Attach and adjust the handlebar

Your handlebars have two main parts–the bar itself and the stem.On some models, the stem can be adjusted to tip the handlebar forward or back. If your bar has been removed for shipping, position the bar in the center of the stem and check, to be sure that your grips are in the right place and the angle of the bar is comfortable. Tighten the screws to hold the bar in place, ensuring all brake cables is clear, the suggested torque is 13-14N.m

The stem must be inserted to the Minimum depth or lower as indicated on the steer post to insure the safety, see the picture. Tighten the stem screw located on the top of the handlebar stem. You may adjust the handlebar stem angle by loosening the Allen key screw located underneath the stem. Tighten the stem, adjustment screw securely after positioning the stem angle.The tightening torque between the handlebar and the frame stem should be bigger that 18-20N.m Check that the forks and the handlebars are facing forward and straight. Stand at the front of the handlebar, vise the front wheel by your legs and hold the handlebar , adjust the hadlebar and the body of the bicycle to form an angle of 90degree, see the picture.
Some models have a light/power meter console that attaches to the handlebar. Attach this with the plastic brackets and screws provided.
The adjustment of the wheel:
After loose the wheel, please adjust it according to the recommend torque. The fasten torque should be no less than 30Nm for the rear wheel. The fasten torque of the front wheel should be no less than 25 N.m

Check and adjust the DISC BRAKES

Left for rear brake, right for front brake.

1. Check the tightness of the six disc mounting bolts holding the brake rotor onto the wheel. If you need to remove these bolts, be sure to us a thread-locking compound when re-installing them.
2. Make sure the two bolts securing the caliper adaptor bracket to the fork are tight.
3. Thread the brake cable through the caliper as shown and secure it with the cable fixing bolt.
4. Loosen the two caliper mounting bolts enough to allow the brake caliper to float freely.

Adjust the Saddle
Your seat will tip forward for easy battery removal on most models.
Your seat height is adjusted by a quick release. Pull the quick release lever, Insert your seat post to at least the minimum insertion line marked on the post. Tighten the adjusting nut by quick release lever, then push the quick release lever to the closed position, the suggested torque is no less than 19.5N.m.
The seat angle is adjusted with the nuts that attach the seat to the seat rail. Ensure that the nuts are tightened firmly and that the seat does not move forward or back while you are sitting on it. Adjustment of the seat post
The adjustment method is as follows :
Loose the hand release of the seat post, take out the seat post; Adjust the screw , Take the seat post back the the frame tube as former station, and tighten the clamp of the seat position.

Attach the Pedals

Pedals are marked „L‟ and „R‟ on axle end, Screw the pedal marked „L‟ into the left side of crank and „R‟ to right.

1. The right pedal attaches to the chain side crank arm with (clockwise) thread
2. The left pedal attaches to the other arm and has a left-hand (counter clockwise) thread.

Check your pedals before each ride to ensure that they are tight. If you ride your bike with loose pedals, you may strip the threads that hold the pedal to the crank.

Operation of Your Electric Bike

Your e-bike is driven by a motor embedded in the hub of the rear wheel and can not be driven directly by throttle. The motor is powered by a battery. The amount of power delivered to the motor, and hence the accelerating force on the e-bike, is controlled by you
in a way according to the power-assisted mode you choose.
Electric -Assisted:
You must turn on the battery to use the e-bike in Electric-Assisted mode.
In the Electric-Assisted model, power assist is triggered when you pedal forward, and power assist stop when you stop pedaling. In other words, power assist happens as long as you pedal. You don’t need to pedal hard. All you need is to apply a light force to the pedals continuously to maintain the current flow. When you apply one of the brakes, power-assist will automatically stop.allowing the e-bike to slow down and stop. Power assist will turn itself off when the e-bike has reached the maximum speed of 25km/h.
You should use the SHIMANO gear shifter at the handlebar to set the gears appropriately according to road conditions and pedal as usual, you will find that you need to exert a lot less effort and the e-bike travels faster and at a more steady speed.
Note that the Battery level indicators on the handle bar will show the correct level only when power is not being drawn from the battery.

Charging Your Battery

Fully charge your battery before your first ride and then after any operation, especially after long distance riding
Your charger plugs directly to your battery pack with either a round (RCA or XLR) connector or the same 3-prong plug as your bikes power cord.
You must plug your charger to the bike first and then to the wall outlet. NEVER PLUG A POWER CORD FROM A WALL OUTLET DIRECTLY INTO THE BATTERY!
YOU MUST USE YOUR CHARGER!
The light on the charger will be red while charging and turn green when finished. When the charger‟s light turns green, please keep on charging the battery for 1-2 hours to ensure that the battery has a longer usage life. Then unplug your charger from the battery and the wall.
Always charge your battery before it gets too low. If you let your pack run completely dead, it may not re-charge. It is a good idea to turn the key to the position OFF and remove your key after any ride so that it will not be left on accidentally.
Your lithium battery pack switch has three positions. All the way to the left is “off”. Turn the key to the right to turn the bike on.
To unlock the pack, push the key in slightly and turn to the left. It can then be removed. Push-in and turn right to lock it on.
The red button on top of the pack shows the power level when pushed. The first light only comes on when the battery is too low to run the bike. The next lights indicate low, medium, and full. The lights on the handlebar also show the level.
Remember: the sooner you charge after riding the longer your pack will last.
The Lithium battery is built with circuitry that prohibits over-charging and excessive discharging.
The battery charger is designed specifically for the bike; connecting the battery to any other charger will void the warranty

Adjustments and Maintenance

• Your e-bike is designed for regular road for a single person. Using your e-bike for extreme maneuvers, such as extreme off-road use, jumping, or carrying excessive load will damage the ebike and could cause serious injury.

• Do not use high pressure water streams to clean your e-bike, as water might seep inside the motor or the wiring compartment and cause rusting of electric parts or short circuits. Please use damp cloth with neutral detergent to clean the bike body. Do not use alkali-based or caid based detergent such as rust cleaners as it may result in damage and/or failure of the bike body.

• Avoid parking your e-bike outside when there is rain or snow. At the end of a trip where there was rain or snow, bring the e-bike inside and use a clean, dry towel to eliminate any wetness.

• During daily use,please keep the controller clean and dry.keep it away from water,vibration and ontamination, otherwise the controller may be damaged.
  Warning!
  Don not over lubricate. If oil gets on the wheel rims or the brake shoes, it will reduce brake performance and a long distance to stop the bicycle will be necessary. Injury to the rider or to others can occur.

• The chain can throw excess oil onto the wheel rim. Wipe excess oil off the chain. Keep all oil off the surfaces of the pedals where your feet rest.

• Using soap and hot water,wash all oil off the wheel rims,the brake shoes,the pedals,and the tires.Rinse with clean water and dry completely before you ride the bicycle.

• Using a light machine oil (20W) and the following guidelines,lubricate the bicycle:

Pedal| Every 6 months| Put 4 drops of oil where catch pedal axle goes into the pedal
---|---|---
Chain| Every 6 months| Put 1 drop of oil on each roller of the chain
B.B.| Every 6 months| Contact a professional technician
Motor| Every 1 year| Contact a professional technician

Some instructions on battery maintenance and charging

1. Please charge the battery for 6-10 hours after its energy is consumed for 50%-70% of its total energy , in this way, the battery life will be longer. If you leave the battery pack in your stock in less energy condition, it will sleep to die easy. So please charge the battery pack full after each long distance ride. Do not charge the battery for a long time (that is “exceeds 10 hours”) in summer; in case that the battery will be calorifacient and broken.
