PRODUCT SAFETY NOTICE

The SWAGTRON® EB-8 eBike has been designed with the utmost safety in mind for its riders. Extra precautions have been taken to protect the user from product hardware malfunctions through our meticulous design and engineering.
However, like any mode of transportation, the SWAGTRON® EB-8 eBike has inherent hazards associated with its use (e.g.: losing control, falling off, or riding into a hazardous situation). Be sure to read and follow all instructions and safety recommendations in this user manual prior to and when riding your eBike.
Before each ride, especially if you may travel a long distance, inspect your bike. First, check the tires for
proper inflation and cracks on the walls of the tires. Keeping the tires properly inflated and maintained
will help prevent flats and damage. Second, check all cables and cable housings for fraying, breaks, rust, or corrosion and replace if necessary. Lastly, inspect the brakes to make sure they are working properly. Additionally, check the brake pads for any damage as they will wear over time and eventually need replacement.
If a replacement of the brake pads or any other part is needed, please contact customer support for replacement service. In general, it is recommended to make sure all nuts and bolts are taut and properly fastened to prevent injury and unnecessary wear and tear on your eBike.

This device requires coordination, agility, and balance. Use your best judgment to determine if an individual can use the SWAGTRON® EB-8 eBike safely.

Section 2. Folding, Unfolding & Adjusting Your SWAGTRON® EB-8 eBike

WARNING: Be careful not to position your fingers between the latch and the frame. Doing so may result in injury.

Attaching the Handlebars

Use the included allen key to loosen the cover’s screws (fig.1), then remove the cover and set it aside. Next, carefully remove the handlebars from the folded eBike (fig.2). Ask someone to help hold the handlebars in place, then re-install the cover and tighten the screws (fig.3) to fix the handlebars in place.

Unfolding the Frame

Unfold the rear wheel / section and hold your eBike upright with the kickstand. Push the latch closed so that it’s parallel with the bike’s frame then turn the latch lock down towards the latch to lock it in place (fig.4).

Adjusting the Seat Height

For better pedaling, safety, and overall comfort, positioning the seat at the right height is key. The rider’s leg length is used to determine the seat’s position. During pedaling, your hips should remain level and your legs shouldn’t over-extend. To determine the right seat height, sit on the eBike with one pedal at its lowest point and place the ball of your foot on the pedal. If your knee bends slightly at this position, the seat is at the right height. Additionally, when placing your heel on the pedal, your leg should be nearly straight.

First, open the clamp under the seat post. Pull the seat up or push it down to adjust height. Check to make sure the seat post is fully inserted into the frame and the head of the seat is parallel with the frame. Lastly, close the clamp to secure the seat in place (fig. 5).

Unfolding & Folding the Pedals

Holding the crank arm vertical, fold or unfold the pedal. Repeat with the other pedal as needed (fig.6).

Folding the Frame

Turn the latch lock up away the latch. Open the latch by pulling it away from the frame (fig.7). Fold the rear wheel / section towards the other wheel (fig.8) and use the stand as needed.

Detaching the Handlebars

Use the included allen key to loosen the cover’s screws (fig.9), then remove the cover and set it aside.
With the frame folded, carefully place the handlebars between and over the top of the two wheels (fig.10). Lastly, re-install the cover and tighten the screws (fig.11) to fix the handlebars in place. Use the stand and/or store the eBike as needed.
