1. Attention

Illustrations in this manual are for demonstration purposes only and may not reflect the exact appearance of the actual product. Specifications are subject to change.

Do not operate the electric bike without fully reading and understanding this manual.

Before each ride, ensure that all parts are in good working order. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact your dealer.

Ensure you observe all local road rules and regulations when using this electric bike.

Passengers cannot be carried, unless they are in an approved child seat, and do not exceed the weight limit for the child seat or the bike carrier rack or bike frame.

When riding in rain, snow or slippery conditions, reduce your speed and increase the distance between yourself and other vehicles.

Pay attention to the increased braking distance required in rainy and snowy conditions as well as when you are riding downhill or on gravel.

We advise against performing maintenance operations that involve removing parts or components. This may invalidate warranty. Please contact your local dealer.

Do not ride through deep puddles. Water could enter the hub motor, causing short circuits and irreparable damage.

Do not allow an individual who is unfamiliar with the features and functions of this electric bike to operate it without proper instruction.

Do not modify the electric bike unless through an authorised dealer.

Do not submerge any of the electrical parts/connectors in water or other liquid.

Switch the e-bike off when not in use.

2. Check Before Use

Is the tyre pressure correct?

o2.8-4.5 bar (40-65 PSI) for BLACK City

o2.0-4.0 bar (29-58 PSI) for BLACK Trail.

Are the brakes working correctly?

Is the battery sufficiently charged for the ride you intend?

Is the handlebar and its fittings and the seat post correctly set and tightened?

Are the wheel hub mounting nuts correctly tightened?

We recommend you always wear an approved bicycle helmet (less than 3yrs old), gloves and have high-visibility clothing/equipment when riding.

4. Adjustments

4.1 Adjusting the Handlebar Position

a) Place the handlebar onto the handlebar stem, place the cover on and fix the 4

screws (1) with an Allen Key, torque should not be less than 5Nm.

b) To align the handlebar, face your bike and hold the front wheel between your legs.

Turn the handlebar so it is perpendicular to the front wheel.

c) Tighten the two screws that fix the handlebar stem to the steerer tube. The torque should not be less than 8Nm.

4.2 Adjusting the Saddle Position

a) To ensure comfort and safe handling, adjust the saddle to suit your body size. The

saddle height is correct if when seated your leg is not quite fully extended at the

bottom of the pedal stroke. You should also be able to touch the ground with your

toe when seated.

b) The saddle can be also be inclined and adjusted forwards and rearwards for best

fit. Loosen the screw (1) tilt the saddle to the desired horizontal position and/or

move forwards or rearwards and tighten screw (1). To avoid discomfort, the saddle

should be set as horizontal as possible.

c) To adjust saddle height. Release the quick-release lever (1), determine your preferred saddle height and tighten the quick-release lever. By adjusting the nut (2) on the quick-

release lever you can adjust the clamping force required. The quick-release lever (1) must close with noticeable back pressure. The seat post must always be inserted to at

least the safety mark engraved on the seat post. WARNING: If the quick release lever is not properly closed it may open during riding. This can allow the saddle to move

downwards which could lead to accident and injury. Closing of the quick release lever should also be firm enough to stop the saddle from being able to be twisted. Only

then is the tension sufficient.

4.3 Adjusting the Front Wheel

The quick-release skewer consists of two handling components (see diagram on right):

1) The closing lever located on one end of the hub exerts a clamping force through a cam.

2) The pre-tension of the axle is adjusted with the clamping nut located on the opposite side of the hub.

For the correct use of the quick-release skewer, follow these steps:

oTo open, move the lever towards the ‘Closed’ marking on the lever. Once open you will be able to read

the ‘Open’ side of the lever. Then release the pressure on the cam by undoing the nut at the other end of

the skewer until the hub clears the fork drop out.

oTo close, move the lever towards the ‘Open’ marking on the skewer. Once closed you will be able to read

the ‘Closed’ side of the lever. When closing adjust the tension with clamping nut at the other end of the

skewer. It should close easily until about halfway then should tighten for the second half of the operation.

Open and close the lever several times, adjusting the nut about half a turn until the clamping force is

correct.

4.4 Adjusting and Maintaining the Brakes

Make sure the rotors are true. Spin the wheel and sight against the brake pads, watching for wobbles in the rotor. If the rotor clears the pads and caliper, the rotor is true

enough even if there are slight wobbles. If you spot a warp in the rotor, straighten it by clamping a clean adjustable wrench along the rotor and bending gently toward true.

Make sure everything that touches the rotor is perfectly clean. Any grease/oil/other contamination will reduce braking grip and may cause brake squealing.

If your brakes squeal, and no obvious contamination is present on the brake pads, something may be loose. Check all bolts holding the rotor on, as well as the caliper bolts and

adapter bolts (if your bike is fitted with one).

If everything’s snug, the rotor and pads should be cleaned with isopropyl alcohol or similar to remove contamination. If brake squealing continues, take your bike to your

dealer for professional service.

If one lever pulls back farther than the other, try to equal out the travel by adjusting the cable tension at the brake lever or caliper by screwing the barrel nut in or out, then

tighten the lock nuts. Be sure to adjust the brake caliper inner pad adjust screw as well.

Regularly check the performance of the brakes and contact your dealer for a brake service if you notice a performance reduction.

4.5 Adjusting the Derailleur

WARNING: This is a general guide. If you are unfamiliar with derailleur tuning we strongly recommend you take your bike

to your dealer for professional service, to avoid damage to the bike.

Adjust the lower adjustment screw to make the guide wheel move to the smallest sprocket on the free-wheel. Align the

centre of the guide pulley and the outer line of the smallest sprocket, then tighten the gear shift cable with the nut on the

derailleur.

Turning the front chain-wheel, with the rear wheel off the ground, operate the gear lever to shift to the largest sprocket.

Turn the upper adjustment screw so that the guide pulley moves to a position directly below the largest sprocket.

By turning the screw inwards you shorten the travel of the derailleur, moving the guide pulley towards the centre of the free

wheel. By turning the screws outwards you increase the travel of the derailleur towards the frame or the spokes. When the

stop screws are adjusted correctly the chain will not come off the smallest cog into the frame or off the largest cog and into

the spokes.

Once the stop screws are correctly adjusted the cable tension can be adjusted by turning the barrel nut on the derailleur

cable entry point until the gears operate smoothly when selected with the gear lever.

5. How to use the bike display

5.1 Bike Display at a Glance

5.2 Turning the Bike On/Off

Hold the ‘M’ button for 2 seconds to turn the display on/off. The display will automatically turn off if there is no activity for 10 minutes.

Tip: If the display does not turn on, check that the battery is charged.

5.3 Increasing/Decreasing Assistance

Press the Plus (+) button to increase the power assist level and press the Minus (-) button to decrease. The bike has 5-levels of power assistance.

Always start off slowly and gradually speed up. Make sure your speed is appropriate to the riding conditions (weather, road surface, traffic/pedestrians etc).

5.4 Walk Mode

Stand at the side of bike with both hands on the handlebar and make sure the way in front of you is clear. Press and hold the

Minus (-) button for 2-3 seconds to start walk assist status. The bike will keep at an even speed of 6km/h. until the button is

released.

When operating in Walk Mode the display will show a ‘P’ (see right).

WARNING: Walk assist should only be used when pushing the bike; do not use this function when riding.

5.5 Battery Charge Indicator

Five segments will show when the battery is fully charged. When it is at low voltage, the last segment will flash to

warn of imminent power loss.
