Operating Instructions
Using the Rear Storage Compartment
The rear storage compartment is opened using the key provided to you when you
purchased your e-bike. Insert the key and turn it to the right to open the compartment.
Close the case and turn the key in the opposite direction to lock the compartment again.
You can use this compartment to store the charger and associated cables, so you can
recharge your e-bike if it runs out of power. It can also hold a locking mechanism, such a u-
lock, for added security when parking your e-bike.
The space provided is perfectly suited for these purposes.
Opening the Seat Trunk
Note Because your Austin e-bike has a double battery, the seat trunk is actually used to
contain the second, or spare, battery. There may be some small storage space
available inside, but it is best not to use it, as the battery should be left free from
obstruction.
To open the seat trunk, insert the key into the lock on the left side of the e-bike just below
the seat. Turn it all the way to the right. The seat will snap open and pop up.
To close the seat trunk, make sure that there is nothing blocking the locking mechanism,
such as items you have placed in the storage compartment, and push the seat down with
force. You will hear a “click” sound when it is properly closed.
Note The seat trunk will not open if you are sitting on it.
Parking and Locking your E-Bike
When you want to park your e-bike for a short time, either when you have reached your
destination or are at home, follow these steps:
1. Stop the e-bike and position it as you want it.
2. Get off the e-bike, making sure to keep it balanced.
3. Stand to the side and slightly to the rear of the e-bike.
4. Hold the kickstand with one foot, and hold on to the e-bike by the rear basket bracket.
This bracket is made of metal and will hold the e-bike’s weight.
5. Pull the back of the seat up and towards you. The e-bike will move backwards. The
kickstand will hold the e-bike in place and anchor the bike.
6. Lock your e-bike to a bicycle locking post or other secure object through the rear
wheel frame or one of the metal frame components.
Warning
Do not let your e-bike drop or fall. The exterior may be damaged. The
fall may damage other components inside the e-bike, as well.
