Using Your E-Bike

Please read the following, as it covers how to use your bike and how to fix common issues. There’s also an attachment in this email with photos.

  • Always stand next to your bike when turning it on.
  • In the centre of the handlebars there’s 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. There are three levels: eco, norm and high. Eco gives the least assistance and high gives the most.
  • If this is your first time on an e-bike, we recommend starting on eco and increasing the assistance as you feel comfortable.
  • When stopped for more than 5 to 10 minutes, the bikes turn themselves off to save battery. To turn your bike off yourself, hold down the button on the right hand side of the screen.
  • If you stop somewhere and leave the bikes, please lock them up using the locks provided. Lock them to something sturdy like a bike rack or post, rather than locking the wheel to the frame.
  • The brake on the left of the handlebars is your back brake, and the right is your front brake. They’re hydraulic disc brakes and very powerful, so please use both gently rather than slamming them on.
  • On the right hand side of the handlebars you’ll see a small window showing numbers 1 to 9. These are your gears. Gear 1 is the easiest (for hills) and gear 9 is the hardest (for flat stretches). The thumb lever shifts down towards 1, and the index finger lever behind it shifts up towards 9. Only change gears while you’re pedalling, not when stationary.
  • Use the kickstand on the left hand side of your bike when you stop, and please avoid lying the bikes down.
  • If your bike isn’t working or shows an error code, hop off, turn it off, wait 20 seconds and turn it back on.

Have a great day!
