01 THANK YOU www.eProdigyBikes.com

As with any sport, there are risks that a cyclist may be exposed to while riding any bike. There is a chance of incurring injury or damage, by acknowledging these potential dangers and choosing to ride, the rider assumes responsibility for taking the potential risks associated with the act. It is then important to acquaint and familiarize yourself with the practice of safe, responsible riding and proper bike maintenance and use.

This manual contains numerous “cautions” and “warnings”, please pay attention to these as they directly impact either the proper use of the bicycle, avoiding potentially hazardous situations, or general safety. The WARNING labels must be paid special regard to, failure to do so may result in serious injury or death.

WARNING indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in serious injury or death.

CAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury, or is an alert against unsafe practices.

CAUTION used without the safety alert symbol indicates a situation which, if not avoided, could result in serious damage to the bicycle or rendering your warranty void.

04 USER PRECAUTION

RIDING BEYOND YOUR SKILL LEVEL IS DANGEROUS

Your eProdigy eBike can be fun when used responsibly for exercise, transportation and recreation. But riding a electric bicycle also has its risk, especially if you try to ride beyond the limits of your ability or beyond the design of your bicycle.

The skill of a bicycle rider can vary greatly, just like the skill of a skier or automobile driver. It takes a higher level of skill to ride at high speed, close to obstacles, or other riders.

Riding close to other riders includes pack riding and drafting (following in another rider's slipstream to reduce wind resistance). A partial list of objects and obstacles includes curbs, drain grates, railroad tracks, debris, pavement joints, road markings (reflectors or paint), pot holes and parked or moving cars.

In any situation, do not ride in a manner that exceeds the limits of YOUR ability.

USER PRECAUTION

If you misuse your bicycle, it can be damaged by stress or fatigue. Any damage can drastically reduce the life of the frame, fork, or other components. Our bicycles are made to withstand the predictable stresses of "normal" riding. However, we cannot predict the forces that might occur in a crash or other extreme conditions.

WARNING—The following riding practices apply high stress, increase the risk of damage to your bicycle, and increase the risk of injury to the rider:

www.eProdigyBikes.com

BICYCLES HAVE LIMITS

These practices stress every part of your bicycle. Parts or frames under high stress may fatigue prematurely, causing them to break and increasing the risk of injury to the rider. Avoid these riding practices to decrease your risk of injury.

The first rule in safe cycling is to recognize these limits and use common sense. Cars and bicycles share some limits: even a car can be damaged by driving it in abusive conditions or running into an obstacle.

IMPACT CAN WEAKEN YOUR BICYCLE

If you expirience a major impact, inspect your bicycle thoroughly and repair any damage before you ride it again.

A major impact is anything that causes you to fall from your bike. If you are not sure how to do a thorough inspection, take your bicycle to your dealer for service. A minor impact, where you hit an obstacle without falling from your bike, can still place high stresses on your bicycle. If, after a minor impact, your bicycle behaves in an unusual manner or you hear an unusual noise, immediately stop the bicycle and identify the problem.

05 USER PRECAUTION www.eProdigyBikes.com

Always inspect the bicycle thoroughly and repair any problem before riding the bicycle.

BICYCLES DO NOT LAST FOREVER

Over time bicycle parts will require maintenance or replacement. If your use of a bicycle increases the forces on it through hard riding, difficult conditions, or increased mileage, the forces on your bicycle also increase.

The lifespan of a part is determined by its construction, materials, use, maintenance, rider weight, speed, terrain, maintenance, and environment factors such as humid-ity, salinity and temperature. Therefore, it is not possible to establish a finite schedule for the replacement of each part. Instead, inspect your bicycle frequently and if you suspect a part has reached the end of its useful and safe life, replace the part and dispose of it. If you do not feel comfortable inspecting your bicycle, consult your dealer.

Proper inspection and routine maintenance of your eProdigy bike is essential to your safety. Inspect your bicycle frequently, and follow a regular maintenance schedule. Make sure your bike fits you properly, being comfortable means better performance. Check the brakes and tire pressure often, and keep the chain and the cogset clean and lubricated. It is preferable that you take your electric bike to a local authorized dealer for a full tune up every few weeks or after the 1st 100km of riding. Cables on brand new bikes tend to stretch and will require adjustments after a few rides.

Be aware of your cities cycling rules and regulations. Obey traffic laws and ensure that you have a helmet, bell, front and rear lights. It is recommended to plan your route ahead of time and try to avoid major roads for a safer and more pleasant journey.

Educate yourself on how to overcome an emergency repair like a broken spoke or chain. In any situation, do not ride in a manner that exceeds the limits of your ability.

Nuts, bolts and other fasteners

Manufacturers use a variety of fastener sizes in a range of materials so a specific tightness cannot be general-ized. Certain bolts or fasteners require a calibrated torque wrench. We recommend taking the bike to a experienced mechanic to have it professionally main-tained.

before each ride check that:

All nuts, bolts or fasteners are secured

Tires are pumped and in good shape -spin each wheel to look for cuts in the tread or -sidewall, replace if needed

The wheels are true -spin each wheel and make sure there is brake clearance and no side-to-side wobble -If there is even a slight wobble or contact with the break pads, your bike wheel is not properly aligned. Take it to a bike shop to have it trued

Wheel rims are clean and undamaged

ABOUT THE BATTERY

General Overview

eProdigy bikes are proudly powered by Lithium Ion Cells produced by Dr. Battery®, a leader in producing innovative, sustainable power technologies.

Li-Ion batteries do not have a memory effect, which means the battery’s maximum energy capacity is not affected if it is repeatedly recharged after only being partially discharged. Complete drainage is not required before charging. This characteristics and their ability to hold a charge for long periods while maintaining a high energy density making them ideal for driving portable equipment. Through it’s life cycle, as with all batteries, the Li-Ion cell will deteriorate from 100% capacity at full charge to approximately 80% over 800 cycles.

11 ABOUT THE BATTERY www.eProdigyBikes.com

Battery Maintenance

Very little maintenance is required, however there are some key steps listed here to ensure the optimal performance of your battery and the longest life span possible (approx. 2 years or 800 charge cycles).

WARNINGeProdigy will not be held liable for battery breakdown caused by improper care or misuse including, but not limited to opening the battery case. Battery damage due to user mishandling or neglect voids all warranty and product liability claims.

Storage

The battery should be stored in temperatures between 10˚C (50˚F)~ 25˚C (77˚F) and never colder than -10˚C (14˚F) or over 45˚C (113˚C). Exposing your battery to extreme temperature fluctuations or humidity will severely reduce battery life and potentially cause corrosion.

Charging and Handling Your Battery We recommend charging your battery with an eProdigy charger at room temperature after every ride, preferably when the battery is at less then 50% charge. If it has been exposed to cold temperatures, wait until it becomes warmed to about 20˚C before charging.

Before connecting charger to AC outlet, it is advised you connect the charger to the battery prior or damage to the charger and battery can result

Note

WARNINGDo not over discharge the battery or leave it shelved for more than three months without charge. If this happens, the battery will enter a “deep sleep” mode where the voltage drops below 1.5V. There is no waking the battery from deep sleep. This is a lack of maintenance on behalf of the user, not covered under warranty.

To prevent this, always leave your battery with a 50% charge if it is to be stored for more than 3 months.

We recommend charging your battery a minimum of once every three months. When charging, keep both the battery and charger away from heat sources or flammable materials. Do not leave a charging battery unattended. Do not leave your battery to charge over-night as it may result in overheating.

Ensure that all the connections are secure. Allow 4-6 hours for a full charge. A full charge lasts approxi-mately 50km depending on your route and terrain. For longer trips, bring along the charger or an additional battery pack.
