Do not use the throttle unless you are safely riding your bike

Driving Range

The range of your Robocycle is the distance the bike will travel on a single full charge of the onboard battery pack. The range values are estimates based on Robocycle expected usage characteristics. Some of the factors which affect range include changes in elevation, speed, payload, acceleration, number of starts and stops, and ambient air temperatures. Tire pressure and terrain are also important variables to consider.

MAXIMUM PAYLOAD CAPACITY FOR ROBOCYCLE 1

The total maximum weight limit, or payload capacity of the Robocycle 1 is 350 lbs. That includes the weight of the rider as well as clothing, riding gear, cargo, accessories, and a passenger (only if your passenger is also wearing safety gear, and understands the bike’s functionality)

You must hold onto the bike whenever loading cargo and/or a passenger. The kickstand is not designed to be used for loading cargo. Do not assume the bike is stable and balanced when using the kickstand. Always hold onto the bike when cargo is being loaded, in place, or attached to the bike. Robocycle shall not be responsible for any and all injuries or damages resulting from cargo being loaded, in place, or attached to a Robocycle electric bike.

Carrying Cargo/Passenger

Carrying a cargo load or a passenger involves additional risks, which require special attention and care to mitigate and manage. Braking, acceleration, and balancing are all significantly affected by the addition of cargo or a passenger loaded on the Robocycle 1. You must become accustomed to the braking, steering and operational adjustments required to safely operate the Robocycle 1 with cargo or a passenger. Users should practice riding on a flat and open area with light cargo before attempting to carry heavier loads. Robocycle shall not be responsible for any and all injuries or damages resulting from carrying cargo using a Robocycle electric bike, regardless of whether or not the cargo is properly attached, placed, or loaded onto the bike. Robocycle shall not be responsible for all injuries, damages, or death from carrying a passenger, whether or not the passenger is wearing full safety gear, and understand the rules of the road. Carrying cargo or a passenger is HIGH RISK in any scenario and therefore you assume the risk of all potential injuries or damages that may occur and absolve Robocycle of all liability associated with that risk.

Tips for Carrying Cargo:

Cargo should be loaded as low as possible to lower the center of gravity and improve stability, but cargo should not interfere with any moving components or the ground
Ensure your loads are properly secured and periodically check that nothing loosens, risks interfering with any moving components, or could risk touching or dragging on the ground
PLan your route accordingly since a rider’s hill climbing ability, steering, and braking are all impacted when cargo is loaded on your Robocycle. Hills that are normally easy to climb and descend without cargo can become challenging and dangerous once cargo is loaded onto the bike
Become proficient at controlling the Robocycle 1 with the cargo load in a flat and open area before riding on roads or hills

The kickstand is not designed to be used for loading cargo or passengers. You MUST hold onto the bike whenever loading cargo, especially when loading precious cargo and children. Do not assume the bike is stable and balanced when using the kickstand. Always hold onto the bike when cargo is being loaded or in place.

BRAKE WARNING: DO NOT USE THE FRONT BRAKE BY ITSELF. Use both brakes for all braking purposes, and operations. Braking with only the front brake can cause excessive stress on components, damage to the bike and parts, and/or loss of control. RObocycle Shall not be responsible for any and all damages or injuries resulting from using the front brake by itself or for any excessive stress that is placed on the components, damages occurring to the bike or parts and/or damages or injuries that occur from loss of control.

Parking, Storage, and Transport

Please follow these basic parking, storage and transport tips to ensure your bike is well cared for on and off the road. Robocycle shall not be responsible from any and all injuries or damages resulting from improper parking, storage, and/or transport.

Turn off the power when pushing or carrying the bike manually to avoid accidental acceleration from the motor
In order to conserve battery, switch off the power and lights. Make sure the battery is secure by locking the battery in place and removing the key or remove the battery and bring it with you for extra security
Robocycle should be parked indoors. If you cannot park indoors, and/or park in rain or wet conditions, do not ride your Robocycle until it has dried off for a few hours in a dry location to allow the system to dry out. If you use the bike in wet conditions, this mandates more regular maintenance schedule in order to ensure your bike does not become rusty, corroder and ensure all systems are working safely
Please follow all local rules and regulations if you park in a public place
Do not carry your Robocycle on a vehicle rack during rain or wet conditions as this will cause water damage to the electrical components.
When transporting your bike on a vehicle rack, remove the battery pack to reduce the weight and inertia of the bike, this will make lifting and loading easier and protects the battery from the external elements
Use a rack that is compatible with the size and weight of your bike. Check the weight capacity and tire width compatibility of your rack before using it with your Robocycle
Robocycle should always be locked up and secure to reduce the chance of theft. Robocycle makes no claims or recommendations on the proper hardware or procedures to secure your bike, we recommend that you take the appropriate precautions to keep your Robocycle safe from theft

Basic Bike Care

Robocycle recommends that in order to ensure safe riding conditions you must properly maintain your bike. Follow these basic guidelines and see a certified, reputable bike mechanic at regular intervals to ensure your bike is safe for use and fun to ride.

Maintain proper charge in your battery between uses of up to two weeks apart
Never immerse or submerge the bike or any components in water or liquid as the electrical system may be damaged
Periodically check wiring and connectors to ensure there is no damage and the connectors are secure
Wipe the frame with a damp cloth to clean. If needed, apply a mild non-corrosive detergent mixture to a damp cloth and wipe the frame. Dry by wiping clean with a clean, dry cloth
Store under some sort of shelter, and avoid leaving the bike in rain or exposed to corrosive materials
If you ride your Robocycle in winter with salted roads or near a beach in coastal areas, your bike is at much greater risk for salt corrosion. Wipe down your bike frequently and/or spray all unpainted parts with anti-rust treatment. Damage from corrosion is not covered under warranty so special care should be given to extend the life of your bike when used in coaster areas with salty air or water or in winter riding with salted roads
If the hub and bottom bracket bearings have been submerged in water or liquid, they should be taken out and re-greased, this will prevent accelerated bearing deterioration
Use touch up paint to prevent rust if the paint has become scratched or chipped to the metal
Regularly lubricate and clean all moving parts, tighten components, and adjust as required

Tire Replacement and Inflation

The Robocycle 1 comes with 20”x4” rubber tires with inner tubes. The tires are designed for durability and safety for regular cycling activities and the tires need to be checked before each use for proper inflation and condition. Proper inflation, care and timely replacement will help to ensure that your bike is well maintained and is safe to use.

It is critically important that you always maintain proper air pressure in your tires. Do not overinflate, do not underinflate your tires. Low pressure may result in loss of control, and overinflating may cause tires to burst. If you fail to maintain proper air pressure as indicated by the air pressure rating on your tires it may result in tire or even wheel failure. Robocycle shall not be responsible for any and all damages or injuries resulting from under inflating or over inflating tires. To inflate your tires use a regulated air source with an available pressure gauge. Do not use an inflating mechanism without a pressure gauge as this may result in over inflating or under inflating your tires.

Ensure that all air pressure has been removed from the inner tube when changing a tire or tube prior to removing the tire from the rim. Failure to remove all air pressure from the inner tube could result in serious injury. Robocycle shall not be responsible for any and all damages or injuries resulting from not removing all air pressure from the inner tube or from incorrectly changing the tire tube.

Pre-Ride Safety Check List

Always have a certified, reputable bike mechanic perform a tune-up on your robocycle 1 after your initial break-in period of 50-100 miles (80-160 km). Your cables, spokes, and chain will stretch after the initial break in period. Regular inspections and tune-ups are particularly important for ensuring that your bike remains safe and fun to ride.

Recommended Service Intervals

The Key to ensure your Robocycle functions are intended, regular inspection and maintenance are paramount. Recommended service intervals are meant to be used as guidelines. Real world wear and tear, and the need for service, will vary with conditions of use. We generally recommend inspections, service, and necessary replacements be performed at the time or mileage interval that comes first in the troubleshooting table below.

Riding an Electric Bike in Canada

The Canadian government first addressed electric bikes via legislation in the year 2001, as part of Canada’s Motor Vehicle Safety Regulations. Up until that point, there was confusion as to what exactly constituted an electric bicycle and therefore, what rules applied to their usage. The legislation defined electric bikes as “power assisted bicycles”, setting them apart from other kinds of motorized vehicles that might have a similar look but, in 2021, the government decided to repeal its definition of “power-assisted bicycle” leaving it up to each province and territory to define the characteristics of an ebike and other eclectic based mobility vehicles.
Based off the previous federal government’s definition however, an electric bike or power assisted bicycle in Canada would be considered as follows:

– Must have operable pedals, and an attached electric motor of 500 watts or less.
– They must not exceed 32 km/hr from the motor on level ground (going downhill is a different story, since it doesn’t speak to motor capabilities).

Electric bikes with 750W or 1000W motors appear to be allowed in some off-road areas but there are restrictions. In a nutshell, ebikes with over 500 watts are not considered street-legal in Canada.
There are exceptions based on area but for the most part, ebikes in Canada are limited to a 500 W output and cannot travel faster than 32 km/h (20 mph) on motor power alone on level ground, each provincial state or territory has the authorization to include their own laws and regulations.

Riding an ebike is allowed in numerous Canadian parks, and different provinces have their own set of restrictions. For example, Class-1 e-bikes are permitted on any BC Parks trail where mountain bikes or other cycling is allowed, while Class 2 and 3 e-bikes are only permitted on trails and/or roads designated for motorized vehicles. *This chart (shown below) is featured on the BC Parks website.

Canadian provinces do not require a license for you to operate an ebike, with one exception. The province of Quebec stipulates that riders between the ages of 14 and 17 should obtain a class 6D license (this license allows people to additionally operate a moped or motorized scooter, in that province).

Is There a Minimum Age Requirement to Operate an E-Bike in Canada?
Similar as in the US, there are certain age restrictions that are applicable in terms of unsupervised riders under the age of 18. Below is a chart based on age and province to help make this information more clear.

Must be over 12 years old
Alberta.

Must be over 14 years old
Manitoba, Quebec, Saskatchewan.

Must be over 16 years old
British Columbia, Ontario, Prince Edward Island.

*Provinces not mentioned above have no known age restrictions, to date.

It’s important to note that in all areas of Canada, you must abide by the helmet regulations set forth by the government. This means that a helmet must be properly secured and must fit on the rider’s head while making use of their bike or ebike – unless specifically stated.
