5. E-bike Basics & Care
5.1 E-bike Basics:
Your Cafe Cruiser e-bike will arrive with an LCD 3-button display installed. The middle button turns on and
off the bike. Simply hold the button down.
It is best practice, for safety, to only turn on your electric bike once you have lifted your leg over the
bike and are straddling the frame. You should turn it on before you begin riding, but only once you
are ready to ride.
It is also best to turn off the bike when you are done riding after you dismount from the seat, but
before you lift your leg over the bike to get off. If you stop to look at something or talk with
someone, please turn off your bike for safety.
Once the bike is powered on, the throttle is active, if pushed it will cause the bike to accelerate.
If PAS is on and at 1 or higher, if the pedals are bumped and move forward when next to or moving
the bike, power will be sent to the motor and the bike will accelerate.
Turning it on and off as described above will minimize the chance of the bike accelerating
unintentionally.
The + button increases pedal assist and the – button decreases pedal assist and can be set to off
if you press the – button when on low.
The headlight is turned on by holding down the + button.
The throttle and pedal assist can be used simultaneously.
You can turn the pedal assist off by pressing the – button past low, until no number is showing,
and ride only using the throttle if you like. The bike pedal assist uses a cadence sensor, which
reacts a little delayed based on the spinning of the pedals. It will take some time to get used to this
and manipulating the motor to engage and disengage when expected takes a little practice. You
can adjust the sensitivity in the display settings.
A quick backpedal or slight engagement of the brake lever instantly stops the motor. You can
adjust the sensitivity of the cadence sensor and other pedal assist settings by referring to the LCD
manual. We also have videos on our website and YouTube channel guiding you through this
process.
NOTE:
◆
DO NOT CHARGE YOUR BATTERY WHEN THE BATTERY’S TEMPERATURE OR THE SPACE IT IS
STORED IN IS BELOW FREEZZING (32 DEGREES F).
