WARNING

As with all mechanical components, the Hover-1

Instinct is subjected to wear and high stresses.

Dierent materials and components may react to

wear or fatigue in dierent ways. If the design life of

a component has been exceeded, it may

suddenly fail possibly causing injuries to the rider.

Any form of crack, scratch or change of coloring in

highly stressed areas indicate that the life of the

component has been reached and it should be

replaced. Do not ride in an abusive manner.

In this manual, the CAUTION sign indicates a

hazardous situation which, if not avoided, can

cause minor or moderate injury.

WARNING

This operation manual is designed to give you the

information you need for the safe operation and

maintenance of your new Hover-1 Instinct (referred to as

“Instinct” from here on). Please read it thoroughly before

riding your Instinct.

The Instinct is a pedal-assisted bicycle. Our technology

and production processes are developed with strict

testing for each Instinct. Operating the Instinct without

following the contents of this manual may lead to

damage to your Instinct, or bodily injury.

INTRODUCTION

• This manual contains detailed information and

useful suggestions about your Instinct.

• Make sure that you understand the proper use,

maintenance, and care of the electrical system and

all other components of your Instinct.

• The user of this Instinct 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 Instinct,

unless it’s equipped with an approved Child Seat

accessory.

• Children should not ride as passengers without an

adult operating the Instinct.

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 Instinct.

• Do not ride the Instinct without the battery pack.

The battery pack must be on the Instinct while riding

or else the Instinct’s motor and safety lights will not

function when needed.

• Do not misuse the Instinct by riding it without a

seat. The Instinct has a quick release on the seat

post. If the seat is removed, it may lead to hazardous

situations while riding on the pedal-assisted bicycle.

• Standing, kneeling, or sitting backwards or

sideways (both legs on the same side of the Instinct)

on the seat while the Instinct is moving or stopped

can easily result in bodily harm, loss of control of the

Instinct, destroyed rims, a destroyed bicycle frame,

or worse.

2. Think about safety. Your safety and that of others is

very important.

IMPORTANT

• Always check your Instinct 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.

• 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 if the frame and components are

cracked or broken. If at any time you notice a crack

or bend in your bike, stem, forks, or bars of your

Instinct, stop riding immediately and contact the

customer support center.

• Do not clean your Instinct 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 Instinct with a damp rag and

gently wipe the frame and other dirty areas, while

avoiding any parts of the electrical system. Any

3. The electric system of your Instinct needs special

attention and care.

• The Instinct 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 Instinct (with installed

battery pack), the regulations are less strict. Make

sure to check ahead with your airline or carrier,

before booking your trip to nd out if you’re allowed

to travel with your complete Instinct.

4. Be careful when transporting your Instinct.

water 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.

• If the Instinct is not going 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 Instinct.

• 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 Instinct 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 down the wheels. The more hand

pressure applied to the brake handle, the faster the

Instinct 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 Instinct. 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.

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 Instinct.

CAUTION

Proper use of your brake is vital to ensure safe,

eicient 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.
