The thing about bike manuals is that they all seem to come off the same original draft. Safety stuff, model-generic, and not much else. I think my electric-bike one is the only recent one that had any meaningful material, and even that was limited for what I had to know and learn. I still have the binders/manuals that came with my KAYPRO 10 and my HP Omnibook, but I don't remember bikes ever coming with good bike/model-specific manuals. I don't think you'll find a helpful manual anywhere for that Roll because one was never printed.
The Roll 8 is nothing like the Roll, I’m afraid. Though the Roll 8 does look like a very nice bike. This is the Roll Elite. It’s name is Rocinante.
You’re right about the manuals. My wife’s Pedego had more actual info (though not all that much).
Sheldon Brown of happy memory had some great, but rather general stuff. Park Tools definitely has more.
