E-bike conversion kits are the same as those for regular bicycles.

However, each jurisdiction may have laws regarding permits and regulations for E-bike conver-
sion kits, areas where they can be ridden, minimum riding age, or required equipment (such as
helmets).

Riders are responsible for understanding the local regulations for using such products and
complying with them.

A Note About Warnings


• As you read this manual, you'll see gray warning boxes like this:

WARNING!
Text in a gray box with the safety alert symbol will warn you about a situation or behavior
that could cause severe injury or death.

• The reason for these warnings is that we don't want you - or your loved ones, or your kit - to
get hurt. So please pay attention to the warnings. It's our way of letting you know we care
about your safety.

01
On Your First Ride
• Please be VERY CAREFUL when using the PikaBoost for the first time on your bike, as it
significantly increases the speed compared to a regular bicycle in AUTO cycling type. Before
starting your first ride, make sure to switch off or put PikaBoost on standby mode and find an
open space. Avoid pedaling hard as soon as you start with PikaBoost engaged, as the bike will
continue to accelerate, potentially catching you off guard. However, after a few rides, you will
begin to appreciate the thrilling cycling experience that PikaBoost provides.

*Note that this is a general manual. LIVALL reserves the right to make changes to products and
designs. The products you own may not have the same style as the pictures shown in this

03
Important Safety Information
This product is an e-bike conversion kit equipped with a removable lithium
battery as a power source. Before using PikaBoost for cycling, please read and
comply with the following instructions carefully.

• PikaBoost Can't Protect you in an Accident


When using PikaBoost for cycling, the most common injury is falling down, which could be due to
not switching the riding mode of PikaBoost to standby mode when stopping. PikaBoost can not
avoid being damaged after a fall. If you experience any collision, impact, or accident, please
carefully check yourself for injuries, and then before using PikaBoost for cycling again, please
contact LIVALL technicians for online guidance to thoroughly inspect your PikaBoost.

• Know Your Limits


If you attempt to use PikaBoost beyond your ability range while cycling, there may be a certain
level of danger involved. Please understand your cycling skill level beforehand and refrain from
using it beyond your personal capabilities.

• Lifespan
PikaBoost is not indestructible, and its parts will not last forever. The PikaBoost is made to
withstand the stress of "normal" riding because those stress is well-known and understood.

However, we cannot predict the forces that might occur if you use your PikaBoost in competition,
if you ride in extreme conditions, if it is involved in a crash, if it is used for rentals or commercial
purposes, or if it is used in other ways that apply high stress of fatigue loads.

With damage, the life of any part can be drastically reduced and may fail without warning.
The safe life of a part is determined by its construction, materials, use, maintenance, rider weight,
bicycle type, speed, terrain, and environment (humidity, salinity, temperature, etc.), so it is not
possible to give an accurate timetable for replacement.

Any crack, scratch, or change of color in a high-stress area indicates the part (including the
bracket and housing) has reached the end of its life and should be replaced. If you are not sure or
you don't feel comfortable inspecting or repairing your PikaBoost, consult LIVALL technicians.
Regular maintenance, frequent inspections, and frequent replacement of parts are necessary for
safe use, high-performance PikaBoost.

WARNING!
PikaBoost is subjected to wear and high stress. Different materials and parts may react to wear
or stress fatigue in different ways. If the design life of a part has been exceeded, it may
suddenly fail.

04
• Handle with Care
PikaBoost components are especially vulnerable. The wiring, battery case, and brake controller of
PikaBoost can be easily damaged if handled incorrectly.

• Think Safety
Stay tuned to your environment and avoid dangerous situations which are usually obvious
(traffic, obstacles, drop-offs, and so on), but sometimes are not. Some of the high-risk stunts and
jumps seen in magazines or videos are very dangerous, even skilled athletes get severe injuries
when they crash (and they do crash).
Modifications to your PikaBoost can make it unsafe. Each part of your new PikaBoost has been
carefully chosen and approved. The safety of accessory or replacement parts and especially how
those parts attach and interface with other parts of the PikaBoost is not always apparent. For
this reason, you should only replace parts with original equipment or parts that are approved. If
you are not sure what parts are approved, ask LIVALL technicians.

Examples of modifications include this partial list:


- Physically altering existing parts (sanding, filing, drilling, etc.)
- Purchasing and using lithium batteries that have not been approved by LIVALL
- Adding a motor or engine
- Installing accessories
- Changing parts

WARNING!
Failure to compatibility, properly install, operate, and maintain any component or accessory can
result in serious injury or death.

WARNING!
Changing the components with other than genuine replacement parts may compromise the
safety of your PikaBoost and void the warranty. Check with LIVALL technicians/retailers before
changing the components.

WARNING!
Any accessory or component attached to, on, or near a rotating wheel poses a risk of contact-
ing or stopping the wheel, leading to a crash resulting in serious injury or death. Before every
ride check to ensure that all such accessories and components of PikaBoost are securely
mounted to your bicycle.

05
WARNING!
In non-riding conditions, be sure to use the APP or brake controller to switch PikaBoost to
standby mode to avoid triggering the PikaBoost motor and providing assistance to the bicycle
while walking, which can result in serious injury or death.

New components or accessories could interfere with the operation of your PikaBoost use, includ-
ing the power assistance level, brake sensitivity, and the tightness of the bracket. Always verify
that any new product your purchase for your PikaBoost does not interfere with these functions.

WARNING!
If your PikaBoost's controls are impaired or compromised due to the use of incompatible bikes,
accessories or components, the PikaBoost may stop unexpectedly, or you may lose control of
your bicycle and crash, resulting in serious injury or death.

WARNING!
If your PikaBoost's controls are impaired or compromised due to the use of incompatible bikes,
accessories or components, the PikaBoost may stop unexpectedly, or you may lose control of
your bicycle and crash, resulting in serious injury or death.

These include but are not limited to.


- An unauthorized or incorrectly mounted fender can cause the bike to stop suddenly.
- Mounting PikaBoost on an incompatible bicycle seat post (material, shape, and diameter)
may cause the seat post to break.
- When using the assistance riding mode, installing PikaBoost on a rear tire with a smooth

The PikaBoost's ride types can be categorized into two types,
Smart Assist Ride and Auto Assist Ride.

Smart Assist Ride


Standby mode, assistance mode, and exercise mode are included in the
smart assist ride, which can be selected or switched via the APP.

1. Standby mode
The PikaBoost doesn't engage in assisting the bike or creating resistance.

WARNING!
When in a non-riding state such as walking with the bicycle, it is important to switch the
PikaBoost from riding mode to standby mode using the Brake Controller or APP. This will
avoid the risk of serious injury or death if the PikaBoost starts the motor to provide assis-
tance to the bike during walking.

23
2.Assistance mode
Assistance is only provided during pedaling.

•To speed up, the assistance increases as the pedaling frequency is accelerated.

•To slow down, the assistance decreases as the pedaling frequency is reduced.

Note:
The assistance mode is set as the default mode for the first ride.
The riding mode will default to the mode last used for each ride.

24
3. Exercise mode
PikaBoost doesn't assist your cycling, only adds resistance while converting kinetic energy
into electricxqal energy.

Adjust damping level


The damping level can be set on the APP to adjust the resistance added to the bike:
low(low resistance is provided), medium(normal resistance is provided), and high
(high resistance is provided).

Note: It is recommended to test every resistance level


in an open place to select a suitable level according to
your ability to achieve a reasonable workout effect.

Adjust Regenerative Braking


The level of regenerative braking can be set on the APP. PikaBoost will convert the extra kinetic
energy into electrical energy according to the regenerative level you set on the APP.

25
Auto Assist Ride
There are three riding modes available under the auto assist ride: ECO mode, Free Cruise mode,
and Cruise Control mode. It is necessary to mount the paired remote controller before riding for
using the riding modes of auto assist ride. After mounting the remote controller, you can switch
the riding modes via the APP or remote controller.

Note:
1.ECO mode is available in all countries/regions. It is necessary to mount the remote controller
and press the brake to activate the remote controller before every use.

2.Free Cruise and Cruise Control are only available in countries/regions that support automatic
riding without pedaling. Be sure to select the correct country/region according to your location
and understand local transportation laws before use.

WARNING!
When in a non-riding state such as walking with the bicycle, it is important to switch the
PikaBoost from riding mode to standby mode using the Brake Controller or APP. This will
avoid the risk of serious injury or death if the PikaBoost starts the motor to provide
assistance to the bike during walking.

1. ECO mode
During riding, PikaBoost powers your bike when detecting uphill roads.t
• No support or resistance on flat roads.
• Extra kinetic energy is converted to electrical energy during downhill roads.

Slope sensitivity can be set on the APP.


• PikaBoost provides assistance to your bike during uphill roads and adjusts the lowest
detectable slope according to the slope sensitivity set on the APP.
• Higher slope sensitivity leads to a smaller detectable slope, and the PikaBoost will be more
sensitive to the slope with more timely assistance.

Low slope sensitivity:


assistance will be provided
on a relative big slope.

High slope sensitivity:


assistance can be provided
on a small slope.

26
2.Free Cruise
When PikaBoost detects a ride, it powers your bike and maintain the current speed,
allowing you to enjoy riding at your current speed without pedaling.

•To speed up, the assistance increases as the pedaling frequency is accelerated.

•Press the brake if you need to slow down, and PikaBoost stops powering your bike after the
brake sensor detects the brake action. Then PikaBoost provides corresponding assistance to
maintain riding according to the reduced speed.

Extra kinetic energy is converted to electrical energy during downhill roads and the
regenerative level can be set on the APP.

27
3. Cruise Control
Before use, it is necessary to set up the speed level on the APP.
When PikaBoost detects a ride, it begins to power your bike and increases assistance rate
gradually until it reaches the preset speed level and maintain this speed for riding.

It is recommended to test every speed level in an open place and select a suitable level.
• Press the brake if you need to slow down, and PikaBoost stops powering your bike after
the brake sensor detects the brake action. Then PikaBoost provides corresponding assistance
to maintain riding according to the reduced speed.

• To speed up, the assistance increases as the pedaling frequency is accelerated until the
speed reaches the preset level and then PikaBoost maintains this speed for riding.
Extra kinetic energy is converted to electrical energy during downhill roads and the
regenerative level can be set on the APP.

WARNING!
When in a non-riding state such as walking with the bicycle, it is important to switch the
PikaBoost from riding mode to standby mode using the Brake Controller or APP. This will
avoid the risk of serious injury or death if the PikaBoost starts the motor to provide
assistance to the bike during walking.

28
Switch the Riding Modes
1. Switch the riding modes via the APP

Standby

Enter the PikaBoost page on the APP and tap on the Riding Mode to select one.

2. Switch the riding modes via the remote controller


After mounting the paired remote controller to the handlebar, you can switch the riding modes
by single pressing or double pressing the button on the remote controller.

• Single press:
switch between standby mode and current riding mode

• Double press:
switch between available riding modes

Note: The available riding modes vary between countries.

Note: Please refer to the content of Installation and Usage of the PikaBoost for
detailed instructions.

29
Installation and Usage of the
Remote Controller
Installation of the Remote Controller
If your country/region supports auto assist ride type,
you can enjoy automatic riding after mounting the remote controller to the
bike handlebar and matching it with your PikaBoost.

Functioning Principle
After successfully mounting the remote controller to the handlebar near the rear brake and
the brake is pressed, the brake sensor keeps its distance from the magnet, so the sensor fails
to detect the magnetic field and the receiver detects the braking signal, which will be trans-
mitted to the matched PikaBoost to stop assistance. When you enjoy riding without pressing
the brake, the brake sensor and the magnet stick together, thus the receiver detects the signal
of normal riding and the PikaBoost provides assistance to the bike. Please install the remote
controlleraccording to this principle.
