Safety Precautions
Safeguard your batteries to insure continued high performance. It should be recharged after
each use. The normal full-cycle battery life if it is continuously discharged and re-charged is
about three years or 600-800 cycles or recharges, after which the storage capacity of the
battery will gradually decline. If it is not fully discharged and is recharged regularly, the service
life of the battery will be at its optimum. The batteries supplied are top quality Samsung
Lithium Batteries specifically designed for this vehicle.
•Battery performance is affected by the temperature and is generally more efficient in
warmer temperatures. When the temperature drops below 0 C (32 F) the battery
current may decrease by up to a third or more. Consequently, the travel range on a full
charge in cold environments is much less.
•Frequent braking and starting, riding uphill, traveling against a strong wind, starting
from a standstill, riding on rough or muddy roads, carrying more than one person
and/or heavy loads will consume extra battery power and shorten the range. A few tips
to prolong the battery life during these conditions are as follows:
oFrequent Braking –try to look ahead and coast rather than stop and go
frequently. Riding uphill or against a stiff wind –pedal to supplement the
battery power.
oWhen starting from a standstill –use the pedals to help bring you up to speed.
oWhen the battery meter indicates the voltage is low, switch to manual power
and avoid using the battery so you don’t shorten the battery life.
•If the battery is being stored make sure it is in a clean dry space not near any water or
heat source, remove the battery from the bicycle and recharge it every month.
CAUTION! Fully charge the batteries before the first use!
Failure to do this can result in decreased battery performance for the life of
the bike. Fully charge the battery each time you use the bike.

This electric tricycle can be used in the light rain and snow, however, it must not be submerged
in water or puddles or ridden in excessively rainy weather - the controller, motor and other
electrical devices may be short circuited and malfunction as a result. Damage caused by water
is NOT covered by the warranty.
Battery Chargers contain sensitive electronics. Improper use, dropping, or sudden jolts can
damage the charger and its internal components.
CAUTION! Always turn off the power and remove the key from the battery
before and during charging to prevent damage to the controller and to the
batteries!
DO NOT use chargers or other components that have not been approved
and tested by eTrikes Canada. eTrikes Canada is not responsible for damage
caused by the use of other products not specifically designed and tested for
use with this electric bike. Use if a charger other than the original supplied
will void warranty.
CAUTION! Do NOT use an air compressor to inflate the tires, instead use a
hand pump. Tires should not be inflated to more than 25PSI, while the
manufacturers rating for the tires is 30PSI this it not recommended as it can
cause tires to un-seat from the rim in some circumstances.

Allen-key to tighten the centre bolt then re-lock the lever (See Photo B #1). Repeat as necessary until the
handlebars do not move when locked. Be sure to test everything is tight before riding.
