  • Rungu Dualietm Owner Manual
    V1.0 RUNGU Dualie Owner Manual – 2020 model year Rungu® DualieTM owner manual Congratulations on purchasing a Rungu Dualie1! You own the latest generation of the ultimate electric alternative to a Quad ATV for off-road utility and fun. Before you ride, please read the following instructions carefully. Rungu Dualie uses the Bafang BBSHD mid-drive motor with a custom Rungu 52V (nominal voltage) input that generates more than 1.4kW of mechanical power for off-road use. You access the power by pedaling (“Pedelec”) or pressing the thumb throttle. As a “Pedelec,” the Dualie senses when you start to pedal and engages the motor to assist your pedaling - you don’t have to use the throttle if you don’t want to. The amount of power assist varies based on the power level you select as you ride. Unless you have ordered your Dualie with Class 1 or Class 2 reprogramming, we ship the Dualie configured with five selectable power levels starting with very little assistance up to full power, which is intended for use off- road only. The power settings are discussed below. Note: US Federal Law mandates a 750W/20 MPH limit for riding an e-bike on public roads without a license. Please check with your local government to ensure you follow all local laws and ordinances. Standard Bearer Machines are not liable for those who choose not to follow their local laws. CAUTION: STANDARD BEARER MACHINES WILL NOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR PEOPLE WHO CHOOSE TO DISREGARD THE LAW! WARNING: IMPORTANT- STANDARD BEARER MACHINES WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGE OR INJURY THAT MAY OCCUR DUE TO OPERATION OF YOUR DUALIE.
