Assembling Instruction

Front Wheel Installation

CAUTION: Your Electric bike equips with a front disk brake. Be careful not to damage the disk, caliper, or brake pads when reinserting the disk into the caliper. Never activate a disk brake’s control lever unless the disk inserts correctly in the caliper.

1. Carefully take your bike out of the carton and gently rest it in place with the kickstand down

2. Remove all of the inside cardboard protection and bubble wrap on the bike. Please locate and set aside the kit box containing the battery charger, pedals, and tool kit, etc. (Figure.1-2).
   

3. Remove the rubber pad and metal block from the front wheel and front fork (Figure.1-3).
   

4. With the steering fork facing forward, insert the front wheel between the fork blades so that the axle seats firmly at the top of the fork dropouts (Figure. 1-4).
   

5. Push the wheel firmly to the top of the slots in the fork dropouts, and center the wheel rim in the  fork at the same time.

6. Use the Wrench to tighten the nuts of the front wheel(Figure. 1-5).

Handle Bar, Display Installation

1. Loose the bolts on top of the front fork (Figure. 2-1).

2. Install the handlebar bracket and then tighten the bolts slightly(Figure. 2-2).
   

3. Unscrew the four screws in front of the bracket(Figure. 2-3) , place the handlebar on the bracket and then tighten the screws (Figure. 2-4) ,

4. Once the handlebars are aligned and the four bolts are secured, tighten the 2 blots after adjusting the handlebar to a comfortable distance (Figure. 2-5).
   

5. Unscrew the two screws on display, then install the display on the center of the handlebar(the rubber gasket is necessary for this bike)(Figure 2-6), then install the control panel (the buttons) on the driver side of the handle(Figure 2-7), then connect the quick release connector, it has arrows on both ends of the connector, you can plug the connector easily with aligning arrows (Figure 2-8).
   

  Seat Post Installation

1. Please pay attention to the vertical lines on the seat post; it is the  minimum insert line/safety line.
   Please make sure install the post into the frame deeper than the minimum insertion line. It is at the bottom of the seat post (Figure. 3-1).
   
   Warning: It could break the seat tube during riding if the seat post does not install correctly. It is not covered by the warranty.

2. Open the clamp on the seat tube, insert the seat post into the seat tube, adjust the seat to a comfortable height, tighten the tension adjusting nut, and press the clamp lever inward toward the seat tube(Figure. 3-2).
   
   Please Note: If necessary, tighten the clamp by twisting the clamp handle clockwise while in the un-clamped position. Then, fold the handle in toward the seat post. This should require a fair amount of force to ensure the seat post is held tight. If necessary, the clamp can be further tightened with a 5 mm Allen wrench while in the clamped position.

Pedals Installation

1. Identify left vs. right pedal
   There is an “L” or “R” stamped into the axle (the threaded part that looks like a screw) (Figure. 4-1)
   Please Note: They are not the same!! Apply a small amount of grease if possible.

2. Install the left-hand pedal firstly
   You will have to screw it in counter-clockwise because the threading is the reverse of a normal screw.
   Do this by slowly pedaling the cranks backward. If the pedal feels stiff, stop, and then re-try, it should feel like a smooth motion. Please do not use the wrench until you are ready to tighten it for the final few turns. Tighten it down until you can’t anymore (Figure. 4-3).
   Please Note: Hand-tight is not sufficient. Use a tool. If the threads on the crank are stripped after riding, it means the crank needs to replace. It is NOT covered by warranty.

3. Install the right-hand pedal
   This one threads in clockwise, like a normal screw. Follow the same principals, as discussed in step 2 for the left pedal (Figure. 4-2).
   

4. Wipe off any excess grease from around the crank.

Troubleshooting

We fully understand your feelings when you meet a problem with the bike. Contacting us on the website where you bought the bike and telling us your problem in detail with some pictures and videos will be the fastest and easiest way to help you solve the problem. Please don’t forget to leave your order number to us for reference.
The following are some assist tips for electrical problems:

The display can not light up

Please fully charge the battery (6-8 hours). The LED on the charger should be green color when the battery is full charged.
If it still doesn’t work, please check the wires and battery, please make sure the connections are not loose, and the battery installs in place, then please light up the display in the correct order (light up the power button on the battery, press the “M” button, and hold 3 seconds).
If it still doesn’t work, we need to get a voltmeter, and do some testing:
First, please light up the power button, and test the battery output voltage (Figure 8-1). If the voltage is “0”, it means there is something wrong with the battery output plug, cell, or fuse. Please take a picture or a video to show your testing result, and then send it to us. The customer service department will give you a solution. If the battery voltage is not “0”, but less than 42V, please full charge the battery (6-8 hours), then test it again; if the battery voltage is between 42-54v, but the display can not be light up, it means the battery is in good condition, we need to test the other two plugs.
Second, please open the controller box, and find the power wire (black and red color) that connecting the battery and controller (Figure. 8-2). Please test the power wire’s voltage. If it is “0”, it means the power wire needs to replace, please take pictures, and send the pics to us. If the voltage is the same as the battery, there’s no problem with the power wire. We need to test the output voltage of the controller. It is the plug that connects the controller and display. It has five wires on the plug, please test the red and black wires (Figure. 8-3). If the voltage is “0”, it means the controller needs to be replaced, please take some pictures and send them to us; if the voltage is the same as the battery, it means the display needs to be replaced. Please picture the testing results and send them to us. It will help us for solving your problem asap.

The throttle does not work

We mean the display can be lighted up, with no error codes, but the throttle does not work. The brakes have two functions when you press the brake lever:

1. it will stop the bike 2. it will cut the power of the motor.
   First, please check the brake lever, and make sure the brake lever can hold or release fluently. If not, maybe the brake cut the power. Please video your problem and send it to us. We will give you a solution.
   Second, please make sure the number behind “PAS” is bigger than “0”. If the number is “0”, it means no throttle or no pedal assist. Please test the pedal assist mode (please lift the rear wheel, then turn the crank a whole cycle), and walk assist mode(press the “down” button and hold 3 seconds). If only the throttle does not work, it means the throttle needs to be replaced. Please video your testing and send the video to us. If none of the three modes works, we need to test the motor wire and brake sensor.
   Third, please find the plug on the motor wire (Figure. 9-1), the connection may loose. Please re-plug it, restart the bike, and then test all three modes, if it still doesn’t work, we need to check the brake sensor.
   Fourth, please open the controller box (Figure. 9-2), and find the two plugs that connect the brake levers and controller. It is the only two plugs that have two wires on each plug (Figure. 9-3). Please disconnect them , then test all three modes again. If they work, it means the brake sensor is defective.
   The brake wires need to be replaced. If it still doesn’t work, it means the controller needs to be replaced. Please video your problem, and send the video to us.
   If it still doesn’t work after replacing the brake wire or controller, please video how you do the troubleshooting, and send the video to us.
   

Error Codes

When something goes wrong with the system, an error code will flash on display. Check the details on the attached list.
Please note: The motor will stop working in the event of an error. Only when the error is gone, the motor will work again. Please send us a pic to show the error code. It will help us a lot in solving your problem as soon as possible.

Error Codes:

CODE 0: Normal.
ERROR 02: The controller or motor needs to replace.
ERROR 03: The controller needs to replace.
ERROR 04: Turn the throttle in the opposite direction. Maybe the throttle does not return to the original position. If still not solved, the throttle needs to replace.
ERROR 05: Replace the controller or motor.
ERROR 08: Please fully charge the battery until the LED on the charger turns to green color (6-8 hours);
if still not solved, please test the output voltage of the battery, and send us a pic to show your result.
ERROR 09: Please test the output voltage of the battery, and send us a pic to show your result.
ERROR 10: Please find the plug that connects the controller and motor, please re-plug it, maybe the connection is loose; if still not solved, please video your problem and send your video to us.

FAQ

Q: How does after-sale customer service/ warranty work?
A: When you have problems with your bike, please message us on the website where you bought the bike. We will reply to you in one business day. It is best to describe your problem in details, and make a video to show your concern, it is the fastest way to solving your problem. Example: My bike does not work. The customer should tell us that the display can be lighted up, but the throttle does not work. When you have electrical problems, the first thing we want to know is the display can be lighted up or not, (The condition of the display will help us to distinguish how to solve the electrical problems), then please provide more details about how it happens and the symptom of the problem. We will report your problem/video to our technician team, and give you a solution. If your bike is under warranty, we will arrange spare parts from our warehouse in the USA.

Q: I’m tech inclined and think I can fix it myself, does that void the warranty if I do?
A: No, we always like to work with and support customers who are resourceful enough to fix an issue on their own, and we will provide plenty of tech support over email to guide you through the process. It saves wasted time and expense in shipping and it can be a useful and fun learning process. Please contact us before attempting a DIY repair, however, as some things have non obvious complications.

Q:Why is the charger hot?
A: When the battery is charging, it is normal that the charger is getting hot, because part of the energy is converted into heat energy when converting AC to DC. As long as there’s no smell, you don’t need to worry about it. However, it’s better to put it in a ventilated place, because the heat will accelerate the aging of electronic components

Q:What is the range of this bike?
A: We try to give an exact number, but the range is related to the road conditions, rider’s weight, wind resistance, ramp or not, and how you ride the bike. We test the bike on the city road, (slight wind, flat highway, rider 160lbs, throttle, and pedal assist), the range is 20 miles. Suppose you can ride 16-23 miles. It is normal. Full charging the bike, and pump up the tire full will Increase range.

Q: Can I ride the bike in the rain?
A: Yes, ride the bike in moderate or light rain is no problem. Please make sure the bike is bone dry before next riding, or the bike will cut-off randomly. But do not park the bike in rain and never wading in water.
The battery and controller have a self-protection program, they will cut the power if there is a short, but water damage will destroy the the bike’s electrics.

Q: What is the most important thing for maintaining battery?
A: Remember to charge the bike in time, and not leave the bike with an empty battery. Remember to charge the battery once a month if you do not use it for a long time, or the battery will starve to death as no power. It will result in a short-range or display can not light up.

Q: Do you have spare keys for the E-bike?
A: Sorry, we do not have spare keys, but spare lock-set. You should replace the whole lock set if you lost the keys. Remember to keep a copy of the key if necessary.

Battery And Charger Care

The charger will charge a fully depleted battery in 6—8 hours. The indicator light on the charger will be red when the battery is charging and will turn green when fully charged.

Avoid subjecting the battery to high temperatures, such as directly under the sun, for prolonged periods.

Recharge the battery before it becomes completely discharged. Completely discharging will reduce the numbers of recharging cycles during the battery’s life and limit the capacity. Never store the battery in a discharged state. After much use, your battery’s charge-holding capacity will decrease. If you find that your battery does not hold a sufficient charge, you should contact us to order a replacement.
If the battery is not used for an extended period, charge it fully and recharge it every two months. Store it in a cool, dry place. Your battery is engineered with precision for high capacity and a long, useful life.
Please do not use it to power other electrical devices. Improper use of the battery will damage the battery and shorten its useful life and may cause fire or an explosion. If you experience unusual sounds or odors coming from the charger or the battery, unplug the charger immediately and contact customer service.

Recharge the battery after every use.
Do not disassemble or alter the battery or battery charger.
Do not place the battery near fire or corrosive substances.
Do not charge the battery indoors.
Do not allow any liquids on or inside the battery/charger.
Do not expose the battery/charger to extreme weather conditions.
Do not operate the battery/charger if damaged.
Recharge the battery only with a charger specified by the manufacturer.
Do not use the battery/charger for any use other than its intended purpose.
Only use the battery/charger on approved products.

Please instruct your children to keep away from the charging place.

WARNING RISK OF FIRE NO USER SERVICEABLE PARTS

USER MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS

Having an electric bike that breaks down or isn’t running smoothly is a real pain. Here are few simple things you can do to avoid this and keep it running smoother for longer.

Electric bikes are bicycles that have additional technology to provide pedal assistance. Because they tend to get used so much more, and at greater average speeds, maintenance is a critical factor in keeping them running smoothly.

You don’t need to have a fancy workshop, do these few simple things

Bicycle maintenance
Regularly check the significant touch point bolts for tightness – handlebars, seat rails, wheels etc. If any of these come off while riding, it can be dangerous! Riding with loose bolts can be an expensive and inconvenient repair.
Lube your chain regularly
Check tire pressures at least once a week. Pump up to the recommended pressures if needed.
Clean your ebike with a regular hose and / or bucket & brush. Avoid high pressure water systems as you don’t want to get water in the electrics!

Wiring. Be careful not to knock your wiring, particularly on things such as lights, motor cables near wheels, sensor cables etc

Batteries. See our article on battery care and safety. Also, take care of sliding your battery in and out, so you don’t bend any battery plate nodes.

The next best thing you can do for your ebike is to get it serviced regularly by a skilled mechanic – preferably one with experience working on electric bikes! Find or avoid problems before they happen.

MOVING AND STORAGE INSTRUCTIONS

There is very little to do in terms of electrics maintenance however the main thing is to take care!
Particularly when you are moving your ebike in and out of cars, stairs or tricky storage places.
Prolonged Exposure to UV Rays, Rain and the Elements May Damage the Enclosure Materials, Store Indoors When Not in Use.

Safety

Helmet:
Always wear an approved helmet while riding your bike and follow the helmet manufacturer’s instructions for it, use and care of your helmet.
It is your responsibility to familiarize yourself with the laws of where you ride your Bike and comply with all applicable laws.

Mechanical Safety Check:
Check the condition of your Bike before every ride. Make sure no nuts, bolts or fixing are loose, with particular attention to the axle nuts and handlebar stem. Make sure the tires are correctly inflated with the recommended air pressure that locates on the side wall of every tire. Check the brakes for proper operation. You must take your bike in to be serviced and checked by a qualified bike mechanic before 100 miles (161 kilometers) of riding. This is a standard good practice for any new bike as cables will stretch, and components will “bed in”. The service must include spokes tension for both front and rear wheels.

Your First Ride:
When you buckle on your helmet and go for your first ride, be sure to pick an area away from cars, other cyclists, obstacles, or other hazards to become familiar with the controls, features, and performance of your new Bike.

General Operating Rules:

• When riding, obey the same road laws as all other road vehicles as  applicable by law in your area.
• Ride predictably, in a straight line, and with the flow of traffic. Never  ride against traffic.
• Concentrate on the path ahead. Avoid potholes, gravel, wet or oily roads, wet leaves, curbs, train tracks, speed bumps, drain gates, thorns, broken glass, and other obstacles, hazards, and puncture flat risks.
• Expect the unexpected such as opening car doors or cars backing out of driveways.
• Be careful at intersections and when preparing to pass other vehicles or other cyclists.
• Familiarize yourself with all the features and operations of the bike. Practice and become proficient at shifting gears, applying the brakes, using the power assist system, and using the throttle in a controlled setting before riding in riskier conditions.
• Wear proper riding clothes including closed-toe shoes. If you are wearing loose pants, secure the bottom using leg clips or elastic bands to prevent them from being caught in the chain or gears. Do not use items that may restrict your hearing.
• When braking, apply the rear brake first, then the front brake. If brakes are not correctly applied, they may lock up, you may lose control, and you could fall.
• When the gear shifter is on 7, it will bring a faster speed when you add more effort for pedaling. On a flat road, the gear shifter can be adjusted to 7 to obtain a faster speed.
• When the gear shifter is on 1, it will be easier for pedaling, but the speed will be slower. The derailleur can be adjusted to 1 so that the rider can easily climb uphill.
• It should be noted that the speed of the bicycle can be increased through the adjustment of the transmission, but you must not blindly increase the speed and ignore your own safety. Cycling is a good sport, but you must pay attention to safety.
• Off-road riding requires close attention and specific skills, and it presents variable conditions and hazards. Wear appropriate safety gear and don ’ t ride alone in remote areas. Check local rules and regulations about whether off-road ebike riding is allowed.

Wet Weather:
It is recommended to not ride in wet weather if avoidable. If you had to ride in wet weather, please pay attention to the following：

• Before riding, check whether the various functions of the bicycle can work normally, especially the brakes.
• In wet weather you need to take extra care when operating this bike.
• Decrease riding speed to help you control the bike in slippery conditions.
• Brake earlier since it will take longer to slow than when operated in dry conditions.
• Take care to be more visible to others on the road. Wear reflective clothing and use approved safety lights.
• Road hazards are more difficult to see when wet, proceed with caution.

Night Riding:
It is recommended to not ride at night if avoidable. If you had to ride at night, please pay attention to the following：

• Wear reflective and light-colored clothing.
• Slow down and use familiar roads with street lighting, if possible.
• Ensure tire wall, pedal, and other reflectors are installed and unobstructed.
• Ensure the bike is equipped with head and tail lights and works properly.

Additional Passengers:
The Bike bikes are designed for one passenger only (excluding Tandems). DO NOT carry any additional passengers on the front or rear of the bike.

Weight Capacity:
These Electric Bikes are designed with a maximum weight capacity of 200 pounds for all models. The rear rack maximum weight capacity of a Bike (if applicable) is 25 pounds. Exceeding the maximum weight capacity can result in damage of the bike, which can lead to serious injury.

Tires & Wheels:
Make sure tires are correctly inflated. Check by putting one hand on the saddle, one on the intersection of the handlebars and stem, then bouncing your weight on the bike while looking at tire deflection.
Compare what you see with how it looks when you know the tires are correctly inflated; and adjust if necessary. Tires in good shape? Spin each wheel slowly and look for cuts in the tread and sidewall.
Replace damaged tires before riding the bike. Are wheels true? Spin each wheel and check for brake clearance and side-to-side wobble. If a wheel wobbles side to side even slightly, or rubs against or hits the brake pads, take the bike to a qualified bike shop to have the wheel  trued.

General Warning

Like any sport, bicycling involves the risk of injury and damage. By choosing to ride a bicycle, you assume the responsibility for that risk, so you need to know — and practice— the rules of safe and responsible riding and proper use and maintenance. Proper usage and maintenance of your bicycle reduces the risk of injury.
Your electric bicycle is designed for use by persons 16 years old or older. Riders must have the physical coordination, reaction time and mental capability to ride and manage traffic, road conditions, sudden situations and respect the laws governing bicycle use where they ride, regardless of age. If you have an impairment or disability such as a visual impairment, hearing impairment, physical impairment, cognitive/language impairment, or a seizure disorder, consult your physician before riding any bicycle.

A special note for parents
As a parent or guardian, you are responsible for the activities and safety of your child, and that includes making sure that the bicycle is properly fitted to the child; that it is in good repair and safe operating condition; that you and your child have learned and understand the safe operation of the bicycle; and that you and your child have learned, understand and obey not only the applicable local motor vehicle, bicycle and traffic laws, but also the common sense rules of safe and responsible bicycling.
