Introduction

Introducing the Swifty LIBERTé Powered Assisted Cycling, the perfect companion for your daily commute or leisurely rides. This e-bike is designed to provide a smooth and comfortable riding experience with its pedal-assist technology, making it easy to conquer hills and long distances. The LIBERTé Guide is expected to launch in the second quarter of the year and will be priced around $2,500. Its sleek and stylish design will turn heads while its powerful motor and long-lasting battery will ensure you reach your destination with ease.

Detailed Specifications

The Swifty LIBERTé Powered Assisted Cycling boasts impressive features that make it stand out from other e-bikes in the market. It has a 350W rear hub motor, providing a top speed of 20mph, and a 36V 10.4Ah battery that can last up to 40 miles on a single charge. The LIBERTé Guide also features a lightweight aluminum frame, Shimano 7-speed gearing, and Tektro hydraulic disc brakes for maximum safety. Its adjustable handlebar and saddle ensure a comfortable riding position for riders of different heights. The bike also has integrated front and rear lights, a rear rack, and fenders for added convenience.

Essentially, your new electric bike works exactly the same as a standard bike, pedaling to propel the bike forward using the gears to suit the terrain and the speed you want to go... only now you have electric power assistance at your fingertips to take the strain out of those tough uphill struggles and making cycling a much more pleasant experience.

Simply explained, this is how your electric bike works:

  1. Switch the battery to ON, with the switch on the left-hand side of the battery.
  2. Switch the power on by pressing the ‘POWER’ button on your controller on the handlebars.
  3. As you begin to pedal, a sensor will read the level of effort needed to turn the wheels of your bike.
  4. After one complete turn of the pedal, the electric motor kicks in, making pedaling much easier.
  5. There are 3 settings on your controller on the handlebar, allowing you to set the level of assistance you require. For example, riding up a hill you’ll probably use ‘level 3’ mode.
  6. Change the level of assistance you need any time and as often as you wish.
  7. The motor works to assist pedaling, stop pedaling and the motor stops too.
  8. Applying the brakes cuts the motor.
  9. You can also choose to switch the assist OFF and ON on the controller at any point in your journey. This helps to save battery power if it’s not needed.

The more you use the assist, the more power it uses. Each rider is different so figures can vary considerably with different rider weight and the terrain you ride. Generally, with normal use, you should be able to obtain around 20 miles before you need to re-charge your battery. We recommend that you get used to your new e-bike and the level of assist you place on it. You’ll soon be able to work out how long a journey you can make and safely return under assist. You can, of course, ride as you would a normal bike if the charge runs out. The A-weighted emission sound pressure level at the Rider’s ears is less than 70dB (A).

Unpacking your new bike

Your bike comes 85% assembled in the Carton, you only need to fit the pedals, unfold the frame, the handlebar assembly, and insert the saddle assembly.

  1. Before you begin to unpack your e-bike, we recommend you get another person to assist you as it’s much easier with two persons to lift out of the box.
  2. Remove all the packing materials used to protect the bike and dispose of it later in a responsible manner.
  3. Once you have unpacked the bike, it is a good idea to check to make sure there has not been any damage in transit. (If you find anything missing or damaged, contact the Technical helpline below).

Having unpacked your bike, follow the simple steps of fitting the pedals, handlebar, and saddle assemblies by following the instructions on the next page.

Setting up your e-bike

Unfold the Bike Frame

Unfold the frame until the two parts of the frame are inline, close the lever pushing towards the frame, this should feel quite tight, then push the safety locking clip down so that it slots into the hole in the top edge of the lever preventing the lever from accidental opening during use. To unlock and fold the frame, simply reverse these steps.

Fitting the Pedals

Match the left pedal to the left crank, and the right pedal to the right crank.

  • Left Pedal - Tightens Anti-clockwise
  • Right Pedal - Tightens Clockwise

Tighten the pedal as far as possible with your fingers. Use the tool provided to tighten them firmly.

Fitting the Saddle

4.png
5.png

The saddle and seatpost are already fitted together. 

  1. Slide the seatpost into the seat tube and close the tension lever on the quick-release clamp to lock your seat in place.
  2. Adjust the saddle height to suit you by releasing the clamp and tightening when at the correct height.

    6.png
    • Turn crank to place it in its lowest position.
    • Place heel on pedal with foot parallel to the ground.
    • Position saddle so that toes of the other foot can touch the ground. The saddle should also be parallel to the ground.
    • Tighten seat post bolt.
  3. If the clamp does not tighten enough to hold the saddle in position, simply lift the tension lever to release and turn a quarter turn of the adjustment nut clockwise and close the tension lever. Repeat as necessary.

Locking the Handlebar/Stem

The handlebars and stem come folded down and strapped to the side of your bike. Cut the ties and lift the handlebar assembly into the upright position. Lock in position using the quick-release mechanism, adjusting in the same manner as the quick release on the seatpost. Before riding, always check that the quick-release clamp is tight.

Brakes on the Handlebar

As you sit on your bike and take hold of the handlebar, it is important to know that the right-hand brake lever controls the FRONT brake and the left-hand lever controls the REAR brake. Disc brakes are powerful brakes and can stop the bicycle very quickly. We recommend you become familiar with their stopping power by initially applying at lower speeds to avoid any accidents.

Pre-Ride Checks

7.png
8.png
9.png

IMPORTANT NOTE: The total permissible weight of the Rider + Luggage is 125Kg.

Complete these checks before every ride:

  1. Check to make sure all nuts/fastenings are tight.
  2. Check that your tires are inflated sufficiently (see tire wall).
  3. Check that the brakes are working correctly (These are set by the factory and should not require adjusting).
  4. Check your battery for charge (see controller) (Note: Your new SWIFTY battery is supplied with a partial charge).

Getting Started

  1. Switch the battery on with the switch on the left-hand side of your battery.
  2. Press the POWER button on the Controller on your handlebars.
  3. ‘MODE’ is set on ‘1’ - This is a default setting. THAT‘S IT... You’re ready to go.
  4. To start, simply begin to pedal. Once the crank is turning, you will feel the motor kick in and the electric system begin to assist you.
  5. You have 3 levels of assist and it’s a good idea to try all levels to give you a feel of the effect this has on your riding.
  6. Remember, stopping pedaling or braking cuts the motor assist, so you can always feel safely in total control. Applying the brakes activates the brake sensor which cuts the power to the motor.

Understanding your controller

10.png

Your Module Controller has several functions and is relatively simple and easy to operate. We have listed the buttons and their various functions:

  • ON/OFF button - Switch on after you have switched the battery switch to ‘ON’.
  • Lever buttons - 1-3, easy selection levels of assistance.
  • Battery Indicator lights - These are red and go down as you use the power.
  • As you ride up a hill, the power indicator drops down showing increased resistance levels, but once back to level ground the indicator lights will return to a more accurate position of available power levels.
  • This bike has a 6km walking mode function, which allows you to push your bike effortlessly over steep ridges or hills. You can activate this function by holding down the minus button for 3 seconds.

Understanding your battery

11.png
12.png
13.png

Security

  1. You are supplied with 2 keys to secure your battery to your bike. It is advisable to separate the keys as they CANNOT BE REPLACED IF LOST.
  2. The key secures your battery to the bike and by unlocking, the battery can be removed by sliding towards you, sideways out from the frame.
  3. To replace, simply reverse the procedure.

Battery operation

  • Switching ON/OFF is by way of a switch on the rear left-hand side. Remember to switch OFF when not in use as this may drain the battery.
  • To check the power level of the battery, simply press the Indicator Button and check the light display. Please Note: This can only be done with the power switched on.
  • To charge your battery, connect the charger with the lead supplied by removing the rubber cover and inserting the pin connector, plug into the main and then switch on the power.

Battery Charger

  1. NOTE: Only charge your battery with the Charger supplied with your SWIFTY bike. The charger is set to 220/240V. Never use a 110v setting.
  2. Avoid dropping the Charger as this may damage the sensitive electronics within the casing.
  3. You can leave the battery charging, it will stop charging by itself when it has reached full charge, but it is not recommended to leave charging for any considerable time over what is required.

Understanding the Gears

14.png
15.png

 The gears work exactly as a normal bike and are independent of the electric motor. The Revoshift gear changer is fitted to the right side of the handlebars. It consists of a large gripped ring which you turn away from you (forwards) to select the higher gears (6) and towards you (backwards) to select the lower gears (1). You have a series of 6 gears to choose from depending on the suitability for either speed or terrain. The gears are pre-set in the factory so should not need adjusting. However, over a period of use, the cables will stretch and may need adjustment, which is probably done at your 3-month service. Your local bike shop or specialist e-bike shop will offer this service at a very reasonable price. You can, of course, adjust and maintain your bike yourself, if so, please follow the adjustment instructions.

Charging your Battery

Your lithium battery arrives partially charged. Your battery can be charged on or off your bike.

16.png
  1. Plug your charger into the mains, the LED light will illuminate GREEN.
  2. Connect the charger to the battery using the lead provided, the LED light on the charger will change to RED. This indicates it is charging.
  3. Once fully charged, the LED light on the charger switches back to GREEN indicating the battery is fully charged, and then goes off.

Basic rules to follow when charging your battery

17.png
  1. Do not cover the charger with any material or substance that may restrict airflow to the charger. The charger needs to ‘breathe’ to keep cool.
  2. Charging your battery each time you use it no matter how far the trip, will prolong the life of the battery.
  3. DO NOT leave the battery discharged for long periods.
  4. Never open the charger or change settings on the charger.

Adjusting the Rear Derailleur 

18.png
  • 1a. Select the lowest gear. Whilst raising the rear of the bike and rotating the pedals by hand, use your right hand to twist the shifter to select the lowest gear (number 6 on the indicator).
  • 1b. Set the position of the lower limit screw. The lower limit screw controls the position of the rear derailleur when the lowest gear is selected. Using a suitable screwdriver, turn the lower limit screw until the small gears of the derailleur are vertically aligned below the lowest gear. When viewed from the back of the bike, turn the lower limit screw clockwise to move the derailleur to the right and anti-clockwise to turn the derailleur to the left.

    19.png
    20.png
  • 2a. Select the Highest Gear. Whilst raising the rear of the bike and rotating the pedals by hand, use your right hand to twist the shifter to select the highest gear ( number 1 on the indicator).
  • 1b. Set the position of the Lower Limit Screw. The Lower Limit Screw controls the position of the rear derailleur when the highest gear is selected. Using a suitable screwdriver, turn the lower limit screw until the small gears of the derailleur are vertically aligned below the highest gear. When viewed from the back of the bike, turn the lower limit screw, Clockwise to move the derailluer to the left and Anti-clockwise to turn the derailleur to the right.

    21.png
  • 3a. Check the Gear Change Whilst raising the rear of the bike and rotating the pedals by hand, use your right hand to twist the shifter to change from the highest (smallest) to lowest (largest) gear one at a time. The gears should change quickly without any grinding noises. If they do not operate correctly, carry out step 3b.

    22.png
    23.png
  • 3b. Check the Cable Tension If gears change correctly between lowest to highest but not between lowest to highest gears, the cable tension should be increased. Rotate the barrel adjuster a quarter turn anti-clockwise. Check the gear change by repeating step 3a. Continue to check the gear change, increasing by a quarter turn at a time until the gears operate correctly.

Disc Brakes

Disc brakes have gained popularity due to their better braking performance and especially in bad weather or muddy conditions where they perform much better than traditional rim brakes.

24.png

Adjusting the Mechanical Disc Brakes

  1. Checking the Brake Rotor
    • To check the rotor, either place your bike upside down or place it in a bike stand so that you can turn your wheel freely. Spin the wheel whilst looking down the thin edge of the rotor disk to see any lateral movement. Slight bends in the disc can be straightened with a rotor tool or an adjustable spanner by gently bending it back into shape. Any major distortion would be best corrected by replacing the disc.
  2. Tightening the Brake Cable
    • Begin by turning the barrel adjuster fully in (clockwise), then loosen the cable pinch bolt, pull the cable taut, and re-tighten the pinch bolt taking care not to lift the caliper lever.
  3. Aligning the Caliper Correctly
    • Loosen the two caliper bolts allowing the caliper body to float, then turn the inner pad adjuster all the way in (clockwise) then back off a 1/4 turn. Pull and hold the brake lever tight which then aligns the caliper body to the rotor disc. Tighten the caliper mounting bolts and back off the inner pad adjuster another 1/4 turn or further until the pads are not catching.
  4. Brake Lever Travel
    • Pull the lever a few times checking that the brake fully contacts with the brake lever is around half the travel distance. Too short and it will be difficult to apply the brake sufficiently; too long and the brake engages and the lever may hit the grip before full braking is achieved, meaning you won’t stop. This can be adjusted by turning the inner pad adjuster.

WARNING! Avoid contact with the brake disc after heavy use as it can generate considerable heat to the rotor.

Main Disc Components

  • Caliper to Frame bolts
  • Caliper Mount bolts
  • Rotor - Braking Disc
  • Caliper Arm
  • Cable pinch bolt
  • Brake Cable outer
  • Inner Brake cable
  • Barrel Adjuster
  • PAD Adjustment bolt
  • Split-pin holding the brake pads

    25.png

PLEASE NOTE: The barrel adjuster on the brake cable should not be used to close the gap on the brake pads as this will also affect the travel of the brake lever. The barrel adjuster should be used to tighten the tautness of the brake cable.

26.png

Final Check

Spin the wheel and check the pads are not rubbing. If they are, check the caliper mount bolts and cable pinch bolt are fully tightened. If the pads appear parallel but the pads are still rubbing, loosen one of the mount bolts and move the body of the caliper out slightly, then repeat with the other mount bolt in order to keep the caliper body parallel to the rotor, re-tightening the mount bolts.

Brake Pad Wear

Your brake pad wear will depend on the amount of riding, the terrain, and the weather conditions, so it is important to check pad wear regularly. You can turn the inner pad adjuster clockwise to close the pad-to-disc gap but you will need to re-center the caliper body position by repeating stage 3.

Inspecting & Maintaining the Wheels 

It is essential that you regularly inspect and maintain your wheels, especially if your bike feels unstable or vibrates while riding.

27.png

Inspecting the Trueness of the Wheels Over time, wheels may begin to run out of true. This is when the wheel buckles from side to side. To check this, lift the bike up and spin the wheel. If the wheel wobbles, it is out of true and will need repairing. This requires qualified bike technicians who have the specialist tools to correct.

Inspecting the Wheel Bearings Over the life of your bike, the wheel bearing may become worn and require servicing. To check, hold the bike securely, grab the front or rear wheel at the tire, and vigorously move from side to side. If the wheel moves at the wheel hub (center of the wheel), then the bearings are probably worn and need replacing. This requires a qualified bike mechanic to repair.

Your wheels use Schrader valve innertubes, you can use a standard bicycle pump to inflate your tires. Firstly, unscrew the dust cap to see the valve inside, this allows air to be added or removed. After you inflate to the required pressure, simply remove the pump, the valve self-seals. Release pressure by pressing the center pin of the valve. Replace the dust cap to keep the valve clean.

28.png

Changing/Replacing the Tire/Innertube

29.png
  1. Remove the wheel from the bike, fully deflate the tire. Using your thumb, depress the tire opposite to the innertube valve. Insert a tire lever between the wheel rim and the tire wall. CAUTION! Be careful not to trap the innertube between the tire lever and the wheel.
  2. Pull the hooked end of the tire lever out and down, sliding the hook under a spoke to hold in place, repeat with the other 2 levers at suitable points around the rim as shown.
  3. Once the tire is removed from one side of the wheel rim, carefully remove the innertube starting at the valve.
  4. Before replacing the innertube, check the inner surfaces of the tire and rim for any signs of damage or foreign matter (i.e., thorns or small stones). Check the rim tape making sure it is covering the spoke nipples.
  5. Partially inflate the new innertube using a bike pump. Carefully feed the innertube into the tire starting at the valve fitting through the hole in the wheel rim.
  6. Using your thumb, push the tire back into the rim a small section at a time until too tight to fit by hand, using the tire levers to fit the last section.
  7. As you inflate to full pressure, check by lightly bouncing the wheel around the tire, to ensure the innertube is not trapped at any point between the tire and rim.

Safety on the Roads 

When you join the road system, you must obey the traffic laws like the rest of the vehicles traveling along that road. Always exercise maximum caution on busy roads, especially around large vehicles as you are not always seen. Be careful around parked vehicles and keep at least a door's width away as the door could open without warning.

Wear Bright Clothing 

Be visible on the roads, wear bright and reflective clothing, and always wear an approved safety helmet.

Additional Points

  • The bike has a front and rear light that meets road requirements. The front light is also powered by the main battery, the rear light is powered by its own 2xAAA batteries.
  • The front and rear lights will automatically come on when the bike is powered on.
  • The bike is equipped with a quick-release lever for adjusting the saddle height. Ensure it is correctly tightened before riding.
  • The bike’s pedals are foldable for easy storage and transport. Ensure they are securely unfolded and locked in place before riding.

Routine Maintenance

Before and after each ride

Check to ensure it is safe to use and operating properly.

  1. Check all fixtures and fittings are tight.
  2. Check tyres are inflated correctly between 25-35 psi.
  3. Check that your brakes are operating correctly.
  4. Check your gears work correctly.
  5. Remember if your journey means you will arrive back in the evening that you have working lights.
  6. Check your bike is clean.

Every Month

You should make these checks once a month or after any long rides:

  1. Check the bike is clean and suitably lubricated. Thoroughly clean and de-grease your bike. Ensure the chain, gears, and rear derailleur are adequately lubricated using a suitable lubricant (Recommend 30SAE lubricating oil). Clean off any excess lubricant as this attracts dirt and may prevent the bike from operating correctly.
  2. Check that all parts of the bike are securely fitted. It's essential for your safety that all securing nuts and bolts are fully tightened. Pay particular attention to pedals, wheel nuts, seat post and saddle, and the stem bolts. Whilst holding the bike with one hand, vigorously shake the crank arms and wheels to check for any sideways movement, which would indicate worn bearings. (This would require qualified bike technician help.)

IMPORTANT! PLEASE REMEMBER THAT IT IS IMPORTANT TO USE APPROPRIATE SPARES, i.e., TYRES, INNER TUBES, BRAKE PADS, WHICH ARE SUITABLE FOR YOUR BIKE. A CYCLE SPECIALIST WILL BE ABLE TO ADVISE YOU TO ENSURE YOU FIT ONLY SUITABLE PARTS. THIS ALSO APPLIES TO ANY ACCESSORIES YOU MAY WISH TO ADD TO YOUR BIKE. FITTING COMPONENTS UNSUITABLE FOR YOUR BIKE MAY VOID YOUR WARRANTY.

  1. Check that the tyres are in good condition. Check the outside of each tyre for signs of damage, cuts, deformations, excessive wear or bald spots. If your tyres show any of these signs of damage, it must be replaced immediately. Do not attempt to ride the bike with damaged tyres.
  2. Check the wheel spokes are tight. Check the tightness of the spokes by gently squeezing two spokes together at the same time. If you notice any movement, the spokes may need tightening. Repairing wheels and tightening spokes requires specialist tools and is best undertaken by a qualified bike mechanic. Contact your local bike dealer.

3 Month Inspection

We recommend after 3 months you complete a full service on your bike to keep it in excellent working order. The cables will stretch, requiring adjustment to brakes and gear cables. The simplest way is to take it into your local bike shop, where a qualified bike mechanic will give your bike a quick checkover and make the necessary adjustments, giving you peace of mind.

When stored and not in use, remove the battery and store it in a cool, dry place, charging periodically as the battery will discharge over time of non-use. Failure to do this will result in the battery falling into a dormant state, rendering the battery unrepairable.

Safety on your bike

This bike is designed for general use and not designed to be used off-road or for sporting activity. Incorrect use could potentially cause serious injury. Getting used to your new electric bike is always a wise step to take. It therefore makes common sense, for your first few rides, to choose somewhere away from major roads with traffic, people, and obstacles whilst you become familiar with the controls and gain confidence in how your electro-assist works.

It is now compulsory to always wear a helmet when riding a bike, but there are also other items of protection you might consider...not forgetting your eyes. Most serious cycling accidents involve head injuries, some of which may have been avoided had the rider worn a correct helmet. Check your helmet meets the correct classification standards appropriate for the riding you’re doing. (Check with your local cycle specialist.)

Please make sure you wear clothing and footwear appropriate for riding. Loose clothing and loose shoelaces can cause accidents if caught in moving parts on your bike. Remember, this is the UK, and the weather is changeable. Either wear or pack waterproof clothing.
