Riding the Electric Juggernaut
NOTE: Refer to Rungu Electric Juggernaut Best Practices (on your USB drive and online) for more
information on how to get the best experience with the Rungu Electric Juggernaut.
Electric Juggernaut Operation Cautions
1.
DO NOT use FULL throttle for prolonged periods of time. This will result in excessive heat
buildup in the motor, throttle and batteries. Think about what would happen to your car if you
redlined it for prolonged periods of time... It will not last very long. Do not abuse your system,
and it will last you a long time!
2.
DO NOT cruise long distances over 80% of the stated top speed due to heat buildup in the
components. For instance, if your Rungu
’s
top speed is 30mph, do not cruise over 24 mph. This
is a rule of thumb to prolong the life of your system.
3.
NEVER fully rely on the motor for power when climbing, riding in sand, or riding in deep snow.
Pedal along to assist the motor. This will increase range and prolong the life of the components
4.
DO NOT operate in excessive heat (over 100 degrees Fahrenheit) for a prolonged period of time.
Doing so may result in excessive heat buildup and some components may shut down due to
thermal protection.
5.
If you notice a decrease in performance or abnormal operation, cease electrical operation
immediately. Failure to do so may result in damage to electrical components.
6.
DO NOT apply the brakes abruptly when going downhill as this may result in loss of control. Use
consistent, gradual braking.
7.
NEVER use the throttle and brake at the same time. Doing so will potentially damage the
controller and the bike itself due to the immense rotational forces of the motor.
8.
ALWAYS help your system out by pedaling up steep inclines and through deep snow and sand. If
you hear your motor struggling or your system is going less than 5 mph at full throttle, either
help out by pedaling more, or simply get off your Rungu and walk it.
WARNING: Standard Bearer Machines and Hi Power Cycles will not be responsible for burnt motors
due to willful neglect.
9.
Ride the Rungu at a level and speed you are comfortable with. Do not push the boundaries of
your skill level or the Rungu!
10.
NEVER jump with the Juggernaut. The Juggernaut is designed for moderate bumps but jumping
your Rungu can lead to serious injury and/or damage!
11.
ALWAYS follow local laws regarding your Electric Juggernaut LE; make sure to program your
system to federal legal limits when riding on public roads or property.
