Safe Riding

Local Riding Laws

Most state and local areas have specific laws for cyclists. Please check with your local Department of Motor Vehicles. Again, these E-Bikes are not considered motor vehicles, but may be subject to additional regulation based on the state you live in. Some of the common laws include mandatory lights and reflectors on the bikes.

Safety Precautions

Be sure to ride an appropriate distance away from cars, pedestrians, and other obstacles. In addition, avoid potholes, drain grates, and other imperfections in the road which may affect your ability to ride.

  • OBEY all traffic laws relevant to the operation of bicycles and E-Bikes.
  • KEEP both hands on the handlebars at all times and do not hang objects from the handlebars.
  • RIDE predictably and in a straight line. Never ride against traffic.
  • USE the correct hand signals when turning or stopping. If you do not know the proper hand signals, it is important you learn them before riding on the road.
  • USE extreme caution when you are near other vehicles. Ride defensively and assume that other people on the road do not see you. Be careful at intersections when starting from a stopped position.
  • DO NOT suddenly brake in the rain or on slippery surfaces.
  • WEAR a helmet for your protection and bright or reflective clothing to make you more visible.
  • DO NOT wear loose clothing because it can get caught in the bicycle.

Varying Riding Conditions

Be cautious when riding in wet conditions.  Wet conditions offer your E-Bike less traction than dry conditions.  This applies specifically to the brakes on the bike; they will not perform as well as they do in dry climates. Be sure to break earlier because it will take a longer distance to come to a full stop. Ride at a slower speed and try to be more visible.

Check Before Riding

Before operating your E-Bike, inspect it carefully for any damage or defects.  You should inspect your E-Bike completely before each ride.  Do not turn your E-Bike on until you are ready to ride.  Turning the power on and then accidentally pushing the throttle can result in the E‐Bike lurching forward and may cause an accident, damage, or injury.

If the battery was removed, place the battery back into its correct location and lock it in place.  Remove the key from the battery after locking it in place. Check to see that the battery is fully charged (battery level indicated on screen) before riding and check the air pressure of the tires (around 50 psi). Be sure to test the front and back brakes, the condition of the handlebars and the front and back wheels.  Make sure that everything is fastened, tightened (front and rear wheel) secure and all the safety locks are in place. Be sure to check that all quick releases are locked and in good working condition.

 

 

 

Starting From a Stop

As the bike starts, accelerate slowly; do not try to get to your maximum speed right away.  The E-Bike is heavier than a normal bike making it harder to start.  When coming to a complete stop, it is recommended shifting to a low gear.  The lower gear the bike is in, the easier it will be to pedal the bike.  Do not shift the gears while the bike is not being peddled which could result in damage to the chain.  The throttle may also be used to help you start from a complete stop.  Be careful to not twist and hold the throttle.  This will lead to the bike jerking forward which could cause you to lose control.

Battery Life

As you continue to ride, the battery will decrease based on the amount of power you are using. As the battery decreases, the bar will go down one by one. If the bar goes out completely, you can still pedal your E-Bike just like a regular bike. Be sure to charge your battery when you get to an electrical outlet. To get the best distance out of your electric bike, refrain from excessive stop and go braking and coast as much as possible.

User Guidance

Pedal Assistance

Your pedal assist will start once you start to pedal and stop once you stop pedaling. You are able to adjust the amount of assistance on the LCD screen by adjusting the UP/DOWN button. (See the LCD manual) If you do not want any assist, you may set it to 0 and no assist will be given. If the hand brakes are applied, the pedal assist will cut automatically. Do not turn the power off when going downhill.

Gears

There are 7 external gears on your bicycle. The gears are located on the right side of your handlebars. In order to shift between gears, simply move the shifter up and down until you find a suitable gear to ride in.

Battery and Charging

The battery supplied is the top-quality Lithium Battery and was designed specifically for this electric bicycle. The battery is sealed safely within the frame of the bike to ensure no damage can come to it.  Your battery should be recharged after each use.

Be sure to fully charge the battery before the first use.

The range in distance on a full charge is approximately 30 – 50 miles depending on your weight class, weather, and terrain. Higher weight classes and uneven surfaces will require more power than lighter weights and flatter surfaces.

Battery performance is affected by temperature.  The battery will perform better in warmer temperatures. When the temperature is below 32°F (0°C), the battery current may decrease by 1/3. Consequently, the travel range in cold environments is less than in warmer environments but the battery will return to normal when the battery returns to room temperature.

Frequent braking/starting, riding uphill/against strong winds, starting from a standstill, or riding on rough/muddy roads will consume extra power and shorten the range.

Here are a few tips to prolong the battery life under these conditions:

Frequent braking/starting – try to look ahead and coast rather than stop and go frequently.

Riding uphill/against strong winds – pedal to supplement the battery power.

Starting from a standstill – use pedals to help bring you up to speed, not just the

throttle.

When the battery meter indicates low power remaining, switch to manual power and avoid using the battery.

If the bicycle is being stored, remove the battery, and recharge it every month.

Excel Power Bikes is not responsible for any damages caused by use of other products not specifically designed and tested for use with this electric bicycle.

The battery chargers contain sensitive electronics. Improper use, dropping, or sudden jolts can damage the charger and its internal electronics.

The standard 120V wall outlet in most homes is sufficient power to charge the battery.

The light on the battery will appear RED to show that is not full. A full recharge typically takes 5– 6 hours. When the battery is full, the light will change from red to GREEN. You can continue to charge for 1 – 2 more hours after it turns green. Unplug the power source from the battery and then from the electrical outlet. Store the charger in a cool, dry place.

NOTE: After the light turns green, the charger is in “trickle charge.” This means that if plugged in, it will continue to charge slowly and maintain the charge. Doing this will not harm the battery. For safety and long battery life, unplug the battery if you are going to be gone for an extended period of time.

Do not leave the charger plugged into the battery for more than 10 hours to avoid overcharging and potential damage to the battery.

Using your power source incorrectly or leaving the charger connected to the battery and an outlet for extended periods of time may result in a fire.  Always be sure to avoid overcharging.

When charging, the charger will become warmer. Be sure to keep the charger away from any flammable objects. On a normal charge cycle, the charger may reach temperatures up to 185°F (85°C).

PRECAUTIONS while charging:

ALWAYS use the charger according to the instructions.

DO NOT use any charger other than the one that came with your E-Bike. If you need a replacement, please contact Excel Power Bikes Customer Service.

DO NOT attempt to open or repair your charger if it is malfunctioning.

AVOID any contact with liquids when charging your battery. If a plug or socket gets wet, dry it completely before using.

DO NOT put anything on top of the charger while charging to allow proper ventilation.

DO NOT bump, drop, or damage the charger.

BE SURE to keep out of the reach of children

IF you smell a peculiar smell or the temperature is too high, stop charging immediately by disconnecting the charger from the wall.

Maintenance

Wheels

Wheels should be centered in the fork or dropouts. If you hear any irregular noises from the wheels or brakes, the wheels should be checked and repaired. Regularly check the bolts of the wheels for tightness. The wheels should rotate smoothly without wobbling from side to side.

Check the bearing play of the hubs by lifting the bicycle and spinning the wheel; it should continue to spin for several turns after you remove your hand. To check the play of the hubs, try to move the wheel from side to side between the forks. If you detect any substantial movement, or if the wheel is difficult to turn, the bearings must be adjusted or replaced. Please contact a local bicycle dealer to have the hub bearings adjusted by an authorized dealer.

Rims

Your rims should always be smooth and without cracks. If there are any breaks, bulges, cracks, or general imperfections have it repaired immediately.

Tires

It is recommended that your tire pressure is at least 45 psi.

Before every ride, make sure that the tires are inflated according to the pressure on the sidewall. Improper tire pressure will make riding more difficult, cause excessive wear, and will result in the premature failure of the tire. The tires should be properly seated in the rim. The fitting of the tire bead and rim bead should be checked regularly. If the tube is pinched between the rim and the tire, the tube will pop and create a hole in your tire. Make sure that the tire is not cracked or worn unevenly and that it is without bulges. Also be sure to check the valve stem to see if it is straight in the rim. Irregular tires should be replaced immediately.

Bike Frame and Handlebars

Before each ride ensure that the middle of the bike frame and the handlebars are straight and in the locked position. Be sure to double check the safety locking clasp of each to ensure nothing will be moving on your ride. If there are issues with the locking clasps or collapse points are showing movement, do not ride and immediately bring to bicycle dealer for repair.

Brakes

Riding with brakes and cables that are worn or damaged, or wheels in poor condition, may result in losing control of your bicycle. Wet weather may hinder the brake performance. Be sure you allow for more distance to safely stop in the wet or icy conditions. Check before each ride that your brakes are free of obstacles and working properly before operating your bicycle.

Battery

Never attempt to open the Lithium battery in any way. If you are having any issues with the battery, please contact Excel Power Bikes.

General Maintenance

Change the lubricating grease of the front axle, back shaft, and pivot once every three months.

Pour a small amount of mineral oil every half a year into the brake pipe. Be sure to oil the chains and sprockets to keep from rusting and for smooth riding.

When cleaning your electric bike, do not use a steady, direct, stream of water from a hose. Use a wet cloth instead to avoid short circuiting any electric components. Your electric bike has a durable finish and does not need to be waxed. Simply clean with mild detergent and buff to restore its original shine.
