot on the ground (the whole cycle almoststands vertically) and the handlebar shall be adjusted until the rider can stretch forearms comfortably and feelshoulders and arms relaxed. However, it shall be ensured in advance that the seatpost and the handle stem areinserted over the safety lines for the adjustment of the saddle and the handlebar.2. Check and adjust the front and rear brakes before the electrically power assisted cycle is used. The front brake iscontrolled by the right brake handle and the rear brake is controlled by the left brake handle. The front and rearbrakes shall be adjusted until braking is achieved by the left and right brake handles which reach half stroke. Replacebrake shoes timely when abraded excessively.3. Check the chain before the electrically power assisted cycle is used. It is hard to ride when the chain is too tenseand it is easy to vibrate or touch other components when the chain is too loose. The chain slack shall be 1-2mm. It canbe properly tensioned if the cycle is not pedaled. When the chain is adjusted, loosen the nut of the rear wheel andthen evenly tighten or loosen the left/right adjusting screw to adjust the tension of the chain. Then re-fasten the nutof the rear wheel.4. Check chain lubrication before the electrically power assisted cycle is used. Touch and observe whether the chainaxis rotates flexibly and whether chain links are severely corrosive. If corrosion or inflexible rotation occurs, properlyadd lubricating oil and if it is serious, replace the chain.5. Before the electrically power assisted cycle is used, check the tyre pressure, flexibility of the handlebar, flexibility ofthe front and rear wheels, circuit, battery, motor, lighting, fasteners and others and ensure they are satisfactory.(1)Insufficient tyre pressure will increase the abrasion between tyres and the ground, which reduces the distanceper charge; moreover, it reduces the flexibility of the handlebar and affects the comfort and safety during riding. Addpressure when it occurs and tyre pressure shall be consistent with suggested pressure values in the OperationInstruction of the Electrically Assisted Power Cycle or required pressure values in the tyre surface.(2)When the handlebar is inflexible, seized, rigid or tight, lubrication or adjustment shall be conducted timely. Forlubrication, butter, calcium-based or lithium-based grease is normally adopted. When it is adjusted, loosen the lockingnut of the front fork and rotate the fork block until the rotation flexibility reaches requirements. Then lock the lockingnut of the front fork.(3)The inflexibility of the front and rear wheels will increase the rotational friction and energy consumption, whichmay reduce the distance per charge. Therefore, lubrication and maintenance shall be carried out timely in the case ofany malfunction. For lubrication, butter, calcium-based or lithium-based grease is normally adopted. Replace steelballs or hub in the event of hub malfunction; send it to the professional repairer in the event of motor malfunction.(4)For circuit check, make it switch on and check whether it works normally, whether the connectors are insertedfirmly, whether the fuse works normally and especially whether the output terminal of the battery is reliablyconnected to cables. Eliminate all errors timely if necessary.(5)Before using the cycle, you shall check the battery and judge whether the remaining power is enough for riding.If it is not enough, you shall pedal the cycle to avoid undervoltage working of the battery.(6)Before using the cycle, you shall also check the work condition of the motor.

is loose or fallen down, it shall be fastened or replaced timely. Suggested torque for fasteners is normally 18N.m forhandlebar, handle stem, saddle, seatpost, front wheel and pedals as well as 30N.m for the locking nut of the centralaxis and rear wheel.7. This electrically power assisted cycle is not suitable for uneven or much sloppy roads (normally ≤8°). You shall slowlydrive or push the cycle forward under such road condition. Due to such bad condition, the service life of the motor,controller and battery will be shortened and they are likely to be damaged.8. When the electrically power assisted cycle is used when it is cold, pay attention to the remaining power and voltageindication of the battery. Under cold condition, the depth of discharge shall be properly reduced and it is forbidden todrive when under voltage, since the charge capacity and discharge capacity are lowered in cold days.9. The electrically power assisted cycle can work normally in rainy or snowy days. However, when it rides acrossaccumulated water, the height of accumulated water shall not exceed the bottom line of the central shaft tube toprevent water from entering and causing damage. The cycle shall be cleaned to be dry after running in rainy or snowydays. Electrical components which are immersed in water shall be dried with dryer to prevent corrosion, creepage,short circuit or other malfunction.10. You shall reduce your speed when riding in rainy or snowy days and increase braking distance to prevent sideslipor accidental u-turn which may cause damage to body.11. The electrically power assisted cycle shall not be exposed to sunlight for a long time and shall be stored in a coolplace. Exposure to sunlight will accelerate aging of paint, plastic parts, rubber parts and electronic parts, and alsoreduce their service life and reliability.12. When the battery is charged, only an attached charger or a charger of model designated by our company can beused. The battery and the charger shall be put in a ventilated place for charging and placed stably and far frominflammable goods, explosive goods, high temperature, moisture or shower. It is forbidden to cover the battery or thecharger during charging. They shall be out of children’s reach. Before charging, confirm that the power supply andfrequency from the grid are consistent with charger requirements. Connect the battery with the output terminal ofthe charger and the input terminal of the charger with the grid. After charging is finished, disconnect the grid and thendisconnect the charger with the battery.13. The battery can not be used in the event of undervoltage. It shall be charged immediately. Deep discharge oroverdischarge is forbidden.14. The battery shall be kept in a cool and moderately moisture place with face upwards. For a long-term storage, thebattery shall be charged every three months and half charge is enough.15. Carefully read the User Manual for this electrically power assisted cycle before using this cycle for the first time.Understand the performance of this electrically power assisted cycle and do not lend it to others who are not able tooperate an electrically power assisted cycle.16. Mental patients, alcoholics and other disabled not suitable for riding are not allowed to use electrically powerassisted cycles. Riders with heart disease, epileptics and color-blinded riders shall ride this electrically power assistedcycle carefully.17. Electrically power assisted cycles are non-motor vehicles and riders shall comply with local traffic regulations. Youshall ride it on the non-motor vehicle lanes or locally designated lanes for such cycles.18. Electrically power assisted cycles shall be kept in a cool, ventilated and dry place and also far from corrosive liquidor gas. During storage, electrically power assisted cycles shall keep vertical with sufficient tyre pressure. Heavy goodscan not be loaded on the cycles and the battery shall be stored separately.

Ⅳ-2. Driving skill

1. Preparations before driving

Individualized adjustment

Bicycles are designed in accordance with ergonomics and with proper size, which can not only reduce injuries but alsoincrease comfort.It is normally measured as follows:Ride on the cycle and put your feet on the ground; keep 2.5cm from the crotch to the top tube and 5cm to theallrounder. For women’s cycles, the joint between the top tube and the head tube shall be kept 2.5cm from the crotch.2. Riding skill and safety

Correct riding posture ensures safety: the riding posture is dependent on the relative position of the contact betweenthe rider and the cycle (handlebar, saddle and pedals). It is also closely related to the height of the rider. The ridingposture is important for determining the efficiency of muscle exercise and also the safety of operating handlebar andbrakes.

Follow these riding skills for safety:⑴Adjust the height of the saddle: step the pedals downwards with heels; the joint and muscle of the lower limbs shallflexibly bend and stretch, and meanwhile the feet can be slightly straight.⑵Forward and backward: step on the pedals at the angle of 45 degree and then adjust the saddle forward orbackward until it can match with the hamstring strength at the pedals to be at the best position.⑶Adjust the position of the handlebar: generally, the upturned grip shall be nearly 30-50mm higher than the saddle,and the flat handle shall be as high as the saddle. The downturn grip shall keep its top as high as the saddle. Afteradjustment, pay attention to the handlebar direction and then lock it.⑷Correct riding posture: keep your upper body slightly forward and elbows bent as equilateral triangle.⑸Sitting posture: it is similar to riding a horse; distribute your body weight to the handlebar and pedals; do not put allyour weight on the saddle as it causes hurt to hips.⑹Pedaling skill: put the front 1/3 point of the shoes at the center of the pedals. Your feet movement shall be parallel

with the central line of the cycle. If not, the efficiency of pedaling will be reduced. Keep even speed, otherwise youmay feel tired. Specially note pulling function which pulls the pedals.

3. Speed change skill:

⑴Do not pedal the cycle reversely when changing speed to avoid chain dropping caused by malfunction.

⑵Do not change the variable gear ratio dramatically; gradually change speed upon terrain to avoid feet fatigue.⑶When you are 60 meters from the slope, gradually change your speed upon slope. Normally, people are used to

change speed when it is hard to climb, which affects speed, causes danger of falling down and also increases abrasionof components.⑷For long-term storage, change the chain to the minimum crankset and the small flywheel to avoid elastic fatigue of

components.

4. Braking skill: the most important for safe driving

⑴Emergency brake skill: for emergency brake, rear brake shall be before front brake. However, people normally brake

both at emergency. If the braking distance is proper, it can brake safely; but if deceleration is too fast, the rider may becast forward. To avoid such danger, it is best to brake intermittently and meanwhile push your hips backwards,especially in rainy days or on boracite roads.⑵Speed control skill: especially when you ride downhill as it speeds up and prepare for speed change, you must

control brake to decelerate before change in order to prevent danger of exceeding the yellow line and being off theroad.

5. Climbing skill:

When you are climbing the slope, it is not enough to step pedals hard, which makes you feel tired. So please adjust theassisted power to highest in advance .Then you can shift the derailleur base on you personal preference. There aresome skills as follows:⑴After speed change, move the rear flywheel to the big crankset or move the front big crankset to the small

crankset, which can make you feel comfortable and keep the speed.⑵Utilize the strength of the upper body: grasp the lower part of the downturn grip, slightly move back the waist, pull

the grip towards your breast and step the pedals forward to utilize the muscle of the upper body naturally and makeclimbing easy. Do not leave the saddle for pedaling, which makes you feel tired easily. It is best to inhale twice andexhale once during climbing to gain sufficient air.
