Safety tips
We recommend that you read this Owner’s Manual, and this section regarding safe use of the
bike in particular, before your first ride. Use of the JIVR constitutes assumption of the risks and
dangers associated with the use of any bicycle, motorised or otherwise. JIVR assumes no
responsibility for its dangerous, irresponsible, careless or negligent use. Proper use and regular
care and maintenance help to minimise the possibility of injury or damage to property. We
encourage all riders to always act in a safe and responsible manner and to comply with all
applicable local rules and regulations governing the use of two-wheeled vehicles, including
helmet laws and age restrictions related to the use of bicycles and electric bicycles in particular.
Please note that laws regarding the use of electric bicycles can vary significantly in different
jurisdictions. This has important implications for relevant safety guidelines and permissible
conditions for use, among other issues.
The JIVR is not designed for use in off-road conditions. Dirt, dust, moisture and residue left over
from exposure to the elements and impacts resulting from use in off-road conditions may cause
mechanical issues and compromise a safe rider experience.
Always be sure that the JIVR is in good working order before use. In particular, check to see if
the brakes, wheels and steering are all functioning properly before riding. Ensure that all
movable hinges on the frame are in a fully locked position. Verifying that the height and position
of the seat and handlebars are suitable for the User is also part of a basic safety inspection.
Periodic careful examinations of the frame, tyres, tyre rims, pedals, brake cables and other
important parts of your JIVR should be carried out to identify anything that needs cleaning,
adjustment or repair. The components of your JIVR are subject to wear. If the design life of a
component has been exceeded, it may suddenly fail, potentially causing injury. Any cracks,
scratches, or change in the colouring in highly stressed areas may indicate that the life of the
component is expired and the part should be replaced.
Users should ride the JIVR only when physically comfortable doing so and confident in their
ability to handle the JIVR under normal road and traffic conditions. Do not expose the JIVR to
impact forces not normally associated with the reasonable use of any bike, including jumping off
curbs, off-road biking and high downhill speeds. The minimum usable seat height on JIVR is
77cm and the maximum recommended height is 1m.
Note that the seat post does not come out of the seat arm. The maximum height of the seat is
safe for use. The minimum seat height is reached when it will not go down any further.
Your JIVR is not designed to pull or support any seat or device intended for use by children.
The A-weighted emission sound pressure level at the driver’s ears is less than 70dB(A).

JIVR Safety Essentials
1) Wear a helmet that meets the applicable safety code. Follow the steps, instructions and
suggestions stated in the user manual.
2) Conduct a safety inspection with a specialist regularly.
3) Practice the operation of the product including pedaling, handling, braking and throttling in
advance under safe conditions.
4) Wear a pair of comfortable shoes. Loose clothing or other items may get caught by the
moving parts on your JIVR. Do not wear sandals or pedal with bare feet when riding the JIVR.
5) Use lights and wear bright colors so pedestrians and car drivers can notice you when riding
at night.
6) Protect your eyes by wearing sunglasses when the sunlight creates a glare.
7) Wear safety equipment and use lights to conform to local traffic laws.
8) Do not perform any stunts while riding. Stunts and dangerous actions may damage the JIVR
or cause injuries.
9) Operate the product at the appropriate speed depending on the circumstances. Higher
speeds may increase risks of injury.
10) The maximum rider weight for this product is 100 kg (including
personal belongings).
11) Do not use the JIVR after drinking alcohol or under the influence of intoxicants.
12) Always comply with applicable traffic regulations.
13) The JIVR is not intended for use by children.
14) Use JIVR only as a personal means of transportation in traffic. Make sure, that your JIVR is
not overloaded or exposed to sudden heavy impacts.
15) When you sit on a JIVR for the first time, begin with caution. The electric pedal assistance
system and the sensitivity of the brakes will feel unfamiliar at first, and you will need to get
accustomed to it.

Before you ride
Before using your JIVR, always be sure that:
● The handlebars turn left and right. If the handlebars are extended to the maximum “up”
position, they are locked into place and will not move left and right. The handlebars
must be positioned somewhere between the maximum and minimum height.
Simply adjust the height as needed and use the quick-release mechanism to lock it into
place. Remember that the quick release mechanism is in the locked position when
pointing forward and down.
● The seat is positioned at the appropriate height for the rider.
● All hinges and levers are in a locked position. There are five such levers on the JIVR:
○ In the centre of the handlebars, used to adjust the angle of rider’s grip. It is
locked into place when pressed down.
○ At the base of the steerer, used to regulate the height of the handlebars. The
quick-release mechanism should be facing forward and down.
○ On the right side of the frame, used to enable the folding process. It is locked into
place when moved counterclockwise to match the contours of the frame.
○ Behind the seat arm, just in front of the rear tyre, also used to enable the folding
process. It is locked into place when pressed inward and clicked into position.
○ At the top of the seat arm, used to regulate the seat height. The quick-release
mechanism should be facing forward and downwards in the locked position.
● Both pedals are fully extended in the horizontal position, as needed for riding.
● The brake cable for the rear tyre is arched upward, not downward, and does not interfere
with the operation of the wheel.
Regarding the quick-release mechanisms located at the top of the front wheel fork and seatpost,
if you feel lessening amounts of resistance or little resistance at all over time, the release
mechanism needs adjustment. Contact your JIVR Customer Care Agent to arrange a repair.

Intended Use
JIVR is meant for the personal enjoyment of our customers in conditions that are appropriate for
the use of a motorised bicycle. This includes, but is not limited to, appropriate atmospheric and
road surface conditions. In particular, JIVR is intended for use in urban areas on even paved
surfaces. Use on cobbled streets, grass, dirt or other uneven surfaces is beyond the scope of
this intended use. Commercial use of the JIVR beyond the reasonable limits that may be
expected from personal use may compromise its ability to deliver a safe rider experience and
invalidates the terms of any applicable warranty.
Use of the JIVR in a manner inconsistent with its intended use may create hazards for the User
and reduce its expected service life.
JIVR owners assume responsibility for ensuring that any medical conditions, physical limitations
or health issues do not negatively affect the safe operation of the JIVR. If you have any
questions or doubts about your ability to safely operate your JIVR, please consult a doctor
before attempting to ride it.
Users assume responsibility for ensuring the visibility of the JIVR to others in conditions of low
light or inclement weather.
Proper Maintenance and Normal Wear and Tear
Safe operation of the JIVR may be compromised by a lack of reasonable maintenance.
However, even when properly cared for, components of the JIVR are subject to the influence of
normal wear and tear over time. Continued use of these components after their functionality is
significantly diminished due to wear poses a safety hazard.
Maximum Weight Load
The JIVR uses high-quality materials and is designed to meet demanding standards but, as with
any mechanical device, it is subject to reasonable limitations on the amount of weight and
pressure it can bear while still providing a secure User experience. Exceeding a maximum total
User weight of 100kg or 220lbs may compromise the JIVR’s ability to operate in a safe manner
and invalidates applicable warranties.

Getting Used to Your JIVR
Riding a motorised, pedal-assisted bicycle may take some getting used to, especially for
first-time Users. This is particularly relevant when learning to use the brakes to stop or slow
forward progress while maintaining full control. We recommend that you slowly get the “feel” for
the sensitivity of the brakes and how to activate and deactivate motorised assistance under
controlled conditions, away from traffic or other hazards, before progressing to normal use of
the JIVR.
Always be confident in your ability to safely control the movement of your JIVR.
Alterations and Modifications
Do not make any alterations, modifications or changes to the materials used to make the JIVR,
to its internal components or to any software used in its operation. Any such change may
compromise the JIVR’s safe operation and will invalidate any applicable warranties.
Be sure that these steps have been followed and that all parts of the JIVR are fully extended
and locked into place before its first use.
Returning your JIVR to its folded state is essentially the same process in reverse.

Using your JIVR
The primary feature that distinguishes any EPAC from conventional bicycles is a motor that
assists the rider, thus requiring less physical effort to use. Your JIVR offers three different levels
of assistance, each of which can be easily activated and deactivated by the User.
There are four modes that can be used when riding your JIVR.
● Without the use of any battery-powered assistance, just like a traditional bike.
● The first level of battery-powered assistance is activated by first pressing the blue button
on the outside end of the right handlebar, which enables the motor. Pressing the red
button on the inside of the right handlebar then engages the first level of pedal
assistance. The maximum speed in this mode is 11km/h (6.8 mph).
● The second level of battery-powered assistance is activated by pressing the same red
button again. The maximum speed in this mode is 17km/h (10.5 mph).
● At the highest level of pedal assistance, reached after pressing the red button a third
time, the top of speed of the JIVR is 25km/h (15.6mph), which is the maximum allowed
for EPACs in the European Union. Pressing the red button again while in this mode will
disengage the motor and power-assisted pedalling will stop, returning you to the first
mode on this list.
● When pedal assistance is no longer necessary or you are finished riding, press the blue
button until the light turns off in order to deactivate the motor. Allowing the battery to
remain depleted for extended periods of time will diminish its maximum capacity.
Pressing the red button on the right handlebar cycles through the modes listed above in order.
In other words, each press of the red button takes you one cycle forward until you start over with
no assistance at all.
When using any of the pedal assist modes, you can disable the assistance simply by stopping
pedalling.
The height and positioning of both the seat and the handlebars can adjusted via a quick-release
mechanism that is easily loosened and tightened. When the quick release is pointing forward
and down, it is closed. The lowest possible seat height is 77cm and the highest recommended
height is 1m.
Your JIVR uses Continental Contact 20'' x 1.4'' tyres and 20” rims. You may change or replace
them with commonly available 20” tyres in bike shops and bike repair centres. We recommend
