Dolphin light
Dear customer,
Thank you for purchasing the Dolphin light Power Assist Folding Electric
bicycle. You‟re one step closer in realizing a whole new way of commuting that is
fast, fun and friendly to the environment.
The hub motor is brushless and uses a technology called Pulse Wave Modulation
control, so that it's not subject to wear like a regular DC motor. Planetary
reduction gears incorporated into its hub gives it a very strong torque, working
in unison with your leg power to flatten out those hills and to overcome
headwinds.
Its electric consumption is about 0.4 kWh (no slop). For 100 km even less
energy than the food you would consume riding by leg power alone. Making it by
far the most efficient vehicle ever made.
While the Easybike pledge to quality means our components are high value and
reliable. It's your part to understand safety implications and the possible risks of
cycling. So please take some time and read this manual. It explains the bike in
detail, how to take care of it, so that you can enjoy using the bike for many
years to come.

Running from an A/C outlet.
GREEN light indicates that the battery is fully charged.
It will take a maximum of 3- 4 hours to fully charge your battery. You may
interrupt the charging at any time.
As Lithium batteries do not suffer from memory effect, it is not required for the
battery to be empty to commence a recharge.
Top-up charging every time you‟ve completed your cycle ride is recommended.
Kept in good condition battery will perform at least 1200 full
Charge cycles, with a retention of 70% from its original capacity.

A new battery might take 2 – 3 charges before it performs at its stated capacity.
Sometimes after temporary disconnection, the charging status light may give a
false green reading. To verify that your battery is fully charged, switch the
charger off, wait for the charger lights to go out and switch it back on again. The
charging status light should quickly return from amber to green, when the
battery is fully charged.
The battery may be also charged on the bicycle, do make sure that the bicycle is
switched off so as to not waste electricity.
If the battery refuses to accept a charge, refer your easybike dealer for more

Battery metter indicator
As you continue to cycle and the battery power drops, the level gauge will
correspond to the state of charge remaining. When it remains in „amber‟ and dips
into „red‟, you have approximately a 500m to ride. Best to recharge the battery
soon.
To prevent the battery from deep discharge, the controller has a low voltage
protection cut-off set at 28.0V. You may reboot the bicycle if it cuts off however,
Continued use of an empty battery by „pulsing‟ will cause deep discharge, this is
detrimental to the battery and reduce its life.
