Tires
1.
We prefer the tire pressure to be set at 30 psi. Out of the box, the pressure is usually
at 10 psi.
2.
Adding 5 pounds at a time, slowly inflate the tires. Ensure that the tire seats evenly on
the rim.
3.
If necessary, using the palm of your hand, push in on the tire where the bead is too far
outside the rim. The rib at the tire bead should be exposed 1-2 mm all around, in an
even fashion.
4.
Add another 5 pounds, and again ensure even seating of the tire.
5.
Repeat this process until the tires reach 30 psi. If the tire looks uneven, remove air
and try to reseat. Painted rims are more slick, and the tire bead can slide during
inflation.

Battery
1.
The batteries arrive in a slightly discharged state
2.
During setup, the batteries have enough power to turn on and tune, and perhaps a
test ride.
3.
Full charge on 48v systems is 54.6v. The system is designed to shut off on low
voltage of around 42v to protect itself
4.
Complete charge time is usually less than 5 hours dependent on environment and
battery status.
5.
The charge port is on the lower right side of battery under a black protective dust cap
6.
We recommend plugging the charger in first to the battery, then to a wall outlet
7.
If you wish, you can use a light timer to control charging of the battery in a 1 hr on 1hr
off interval. This can prevent overcharging, and improve the life of the battery
9.
Display
1.
Videos of the settings are available on our website
2.
Power the bike/display on
3.
Within the first 5 seconds press and hold the M button to the left of the power button
until the settings menu appears.
4.
On the first screen we are concerned with two settings,
System
and
Battery
. Tap the
M button again to allow System to be changed from metric to imperial. Hit M again to
exit out of the change. If you have a 52v based bike, you can change Battery in the
same manner to 52v from 48v.
5.
Use the + key to advance to more and hit M. A password is required here which is
1919 which can be entered with the + - and the M key.
6.
On the Advanced menu, the
Wheel Size
can be set. Due to our larger tires we
normally choose 28 for the 2.8 width, and 29 if you have a 3.5” tire size.
7.
Additionally, the
Speed Limit
can be changed here. 99 KPH is max on this setup
which removes any speed limitations.
8.
Please do not change any other settings. Although if you want to modify
Assist
, you
can do so. Assist just divides up the power levels into larger or smaller chunks.
Whatever the largest number shown is, will be 100%.
Your new Soul Beach Cruiser is now ready to ride.
We recommend checking torque and
adjustment after the first ride, and then again after 20 rides.
