rider at a given speed.

The kit features both a thumb throttle and a five-level pedal

assist system (PAS). The thumb throttle allows the rider to
propel the bike entirely via the electric motor without
pedaling. The PAS senses the movement of the pedals and
provides a proportional amount of motorized assistance
based on the PAS level selected. Other features of the kit
include a color LCD display, brake levers with motor cutoff
switches, a lockable/removable battery pack and battery
charger.

The motor can produce a significant amount of torque,

causing the bike to accelerate quickly. No matter how
familiar you are with ElliptiGO bikes, it is imperative that you
follow the instructions for taking a first ride outlined in this
manual so you learn how the motor and other components
change the riding experience.

You must also take special care to ensure the electric bike
conversion kit is installed correctly. There are many cables
and electronic parts that will not work if installed improperly.

7.1 Remove the grips from the handlebar using a 5mm Allen key. On
3C models, just pull and rotate the rubber grips to remove them.

7.2 Detach the brake cables from the brake levers by aligning the slots
in the barrel adjuster, locking ring and front of the brake body.
Next pull the cable housing out of the barrel adjuster so that the
bare cable is visible. Then slide the bare cable through the aligned
slots in the barrel adjuster, locking ring and brake body. Pull the
brake lever and remove the gray brake cable anchor out of the
capturing hole.

7.3 Remove the brake levers from the handlebar with a 4mm Allen key.

7.4 Slide the right and left brake levers (#19) onto the corresponding
side of the handlebar. Ensure the gray star symbol is facing up and
each lever is pointing outboard from the bike. Do not tighten yet. 7.5
7.5 Attach the brake cables to the levers by aligning the slots in the 7.4
barrel adjuster, locking ring and brake body. Seat the gray brake
cable anchor into the brake lever hole and route the exposed cable
through the aligned slots. Then insert the cable housing into the
barrel adjuster. Note: If you need more slack to attach the cable,
loosen the brake caliper pinch bolt located on the brake.

7.6 Orient the display (#10) as shown and slide it onto the left
handlebar until it is adjacent to the brake lever. Do not tighten yet.

7.7 Orient the throttle (#11) with the screw facing down. Slide it onto
the left handlebar until it is next to the display. Do not tighten yet.

7.8 Slide each grip onto its respective end of the handlebar. Ensure
that the grip is fully seated on the handlebar by looking through
the open plug or slot in the grip and confirming that the end of the 7.6 - 7.9
handlebar is flush against the inside of the grip. Use a flashlight if
necessary. You may need to slide the shifter, throttle, display and
brake levers further in on the handlebar. Once seated, use a 5mm
Allen key to tighten the screw to 8 N-m.

! WARNING! Failing to fully seat the grips onto the handlebar and to
tighten them sufficiently could cause the grips to come off while
riding, which would cause the rider to lose control and fall.

7.9 Fine tune the positioning of the shifter, throttle, display and brake
levers until they are correctly aligned. Then tighten the display and
throttle to 3 N-m using a 3mm Allen key and tighten the brake
levers and shifter to 5 N-m with a 4mm Allen key.

OPERATION
In this section we will provide information so you can familiarize yourself with how to operate your ElliptiGO when it is
equipped with the electric bike kit. Before operating your electrified ElliptiGO, ensure you have installed everything properly
and read and understood this manual completely. Your electrified ElliptiGO has a powerful motor, complicated electronics and
a large battery that can cause the bike to accelerate quickly and change its handling characteristics. You must put in the time
to learn how to use your electrified ElliptiGO safely before taking your first real ride. If you have any questions, please contact
ElliptiGO customer service at 888.796.8227 or [email protected].
WARNING! Do not disregard the instructions and warnings set forth in this manual. They are here for your safety. Failure
! to follow the instructions and warnings contained herein could cause you to suffer a fall that results in an injury or death.
Failure to follow the instructions and warnings could also cause damage to your bike, electric bike conversion kit, personal
property, and injuries or death to a third-party.

WARNING! Do not attempt to operate your electrified ElliptiGO bike until you have adequate knowledge of how the
! controls work. Operating the bike without understanding how the controls work can result in a fall where the rider suffers
serious injury or death. It can also damage your bike, electric bike conversion kit, personal property, and result in injuries
or death to a third-party.

WARNING! The throttle mechanism allows full power to be activated from a stop. Inexperienced users should take extra
! care when first applying the throttle. The pedal assistance feature can also deliver a significant amount of power to the
bike. Before using it, you must research and understand how it operates so you know what to expect. Do not skip the next
section.

WARNING! The battery on your electrified ElliptiGO sits below the main frame member, reducing ground clearance. DO
! NOT GO UP OR DOWN CURBS OR OVER SPEED BUMPS. If you go up or down a curb or ride over large speed bumps or
similar obstacles, you are likely to hit the battery on the pavement or curb. Doing so can cause significant damage to the
battery and/or controller and could lead to a fall.

Pedal Assist System (PAS) motor regardless of whether or not you are pedaling.
Your electric bike conversion kit includes a pedal assist system
(PAS). The PAS senses the movement of the pedals and provides a
specific amount of motorized assistance based on the PAS level you
select. The PAS system is set initially to have six levels numbered
from 0-5. Level 0 provides no pedal assistance. Level 1 provides the
lowest level of pedal assistance, and level 5 provides the highest level
of pedal assistance. The lower the PAS is set, the less power provided
by the motor and the longer your battery will last at a given speed.
The following table shows the percentage of total power delivered at
each PAS level using the default settings.
