operating instructions.

Additionally, Wattwheels claims no responsibility for any injury or damage

resulting in improper use of any electric bike.

USING THIS MANUAL

This manual contains details of the product, its equipment, and

information on its operation and maintenance. Read it carefully and

familiarize yourself with the Alpine before using it to ensure a safe use and

prevent tragic accidents. This Manual contains many Warnings and

Cautions concerning the safe operation and consequences if safe setup,

operation and maintenance are not performed. All information in this

manual should be carefully reviewed and if you have any questions you

should contact your local retailer immediately.

Because it is impossible to anticipate every situation or condition which

can occur while riding, this manual makes no representations about the

safe use of bicycles under all conditions. There are risks associated with the

use of any bicycle which cannot be predicted or avoided, and which are

the sole responsibility of the rider. You should save this manual, along with

any other documents that were included with your bicycle, for future

reference, however all content in this manual is subject to change or

withdrawal without notice. Visit www.wattwheels.co.nz to download the

latest version. Wattwheels makes every effort to ensure accuracy of its

documentation and assumes no responsibility of liability if any errors or

inaccuracies appear within. Assembly and first adjustment of your Alpine

Bike requires special tools and skills and it is recommended that this

should be done by a trained bicycle mechanic if possible.

LET’S GET STARTED:

1. COMPLETLEY CHARGE THE BATTERY BEFORE THE FIRST USE

(Red light is on when battery is charging, green when fully charged. Approx.

time is around 4-5 hours)

(PLEASE BE CAREFUL NOT TO PRESS THE BRAKES LEVERS WHILE THE

FRONT WHEEL IS NOT INSERTED. DOING SO WILL RESULT IN THE BRAKES

PADS CLAMPING TOGETHER, AND YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO INSERT THE

FRONT WHEEL WITHOUT BLEEDING THE BRAKES IN WHICH YOU WILL

NEED A BIKE WORKSHOP TO PERFORM)

2. ATTACH THE HANDLEBARS

3. ATTACH THE PEDALS

(Beware: The left-hand pedal has a reverse thread. To tighten, please turn

anti-clockwise, right hand pedal is clock-wise))

4. ATTACH THE SEAT POST

5. INSERT THE FRONT WHEEL WITH QUICK RELEASE

6. CHECK ALL SCREWS AND BOLTS ARE TIGHT, SEAT POST THE CORRECT

HEIGHT AND BRAKES WORKING PROPERLY

LCD DISPLAY FEATURES

The image shows the various features and information displayed on the

LCD display. The display is controlled using the 4-button remote mounted

on the left side of the handlebar. For more information on the LCD display

and operation please refer to the relevant section in this document.. This is

also on located online at www.wattwheels.co.nz/manuals

LIGHTS & BACKLIGHTS

To activate the lights (if applicable) and backlight press on/off

button quickly located on the keypad. A little icon should appear above

the speed reading indicating the light is on. To turn off, press on/off

button again.

TRIP/ODO & TIME

To toggle between the modes press the set key to switch between them.

The selected item is underlined

BATTERY DISPLAY CAPCITY

The LCD readout on the handlebar of your Alpine Bike features a battery

capacity gauge (much like the fuel gauge on an automobile). It is

recommended that users stop operating the bike on electric once the bike

starts flashing on the last bar and recharges. Remember you can still ride

without using the electric motor or display!

THROTTLE

The Throttle is located on the left-hand side of the handlebars in the form

of a thumb piece. Please be careful as these throttles are set to operate the

Alpine from stationary so any slight press of this will propel the Alpine

forward. The throttle can be used when taking off from a stationary start,

as a cruise control or just if you’re in need of a break! Please be aware

using the throttle will drain the battery much quicker than normal riding.

Also, the throttle is not designed to climb steep hills. To get the maximum

amount of power from the Alpine on steep gradients select the highest

level of PAS and use the lowest gear.

When using the throttle from a standing start please ensure you start in a

lower gear and low PAS. PAS 0 will not work with the throttle. It needs to

be on 1 or higher. Starting the bike in Level 5 PAS and the highest gear will

put a lot of stress on the motor and can wear out the motor faster

PAS (Pedal assist modes)

Pedal assist modes start from 1 and goes up to 5. PAS level 1 is the first

pedal assist level and will give you some slight assistance. Press the up and

down arrows on the control panel to toggle between the levels. As you

select the higher levels, the assistance will increase with level 5 basically

doing all the work for you. Using higher levels of PAS will drain the battery

faster. The recommended level is PAS 1-3 to ensure good battery life.

Note- PAS 0 means no assistance from the motor and you would have this

on if you wanted to ride without assistance but measure km/speed etc.

BRAKES

The Alpine electric bikes are equipped Shimano MT400 hydraulic disk

brakes. Please be aware the hydraulic disk brakes are very strong, so care is

to be taken when braking initially when getting familiar with the bike. The

front wheel brake is located on right hand side with the rear wheel brake

on the left. For riders which prefers the brakes the other way around please

get your nearest bike shop to switch over if required.

WALK MODE

To activate walk mode press the + button down for three seconds and the

bike will slowly propel itself forward at a walking pace around 6km/r

SUSPENSION

The Alpine bike is equipped with Solo Air Silver TK 30 Front suspension

forks. When buying your bike the retailer will set the bike to your

requirements. For more information on these and the correct Sag check

out the following video

SHIFT SENSOR

On our mid-drive bikes we have included a shifter sensor which is

designed to protect the motor system and allow quieter, smoother gear

changes. The system works by cutting the motor for a split second when

changing gears therefore allowing a smoother gear change and puts less

stress on the chain and motor system. For some people they may prefer to

disconnect this system to get a slightly better response when changing

gears. Please contact your local e-bike store if you wish to get this

disconnected or Wattwheels directly.

TYRE PRESSURE

To avoid flats, keep tire pressure at the recommended PSI. On off-road

terrain a slightly lower PSI will provide more grip, but flats can occur riding

at a lower PSI. We recommend a pressure of between 35-60PSI

DRIVING RANGE

The range of your Alpine Bike is the distance the bike will travel on a single

full charge of battery pack. The range values in this manual are estimates

based on expected usage characteristics. Some of the factors which effect

range include changes in elevation, speed, payload, and acceleration,

number of starts and stops and ambient air temperatures. Tyre pressure

and terrain are also important variables to consider.

We suggest that you ride conservatively when you first get your Alpine

Bike to get to know your bike and travel routes.

Once you become familiar with the range requirements of your travel

routes, and the capabilities of your Alpine Bikes you can then adjust your

riding characteristics if you so desire.

The following table provides general estimates and outlines various factors

effecting range and their combined estimated effects on range. This table

is meant to help owners understand the factors that can increase of

decrease range, but Wattwheels makes no claims to the range that

individual users might obtain. The battery gauge located on the display it

is good to note the the 1st two bars typically drop faster than the

remaining bars. If this happens don’t be alarmed as this is normal as is due

to the BMS (battery management system) we use in the bikes. As

mentioned, it is good to do a few smaller rides first to get familiar with the

bike and the range you can get depending on what settings you have the

bike on.

ADJUSTING THE SEAT HEIGHT

Use the quick release lever to free the seat post and pull upwards or push

downwards to reach

desired height.

Notice: Ensure seat post and seat are properly adjusted before riding. Do

not raise the seat post

beyond the minimum insertion marking etched into the seat post tube. If

your seat post projects

from the frame beyond these markings, the seat post or frame may break,

which could cause you

to lose control and fall. Prior to first use, be sure to tighten the seat clamp

properly. A loose seat

clamp or seat post binding bolt can cause damage to the bicycle or can

cause you to lose control or

fall. Periodically check to make sure these the seat clamp is properly

tightened.

RIDER COMFORT

To obtain maximum comfort, the rider should not overextend his or her

arms reach when riding. In order to obtain the most comfortable riding

position and offer the best possible pedaling efficiency, the seat height

should be set correctly in relation to the rider’s leg length. The correct

saddle height should not allow leg strain from over extension, and the hips

should not rock from side to side when pedaling. While sitting on the

bicycle with one pedal at its lowest point, place the ball of your foot on

that pedal. The correct saddle height will allow the knee to be slightly bent

in this position.

BATTERY & CHARGING

The battery can be either charged by leaving the battery in the bike or by

removing it. To charge while in the battery open the rubber cap located on

the frame and plug the charging pin into the slot.

To remove the battery turn the wheel slightly so you have better access to

battery. Turn the key to the unlock position and then turn the lever on the

battery case to release the battery

Removing the battery from the bike when storing it for a long period of

time is recommended. In this case store it in a cool, dry area away from

water. The charge left in the battery should be 50%-75% for long storage

times.

Cleaning the battery and battery housing should only be done while

disconnected and powered off. Use a dry rag, and if need be a lightly

damp rag.

DO NOT spray with high-pressured water to prevent damage or possible

short-circuiting. Only charge the battery with the supplied charger as

others may not function properly, and this increases the possibility of fire

or explosion.

Do not store the charger or battery in a wet/damp place or in direct

sunlight.

Lithium-ion batteries are meant to be recharged with 10%-15% of the

charge remaining to prevent damage to the cells. Keep both the battery

and charger out of the reach of children and If there appears to be an issue

with the charger or battery, stop use immediately and contact either the

manufacturer or Wattwheels at admin@wattwheels.co.nz

BEST PRACTISES FOR EXTENDING BATTERY LIFE

o Pedal to assist the motor when climbing hills and accelerating from a

stop.

o Avoid sudden starts and stops.

o Accelerate slowly

o Keep within the recommended weight limit

Charging:

•Firstly, insert plug of the charger into charging socket of the battery box.

•Second, Insert the charger into the socket of the home power supply. It

shows the power has already been put through when the indicator lamp of

the charger is on.

•It is charging when the indicator light is red. When the light turns from

red to green, it indicates that the battery is fully charged.

•After the green light is on, the charger is in little electric current and “fill

slowly mode". It will not be harmful to the battery if left to charge for a

longer period or overnight. We do recommend not leaving for longer than

48hours if possible

Please don't use the charger of other brands to charge. The electric

apparatus contains a high-pressure circuit.

USEFUL TIPS

•While starting or climbing, please ride with the PAS and pedal as much as

possible, otherwise the energy consumption will be very high. By doing

this it can lengthen the life of battery and motor.

• This specified load of the Electric Bicycle is 130kg, please don't overload.

• While riding if the level of charge shows only one bar is recommended to

ride without power in PAS 0 at this time and charge as soon as you can.

• Turn off the display and remove the key, while parking or storing the

bike.

• Inspect the bolts on a regular basis, to ensure that they are tight and all

components are secure.

This is especially important if you are riding in demanding conditions.

• As with all bikes pay particular attention to the crank bolts, as they are

subject to more loosening forces than any other bolt.

• Regularly check the brake pads, the provided Shimano pads should be

replaced if they have:

-Been contaminated

-Have less than .8mm of material

-Cracks or deformation

• To replace the brake pads or perform other maintenance take it to a

qualified bicycle mechanic at your local bike shop.

• Properly inflate your tyres according to riding conditions. Under-inflated

tyres are prone to get flats, especially if riding off-road.

• Please don't dismantle and repair parts by yourself. Please go to your

local bike repair shop. This bike comes with a manufacturer’s warranty

(document included) so any standard repairs please contact Wattwheels

and we will arrange a service agent close to you to look at the bike. We

carry spare parts so anything electrical that a standard bike shop doesn’t

have we will ship to your nearest retailer

PARKING, STORAGE & TRANSPORT

Please follow these basic parking, storage and transport tips to ensure your

bike is well cared for on and off the road.

o When pushing the bike manually, turn off the power to avoid accidental

acceleration from the motor unless in walk mode.

o It is recommended to park indoors.

o Switch the power off, and any lights to conserve battery. Remove the key

from the bike and ensure the battery is locked to the frame or removed

and brought with you for security.

o In public places, your Alpine Bike must be parked in accordance with

local rules and regulations.

o If you have to park outdoors in rain, or wet conditions you should only

leave your Alpine Bike outside for a few hours and proceed to park the

bike in a dry location afterwards in order to allow all the systems to dry

out. Much like a regular bike, use in wet conditions mandates a more

regular maintenance schedule to ensure your bike does not become rusty,

corroded and to ensure all systems are always working safely.

o Do not park, store, or transport your Alpine Bike on a rack that is not

designed for the size and weight of the bike.

o Wide tyres, as used on Alpine Bikes, cannot fit into all bike racks, please

select an appropriate rack for the width of tyres used on your bike.

o Locking up your bike is recommended to ensure your bike is secure and

the chance of theft is reduced. Wattwheels makes no claims or

recommendations on the proper lock hardware or procedures to secure

your bike, but we do recommend you take the appropriate precautions to

keep your Alpine Bike safe from theft.

o When storing your bike or carrying your bike on a rack for transport, you

can remove the battery pack to reduce the weight of the bike and make

lifting and loading easier.
