INTENDED USE

V-CLA-MK3-1 www.emubikes.com

2. INTENDED USE

Your new Emu electric bike or EPAC (Electronically Power Assisted Cycle) is built in

accordance with BS EN 15194:2017 which means it has specific and regulated

characteristics. EPACs have an auxiliary electric motor which will only provide

assistance when the pedals are propelled by the rider. When the pedals are not

turning, the electric motor will stop providing assistance.

The level of electric assistance given by the motor varies and can be selected by the

controls on the display. Pedal assistance is provided up to a max of 15.5mph (25km/h).

The only time your Emu bike will provide electric assistance without the pedals turning

is when using ‘walk mode’. This is designed to give assistance (up to a speed of

3.7mph or 6km/h) when starting up the bike or pushing the bike up a hill.

The bike, its components, motor and electrical system is designed predominantly for

leisure use and commuting on roads and light trails. Use outside of these conditions

could lead to damage to the bike, risk of injury and will void the warranty.

The bike has a maximum permissible total weight (rider weight + luggage) of 120kg.

Information on your bike can be found on the frame sticker at the bottom on the seat

tube.

Understanding Pedal Assistance

1. The front hub electric motor will smoothly kick in as you start to pedal with a

barely audible sound. When setting off for the first time, use the lowest level of

pedal assistance.

2. The power assistance provided by the motor enables you to cycle longer

distances and with minimum eﬀort to enjoy a comfortable, sweat

‐

free ride, yet

ll arriving at your destination faster than a normal bike. If you add your own

pedalling power, you can gain a physical work

‐

out and take even more

me oﬀ

your journey.

3. The power

‐

assist func

on kicks in once you start pedalling and stops shortly

aft

er you stop pedalling and immediately upon braking.

4. In accordance with EU regulations, the motor is restricted to giving amaximum

output of 250 watts. The maximum speed permitted is 15.5mph (25km/h).

5. The motor is maintenance

‐

free and any work should only be performed by a

recommended specialist cycle workshop. Contact us for advice and

inform

ati

on. Any work done on the motor or electrical parts by a non

‐

recommended cycle shop will void the warranty.

Battery and Battery Care

Before first use, ensure the battery is fully charged

using only the supplied battery charger, charge the

battery. The light indicator on the charger will

remain red until it is fully charged when it will turn

green. Do not leave the battery charging once fully charged.

The lights on the battery indicate the state of

charge. Press the button on the battery:

•Blue = fully charged

•Green = 50%+ charge

•Red = No charge

To fit the battery to the bike,

slide the top end of the battery

in first (button is at the bottom),

then slide the bottom in until

you hear an audible click, and the battery is locked in place.

To remove the battery, whilst holding the supplied key turned in the

lock, pull the bottom on the battery first then remove the whole

battery.

Your battery will operate most efficiently in temperatures

between 10-30˚C. Use outside this range may cause a

temporary loss of capacity, especially in lower temperatures

and winter months.

Please note that your battery

will age over time whether in

use or not, which may result in

reduced range. To maintain

maximum possible range, see

care instructions below.

Always follow

instructions contained

on the label of the battery and

battery charger.

Do not leave the battery

plugged in once it is

fully charged.

Only charge the battery

with the supplied

charger. Do not use any other

manufacturer.

Lithium-ion batteries

can heat up. Do not

cover the battery or the

charger. Never leave your

battery in direct sunlight.

Charge in cool, dry room.

A battery that is

improperly

mounted may provide

intermitted power.

Always check the

battery is locked in

place with an audible

click.

Correct care and storage:

When not in use, store your battery at room

temperature at an approximate charge of

between 30-60%. Fully charge before each

use. Regular charging is best for

maintaining a long service life.

4. GETTING TO KNOW YOUR EMU

Stem, Handlebar & Display angle

1. Stem angle –To adjust the tilt on the Emu quill stem you need to loosen the

single bolt located underneath the stem. Once the bottom bolt is loosened you

can adjust the angle of the stem to a more flat or upright riding position.

Retighten the bolt securely to the recommended torque.

2. Handlebar angle –To adjust the angle of the handlebars, loosen the

handlebar bolts using the 5mm Allen key and move the handlebars to a

comfortable riding position. Tighten the bolts to 10Nm

3. Display –Loosen the handlebar display clamp

screw with the 3mm hex key and adjust the

handlebar display position as necessary. Tighten

the screw securely to 2-3Nm.

4. Brake lever angle –Loosen the brake lever

clamp screw with the 5mm hex key to adjust the

brake lever position. The rider’s ﬁngers, hand and

lower arm should be in a straight line when sitting

on the saddle. Tighten screw to 6-8Nm. The bell is

integrated into the brake lever.

Storage of your battery fully

charged or fully discharged for

extended periods can shorten the life

of your battery.

Long periods without charging

may shorten the life of your

battery (even with no use a battery life

reduces with time).

Do not loosen the bolts on

the side of the stem;

these are pivot points and allow

the stem to tilt up and down.

Overtightening the display

mount bolt may break the

mount. Do not overtighten.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR EMU

Saddle & Seat Post

1. Saddle height –To adjust the saddle

height, loosen quick release clamp and

slide the post up or down. Ensure the

post is extended no further than the

maximum mark shown on it. Tighten the

quick release to finger tight. Do not

move the saddle beyond the minimum

insert line as this will damage the bike

or cause potential injury.

2. Saddle angle –The bike saddle is supported underneath by a ‘holder’. The

holder allows you to slide the saddle forward or backwards. Use the 8mm

Allen key to loosen the clamp that secures the saddle to the seat post. After

positioning the saddle correctly, re-tighten the bolt to 20Nm. The seat clamp

also allows you to raise or lower the nose of the saddle. Set this initially so the

saddle is horizontal. Once you have ridden a few miles you may wish to adjust

the nose for improved comfort.

Pedals

1. Look closely at the pedal axles, you should see a small ‘R’and ‘L’for the

‘right’and ‘left’(when sitting on the bike).

2. Choose the appropriate pedal for each side and insert it into the correct crank

arm, turn the pedal axle towards the front of the bike (both pedals thread in

this direction, so the left pedal turns anti-clockwise, and the right pedal turns

clockwise). If it doesn’t turn easily, do not force it. Check you have the correct

pedal and are inserting it level at 90°to the crank

3. Thread both pedals into the crank arm as far as you can by hand. Then fully

tighten to 30Nm using the 15mm spanner.

4. Pedals are assigned to left and right, they are not interchangeable.

Do not move the saddle

beyond the minimum

insert line as this will damage

the bike or cause potential

injury.

Always ensure the saddle

is clamped within its limits

indicated on the rails.

Bottom Bracket & Cranks

1. Chainrings –these are subject to wear; their service life depends on various

factors such as maintenance, type of use and distance travelled. Always

check for wear and tear.

2. Cranks –must be securely fastened as this could otherwise damage the

crank set. Cranks can come loose which is why you should regularly check

whether they are securely fastened by attempting to rock them to and from

the frame. If there is play in the cranks, have the bike checked and the cranks

fastened securely by a professional bike workshop.

Brakes

Pulling the left brake lever engages the rear brake and the right lever engages the front

brake.

Check the brakes:

•Test the brakes by pulling the levers while standing over the bike. Push the

bike forwards, the front wheel should not move, and the bike should tip

forwards. Pull the bike backwards, the rear wheel should not move and the

bike tip backwards.

•The gap between the brake block and the rim should be roughly 1 mm.

•If required, you can readjust the rebound force via the spring adjustment

screws so that both brake arms move symmetrically.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR EMU

V-CLA-MK3-1 www.emubikes.com

•Once you have done this, check that the brake is working

properly

Adjusting the brake with brake cable adjusting bolt:

•If the brake is not working properly or the travel distance of

the brake lever is too great, you can adjust the brake using

the cable adjusting bolt on the brake lever.

•Turn the cable adjustment bolt to

adjust the clearance between the

brake pad and the rim.

•Turn the bolt inwards (clockwise) to

increase the brake pad clearance.

•Turn the bolt outwards

(anticlockwise) to reduce the brake

pad clearance.

•The clearance between the brake

blocks and rim should be approximately 1mm.

Wear of brake pads:

•Most brake pads for rim brakes come with grooves or notches. If these

grooves are worn and can no longer be seen, this is normally a sign that the

brake pad is worn.

•Do not ride your bike if the brake pads are worn. Have them replaced by a

professional bike workshop instead.

•Check the brake blocks regularly for signs of wear.

•If notches or grooves are no longer visible, it is normally a sign that the brake

pad is worn and needs to be replaced (image below).

•Have them replaced by a professional bike workshop.

Test your brakes away

from public roads before

first use and if you are not

familiar with them.

Contact points with high

amounts of friction (e.g.,

brakes) can become hot

after heavy use. Do not touch

after heavy use.
