Safety Instructions

Thank you for purchasing a VOLTO Electric Bike. This electric bicycle features

the most recent innovation in technology and applies to the AS/NZ standard.

For safety reasons, it is most important that you read this User Guide BEFORE

you operate the bike. Improper handling can reduce its riding performance and

most importantly, pose danger to your safety and health!

NZEBIKES is continuously updating and innovating this product. The printed

manual may therefore not always include the latest updates. However, we shall

make sure that our online manual will always be up to date on

www.volto.co.nz/support.

We want also encourage you to register your bike with your

frame serial number. This allows us to help you finding your

bike in case of theft, as we get contacted by the police when

bikes are recovered.

To register just go to our Volto website and click on “Login”.

Symbols

Please pay particular attention to information next to one of the symbols shown

below as it can be very important for your personal safety.

WARNING

This symbol indicates that improper handling poses a

risk to your health and safety

ATTENTION

This indicates that improper handling could damage

components and make

void the warranty.

NOTE

Points out to useful tips

Introduction

You have decided in favour of a Pedelec (Pedal Electric Cycle) - a bicycle that is

equipped with an electric motor to give you additional assistance when riding.

With this bicycle you can make better progress in headwinds, when

transporting heavy loads or on steep slopes.

You can select the level of power assistance required according to the weight of

your load and/or the prevailing road conditions, the effectiveness of the power

assistance depends on your pedal power and the level of assistance selected.

Before switching on the electric assistance system, please read the chapter

“Charging the battery”. The battery must be fully charged before you go for a

ride the first time.

Mode of operation and extent of electronic power assistance

As soon as you turn on the electric assistance system and begin pedalling or

twisting the throttle, electronic power assistance is available. Depending on the

selected assistance level the motor will add a certain amount of power to assist

you. The more you pedal on your own the less power the motor has to add,

which increases the all over range.

The pedal assistance does not measure your pedal effort, this means you can

relax when being exhausted and let the motor take over most of the work. Just

keep in mind that the battery will get sooner used up. An average rider can

easily reach on flat tracks up to 80km out of the standard 16Ah battery.

Levels of support

There are currently four support levels:

1 = 30%, 2 = 50%, 3 = 70%, 4 = 100%

With higher support the motor will reach also a higher speed.

What comes with the bike?

•240V mains charger

•LED handlebar mounted front light, battery operated

•A set of 2 keys for the battery and 2 keys for the battery frame lock

We recommend to mark the keys to better identify them as

they look similar. Keep one pair safe in case you lose a key.

We can provide blank keys for replacements. If both keys get

lost the lock has to be replaced.

Basic Safety Tips

Always pull the brakes and hold the handlebar firm and

straight before taking off in order to make sure you keep

control of the bike when power assistance is in action! NOTE

that power assistance is triggered off IMMEDIATELY as soon

as the crank moves slightly in riding direction. Also, keep in

mind that the right hand half-throttle is active. By pulling one

of the brakes the motor will be disengaged.

For your own road safety

●Always wear a suitable bike helmet

●Wear bright clothing or reflective elements

to be seen better by other road users

●Wear shoes with a non-slip sole

●Wear close-fitting clothing on your legs or

wear trouser clips

●Wear bicycle gloves

How to use your charger

To charge the battery your Volto comes with a 3Ah fast chargers. Please do not

use any other charger.

If you want to charge your battery from a car or motor home

(12V systems), NZEBIKES or your retailer can supply a special

charger called PowerBuddy for this purpose.

Before you first use the charger please read the following notes regarding

safety carefully!

•Keep the charger away from children!

•In order to prevent any possible injury this charger

should only be used for the original lithium battery

which is supplied together with the Volto e-bike

•Any other battery is not compatible and risks to explode

while charging, causing serious injury to people as well

as damage to other equipment

•Using this charger for batteries not supplied by Volto

could risk catching fire, provoke electric shock and/or

cause serious injury

•Please make sure that the charger is always kept dry

and does not get wet at any time.

Should there be an incidence of contact with water or any other liquid, make

sure to unplug the charger immediately from the power socket and have it

inspected by your dealer.

Make sure the charger is always placed on a flat surface when in use. Please

Ref (1)

make sure that the charger is always unplugged and removed from the power

socket when not in use.

Before using the charger, always make sure that the plug and the cables are

not damaged.

Never connect a damaged cable or plug to the power socket. Never try to

disassemble the charger. There are no serviceable parts in the charger.

Always unplug the charger before cleaning it. The charger should only be

cleaned with a dry cloth. Never use a wet cloth, oil or any other liquid. Only use

the original cable supplied with the charger.

The charger LED (1) indicates the battery status:

LED STATUS

green the battery is not connected

red the battery is charging

green the battery is charged, the charger has switched off

Before using your battery the first time, it has to be charged

once over night for at least 12 hours.

Safety notes concerning the battery

•Keep the battery out of reach for children

•Never try to open the battery. Apart from this being

dangerous, all warranty will be void

•Do not provoke a shortcut circuit with metal gadgets

•Remove the battery from the bike when transporting on

an external bike rack

•Do not dip the battery in water or any other liquid

•Do not keep the battery close to heat or open fire

•A battery needs to be re-cycled after use, never throw it

in an open fire as it could explode

•If the battery is damaged because it has been dropped

somewhere or because of a biking accident, there might

be a risk of an internal short-circuit

•Immediately stop using a damaged battery.

In order to maximise the use of this battery, please consider the following:

The battery will not charge when exposed to temperatures below +0°C or

above +60°C. It is therefore recommended to keep the battery at room

temperature before charging it.

The charger operates with a microcomputer system with automated control

functions. It automatically stops charging when the battery is full. It cannot be

damaged by overcharging.

None the less, we strongly recommend to always disconnect the power plug

from the wall socket after the battery is charged as power surges, i.e. lightning,

through the grid can damage the charger or battery electronics!

When storing the battery for a longer time period, (e.g. over winter) it is

important to place surface in a dry place. The battery should be re-charged

once every 3 month when it is not used. Negligence could lead to complete

discharge of the battery and this would void the warranty.

The discharging of the battery is due to chemical processes

which are taking place within the battery cells. How much a

battery discharges depends on the time it has not been used

and the temperature it has been exposed to. Thus, a re-

charge every 3 month, when not in use, is essential.

Charging the battery

You may charge the battery on the bike or remove it to a

more convenient place.

1. Flip the handle up and connect the charger plug to the battery

2. Connect the power cord to a mains socket

The charger will get warm while charging – do not cover while

in use as it might cause a malfunction.

How to remove and insert the battery

1. Removal: Unplug the motor power plug and if the battery is locked,

unlock the frame lock

2. Swivel the seat to the front and pull the battery with handle out of it's

rail.

3. Insert: Slide the battery into the battery rail, secure it in the frame with

the battery frame lock. Insert the motor power plug firmly.

A loose power plug can lead to power outages while riding

and may damage the contacts.

Before starting to ride

Adjust Seat height

Open the quick release lever at the seat clamp, adjust seat height and close the

lever firmly. If the lever is too loose, open the lever again and turn the

adjusting nut clockwise till you feel resistance. Now close lever again. It should

close with noticeable resistance.

Never tighten the seat post if the maximum mark is visible,

otherwise you can injure yourself or damage the seat post.

How to find the correct saddle height?

1. Sit on bike saddle

2. Try to reach pedal with your heel when it is in

the bottom position. Your knee should be

more or less fully straightened out

3. Place the ball of your foot on the centre of the

pedal. If your knee is now slightly bend, the

saddle height is correct

Adjusting the saddle angle

Best riding comfort is found when the saddle is horizontal, some riders prefer a

slight forward angled seat.

Never angle a seat backwards as it

can quickly lead to back pain or

physical injuries

1. Loosen the clamping nut on one side anti-

clockwise

2. Tilt the saddle to the required angle

3. Tighten the clamping nut clockwise. Make sure

that the nut it tightened firmly (20 NM)

Adjust the stem and handlebar

The models TUI and FALCON allow an

adjustment of the handlebar in terms of

angle, while the ROBIN has a height

adjustable stem.

To adjust the angle, which will raise or lower

the handlebar and changes also the distance

to the rider you have to loosen the 6mm

Allen Key screw. When the lock plate is

loose enough the handlebar angle can be

adjusted. Re-tighten the screw.

Adjust the tilt of the handlebar by opening

the handlebar clamp screw.
