THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING BLUEREV!
SAFETYCHECKBEFOREFIRSTUSE
Please check the following components: handlebar, stem, pedals, crank, wheels. Ensure they are properly installed and tightened. While some of the components are pre-assembled, it is still important to make sure every component is tightened at the indicated torque value. Failing to notice a loose component may cause it to detach during use and lead to serious injury.
- Wheels: A critical part of assembling your bike is securing the front and rear wheels and checking the tightness of the wheel axle nuts. Properly installed wheels are essential to the safe use of the bike.
- Tires: Both tires must be inflated as specified in the manual. Failing to do so will reduce performance, increase tire wear, and compromise your safety.
- Crank: Ensure the crank (pedal arm) is tightened at the indicated torque value. (required tools: 8mm hex key, recommended torque 40-42 N.m)
- Brakes: Ensure brakes are working correctly and properly secured. When braking, apply the rear brake first, then the front brake. If brakes are not correctly applied, they may lock up and you may lose control.
It is recommended to perform the above safety checks every (200-300km)/(120-180miles) or if the bike is not used for 3 weeks.
For Your Safety
Users must become accustomed to the power controls before riding. It is highly
recommended that you ride your new bike in an open area and set the power
assist level to “0”. Once you feel confident operating your bike, increase the
power assist gradually.
Keeping your hands over the brake levers is good practice. The brake levers
have motor inhibitors that will shut down the motor power when applied. If for
any reason you lose control, apply the brake levers immediately to shut down
the motor power. Do not try to stop your bike using your feet, as this may
cause the user to lose balance.
When walking or carrying your bike, turn off the power to avoid accidentally
switching on the motor. If the motor is accidentally switched on, immediately
apply the brakes to cut off the power to the motor.
USING THE BIKE
How the Bike works
Your new E-Bike has an internal controller that provides variable power to the motor(s) using 2 sensors for the Pedal Assist mode. There is also a Twist Throttle Grip on the handlebars for pedal free riding.
- Throttle: The handlebar twist throttle mechanism allows partial or full motor power to be activated. Unfamiliarized users should be more cautious when first pushing the throttle. The throttle function is deactivated when the pedal assist level is set to “0”.
- Pedal Assist (Cadence Sensor): The cadence sensor activates the motor when the crank is in motion and provides appropriate power to the motor.
- Pedal Assist (Torque Sensor): The torque sensor activates the motor when pressure is applied to the pedals. Variable power will be applied to the motor depending on the amount of pressure being put on the pedals.
Maintenance
It is important to perform proper maintenance and often fine-tune your bike to
ensure optimal performance and safe riding.
Regularly lubricate your chain, gear shifter, sprocket, and all moving parts.
Always check the condition of your bike before riding and make sure that it is
well maintained. When in doubt, consult a bicycle mechanic for assistance!
Warning: If you do not have the experience, skill, or tools to complete
maintenance or adjustment of your bike, it is highly recommended to have a
bicycle mechanic check your bike and ensure it is safe to ride.
Liability Disclaimer
There are risks associated with the use of any bike over time which cannot be
predicted or avoided and are the sole responsibility of the rider. You are
responsible for your own actions while using an electric bike.
Bluerev is not responsible nor liable for any accidents or injuries (whether
caused by you or others) that may occur during your use.
We recommend contacting your insurance provider to determine if your current
insurance policy would cover you in the event of an accident.
ASSEMBLY

- Unscrew the retainer from the head tube.
- Remove the silver spacer from the head tube.
- Insert the handlebar stem into the head tube and tighten the retainer. (recommended torque 8 N.m)
- Align the handlebar with the front wheel and tighten the two bolts on the side of the stem. (recommended torque 12N.m)
Front Wheel
- Remove the brake pad protector located between the brake pads.
- Assemble the wheel by inserting the disc brake rotor between the brake pads, then insert the fork end onto the wheel axle.
- Remove the nut and spring (A) from the quick release skewer
- Insert the quick release skewer with spring (B) pointing inward into the right side of the wheel axle.
- Insert spring (A) pointing inward into the left side of the quick release skewer and tighten the nut.
- Close the quick release lever and tighten by turning clockwise.
Rear Wheel (required tools: 18mm wrench, recommended torque 40 N.m)
Ensure the rear wheel is tightened at the recommended torque value.
Tire pressure
Inflate the tires to (35 PSI). Recommended tire pressure is indicated on the
tire sidewall. Do not over-Inflate or under-Inflate tires.
Fender (Required tools: 5mm hex key, 15mm wrench)
- Insert the fender hook into the fork arch.
- Insert the bolt into the fender hook and tighten on the fork arch.
- Use the bolts mounted on the fork to tighten the fender stays.
Bottle Holder

Hydraulic Brake Lever Adjustment (required tools: 2mm hex key)
- Tighten the indicated bolt to extend the brake lever reach.
- Loosen the indicated bolt to shorten the brake lever reach.”
Pedals (Required tools: 15mm wrench, recommended torque 35-40 N.m.)
The right and left pedals are marked with an “R” or “L” on the end of the
thread. The right pedal axle has a smooth surface whereas the left pedal axle
has grooves.
The pedal and crank threads must line up easily. Ensure that you tighten the
pedals with your hand first. It should be easy for the first few turns. Do not
force if tightening is hard. Stop immediately as the pedal thread is not
aligned and continuing to do so will damage the thread of the crank.
- Apply a small amount of grease onto the pedal thread axle.
- Insert the right pedal into the right crank. Carefully thread the pedal clockwise onto the crank by hand slowly and then tighten.
- Insert the left pedal into the left crank. Carefully thread the pedal counter-clockwise onto the crank by hand slowly and then tighten.
Warning: Inserting the pedal into the wrong angle or not tightening it firmly will tear and strip the crank thread and will cause the pedal to detach.
Removing The Battery
The battery keys come attached to the handlebar. Insert the key into the key
port, turn clockwise, and pull the battery or battery lever.
Warning: Failure to carry out proper assembly, operation, and maintenance
can result in serious injury.
BATTERY CHARGING
