2 Page 2 THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING OUR ELECTRIC ASSISTED TRICYCLE OUR E-TRIKE CAN BE OPERATED VERY EASILY.IT CAN BE OPERATED BY THE MOTOR ALONE OR BY PEDALING ALONE OR A COMBINATION OF BOTH AT THE SAME TIME.IN ORDER TO GIVE YOU A LONG AND SAFE US- AGE PLEASE READ THE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING. SAFTEY CHECK BEFORE RIDING YOUR BICYCLE 1.CHECK AND TIGHTEN ALL NUTS,BOLTS, STRAPS AND FASTENERS 2.CHECK THAT BRAKES OPERATE CORRECTLY 3.CHECK TYRES FOR WEAR, DAMAGE AND CORRECT PRESSURES.PRESSURES ARE USUALY WRITTEN ON TYRE WALLS. 4.CHECK WHEELS FOR TRUENESS 5.CHECK LIGHTS FOR OPERATION AND AD- JUSTMENT 6.CHECK AUDIABLE WARNING DEVICE [BELL OR HORN Align Brake Arms With the pads installed, check the brake arm position. Both arms should be facing straight up and down when the pads are contacting the rim. If they are too wide apart, or two close together, you may have to re-arrange the pad washers. One set of washers is usually thicker than the other. To correct brakes arms that are too far apart, make sure the smallest set of washers are closest to the pads. To correct brakes arms that are too close together, make sure the largest set of washers are closest to the pads. Adjust Cable Tension Now re-connect the cable and adjust the cable tension on the brake arm by pulling the cable through the pinch bolt and tightening. You ll have to play with this adjustment until your brakes feel good. I like to have mine set so that the pads hit the rim when my lever is pulled about 1/4 of the way. Brake Arm Centering Make sure both pads now have equal clearance, and are not rubbing against the rim. Both pads should contact the rim at the same time. If not, you can adjust the centering by tightening or loosening the side adjustment screw with your screwdriver. ALWAYS WEAR AN APPROVED BICYCLE HELMET AND OBEY THE ROAD RULES AT ALL TIMES

3 BRAKE ADJUSTMENT Align Brake Levers The first step is to set up your brake levers. Start by loosening the clamp, and then align them so that they match the angle of your arms when you re riding. Once the angle is set, tighten the clamp. If you have smaller hands and your levers are hard to reach, you can set them closer by tightening the reach adjustment screw on most levers. Remove & Inspect Brake Pads Start by giving the cable some slack. Tighten the lever s barrel adjuster in all the way. Then pull the protective rubber back and disconnect the brake cable s quick release mechanism. Then remove the pads. V-brake pads have two sets of positioning washers on each side of the brake arm. Be careful to watch how the washers are positioned so that you can re-install them correctly. Inspect your pads. If they are worn past the indicator line, or have metal poking through the surface, you ll need to replace them. If they look ok, use your sandpaper to re-surface both pads. Adjust Brake Arm Tension Now check your brake arm tension. The brake arms should have good spring tension, which makes them release when you let go of the brake lever. If there isn t much tension, you may have to increase it on both sides. Undo both bolts one at a time, but don t remove them completely. You ll notice a small piece of metal poking out the backside of the brake. This is the spring, and it slides into one of three holes on your frame or fork. Most brakes work fine in the middle hole. To increase your brake tension, move the spring into the top hole. To decrease the brake tension, move the spring into the bottom hole. Then tighten the mounting bolt. Install & Align Brake Pads Now re-install the brake pads, with the washers in the same order as they were before. Align the brake pads so the pad face is flat against the rim. V- brake pads are different from traditional pads in that they don t require any toe-in. Both the front and rear of the pad should contact the rim at the same time. Because of this, v-brakes will sometimes squeak when applied. If you ve re-surfaced the pads and they are still noisy, you may have to try a higher quality set of pads. Take a look from the side to make sure the pad is in line with the rim s brake surface, and not touching the tire or hanging off the bottom of the rim. ASSEMBLEY IT IS ALWAYS RECOMMENDED THAT BICYCLE IS ASSEMBLED AND CHECKED BY A COMPETENT BICYCLE MECHANIC CAREFULLY UNPACK AND UNTIE HEADSTEM ASSY FROM FRAME BEING CAFULL TO NOT STRAIN WIRING LOOM INSERT HEADSTEM INTO FRONT FORK ASSEMBLY MAKING SURE THE CUT MARK IN STEM IS NOT VISABLE AFTER ALIGNING HANDLE BAR TIGHTEN 12MM NUT THROUGH SLOT IN HEADSTEM COVER DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN ARRANGE WIRING LOOM AND FAS- TEN TO TRIKE WITH CABLE TIES SUP- PLIED ASM PER PICTURE MAKING SURE THE CABLE DOSNT CATCH ON MUDGAURD AND THAT WHEEL CAN BE TURNED BOTH WAYS WITHOUT STRAINING WIRING LOOM.
