This operation manual is designed to give you the
information you need for the safe operation and
maintenance of your new Hover-1 Fuel (referred to as
“Fuel” from here on). Please read it thoroughly before
riding your Fuel.
The Fuel is a pedal-assisted bicycle. Our technology and
production processes are developed with strict testing
for each Fuel. Operating the Fuel without following the
contents of this manual may lead to damage to your
Fuel, or bodily injury.
PACKAGE CONTENTS
• Hover-1 Fuel Pedal-assisted Bicycle
• Battery Pack
• Charge Cable
• Operation Manual
• Wall Charger
The Fuel is not a toy. Do not ride the Fuel with reckless
abandon and always keep in mind the safety of you
and of those around you.
Your Fuel's serial number is stamped respectively on
steering column and battery column. Record the serial
number in this manual in the event that your Fuel is lost

before riding your Fuel. Failure to do so, or
failure to follow its guidelines could lead to
serious injury or death.
INTRODUCTION
• This manual contains detailed information and
useful suggestions about your Fuel.
• Make sure that you understand the proper use,
maintenance, and care of the electrical system and
all other components of the of your Fuel.
• The user of this Fuel acknowledges both an
understanding and an assumption of the risks
involved in cycling and cycling with cargo.
• Children incapable of riding a bicycle on their own
or under the age of 6 should not ride on the Fuel,
unless it’s equipped with an approved Child Seat
accessory.
• Children should not ride as passengers without an
adult operating the Fuel.
1. Even if you have ridden a bicycle for years, it is
important for all riders to read this operation manual
thoroughly before riding on the Fuel.
• Do not ride the Fuel without the battery pack. The
battery pack must be on the Fuel while riding or else
the Fuel’s motor and safety lights will not function
when needed.
• Do not misuse the Fuel by riding it without a seat.
The Fuel has a quick release on the seat post. If the
seat gets stolen, it may lead to hazardous situations
when riding on the pedal-assisted bicycle without
a seat.
• Standing, kneeling, or sitting backwards or
sideways (both legs on the same side of the Fuel) on
the seat while the Fuel is moving or stopped can
easily result in bodily harm, loss of control of the Fuel,
destroyed rims, a destroyed bicycle frame, or worse.
2. Think about safety. Your safety and that of others is
very important.

• Always check your Fuel for normal operation, loose
parts and defects before riding. If you nd any
problem, contact the customer support center for
repairs before riding.
• Be aware that other road users do not expect that
a pedal-assisted bicycle can ride faster than a
standard bicycle. Riding faster also increases the risk
of accidents.
• Do not ride aggressively. Refer to the “Operation
Conditions” section of this operation manual for
more detailed information.
• Do not over load the cargo rack. The maximum
load weight for the cargo rack on the Fuel is 33.07lbs.
• Double check your load for security and stability.
• Make sure no straps are dangling where they could
get caught in the wheels - No bags, boxes or any
items are in a position where they could be caught in
the spokes.
• Check that your brakes are well adjusted.
• Check to see that your wheels are securely
fastened and that your helmet is securely fastened.
• Check to see that the frame and all components
are cracked or broken. If at any time you notice a
crack or bend in your bike, stem, forks, or bars of your
Fuel , stop riding immediately and contact the
customer support center.
• Do not clean your Fuel with a high pressure washer.
High pressure water might enter through connectors
or other parts of the electric system and could cause
damage or cause the electric system to stop
working correctly.
Instead, clean your Fuel with a damp rag and gently
wipe the frame and other dirty areas, while avoiding
any parts of the electrical system. Any water

attention and care.

• The Fuel is heavier than a standard bicycle. If
transporting on a vehicle, be aware of the maximum
load capacity of the vehicle’s roof, towing hook
and/or of the preferred bicycle carrier.
• Remove the battery pack from the bicycle and
store it elsewhere in the vehicle during your transport.
• Always respect local laws about transportation of
an electric bicycle.
• Lithium battery packs of this size and power are
considered ‘Dangerous goods, class 9’, when
transporting, regulations may restrict the transport of
separate lithium batteries in some places.
The restrictions apply to most airlines and some
trucking companies. But, if you intend to ship or
travel with your complete Fuel (with installed battery
pack), the regulations are less strict. Make sure to
check ahead with your airline or carrier, before
booking your trip, if it is allowed to travel with your
complete Fuel.
4. Be careful when transporting your Fuel.
damage to the electrical system will void the
warranty.
• Protect the battery docking connector. When the
battery pack is removed, apply a protective cover to
prevent corrosion and damage to the connector.
5
• If the Fuel is not to be used for an extended period of
time, you may need to recharge the battery every 2
months to maintain the battery life.
• Ensure that the screws on the front and back tires are
locked rmly before each ride.
• Check to ensure the tires are not worn.
• Check to ensure all connections are maintained on
your Fuel.
• Ensure the brake cables are well lubricated. It is
suggested you lubricate brakes every 6 months.
• Ensure all gears move smoothly.
• Make sure there are no frayed cables, loose
connections, missing fasteners or axle/lug nuts.
CHECKING BRAKES
Your Fuel is equipped with front and rear disc brakes for
maximum reliability. A cable connects the brake handle to
your brakes. Applying hand pressure to the brake handles
will cause the brake pad to apply pressure against the
brake disc, slowing the down wheels. The more hand
pressure applied to the brake handle, the faster the Fuel
will come to a stop.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
GRAB BRAKE
HANDLES TO STOP
DISK BRAKES
When brakes are not applied, brake pads should be 1 - 2
mm from the rotor. If brake pads are too close to the rotor,
the brakes are too tight. The brake pads should be in line
with the rotor surface.
Bicycles equipped with disc brakes will occasionally make
a slight scraping noise when the wheels are turning without
the brakes being applied. This is normal.
The rear brake should always be applied before and while
the front brake is applied. Applying only the front brake to
slow or stop at high speeds may result in the rider being
ejected from the seat and potentially forward over the
handlebars. It is best to apply even pressure to both brake
handles when slowing or stopping.
Pull the lever to ensure the brake moves freely and stops
the Fuel. If the lever can be pulled at to the handlebar,
the brake is too loose.
Brakes will wear down over time. If the brakes do not
perform well, they may need to be adjusted or to have
the pads replaced. To have your bicylce hardware tted
and maintained contact your local bike specialist.
6
Brake pads and rotors get very hot during use and
could burn skin. The edges can also be very sharp
and cut skin. Do not touch the brake pads or rotors
directly after riding your Fuel.
CAUTION
Proper use of your brake is vital to ensure safe,
eicient stopping. To avoid misuse and potential
injury, do not apply sudden or excessive force to
your brakes. Apply your brakes gradually and give
yourself enough room to come to a complete stop
safely.
