1. Straighten the handlebar stem and front fork. Ensure the handlebar stem and front fork are in the same direction, and the four stem faceplate bolts are facing forward.
2. Loosen the four stem faceplate bolts with the 4mm Allen wrench. Remove and put them aside. Notice the washer on the bolt, and don’t lose it.
3. Place the handlebar on the stem correctly. Put the wire harness in order, and ensure that the cables and wires are not twisted.
4. Center the handlebar and adjust to the angle for your comfortable ride, then tighten the four stem faceplate bolts evenly.
5. Adjust the stem angle using the 5mm Allen bolts on the side of the stem if desired. Adjust the handlebar so the grips are approximately parallel to the ground.
6. Locate the side of the green LCD connector, place the display on the handlebar and tighten the 2 screws. place the button panel on the handlebar and tighten the screw. carefully press the wiring harness, and LCD display interface directly together without twisting.
7. Secure to the recommended torque value. A torque wrench is needed to evenly tighten the four stem faceplate bolts to the recommended torque value, 6 Nm. (Refer to the table of Recommended Torque Value)

Step 3
Install the front fender and headlight

1. Place the fender.
   From the front tyre’s front, align the front fender mounting port with the front fork arch.

2. Place the headlight.
   Locate the two sides of the red, two-pin headlight connector, carefully align the internal pins and notches and external arrows, then press directly together without twisting to fully seat the connection. Align the headlight port with front fender mounting port and front fork arch, as the first picture shows.

3. Attach the headlight and fender to the fork arch.
   Turn the bolt and nut apart, and leave the washer on the bolt. Pass the bolt through the headlight port, fender mounting port and front fork arch in turn. Then turn the nut onto the bolt end. Use a 5 mm Allen wrench at the bolt head and a 10 mm wrench on the nut at the bolt end.

4. Adjust the headlight angle to illuminate the road ahead and not blind oncoming traffic.
   Use a 3 mm Allen wrench and an 8 mm wrench to loosen the headlight angle adjustment bolt, tilt the headlight to the optimal position, and then tighten it in place securely.

Step 4
Install the front wheel

1. Remove the front fork plate with a 10mm wrench.

2. Put the e-bike on safe, flat ground. You can use the hard foam from the carton box to put on the bottom of the fork to avoid damage caused by the friction between the front fork and the ground.

3. Prepare the wheels. There are two wheels hub protections on the two sides of the wheel. please rotate and remove them.

4. Install the front wheel. Lift the front of the e-bike and put the wheel in the middle of the front fork. pay attention that the brake rotor on the wheel and disc brake on the front fork are on the same side. Install the front wheel axle into the front fork fluted legs and ensure the brake rotor is smoothly placed in the disc brake.

5. Locate the quick-release lever, which is put into the accessory box during shipment. Open the lever and remove the thumb nut and one cone spring(opposite to the lever). Keep the washer and other cone springs in place on the lever side.

6. Install the lever into the front wheel axle. Insert from either side is ok. Next, reinstall the cone spring pointing towards the wheel hub, then thread the thumb nut onto the lever and turn tightly with the lever open. Then close the lever by hand without touching the brake rotor.

7. Attach the fender bracket to the front fork.
   Use a 5mm Allen wrench to loosen the bolts of the front fender bracket hose clamp and fix the hose clamp to the proper position of the front fork, make the clearance between the fender and tyre evenly, and be careful not to install the wire harness into the hose clamp, Ensure the fender is centred and torque all mounting bolts to the recommended torque value, 6 Nm. (Refer to the table of Recommended Torque Value)

8. When properly installed, the front wheel should be at the centre of the front fork, the brake rotor should be between the brake pads in the brake calliper, and the quick-release lever should be fully secured. Ensure that the front wheel and quick-release lever are properly secured before moving on to the next step.

NOTICE

• Never touch the brake rotor, especially when the wheel and/or bike is in motion, or serious injury could occur.
• Hand oils can cause squeaking and decrease brake performance; do not touch the brake rotor while inspecting, opening, or closing the quick-release lever.

Step 5

• Install the pedals
  Locate the pedal axle exterior into the crank. The right pedal goes onto the crank on the right side of the bike (which is located on the rider’s right side when riding).

• The right pedal is threaded to tighten by turning clockwise.
  Carefully thread the right pedal onto the crank on the right side of the bike a 15mm wrench. Do not cross thread or damage the threads.

• The left pedal is reverse-threaded and tightens counterclockwise.
  Ensure that the remaining pedal has notches on the exterior of the axle and an “L” stamp at the left end of the axle, indicating it is the left pedal. Carefully thread the pedal onto the left crank slowly by 15mm wrench. Do not cross thread or damage the threads.

Step 6
Install the rear rack

1. Loosen two bolts on the two sides of the rear rack (position 1), but do not remove them at all
2. Take out the srews on the accessory box, align the frame mounting holes with mounting holes in front of the rear rack, and tighten two bolts (position 2) on the two sides of the rear rack with a 4mm Allen wrench.
3. Tighten the bolts (position 1) on both sides.
4. Locate the tail light connector, and carefully press it directly together without twisting.
5. Check that the four rear rack bolts are fully secured.

Step 7
Set the seat height

1. Open the quick-release lever by holding it open fully. Ensure that the seat post clamp opening is aligned with the notch at the front of the seat tube.
2. Adjust the seat post up or down to a comfortable height, while ensuring that the seat post is inserted into the frame past the minimum insertion point.
3. If needed, use the thumb nut to add tension to the clamp so there is enough resistance when the lever is in line with the clamp bolt, but do not over-tighten.
4. Close the quick-release lever to secure the seat post and make sure that it does not move.

NOTICE
For most riders, the seat height should be set by placing the ball of their foot on the pedal when the pedal is at its lowest point. Their legs should be almost fully extended in this orientation, with a slight bend at the knee. The correct seat height should not allow leg strain from overextension, and the hips should not rock from side to side when pedalling.

Step 8
Adjusting for comfortable riding

Adjust the seat height

1. Open the quick-release lever by swinging the lever open and outwards fully.
2. Move the seat up and down by sliding the seat post in or out of the seat tube.
3. Set the desired seat height.
4. After tightening the adjustment nut (opposite the quick release lever) on the seat post quick release properly, close the quick release lever fully so it looks like the image below and the seat cannot move up, down, to the left, or right.

Ensure that the seat post and seat are both properly adjusted before riding. DO NOT raise the seat post beyond the minimum insertion marking etched onto the seat post tube (as shown below). If the seat post projects from the frame beyond these markings, the seat post and the frame may break, which could cause a rider to lose control and fall.

Ensure that the minimum insertion markings on the seat post are inside the seat tube of the frame.

Adjust the Seat Position and Angle
To change the angle and horizontal position of the seat:

1. Use a 6 mm Allen wrench to loosen the seat adjustment bolt under the seat, be careful not to remove the whole bolt.
2. Once the bolt and clamp are adequately loose, rotate the front of the seat up or down to adjust the angle of the seat; a seat position horizontal to flat ground is desirable for most riders. Move the seat backwards or forwards within the white limit markings on the seat rail, which show the minimum and maximum horizontal movement allowed for this component.
3. While holding the seat in the desired position, use a 6 mm Allen wrench to tighten the seat adjustment bolt securely.

NOTICE
Prior to first use, be sure to tighten the seat clamp via the seat adjustment bolt properly. A loose seat clamp or seatpost adjustment bolt can cause bike/property damage, loss of control, a fall, serious injury or death. Periodically check to make sure that the seat clamp is properly tightened.

Adjusting the Suspension Fork
The suspension fork can move up and down up to 80 mm to cushion bumps in the riding surface, which can make riding on a rough road or trail smoother and more comfortable. In addition, depending on a rider’s preference, the suspension fork can be locked out as a rigid fork, which will typically yield higher pedalling efficiency. The lockout lever 1 located on top of the right side of the suspension fork, can be turned counterclockwise until it stops to lock out the suspension fork’s motion completely. 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 lockout lever 1 located on top of the right side of the suspension fork, can be turned counterclockwise until it stops to lock out the suspension fork’s motion completely. 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 pre-load adjustment knob 2 is located on the top of the left side of the suspension fork. To soften the ride, reduce resistance by turning the pre-load 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 pre-load adjustment knob clockwise, in the direction of the small “+” on the knob.

Step 9
Check before riding

• Check the battery to ensure it’s locked
  Operate the electrical system when the battery has been adequately charged and the battery is secured to the mounting receptacle on the frame.

• Check hardware to ensure all is tightened properly following recommended torque values and components are secured before moving on to the next step.

NOTICE

• Do not extend any components including the handlebar stem, seat post, or seat saddle beyond any minimum insertion marking etched into the components.
• Check carefully and make sure the bike is assembled securely. Otherwise, bike damage, serious injury, or even death could occur.

Cautions and Warnings

General Operating Rules

• When riding, obey the laws applicable in your area as any other vehicle.
• For additional information regarding traffic/vehicle laws, contact the road traffic authority in your area.
• Try to predict the unexpected such as opening car doors or cars backing out of driveways.
• Be careful at intersections when preparing to pass other vehicles or other cyclists.
• Familiarize yourself with all the features and operations of the bike by HJMBIKE. Practice and become proficient at shifting gears, applying brakes, using a power assist system, and using twist power assist in a controlled setting before riding in riskier conditions.
• Check your local rules and regulations before carrying cargo.
• When braking, apply the rear brake first, then the front brake.
• Maintain a comfortable stopping distance from all other objects, riders, and vehicles. Safe braking distances vary based on factors such as road surface and lighting conditions.

Safety Warnings

• All users must read and understand this manual before riding their bike. Additional manuals for individual components should also be reviewed before installing or using those components.
• Ensure that you comprehend all instructions and safety notes/warnings.
• Ensure that the bike fits you properly before first use. You may lose control or fall if your bike is too big or too small.
• Always wear an approved bicycle helmet when riding a bike. Failure to wear a helmet when riding may result in serious injury or death.
• Ensure that the handlebar grips are undamaged and properly installed. Loose or damaged grips can cause you to lose control and fall.
• Off-road riding requires close attention and specific skills because there are potential conditions that could cause hazards. Wear appropriate safety gear and do not ride alone in remote areas. Check local rules and regulations about whether off-road E-bike riding is allowed.
• Do not engage in extreme riding. This includes but is not limited to jumps, stunts, or any behaviours that exceed your capabilities. Although many articles/advertisements/catalogues depict extreme riding as admirable, it is not recommended nor permitted, and you can be seriously injured or killed if you perform extreme riding. Bikes and their components have strength limitations, and extreme riding, including but not limited to jumps, stunts, etc., should not be performed as it can damage your bike’s components and/or cause or lead to dangerous riding situations in which you may be seriously injured or killed.
• Failure to perform and confirm proper installation, compatibility, proper operation, or maintenance of any component or accessory can result in serious injury or death.
• After any incident, you must consider your bike unsafe to ride until you consult with a certified bike mechanic for a comprehensive inspection of all components, functions, and operations of the bike.
• Always use the lowest assist level until you are comfortable with the bike and feel confident in controlling the power.
• Any aftermarket changes to your bike that are not approved could void the warranty and create an unsafe riding experience.
• Take extra care while riding in wet conditions. You should slow down and increase braking distances. Feet or hands slip more easily in wet conditions and could lead to serious injury or death.

NOTICE
The throttle is very sensitive, when you turn on the ebike system, and you are not riding, please be careful not to touch the throttle, which may cause you to fall forward and cause injury or death.

Parking, Storage, and Transport
Please follow these basic parking, storage, and transportation tips to ensure that your bike is well taken care of both on and off the road.

• When pushing or carrying the bike manually, turn off the power to avoid accidental acceleration from the motor.
• Turn the power and any lights off to conserve battery.
• Ensure that the battery is locked to the frame when the power is off, or use the key to remove the battery and bring it with you for safety reasons.
• Park indoors when possible. If you must park outdoors in rainy or wet conditions, you should leave your E-bike outside for only a few hours and then park it in a dry location as soon as possible to allow the entire system to dry out. Compared to a regular bike, an E-bike used in wet conditions needs more frequent maintenance to prevent rust and corrosion to make sure that all systems are working safely.
• Locking up your bike is recommended so that your bike is secure and the chance of theft is reduced. We do recommend you take appropriate precautions to keep your bike safe from theft.
• Do not park, store, or transport your bike on a rack not designed for the bike’s size and weight.
• Use a rack compatible with the width of the tyres of your bike. Some racks may not accommodate all tyre widths.
• Avoid transporting E-bikes on a vehicle rack during rain, as this may cause water damage to the electrical components.

Wet Weather
Toury is a waterproof ebike, but never immerse or submerge this product in water or any other liquid as the electrical system may be damaged.

• In wet weather, you need to take extra care when operating this bike.
• Decrease riding speed to help you control the bike in slippery conditions.
• Brake earlier since it will take brakes longer to slow down than when operated in dry conditions.
• Be more visible to others on the road. Wear reflective clothing and use approved safety lights.
• Road hazards are more difficult to see when wet; proceed with caution.

Night Riding
It is not recommended to ride at night. Ride at night only when it is necessary.

• Wear reflective and light-coloured clothing.
• Slow down and take familiar routes with street lighting, if possible.
• Ensure that the tyre wall, pedal, and other reflectors are properly installed, positioned, clean, and unobstructed.
• Use a properly functioning lighting set comprised of a white front lamp and a red rear lamp.

Note for Parents and Guardians
As a parent or guardian, you are responsible for the activities and safety of your child. The e-bike is not designed for use by children. If you are carrying a passenger in a child safety seat, they must also be wearing a properly fitted and approved helmet.

Components Notice

Carrying Loads

• Total maximum payload: 140kg(310lb), including the weight of the rider as well as cargo, passengers and riding tools.
• Optional rear rack maximum payload: 25 kg (55 lb)
• Optional front rack maximum payload: 10 kg (22 lb)

You MUST hold onto the bike when loading passengers or cargo. The kickstand is not designed to be used for loading passengers or cargo. Do not assume the bike is stable and balanced when using the kickstand. Always hold onto the bike when passengers or cargo are being loaded. Never leave the bike unattended with a child on the bike. Ensure that the child is taken with you when you look away or walk away from the bike, otherwise, the bike could tip over and cause serious injury or death.

Carrying Cargo
Carrying a cargo load involves additional risks, which require special attention and care. Braking, acceleration, and balancing are all significantly affected by the cargo loaded on the E-bike. To safely operate your E-bike while carrying cargo, you must get used to the differences in braking, steering, balance, etc that come with the extra weight.

• Ensure that your loads are properly secured and check periodically that nothing loosens or is at risk of interfering with any moving components, or touching or dragging on the ground.
• Hills that are normally easy to climb and descend without cargo can become challenging and dangerous once the cargo is loaded onto the bike, as the extra weight affects steering, braking, balancing as well as the amount of power it takes to go uphill.
• With the user’s ability to safely operate the E-bike. Serious injury or death can occur if the user’s ability to safely operate the E-bike is compromised by the cargo or passengers on board.

Electrical System
The electrical system of your E-bike offers various levels of power assistance for different operating conditions and users’ preferences. You must familiarize yourself with all aspects of your E-bike’s electrical system and check if everything is working correctly before each ride. The front and rear brake levers contain motor cutoff switches. They disable the hub motor’s assistance. Both levers should be checked if they are working correctly. When choosing a higher power assist level, the hub motor should provide smooth, gradual acceleration of the engine’s power. Should the power assist, lighting or motor levels function abnormally, intermittently, or not work at all, please stop using your E-bike immediately and contact our support team for assistance.

Brake System
Do not use the front brake by itself. Apply the rear brake first, and then the front brake. Ensure that brakes function normally and that all components of the braking system are properly secured without any damage. When you fully squeeze the brake levers, ensure that neither the front nor the rear brake lever touches the handlebars. Add tension to the brake cables or take your bike to a certified bike mechanic to have the brakes repaired when you face any problems.

Derailleur
Because the derailleur is easy to damage, after assembling the e-bike, first check whether the protection of the derailleur is bent, if you find the protection of the derailleur is bent, you can take it perpendicular to the ground by hand.

Tires and Wheels
Your wheels should always spin straight and must be repaired or replaced if they wobble from side to side or up and down when spinning. If your wheels are loosened, which could happen after use, we recommend having a certified bike mechanic tune the wheels of your E-bike. Do not attempt to tune wheels or tighten spokes unless you have adequate knowledge, tools, and experience. Ensure the tyres and inner tubes are in good working condition with the correct amount of air pressure as indicated on the tyre sidewall and without any visual damage. Always replace tyres and inner tubes if they have punctures, cuts, or damages before your ride. Tyres without the correct amount of air pressure could reduce performance, cause tyres to wear faster, and make riding your bike dangerous.

Suspension, Handlebar, Grips
The suspension fork should be properly adjusted for your weight and terrain. Make sure that the handlebar and the handlebar stem are properly aligned, fitted to the user, and secured to their corresponding, recommended torque values. Handlebar grips should not move easily at the ends of the handlebar. Loose, worn, or damaged handlebar grips should be replaced before rides.

Quick releases, Accessories, Straps, and Hardware

• Quick-release levers are for securing the seat post and the front wheel of the bike. They allow the user to remove the front wheel and adjust the seat post without tools. Since quick-release levers could be loosened during transportation, or accidentally between or during rides, you must regularly check to ensure these components are properly secured.
• Ensure all hardware is secured and all approved accessories are properly attached following the instructions of the specific component’s manufacturer. It is always helpful to look over all hardware, straps, and accessories before each ride and, if you discover something wrong or find something you are unsure of, have it checked by a certified bicycle mechanic.
• Before using the ebike, always check to ensure all levers, quick releases, and latches are properly secured and undamaged.

Changing Components or Attaching Accessories
The use of non-original components or spare parts can jeopardize the safety of your E-bike, void your warranty and, in some cases, cause your E-bike to not conform with laws of operating your ebike.

Helmets

• We recommend riders wear a properly fitted helmet that covers the forehead when riding a bike.
• Child passengers also should wear a properly fitted helmet.

4. Check all moving parts every month, and make sure the bolts and quick releases are tightened.
5. It is recommended to charge the battery after each ride, and if you don’t use the E-bike for a long time, remember to charge the battery every three months and store it in a dry and cool place.
6. Check the dual flashing switch is in perfect working order every month.
7. Check that the wiring and connectors are secure and not damaged every month.
8. Check the suspension effect of the front fork every month, if have any problems, please find help from a bike mechanic or www.hjmbike.com.
9. If the “Tread Wear Indicator” (T.W.I.) mark on the tyre is worn, please replace the tyre at once.
10. Check the brake system by a bike mechanic every year(according to your riding conditions).
11. Disc rotors and pads must be kept clean and free from oil/grease-based contamination.
12. If the disc rotor is cracked or deformed, please replace it at once.
13. Disc pads should be replaced when the total thickness is less than 2.5mm.
14. On a flat road, clean and lubricate the chain every 310 miles (500km); on a rough road, clean and lubricate the chain every 93 miles (150km).
15. Keep the freewheel clean and lubricate it regularly.
16. If the protection of derailleur is damaged, please replace it at once to prevent damage to the derailleur.

NOTICE
Your cables, spokes, and chain will stretch after an initial break-in period of 80-160 km (50-100 mi), and bolted connections could loosen. Always have a certified bike mechanic perform a tune-up on your bike after your initial break-in period of 80-160 km (50-100 mi) (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 comfortable to ride.

Troubleshooting

Error code Detection
Your bike is equipped with an error detection system integrated into the display and controller. In the case of an electronic control system fault, an error code should be displayed. The following error codes are the most common and can aid in troubleshooting. If your bike has an error code displayed at any time, it is recommended that you cease operation and contact HJMBIKEs immediately.
