Assembling Your E-Bike

1. Read all of the instructions carefully. Be familiar with the proper operation of all items.
2. This quick guide is intended to list the steps needed to assemble your bike with some mechanical skills. It is not a complete manual or training. If you do not feel comfortable or lack some of the skills to assemble it yourself, reach out to a cyclist friend, a local bike mechanic or one of our support technicians for guidance.
3. Our QA mechanics have assembled and tested your bike beforehand.
4. To assemble your bike, work on a clean area with enough space to maneuver.
5. If installed, remove the battery from the bike to start the assembly.
6. Inspect the bike completely to be sure no damage occurred during shipping.
7. The kickstand is designed to support the bicycle only. Not the rider mounted.
8. ou can adjust your saddle position and the tilt on your handlebar items for comfort.
9. Check all screws and parts are tight and properly fixed. We recommend a pre-trip inspection before your first rides.

Installing Your Handlebar

2. Face the mounting brackets on the front end of the mount with the round edges facing outward.
   Adjust the handlebar angle to your comfortable riding posture.

3. Secure the mounting brackets with four screws. (4mm allen wrench with 6N torque)

4. Verify your front tire lines up with your headset.

5. Check whether all headset items are tight.

Installing Your Front Wheel

1. Insert the front wheel in between the front fork on the bike. Be sure the fork is resting on the outside of the axle.
2. Align the disk between the brake caliper as shown in Figure 2.
3. Insert the skewer into the wheel axle as seen shown. Keep the spring, cam follower, and lever on the LEFT side, nearest the disk brake. Keep the adjustment nut and spring on the RIGHT side. (See Figure 2)
4. Screw the skewer into the end nut until almost tight.
5. Lift the lever up until parallel with the front fork. You should feel the axle tighten into the front forks. Your front wheel is now installed.

Installing Your Headlight

1. Place the headlight with its bracket in front of the fork gantry. Push the screw provided on the headlight through the installing hole on the fork gantry. Tighten the fixing nut onto the screw. (You might need to secure the fixing nut tightly so the screw oesn’t turn).
2. Connect the headlight cable with the wire coming out from the downtube.

Installing Your Pedals

2. Identify the Left and Right markings on the pedals. They can only be installed in their respective side.
   a. L is for the Left Pedal and it goes on the Left Crank Arm.
   b. R is for the Right pedal and it goes on the Right Crank Arm (Chain Side).

3. Sitting on your bike the pedals go on the Left and Right side respectively.

4. Keep the pedal Horizontal while hand screwing to get the thread started. Then Use your 15mm wrench to tighten them.

5. Both pedals tighten towards the front of the bike. The left pedal is reverse threaded to allow this.

6. The pedals need to be very tight (at least 25-35N.m torque), be sure to retighten after your first couple rides.

3. Charge the battery, making sure not to charge longer than 12 hours at a time. When the battery is fully charged, the LED will turn GREEN and charging will be stopped.
   Note: The charger is designed to automatically stop charging when the battery is full, but unnecessary wear of the charging components could occur if the charger is left attached to the battery and a power source for longer than 12 hours. Detach the charger as soon as possible once the green light indicates a complete charge, to avoid unnecessary wear of charging components.

4. Once the battery is charged, unplug the charger from the power outlet.

5. Unplug the charger from the battery. Store the charger in a safe place for future use.

Note: The battery capacity indicator located at the right top of the battery indicates the battery  capacity status. GREEN light indicates the voltage is higher than 48V, rest battery charge higherthan 60%; YELLOW light indicates the voltage is in between of 48V and 41.5V, rest battery charge from 20% to 60%; RED light indicates the voltage is less than 41.5V, rest battery charge less than 20%. It’s recommended to charge the battery in time when it’s under yellow light status.

Notes of Charging and Storage:

1. Charging time of a 48V 15Ah battery takes about 8 to 10 hours when charging with a standard 2A charger.
2. Pay attention to check whether the surface temperature of the battery case rises too high during charging. It is FORBIDDEN to cover the battery during charging.
3. Due to high temperature in summer time, it is NOT advisable to charge it immediately after riding. In winter, it is FORBIDDEN to charge the battery in environment below 0℃. It is recommended to charge the battery in room temperature.
4. If the battery will not be used for a long period, take it off from the bike and discharge its capacity to 60%-80% for stock. Disconnect it from the charger and place it in a dry, ventilated place without direct sunlight. In order to maintain a long lifecycle, it is recommended to charge the battery every two months.
