Folding, Unfolding & Adjusting Your EB-5 eBike

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

• Step 1. Unfold the rear wheel / section and hold your eBike upright with the kickstand.
• Step 2. Push the latch closed so that it’s parallel with the bike’s frame then turn the lock down towards the latch to lock it in place (fig.1).
• Step 3. Pull the head tube and handlebars upright (fig. 2).
• Step 4. Fold the latch up, then turn the lock so that its end is inserted into the latch to lock it in place

Unfolding & Folding the Pedals

• Holding the crank arm vertical, fold or unfold the pedal. Repeat with the other pedal as needed (fig.4 & 5).

Folding the Head Tube

• Turn the lock then unfold the latch by pulling it down away from the tube (fig.6). With the latch undone, fold the head tube and handlebars down against the front wheel (fig.7).

Folding the Frame

• Turn the lock up away from the latch to unlock it. Open the latch by pulling it away from the frame (fig.8). Fold the rear wheel / section towards the bike to finish folding (fig.9), then store the eBike as needed.

Adjusting the Handlebars

• Unfold the clamp to rotate and adjust the direction of the handlebars to a comfortable position. Secure the handlebars by flipping the clamp closed.

Adjusting Handlebar Height

• For more comfortable riding, handlebar height may be adjusted.
• NOTE: Typically, handlebar height and seat height should be the same.
• Open the clamp on the head tube (fig. 10). Pull up or push down the stem to adjust the height, then close the latch to secure the tube and handlebars.

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 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. 11).

Charging Your EB-5 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 remove the rubber stopper 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
• 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.
