I. Introduction: A word about this Owner’s Manual and your
safety…
Dear Customer,
Currie Tech would like to thank you for purchasing our product.
Cycling (electric or otherwise) can be a hazardous activity,
no matter what type of bicycle you ride. Trafc, weather,
distractions, and many other factors can endanger you while
using any type of bicycle or vehicle. Mistakes and accidents
can lead to severe injury or death so please read this manual
before riding our product.
You have a responsibility to learn how to operate your new
bicycle safely and correctly. Keep it in good shape by
maintaining it and making sure that anyone who uses it knows
how to operate it safely.
Please take the time to read and understand the following
warnings and cautions. Throughout this manual we will attempt
to reinforce the guidelines that we have summarized below.
This is important. If others use your bicycle, please show this
section to them so that they are aware of these important
guidelines to help avoid accidents and reduce the severity of
injuries when they occur.
Thank you.
p. 3/52
II. Important Safety Information
• Helmets: There is no single factor that works better at
reducing the severity of injuries sustained in bicycle
accidents more than a quality bicycle helmet. Please
don’t ever ride your bicycle without one.
• It’s not a tandem: Your bicycle was engineered to carry
one (1), [that is a single rider,] person safely. The rack on
the back is for luggage or a battery. Overloading the
bicycle with a second rider is a bad idea that can lead to
severe injury or death! Not to mention the fact that you
will severely impact the performance of the bicycle.
• It’s the law; obey it: Obey all trafc laws. Always ride
on the right side, with, not against, trafc. STOP signs
and trafc lights apply to cyclists as well as cars and
pedestrians.
• Be alert to conditions around you! Unfortunately, a
motorist that has successfully parallel parked his/her car
is not always thinking about the cyclist fast approaching
from behind. An impact with a car door suddenly
opened into your path will ruin your day.
• Weather: If you get caught in rain or snow, please be
aware that distance to stop your bicycle may double or
triple over the distance that it takes under dry conditions.
Ride more slowly and anticipate your stops by applying
the brakes MUCH earlier. Don’t forget that the roads are
a lot more slippery when wet. Bicycle tires don’t grip wet
pavement as well as dry pavement. Take the corners
carefully.
Currie Tech Technical and Customer Service: +1 800-377-4532 p. 4/52
• Night time: Motorists have a hard time seeing you when
the sun goes down. We make the bicycle easier to see
with reectors, and you can help with additional lights
and strobes (available accessories). However, even with
these additional features, you’re still not as visible as in
the daytime. If you must ride at night, wear light-colored
clothing, preferably with reective strips. Buy a ashing
LED light and use it. Make sure that the reectors on
your bicycle are properly positioned and clean. Use the
headlight so that you can see the obstacles in your path.
Ride more slowly. Be wary of cars and assume that they
do not see you.
• Maintenance: It worked ne when we put it in the
box: Please maintain your bicycle. We have included
maintenance instructions in this manual. We’re smart
guys, but we haven’t gured out how to make a bicycle
that takes care of itself. Check the brakes and the tires
and the tightness of all those important fasteners before
each and every ride. Pretend that you’re a pilot doing
a walk-around of his airplane before taking-off. The pilot
knows that his life depends on the airworthiness of his
plane; your life depends on the roadworthiness of your
bicycle. Please have your bicycle checked by a qualied
bicycle mechanic AT LEAST once a year. It’s a small
investment in your well-being.
• Battery: We have equipped your eFlow bicycle with a
state-of-the-art lithium ion battery. This is the same battery
chemistry that powers your cell phone and laptop, but
on a much bigger scale. Lithium ion batteries feature the
highest gravimetric energy density available. (How’s that
for engineering techno-speak? What it means is that you
get more energy per pound than with any other battery
chemistry.) We have built-in a sophisticated battery
management system (BMS) that helps control all that
p. 5/52
energy. But the battery requires care and maintenance
to ensure that it will perform safely and reliably for many
miles of riding. We have devoted an entire chapter of
this manual to the battery. Please read and understand
this important information. As always, if you have any
questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
If you have a question about any aspect of riding your bicycle,
please don’t hesitate to give us a call. We love to talk about
the safe use of our products. Or call the Authorized Dealer
where you purchased the bicycle. Remember, we love to do
anything that we can to make sure that you remain a healthy
and loyal customer.
IN SUMMARY:
1. WEAR A HELMET EACH AND EVERY TIME YOU GET ON THE
BICYCLE!
2. Don’t carry passengers.
3. Obey the Rules of the Road.
4. Ride defensively! Watch out for both moving and
stationary cars.
5. Be careful in wet conditions. Braking and traction are
signicantly reduced.
6. Ride carefully at night and make sure you are wearing
high visibility reective clothing.
7. Maintain your bicycle.
8. Care for your battery.
9. Read and study the rest of this manual.
10.If you do not understand any aspect of the use and care
of your bicycle, PLEASE call us: Currie Tech Customer
