1.0 Introduction
Welcome and congratulations on buying your new A2B Hybrid*, the electric bike that’s taking transport in a whole new direction.
Your bike will give you the freedom to go your own way.
It’s the new revolutionary way to get to work, pop to the shops or just get some fresh air.
Compared to jumping in the car, it’s a lot more fun, easier to park and will reduce your fuel costs as well as your impact on the
environment... as you’ll soon find out!

responsibility for that risk.

3.2 Changing components or adding accessories
Before installing any component or accessory, including a
different tyre, make sure that it is compatible with your A2B by
checking with your A2B dealer.
Read, understand and follow the instructions that accompany
the component or accessory you purchase for your A2B. Fol-
low the component manufacturer’s instructions if they conflict
with these instructions.
As with all mechanical components, the bicycle is subject-
ed to wear and high stresses. Different materials and compo-
nents may react in different ways to wear or stress fatigue. If
the design life of a component has been exceeded, it may sud-
denly fail possibly causing serious or fatal injuries to the rider.
Any form of crack, scratches or change of colouring in highly
stressed areas, such as frame, fork and handle bar, indicates
that the life of the component has been reached and it should
be replaced immediately by an A2B dealer.
Failure to confirm with compatibility, proper installation,
operation and maintenance components or accessories
can result in serious or fatal injury.
Using non-genuine components or replacement parts may
compromise the safety of your A2B and void the warranty.
If you change components or add accessories, you do
so at your own risk because A2B may not have tested that
component or accessory for compatibility, reliability or safety
on your A2B.
3.3 Brake lever adjustment
Can you comfortably operate the brakes? If not, take your A2B
to an A2B dealer and ask them to adjust the angle of the brake
levers.
Alternatively, follow the instructions below to adjust the brake
lever angle:
1. Loosen the bolt underneath the brake lever with an
appropriate allen key.
2. Adjust the angle to suit.
3. Tighten up the bolt underneath, ensuring the brake lever is
firmly fixed in place.
Should you need to adjust the brakes themselves, please
take your A2B to an A2B dealer to make the required adjust-
ments.

3.4 Seat height adjustment
The seat height may require adjustment. Ask your A2B dealer
to adjust it before you ride, however to adjust the seat yourself
follow these instructions:
To determine the correct height of the seat for the rider
1. Straddle the assembled A2B with your feet
shoulder-width apart and flat on the ground.
2. There must be at least 25 mm/1 inch clearance between the
frame height (1) and the inside leg measurement of the rider (2).
Height adjustment
1. Release the seat post quick release by rotating the quick
release lever away from the seat post until it is fully open.
2. Adjust the saddle height accordingly to your request. DO
NOT raise the seat beyond the ‘minimum insertion’ mark on the
seat post.
3. Firmly grip the seat tube with your hand, and push the lever
over to the closed position towards the frame, ensuring that it
does not protrude so as to cause injury to the rider. The lever is
securely tightened when it takes a significant amount of force
to position it in the closed position. The appropriate amount of
force necessary to close the lever when it is properly adjusted
will result in an imprint of the lever in the palm of your hand.
When properly closed, it is impossible to move unless you
open it again by reversing the steps above. If you can easily
move it, open the quick release lever and tighten the adjusting
nut another 180º and try again.
5. Ensure the seat clamp bolt (seat pillar - seat post) is tight-
ened to 27 Nm.
4. After adjustment, ensure there is no movement in the seat
position in any direction.
Failure to correctly secure the seat can result in serious or
fatal injury.
• This owner’s manual makes no representation about the safe
use of the A2B under all conditions.

Caution: this is an A-head stem, the top screw D is
preloaded with 1-2 Nm and does not adjust the handlebar
stem. Trying to tighten bolt D can damage the head set bear-
ings.
Failure to correctly secure the bar stem can result in
serious or fatal injury.
Ensure there is no play in the steering and that the steering is
working smoothly.
Should you need further advice to adjust the headset, please
contact your A2B dealer.
