P a g e 6 Product Summary Congratulation on your purchase of a RILU Q-F7T Folding electric bicycle. Your new electric bicycle has two different ways of activating motor power. Throttle Located on the right hand side of the handlebar is a thumb triggered throttle which enables you to control the speed of the motor, without the need for pedalling. PAS Built into your Q-F7T is a Pedal Assistance Sensor. This automatically detect the speed at which you pedal and will automatically moderate the motors speed while riding. By selecting one of the three modes low/med/high on the LED display you are able to adjust the amount of motor output power that is automatically given when pedalling is detected by the PAS. Override Function Engaging the throttle will override your PAS setting
P a g e 7 General Usage Summary RILU recommends you first ride the bike without using any electrical assistance to familiarize yourself with the mechanical gearing and breaking system of your Q-F7T.

Understanding Battery Capacity Meter P a g e 11 The battery capacity gauge is located below the POWER logo at the bottom of the handlebar LED Display. It is an approximate estimation of battery capacity based on a real-time voltage reading of the battery pack. There are several factors that may affect the accuracy of the reading such as cold weather or steep inclines. When the motor is under heavy load the POWER gauge LEDs will sag showing an underestimated capacity reading. The gauge will correct itself after the heavy load is lifted.
P a g e 12 Battery Low Flashing Warning When battery LED is Flashing Battery charge level is <10%. It is critical that you recharge within 24 hours to avoid any damage to the battery.
