Qelectric Expresso S Owner's Manual - page 14
ROUTINE OPERATION
• At the cable end bracket, just before the lever,
with 8 and 10 mm wrench adjustments, and
A) Pre-Ride Check
• At the end of the lever, with a 10 mm nut fastener.
1) Be sure the tires have enough air. Low tire
pressure risks rim pinching (tube failure) and
lowers your range (distance per charge).
The front brake is adjusted
at the end of the cable, at
the saddle nut.
2) Be sure the battery is fully charged. Riding on a
low state-of-charge will reduce range, and can
damage the battery.
3) Verify the proper adjustment and function of the
brakes.
4) Make sure the Expresso is in good mechanical
order. Visually inspect and hand-check the vehicle,
and snug any loose bolts, screws, or other
fasteners.
9) Check that the crank and rear chain sprockets are
aligned, and that the chain has proper tension. Proper
chain tension allows for a slight (±½ inch) movement up
and down, when pulled with fingers at the point between
the sprockets. Lubricate the chain with chain or lithium
grease, not with a spray oil.
5) With the Expresso on its Kickstand, turn the key
switch and apply the throttle, to verify the motor’s
smooth operation. Apply the brake to stop the
motor. Verify that the throttle is inoperative when
either brake is applied.
10) Your Expresso has been in transit and storage. You
must charge the batteries before riding it. Charge the
battery by plugging in the 2 included charger cords into
the Expresso’s Charger Ports.
B) Steps to Startup
1) Roll the Expresso off its Kickstand. Mount the
Expresso. Adjust the Rear View Mirrors so that you
can see clearly behind you.
2) Insert the key into the key switch and turn the key
from OFF to ON.
