- Always stand next to your bike when turning it on
- In the centre of the handlebars, there is a screen with a power button at the bottom. Hold this button down to turn the bike on.
- Once the bike is on, choose your assistance level using the top and bottom buttons on the left hand side of the handlebars. The bike has levels eco, norm and high, eco being the least amount of assistance and high being the most.
- If this is your first time riding an e-bike, we recommend starting your ride on eco, and increasing the assistance level as you feel comfortable.
- When stopped for more than 5-10 minutes, the bikes will automatically turn themselves off to save battery. Otherwise, to turn off your bike, hold down the button on the right hand side of your screen.
- If you are to stop somewhere and leave the bikes, please use the locks provided to lock them up, prefferably locking them to something sturdy e.g. a bike rack or a post, rather than locking the wheel to the frame.
- Brakes on the left hand side of the handlebar are your back brakes and on the right hand side are your front brakes. Please use both gently to slow down as they are hydraulic disc brakes and work very well if you are to slam them on.
- On the right hand side of the handlebars you’ll see a small window with numbers 1-9. These are your gears, number 1 is the easiest gear (for riding up hills) and number 9 is the highest gear (riding in flat areas). To change these gears, you’ll see two levers,one for your right thumb and the other for your index finger. The thumb lever is to change down gears (towards 1) and the index finger lever behind is to change up gears (towards 9). Please ensure you are pedalling to change gears, don’t change them when stationary.
- There is a kickstand on the left hand side of your bike for when you stop – please use this and avoid lying the bikes down.
- If your bike doesn’t seem to be working or has an error code on the screen, simply hop off your bike and turn it off, wait 20 seconds and turn it back on.
