qAdjusting the Brakes

Tools required: 5mm Allen wrench

WARNING:

Always disconnect your electric motorbike from the charger before cleaning with liquid.

Note: If your charger does not look like the one illustrated, your unit has been supplied with an alternative charger. The specifications and charging procedure would not change.

The charger has a small window with one LED to indicate the charge status. Refer to the illustration on the charger unit for the actual “charging” and “charged” status indications for your model charger.

Chargers have built-in over-charge protection to prevent battery from being over-charged.

Charger will get warm during use. This is normal for some chargers and is no cause for concern. If your charger does not get warm during use, it does not mean that it is not working properly.

Be sure to properly align the groove on the charger input plug with the corresponding socket on the case; otherwise, no charging action will occur.

WARNING:

The brake is capable of causing the electric motorbike to skid the tire throwing an unsuspecting rider. Practice in an open area free from obstacles until you are familiar with the brake function. Avoid skidding to a stop as this can cause you to lose control or damage the rear tire.

1To adjust the tension, thread the brake lever adjuster in or out 1/4 to 1/2 turn until the desired brake adjustment is attained. Most adjustments are complete at this step. If brake still needs further adjustment, proceed to step 2 for rear brake.

2If the brake has too much slack, loosen the rear anchor bolt with a 5mm Allen wrench and pull the brake wire tighter. The distance of the brake wire between the end of the cable and the anchor bolt should be between 37mm and 44mm.

3If the brake rotor is dragging on the brake pads, use your fingers to twist the caliper adjuster in either direction until rotor is cen- tered between pads.

qTesting the Brakes

To use the brakes, squeeze the levers to increase the pressure on the brake. The brake levers are fitted with a cable adjuster to compensate for cable stretch and/or to fine-tune the lever movement to brake engagement. If brakes are not engaging properly, follow instructions for adjusting the brakes outlined below.
