Assembly
To maintain safety, compliance and warranty requirements it is recommended to
have this bike assembled by a skilled bicycle mechanic.
Disclaimer: A calibrated torque wrenches required when assembling and
torqueing safety critical screws.
If you do not have access to one, then we recommend taking it to a service
provider who can apply torques accurately. Avoiding to do so can cause damage
to your bike and void your warranty.
Unboxing your bike
a. With the box standing up lengthways, use a small knife to safely cut the
tape. Be careful not to cut into the box itself.
b. Gently lift your bike by its frame or wheels.
c. Remove the 2 x small parts boxes containing:
- n+EQ Power Pack charging adaptor & chord.
- 15mm combination wrench.
- 3 way torx key (4, 5, 6mm torx key).
- Additional User Manuals.
- Pedals.
- Reflectors.
- Torx key T30.
d. Gently remove the packaging around your bike by hand.
Power
Check that your bike is not on (the Heads Up Display backlight should be off).
2.1 Handlebars
The integrated handlebar and stem must be installed onto the steerer tube.
Compression of the headset is performed by tightening the stem cap bolt, while
the integrated bar and stem grips the steerer tube using the integrated stem
pinch bolts. It is important
that the headset compression is performed before tightening the stem pinch
bolts.
a. Remove the stem cap bolt and stem cap from the steerer tube.
b. Slide the handlebars onto the steerer tube and loosely reinstall the stem
cap and stem cap bolt. Note: before installing the handlebars onto the steerer
tube, ensure the cables are not wrapped around the fork.
c. Align the handlebars with the front wheel and snug the stem pinch bolts. A
ruler placed against the forks can be useful as a visual alignment aid. Note:
handlebar alignment can be adjusted later but is easiest to do at this stage.
d. Compress the headset by tightening the stem cap bolt to 5-7Nm using the 5mm
hex key.
e. Check that the forks rotate smoothly, and that the headset is fully
compressed by holding the front brake and attempting to rock the bike
backwards and forwards. There should be no play between the forks and the
frame. If there is, torque the stem cap bolt
to the upper end of the recommended torque range, 7Nm.
f. Reinstall the stem cap bolt grommet by pressing it into place.
g. Check that the handlebars are still correctly aligned with the front wheel.
Final adjustments can be made at this stage. Once you are satisfied with the
alignment, tighten the handlebar integrated stem clamp pinch bolts to the
recommended torque, 5-6Nm, following an alternating and staged torque process:
torque the lower bolt to 3Nm, then the upper bolt to 3Nm, then the lower bolt
to 5-6Nm, and finally the upper bolt to 5-6Nm. This ensures even clamp
pressure.
h. Finally, check that the brake levers and grips are secure. If they are
loose, tighten the screws using the appropriate tool in the supplied toolset.
2.2 Installing kick stand
a. Fold the stand into it’s folded position, being careful not to pinch your
fingers.
b. Remove the screws at the top of the stand using the 5mm torq key.
c. Position the stand lining the screw holes behind the bracket (if facing
forward on your bike this will be positioned on the left of the bike in the
rear.) Screws need to be securely tightened to 9-11Nm.
d. Fix the screws back into place.
2.3 Saddle
a. Loosen the cam lock by flipping the lever and unscrewing and slide onto the
seat post.
b. Straighten the saddle so it is in line with the top tube.
c. Then screw to tighten the cam lock so the saddle is secure and will not
move around while riding.
PLEASE NOTE: tightening this too much can cause battery and bike damage.
2.4 Front wheel
The front wheel is installed to the front forks with two (2) 15mm screws.
a. Tighten the screws on both sides using the torx wrench key and twisting the
alternate side at the same time. Tighten to 11.8Nm.
b. Remove the front brake insert from the brake caliper. Be very careful not
to squeeze the brake levers while doing this.
c. Carefully lift the front of the bike (this is best done with your legs
either side of the frame facing forwards), and guide your wheel (brake disc
facing out on the same side as your kick stand) onto your front fork so that
the axle grooves align with the end of the grooves in the forks.
d. Check that your brake disc sits comfortably within the brake caliper pads
and there is room for the wheel to spin freely.
e. Alternate sides as you increase the torque on both axle nuts so that they
are being tightened equally. Check the wheel is still centered before moving
on to the right side.
Now fold down the bike stand, the bike should now rest on the stand.
2.5 Pedals
Pedals are in their own small separate box. Pedals are side dependent so that
the right-hand pedal tightens in a clockwise direction and the left-hand pedal
tightens in an anti-clockwise direction.
a. You will notice your pedals have printed symbols on them. L = left pedal
and R = right pedal.
b. The left pedal goes onto the left side (same side as the kick stand). Grab
the included wrench spinning in an anti clockwise direction to tighten.
c. Now fix the right pedal to the crank, spinning the wrench in a clockwise
direction.
d. Tighten the pedals to 25 Nm torque.
2.6 Adding reflectors
Reflectors should be mounted on the bike in order to comply with bicycle and
rider safety laws.
a. Find the white reflector in your accessories box, loosening the screw, fix
to the handlebars using a Phillips head screwdriver.
b. Install the red reflector to the rear of the bike on the right or left seat
stay, fixing it to higher up so it is positioned near the bottom of the seat
post (refer to same method as step (a).
2.7 Inflating tires
a. Remove the cap from the tire valve, twist the tire valve and inflate using
a pump with Presta valve attachment (recommended 50-75psi, minimum 50psi,
maximum 75psi).
b. Tighten the tire valve, and place the cap back on.
2.8 Check brake calipers
Spin your front wheel to ensure it is rolling smoothly. If there is too much
tension (resulting in a slow/tight turn) you can loosen the two (2) x 5mm
caliper bolts, then squeeze the brake lever into alignment (right brake lever
on your handlebars) before tightening the bolts again.
2.9 Charging your n+ Mercedes Formula E Team Silver Arrows eBike
Your electric bike comes shipped at approximately 20% charge and your bike
must be charged before first use. Your battery sits securely and seamlessly in
your seatpost.
Your battery range is 120 km / 75 miles, however this can vary due to
wind/weather conditions, riding terrain and rider’s style/weight.
Connect the charger to the battery charging dock located on the seatpost just
under the saddle.
2.10 Heads Up Display

Comfort features
3.1 Adjusting your saddle position
Small changes in saddle position can have a substantial effect on performance
and comfort. To find your best saddle position, make only one adjustment at a
time.
Forward and back adjustment: The saddle can be adjusted forward or back to
help you achieve a customised fit for your position on the bike. Ask your
dealer to set the saddle for your optimal riding position and to show you how
to make this adjustment. If you
choose to make your own front and back adjustment, make sure that the clamp
mechanism is clamping on the straight part of the saddle rails and is not
touching the curved part of the rails, and that you are using the recommended
torque on the clamping fastener(s).
Saddle angle adjustment: This can be adjusted to suit your comfort.
Although standard positioning is horizontal; some riders like the saddle nose
angled up or down just a little. Your dealer can adjust saddle angle or teach
you how to do it. If you choose to make your own saddle angle adjustment, make
sure that the clamp mechanism is clamping on the straight part of the saddle
rails and is not touching the curved part of the rails, and that you are using
the recommended torque on the clamping fastener(s).
3.2 Other modifications for comfort
The angle of the brake and shift control levers and their position on the
handlebars can be changed to suit. Ask your dealer to make the adjustments for
you. If you choose to make your own control lever angle adjustment, be sure to
re-tighten the clamp fasteners to the recommended torque as outlined in the
Appendix of this manual.
Riding your bike
Riding your n+ Mercedes Formula E Team Silver Arrows eBike
Your bike can be operated in two (2) modes: Pedal assist or pedal only.
You can also adjust the gradient or assist level by using the gradient
selector located on the handlebar.
4.1 Pedal powered assist mode
Make sure your bike power is turned ON. After 2 revolutions your bike will
start to “assist you”. Your bike is equipped with pedal assist torque sensing
technology that senses the torque / power input and seamlessly matches it with
electric motor assistance.
As you pedal harder, the power-assist performs faster.
You will notice when you reduce your pedaling efforts, the power assistance
behaves accordingly.
To adjust the pedal assist, toggle using the M (mode) button until PAS is
visible on the Heads Up Display.
You can then use the arrows to toggle up to 5 (highest power assist level) or
1 (lowest).
4.2 Pedal mode
To ride as an ordinary bike, simply switch the power button to OFF position.
Do not remove any componentry to ride your bike in ordinary unassisted mode as
this can damage your bike and motor.
4.3 Gradient selector
If you are riding hills/increasing gradients you can adjust the controls on
your handlebar.
To ride your bike
- Ensure your bike is charged.
- Turn your bike’s power on.
- Select gradient (please note when your bike is stationary you will only be able to select 60% of the available range.) Once you start pedalling, you will be able to select a higher or lower range.
- Start pedaling and after 2 revolutions your bike’s power assist mode will commence.
- Select the appropriate power assist (PAS) level by using the M button to toggle to the PAS display, and then using the UP and DOWN keys to toggle to the correct level of assistance.
Troubleshooting
If your motor does not “assist” you after 2 revolutions:
- Check battery is fully charged (lights).
- Check that the cylindrical (1 centimeter) silver sensor on your rear wheel spokes is lined up with the sensing unit attached to your rear chain stay.
- You can test this by turning on your bike, and rolling your bike forward and backwards with your hands placed on the saddle (please do not touch the pedals). A red light should come on indicating that the sensor is activated.
Safety Check First Ride
- Check rear wheel nut tension that they are sufficiently tight using the 15mm tool. You may refer to the back of this manual for appropriate Nm metrics.
- Check that the crank bolts (8mm) are sufficiently tight and if not, tighten.
- Check that the handlebar grip screws are not loose. If they are loose tighten using the 3mm key.
- Check the Belt tension isn’t too tight (once you start to pedal). If so, this is best referred to a qualified service technician to assist in loosening or tightening this to the desired level.
Safety & disclaimer
5.1 Safe riding
First journey: For your first ride select an environment free from hazards or
distractions. Riding an eBike is different to a standard bicycle and requires
that you be familiar with the power on/off switch, torque sensing and assist,
gears and braking.
Rules and regulations: Always abide by the road rules and respect other road
and path users. Your n+ Mercedes Formula E Team Silver Arrows eBike is
manufactured to have a maximum assisted powered speed of 25 km/ph. (32km/h for
select countries).
Check your state and local laws for eBike laws and statutes.
Ride at an appropriate speed in accordance with the terrain, the conditions,
local regulations and your abilities. Please ensure you are wearing adequate
protection including a compliant helmet.
Headphones and technology: Do not ride with headphones or while operating a
mobile phone.
Lights: Always ride with operational and adequate lights and that they
are not obscured or covered.
Minors: This bike is not intended for minors in accordance with local
eBike regulations. If you are a parent or guardian, you are responsible for
the activities and safety of your child/dependent, and that includes making
sure that the bicycle is properly fitted
to the child, that it is in good repair and safe operating condition, that you
and your child have learned and understand the safe operation of the bicycle,
and that you and your child have learned, understand and obey not only the
applicable local motor vehicle,
bicycle and traffic laws, but also the common sense rules of safe and
responsible bicycling. You should read this manual, as well as review its
warnings and the bicycle’s functions and operating procedures with your child,
before letting your child ride the bicycle.
5.2 Different riding conditions
Your bike is designed for pavement and gravel roads.
Wet weather impairs traction, braking and visibility, both for the bicyclist
and for other vehicles sharing the road. The risk of an accident is
dramatically increased in wet conditions.
Under wet conditions, the stopping power of your brakes (as well as the brakes
of other vehicles sharing the road) is dramatically reduced and your tires do
not grip as effectively. This makes it harder to control speed and easier to
lose control. To make sure that
you can slow down and stop safely, ride with caution and apply your brakes
earlier and more gradually than you would under normal, dry conditions.
Although the motor is protected, DO NOT ride your eBike through deep water,
which could damage the motor, battery, or motor controller. Do not expose the
battery to extended periods of wet or hot temperature/weather when not riding.
Make efforts to protect electrical connections from excess water.
Do not wash your eBike with water; only use a dry or damp cloth to clean the
frame and parts.
5.3 Disclaimer

Warnings
- WARNING: Do not modify, tamper or interfere with any electronics as this will void your warranty and result in serious accidents or death.
- WARNING: Do not interfere with any componentry including levers as this can result in malfunction and injury or death.
- WARNING: Failure to wear a helmet whilst riding can result in serious injury or death.
- WARNING: Do not put your hands near the discs or wheels while they are rotating or directly after braking as this can injure or maim.
- WARNING: Reflectors are not a substitute for required lights. Riding at dawn, at dusk, at night or at other times of poor visibility without an adequate bicycle lighting system and without reflectors is dangerous and may result in serious injury or death.
- WARNING: Do not remove the front or rear reflectors or reflector brackets from your bicycle. They are an integral part of the bicycle’s safety system. Removing the reflectors reduces your visibility to others using the roadway. Being struck by other vehicles may result in serious injury or death.
- WARNING: Failure to confirm compatibility, properly install, operate, and maintain any component or accessory can result in serious injury or death.
- WARNING: This bike is not intended for minors in accordance with local eBike regulations. If you are a parent or guardian, you are responsible for the activities and safety of your child/dependent, and that includes making sure that the bicycle is properly fitted to the child, that it is in good repair and safe operating condition, that you and your child have learned and understand the safe operation of the bicycle, and that you and your child have learned, understand and obey not only the applicable local motor vehicle, bicycle and traffic laws, but also the common sense rules of safe and responsible bicycling. You should read this manual, as well as review its warnings and the bicycle’s functions and operating procedures with your child, before letting your child ride the bicycle.
- WARNING: Changing the components on your bike with other than genuine replacement parts may compromise the safety of your bicycle and may void the warranty. Check with your dealer before changing the components on your bike.
- WARNING: If your bicycle does not fit properly, you may lose control and fall.
- WARNING: After any saddle adjustment, be sure that the saddle adjusting mechanism is properly seated and tightened before riding. A loose saddle clamp or seat post clamp can cause damage to the seat post or can cause you to lose control and fall. A correctly tightened saddle adjusting mechanism will allow no saddle movement in any direction. Periodically check to make sure that the saddle adjusting mechanism is properly tightened.
- WARNING: If your saddle causes you pain, numbness, or other discomfort, stop riding until you see your dealer about saddle adjustment or a different saddle.
- WARNING: Be aware that adding aerodynamic extensions to handlebars will change the steering and braking response of the bicycle.
- WARNING: Always tighten fasteners to the correct torque. Bolts that are too tight can stretch and deform. Bolts that are too loose can move and fatigue. Either mistake can lead to failure of the bolt, causing you to lose control and fall.
- WARNING: An insufficiently tightened stem clamp bolt, handlebar clamp bolt or bar end extension clamping bolt may compromise steering action, which could cause you to lose control and fall. Place the front wheel of the bicycle between your legs and attempt to twist the handlebar/stem assembly. If you can twist the stem in relation to the front wheel, turn the handlebars in relation to the stem, or turn the bar end extensions in relation to the handlebar, the bolts are insufficiently tightened.
- WARNING: Do not expose your battery to high temperatures. Do not leave or charge your eBike battery outside, in a car or inside a garage if it is hot out. Heat is by far the largest factor when it comes to reducing lithium-ion battery and exposure to heat can cause injury.
- WARNING: Riding with improperly adjusted brakes or worn brake pads is dangerous and can result in serious injury or death.
- WARNING: Wet weather impairs traction, braking and visibility, both for the bicyclist and for other vehicles sharing the road. The risk of an accident is dramatically increased in wet conditions.
- WARNING: Never inflate a tire beyond the maximum pressure marked on the tire’s sidewall or the wheel rim. If the maximum pressure rating for the wheel rim is lower than the maximum pressure shown on the tire, always use the lower rating. Exceeding the recommended maximum pressure may blow the tire off the rim or damage the wheel rim, which could cause damage to the bike and injury to the rider and bystanders. The best and safest way to inflate a bicycle tire to the correct pressure is with a bicycle pump which has a built-in pressure gauge.
- WARNING: Applying brakes too hard or too suddenly can lock up a wheel, which could cause you to lose control and fall. Sudden or excessive application of the front brake may pitch the rider over the handlebars, which may result in serious injury or death.
- WARNING: Correct tightening force on fasteners – nuts, bolts, screws – on your bicycle is important. Too little force, and the fastener may not hold securely. Too much force, and the fastener can strip threads, stretch, deform, or break.
- WARNING: Riding with an improperly tightened seat post can allow the saddle to turn or move and cause you to lose control and fall.
- CAUTION: Be careful not to damage the disc, caliper or brake pads when re-inserting the disc into the calliper. Never activate a disc brake’s control lever unless the disc is correctly inserted in the caliper.
- WARNING: If you can fully close the cam lever without wrapping your fingers around the seat post or a frame tube for leverage, and the lever does not leave a clear imprint in the palm of your hand, the tension is insufficient. Open the lever; turn the tension adjusting nut clockwise a quarter turn; then try again.
