ADDITIONAL
INFORMATION
− To prevent the unauthorized use of you e-bike, secure the bike with a lock or remove
the battery when not in use.
− Full suspension bikes have many moving parts. Caution should be used to avoid pinch
points when operating or performing any maintenance on the bike.
− This bike is only intended for one user at a time. Additional users are not permitted
on this bike.
− Baggy clothing should be avoided while riding this bike as excessively baggy clothing
can get caught in chain.
− This bike should not be used to tow any cargo or trailers.
− The 160E is not equipped with any lighting equipment needed for nighttime riding.
We can only recommend daytime operation.
− If riding in traffic, the use of a bell is strongly recommended.
− The 160E is rated to a max system weight of 130Kg and an ASTM 4 rating. Riding in higher
numbered conditions increases the forces on the bicycle and the risk of injury to the rider.
− The water bottle mounting location is only designed to fit a traditional water bottle cage and
bottle. Bolting any other item then what is prescribed above could result in frame damage.
− Be advised, use of a mountain bike will result in vibrations that will transmitted to the
rider. This is inherent to the sport and cannot be avoided.
STORAGE
− Make sure your bike is stored in an area that is free from hazardous conditions that could
damage the bike or cause an obstruction. Extreme heat or cold should be avoided and
any machinery that emits ozone or exhaust should not be near your bike when stored.
− Avoid wet conditions that can cause corrosion in certain metal alloys. UV light can
damage or degrade bicycle components and should avoided during storage.
− Properly service your bike prior to long term storage and when riding the first time after
storage. See maintenance schedule in this manual for guidance.
TRANSPORT
Safe transport is critical for protecting the bicycle frame and its components
from damage. Bikes can be awkward to lift, and proper lifting techniques should be used when
loading or unloading your bike. Packing your bike should be done by a certified bike mechanic
when possible. The use of a hard bike case is recommended for the highest level of protection.
If the wheels are removed for transport, make sure the area where the hub and axle were in the
fork and rear triangle is sufficiently supported to avoid damage. If transported inside a vehicle,
make sure all parts of the bike that contact the vehicle are padded properly. When transporting
on the outside of the vehicle, make sure the bike is not exposed to hot exhaust or debris that
can impact the bike while moving.
CLEANING
The best way to wash your bike is with a soft brush and rag, using soapy water or a mild cleaner
such as Motorex Bike Clean or equivalent. Do not use harsh detergents or directly pressure
wash any of the bearings, hardware or seals.
BATTERY SAFTEY
− The Shimano battery is waterproof but do not submerse it in water or directly spray any
electronic components with water − If the battery becomes damaged it must not be
charged, used, or transported.
− In case of a battery fire, only use class D fire extinguisher to extinguish the flames.
− Only charge the battery with certified Shimano STEP’s battery chargers.
− Only use the approved Shimano battery in the bicycle.
− See STEPS user manual for further safety information. https://www.shimanosteps.com/
