Assembling, Adjusting Your SWAGTRON® EB-6 eBike

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

Installing the Front Wheel

For initial assembly, you will need to ask for someone’s help.

• Step 1. Have someone hold the front wheel upright on the floor (fig.1).
• Step 2. Pick up your eBike, line up the fork with the axle at the center of the wheel, and fit the two together. (fig.1).
• Step 3. On one side of the wheel, slide 1x black spacer on the axle then add 1x nut and tighten slightly (fig.2). Repeat on the other side of the axle with the other black spacer and nut. Use the included wrench to fully tighten each nut.

An extra spacer may have been included with your bike. If the front brake is difficult to adjust and/ or use, add this spacer between the front fork and wheel on the left side (left side when seated on the bike). If this part was not included with your bike or you otherwise need a replacement, please contact customer service.

Adjusting 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 while your legs shouldn’t suffer strain from over-extension. 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. 3).

Attaching the Pedals

Before installing the pedals, please check each for a small letter to indicate which side of the bike the pedal should be attached to. L is for the left side while R is for the right side (fig.4). With the kickstand holding your eBike upright, screw the pedals onto the crank arms (fig.5) and tighten them with the included wrench.

Charging Your SWAGTRON® EB-6 eBike

_ WARNING: _Ensure the eBike is turned off before charging and remains off while charging.

• Step 1. Connect the charging adapter and cable together then turn the rubber cap covering the charging port.
• Step 2. Insert one end of the charging cable into the charging port and connect the other end to a wall outlet.
• Step 3. Allow at least 5 hours when charging for the first time. After this initial charge, average charging time is 4-5 hours.
• Step 4. While the eBike is charging, the adapter’s indicator light will turn red.
• Step 5. When the eBike is fully recharged, the adapter’s indicator light will turn green. You may then disconnect the eBike from the charger.

How to Detach the Battery

For your convenience, the EB-6’s battery can be removed for easier charging and/or an extra measure of security.

• Step 1. Open the latch under the seat, remove the seat from the seat post and set it aside.
• Step 2. Use the included keys to unlock the battery via the keyhole near the charging port (fig.7). To unlock the battery, insert the key, push it in, and turn it counterclockwise to the UNLOCK position.
  • NOTE: You must push the key in and turn it at the same time.
• Step 3. Use the handle on top of the battery to pull it up and remove it (fig.8).
• Step 4. Reinstall the battery, lock it, and replace the seat as needed. To lock the battery in place and/or turn it on or off, insert the key into the keyhole, then turn the key clockwise to the ON or OFF positions.

NOTE: To use the throttle, the battery must be ON. To turn it off when you will not use the battery, turn the key to the OFF position.
