Please Note: pictures may vary from the actual product but assembly will still be the same.
ASSEMBLING THE HANDLEBAR

• First, make sure the handlebar stem is facing forward, towards the front fork.
• Unscrew the 4 bolts in the handlebar stem using an allen key.
• Place the handlebar into the handlebar stem and screw the 4 bolts in using an allen key. Torque to 6Nm.

FRONT DISC BRAKE CALIPER
Please check that the bolts are tightened correctly on the brake calliper shown below. Be careful not to overtighten the bolts (torque to 8Nm). ATTACHING THE FRONT WHEEL

• Loosen the pin through the middle of the wheel to allow you to place the fork onto it. Make sure the disc is properly inserted into the brake caliper.
• Tighten the nut and hold the lever in an upright position as shown in the photo below. Once tight push the lever in to secure the wheel.

TO CHECK

• Make sure the quick release clamping lever is secure.
• Make sure the brake is hooked onto the disc and working properly.
• Check your tyre pressure – if they need pumping up, attach a bike pump to the valve (shown in the photo below) and inflate to the recommended tyre pressure (this will be located on the tyre).

ASSEMBLING PEDALS

• There are 2 pedals. Please look inside of each pedal to identify which is labeled R (right) and L (left).
• To connect the pedals to the bike, place L pedal into the left crank arm and R pedal into the right crank arm (left and right directions are as though you are sitting on the bike).
• Tighten by turning the pedals toward the front wheel. Use a spanner to make sure the pedals are tight and secure.
• The right pedal is attached on the same side as the chain. Make sure you check the pedals are tight and secure before riding.

ATTACHING THE SEAT

• Slide the saddle post into the seat tube.
• Align the seat with the frame to make sure it is straight.
• The height of the seat should not be pulled higher than the safety line marks on the seat post.
• Tighten the seat clamping lever.

SAFE RIDING

Before each ride, check whether all the bolts are tight, the battery has suffient charge, the charging port is covered, the tyre pressure is sufficient, all wires are plugged in and the brake system works correctly.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

BATTERY RANGE
The range of the battery is up to 60 miles per charge. However, a lot of factors affect how far you can go per charge:

• Driving surface: A smooth, flat surface will increase driving distance.
• Weight: More weight means less distance.
• Maintenance: Regular battery charging and maintenance will prolong the life of your battery.
• Speed and riding style: Maintaining a moderate speed will increase distance. Frequent starting and stopping, acceleration and deceleration willreduce it.
• Battery size, tyre pressure, temperature*, battery age and weather conditions.
• Avoiding fully discharging will maintain the life of your battery.
  *Temperature – your battery will have less range in very cold conditions.

SPEED LIMIT
The top speed of the bike is set to 25km/h (15.5mph) (obey local laws).
WEIGHT LIMIT
The maximum load is 120kg (19 stone). Going above the maximum weight limit can cause injury or damage the bicycle and will void your warranty.
CLEANING THE BIKE
To clean the bike carefully wipe with a damp cloth, then dry with a dry cloth. Do not use excessive water to clean the bike as this could damage the components, resulting in personal injury or malfunction of the bicycle. Lubricate the chain after every wash if you can to keep it smooth and rust free.Suitable products are available via westhillbikes.com.

• Prior to each ride, inspect each part of the bike to ensure it has been maintained correctly and is functioning properly.
• Always give way to pedestrians.
• Be aware of your surroundings.
• Always comply with local traffic laws and regulations. Remember, this bike is a motor vehicle, and is treated as such by local law enforcement. You can and will be arrested for drink driving. Many cities have restrictions on where you can drive motor vehicles, as well as additional restrictions on driving non.automcbiles on streets and highways.

MODIFICATIONS
Do not attempt to disassemble, modify, repair or replace any electrical parts without contacting the Customer Service (+44 (0)1823 672 970). This will void any warranty and can lead to malfunctions which may cause injury.
