INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Getting Started

First, unpack your electric bike carefully and save all packing material. Be sure to locate your charger, pedals, and any small parts like nuts or screws inside the shipping carton. Sometimes small parts like nuts or screws may come loose during shipping so be sure and check the bottom of the carton and protective wrapping carefully. Keep your packing material until you are through assembling your bike and know that it is running properly. Sometimes small parts like nuts or screws may come loose during shipping so be sure and check the bottom of the carton and protective wrapping.

Assembly Instructions

• This bicycle was fully assembled, inspected, and tuned at the factory and then partially disassembled for shipping.
• Your bike arrives in the shipping carton about 75% assembled. To ship the bike, the pedals, seat, front wheel, and sometimes the handlebar are loosened or removed.

• To ensure your safety, please follow the proper tolerances listed below when tightening any of the fasteners.
• This manual will list all the steps required for the various models.
• The following “basic” assembly instructions will assist in getting the bike ready to ride. If you have questions about your ability to assemble this product, please consult a qualified bicycle technician.
• We recommend that two people work together to assemble the electric bicycle.

Attaching and adjusting the handlebar
Your handlebars have two main parts: the bar itself and the adjustable stem. If your bar has been removed for shipping, position the bar in the center of the stem and check, to be sure, that your grips are in the right place and the angle of the bar is comfortable. Tighten the screw clamp to hold the bar in place, ensuring all brake cables are clear.

The stem must be inserted to the minimum depth or lower as indicated on the steering post to ensure safety (see the picture). Tighten the stem screw located on the top of the handlebar stem You may adjust the handlebar stem height by loosening the Allen key screw located underneath the stem. Tighten the stem, adjusting sthecrew securely after positioning the stem.

• Check that the forks and the handlebars are facing forward and straight. Stand at the front of the handlebar, put the front wheel in between your legs, and hold the handlebar. Adjust the handlebar and the body of the bicycle to form an angle of 90° (see the picture).
• Some models have a light console that attaches to the handlebar. Attach this with the plastic brackets and screws provided.

Checking and adjusting the disc brake

The rear brake is operated with the right brake handle and the front brake is operated with the left brake handle normally.

Always check that both your front and rear brakes are properly adjusted before riding your bike. Squeeze your brake together and slip the cable into the through. You may need to adjust the cable length by loosening the nut and sliding the cable through to the proper position. Retighten the nut to hold the proper position.

Adjust the brake pads on either side by using an Allen wrench so that they make contact with the metal wheel rim and not the tire. Be sure they are straight, and the distance is 1- 1.5 mm between the rim and the two brake pads. The pads will be closed when adjusted properly. There are some small adjusting screws on the sides of the brake pad levers that can be used to adjust the distance of each side. If the distance of the two brake pads to the rim is different, adjust the spring adjustment screw on the brake arm of the fixed mount till the distance between the two sides is the same, making sure that it can break efficiently. If the brake pad is damaged severely, please replace it immediately to ensure the brake works efficiently.

Adjusting the saddle

• Your saddle height is adjusted by a quick release. Pull the quick-release lever, and insert your saddle post to at least the minimum insertion line marked on the post. Tighten the adjusting nut with a quick-release lever, then push the quick-release lever to the closed position.
• The saddle angle is adjusted with the nuts that attach the seat to the saddle rail. Ensure that the nuts are tightened firmly and that the seat does not move forward or back while you are sitting on it.

Attaching the pedals
Pedals are marked “L” and “R” on the axle end. Screw the pedal marked “L” into the left side of the crank and “R” to the right.

1. The right pedal attaches to the chain side crank arm with (clockwise) thread.
2. The left pedal attaches to the other arm and has a left-hand (counterclockwise) thread.

Check your pedals before each ride to ensure that they are tight. If you ride your bike with loose pedals, you may strip the threads that hold the pedal to the crank.

Attaching the front wheel
Slip the wheel into the forks. Slip on the safety catches and then the nuts on both sides. Spin the wheel and check whether it’s straight. If your bicycle is fitted with quick-release axles, make sure the locking levers are correctly tensioned and in the closed position.

Operating your E-Bike
Your E-Bike is driven by a motor embedded in the hub of the rear wheel. The motor is powered by a battery. The power can also be driven directly by throttle or pedaling. When pedaling, the amount of power delivered to the motor, and hence the accelerating force on the E-Bike, is controlled by you in a way according to the power-assisted mode you choose.

Electric assisted mode
You must turn on the battery to use the E-Bike in electric-assisted mode. In the electric-assisted mode, power assist is triggered when you pedal forward, and power assist stops when you stop peddling. In other words, power assist happens as long as you pedal. You don’t need to pedal hard. All you need is to apply a light force to the pedals continuously to maintain the current flow. When you apply one of the brakes, the power-assist function will automatically stop, allowing the E-Bike to slow down and stop. The power assist mode will turn itself off when the E-Bike has reached the maximum speed of 32 km/h.

Throttle Mode:

• If you don’t want to use pedal power, you can also use the throttle to control the speed.
• The maximum speed of this E-Bike is 32 km/h.

Charging Your Battery

• Fully charge your battery before your first ride and then after any operation, especially after long-distance riding.
• Your charger plugs directly into your battery pack with either a flat connector or the same two- prong plug as your bike’s power cord. You must plug your charger into the bike first and then into the wall outlet.

You can also remove the battery from the E-Bike and directly plug the charger into the battery. Remove and install the battery properly as shown in the steps below.

Press the button with your right hand, turn the key with your left hand, and take out the battery as shown in the picture.

Press the battery as shown in the picture, to install it.

NEVER PLUG A POWER CORD FROM A WALL OUTLET DIRECTLY INTO THE BATTERY!

YOU MUST USE YOUR CHARGER!

• The light on the charger will be red while charging and turn green when charging is finished.
• When the charger’s light turns green, keep on charging the battery for one to two hours to ensure that the battery has a longer usage life, then unplug your charger from the battery and the wall.
• Always charge your battery before it gets too low. If you let your pack run completely dead, it may not recharge. It’s a good idea to turn the key to the position OFF and remove your key after any ride so that it will not be left on accidentally.
• To unlock the pack, push the key in slightly and turn to the left. It can then be removed. Push in and turn right to lock it on.
• The red button on top of the pack shows the power level when pushed. The first light only comes on when the battery is too low to run the bike. The next lights indicate low, medium, and full. The lights on the handlebar also show the level.

Remember:

• The sooner you charge after riding, the longer your pack will last.
• The lithium battery is built with circuitry that prohibits overcharging and excessive discharging.
• The battery charger is designed specifically for the bike; connecting the battery to any other charger will void the warranty.
• The customer needs to follow the instructions on the battery charger label.

Display functions
There are five pedal assist levels (1 to 5).

Long press the “ ” button” on the display to switch on the LCD, and press the “+ ” and ” “-” buttons to change assist levels. Short press the “M” button to change info on the screen.
