Product Overview

Assembly Instruction

https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLY2mr2usEhKHF8L_Qrf_jY0CFlBEmzat9

Congratulations on your purchase of a Heybike Ranger S electric bike! The instructions that follow are intended to serve as a guide in unboxing and getting familiar with your new bike.
Please visit www.heybike.com for additional help with assembly, including a step-by-step video.
Or you can Scan the code to download the tutorial about how to assemble the bike.
If you do not feel comfortable assembling the bike yourself, we recommend taking your new bike to a bike shop for assembly and inspection. If you are willing to assemble the bike yourself, be sure to follow all instructions, properly adjust gears and brakes, and set tire pressure.
Step 1–Front Wheel
Note: When properly installed, the front wheel should be fully seated and centered in the dropouts of the front fork. The brake rotor should be in between the brake pads in the brake caliper, and the front fork nut should be fully and properly secured. Ensure the front wheel is properly secured before moving on to the next step.

Step 2–Handlebar

Step 3–Headlight & Front Fender

Step 4–Pedels
Note: If the pedal/chain doesn’t run smoothly or something seems misaligned, please contacHeybike Support.

Step 5–Seat
Positioning the seat at the right height is key for better pedaling, safety, and overall comfort.
The rider’s leg length is used to determine the seat’s position. When pedaling, your hips should remain level and your legs should not over-extend. To determine the right seat height, sit on the eBike with the pedal at its lowest point and place the ball of your foot on the pedal. If your knee is 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.

Adjusting the Suspension Fork

1. NOTICE: Ensure the seatpost and seat are properly adjusted before riding. DO NOT raise the seatpost beyond the minimum insertion marking etched into the seatpost tube (as shown at right). If the seatpost projects from the frame beyond these markings (shown far right), the seatpost or frame may break, which could cause a rider to lose control and fall. Ensure the minimum insertion markings on the seatpost are inside the seat tube of the frame.
2. Before using the bike, always check to ensure all latches, levers, and quick releases are properly secured and undamaged. Check that they are correctly secured before every ride and after every time the bike is left unsupervised, even for a short time. Otherwise, the handlebar stem and/or seatpost may come loose and can result in loss of control, damage to the bike, property, serious injury, and/or death.

Adjusting the Suspension Fork
The suspension fork can move up and down up to 80mm to cushion bumps in the riding surface, which can make riding on a rough road or trail smoother and more comfortable.Depending on a rider’s preference, the suspension fork can be locked out as a rigid fork, which will typically yield higher efficiency while pedaling. The lockout lever (1) , located on top of the right side of the suspension fork, can be turned counterclockwise until it stops to completely lock out the suspension fork’s travel.
To unlock the lockout lever, turn the knob clockwise until it stops. When the lockout lever is unlocked, resistance can be adjusted by turning.  The preload adjustment knob (2), located on the top of the left side of the suspensionfork.
To soften the ride, subtract resistance by turning the preload adjustment knob counterclockwise, in the direction of the small “-” on the knob. To make the suspension stiffer when going over bumps, add resistance by turning the preload adjustment knob clockwise, in the direction of the small “+” on the knob.

Charge Your E-Bike

• Uncover the rubber cover of the charging port on the left side of the battery.
• Connect the battery and battery charger.
• Insert the charger plug to power, the charging begins when the red light is on.
• Note:
  1. When charging the battery, please place the charger in a flat, dry and secure place.

Start-up Procedure

After the bike has been properly assembled according to the assembly video, all components are secured correctly, a certified, reputable mechanic has checked the assembly, and you have read this entire manual, turn on the bike and select a pedal assist level following the steps below:

• Familiarize yourself with the battery power positions. Turn on the battery first, then be ready for a ride.

• Ensure proper handlebar and seat adjustment. Note that lowering the seat so the rider can put one or both feet flat on the ground without dismounting from the seat may offer a safer and more comfortable introduction to operating the bike. Ensure the handlebar faceplate bolts and seat post quick-release are fully and properly secured.

• Turn on the bike. With the battery locked in place. Locate the LCD display controls (near the left handlebar grip). Hold down the power button for approximately 3 seconds until power is delivered to the LCD display and turned on.

• Turn on the headlight and taillight if needed. Once the battery is on, press button (located on the light remote).

• Select the desired level of pedal assistance (PAS) between levels 0 through 5 using the + and – on the display remote. Level 1 corresponds to the lowest level of pedal assistance. Level 5
  corresponds to the highest level of pedal assistance. Level 0 indicates pedal assistance is inactive.
  Start in PAS level 0 or 1 and adjust from there.

• Begin riding carefully. With the proper safety gear and rider knowledge, you may now operate your bike. On a flat surface, in a low gear (1 or 2), most riders should be able to begin pedaling the bike with pedal assist level 0 or 1. You may also use the throttle to accelerate and maintain your desired speed.

• The throttle is used by slowly and carefully rotating the throttle backward toward the rider. Do not use the throttle unless you are on the bike.
  **** Do not use the throttle while dismounted. Avoid accidental application of the throttle while dismounted; anytime you are moving the bike while dismounted, ensure the bike is powered off to prevent the accidental application of the throttle.

Daily Care and Maintenance

Cleaning and Storage
If you see stains on the bike body, wipe them off with a damp cloth. If the stains won’t scrub off, put on some toothpaste, and brush them with a tooth brush, then wipe them off with a damp cloth.
Notes: do not clean the bike with alcohol, gasoline, kerosene or other corrosive and volatile chemical solvents to prevent dire damage. Do not wash the bike with a high-pressure water spray. During cleaning, make sure that the bike turned off, the charging cable is unplugged, and the rubber flap is closed as water leakage may result in electric shock or other major problems. When the bike not in use, keep it indoors where it is dry and cool. Do not put it outdoors for along time. Excessive sunlight, overheating and over cooling accelerate the battery pack’s life span.
Battery Maintenance

1. Use original battery packs, use of other models or brands may bring about safety issues;
2.  Do not touch the contacts. Do not dismantle or puncture the casing. Keep the contacts away from metal objects to prevent short circuit which may result in battery damage or even injuries and deaths;
3.  Use original power adapter to avoid potential damage or fire;
4.  Mishandling of used batteries may do tremendous harm to the environment. To protect natural environment, please follow local regulations to properly dispose used batteries.
5.  After every use, fully charge the battery to prolong its life span.

Storage and Disposal

1.  Please try to store the bike in a cool and dry place between 50 °F – 77 °F (10 °C – 25 °C). In extremely humid environments the interior of the bike may suffer condensation or even water accumulation, which may damage the battery rapidly. Devices are not intended for use at elevations greater than 2000m above sea level prolonged exposure to UV rays, rain and the elements may damage the enclosure materials, store indoors when no tin use.
2.  In daily use, try to avoid recharging the bike after completely exhausting the battery. If the battery is low, charge it as soon as possible.

** Your cables, spokes, and chain will stretch after an initial break-in period of 50-100 mi (80-160 km), and bolted connections can loosen. Always have a certified, reputable bike mechanic perform a tune-up on your bike after your initial break-in period of 50-100 mi (80-160 km) (depending on riding conditions such as total weight, riding characteristics, and terrain). Regular inspections and tune-ups are particularly important for ensuring that your bike remains safe and fun to ride.
Tire Inflation and Replacement
The Ranger S employs 20″x4.0″ rubber tires with inner tube. The tires are designed for durability and safety for regular cycling activities and need to be checked before each use for proper inflation and condition. Proper inflation, care, and timely replacement will help ensure that your bike’s operational characteristics will be maintained, and unsafe conditions avoided.
** It is recommended 20 PSI for Heybike’s stock tires. Always stay within the manufacturer’s recommended air pressure range as listed on the tire sidewall.
It is critically important that proper air pressure is always maintained in pneumatic tires. Do not underinflate or overinflate your tires. Low pressure may result in loss of control, and overinflated tires may burst. Failure to always maintain the air
pressure rating indicated on pneumatic tires may result in tire and/or wheel failure.
Inflate your tires from a regulated air source with an available pressure gauge.Inflating your tires from an  unregulated air source could overinflate them, resulting in a burst tire.
Even tires equipped with built-in, flat-preventative tire liners, like those that come with bikes from heybike, can and do get flats from punctures, pinches, impact, and other causes.
When tire wear becomes evident or a flat tire is discovered, tires and/or tubes must be replaced before operating the bike or injury to operators and/or damage to your bike from heybike could occur. When changing a tire or tube, ensure that all air pressure has been removed from the inner tube prior to removing the tire from the rim. Failure to remove all air pressure from the inner tube could result in serious injury.
**** Using aftermarket tires or inner tubes, not provided by heybike may void your warranty, create an unsafe riding condition, or damage to your bike. If required by law, ensure replacement aftermarket tires have sufficient reflective sidewall striping.
For more information on tire or tube replacement procedures, or questions about tire inflation, visit heybike.com/pages/help- center or contact Heybike Support.
