Unboxing
Visit www.honbike.com to view corresponding videos to install and use HF01 correctly. Honbike packaging is delicately designed for safe transportation of the electric bicycle. We recommend that you keep Honbike original packaging at least one month in case you need to send your Honbike HF01 for service or maintenance.

Please assemble the bicycle on a smooth indoor surface or carpet to avoid scratching it.

1. Open the carton carefully and try not to damage it.

2. Take out the accessory box, battery and saddle kit separately and put them aside for later use.

3. Take out the upper foam to assist bicycle assembly.

4. Take out the rear fender.

5. Lift the bicycle with one hand while taking the rear wheel out with the other hand, be careful to avoid scratching the paint.

6. Take the bicycle out of the carton, unfold the bicycle frame clockwise and place it on the foam.

7. Use your palm or thumb to push the frame hinge to the bicycle body until hearing a “click”, indicating the frame hinge is locked.
   keep fingers out of the frame hinge.

8. Lay the bicycle onto the foam.

Mount the rear wheel & rear fender

1. Place the unpainted side of the center of the rear wheel onto the bicycle.

2. Loosely tighten the five M6 bolts to the rear wheel using Hex key #4, then firmly tighten each bolt alternating in a diagonal order until all bolts are firmly tightened.

   • Failure to tighten the bolts in diagonal order can lead to an untrue wheel.

3. Snap on the rear wheel bolt cover.

4. Install the bolt on the front side of the rear fender to the drive shaft.

5. Run the rear light cable through the cable guide by moving the brake cable aside and threading it through.
   You can also use the Hex key #2.5 to unscrew the bolt on the cable guide first and then run the rear light cable through.

6. Align the rear light cable arrows and connect the ends together, tuck the cable into the bottom of the battery case as far as possible.
