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 in 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. You 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 ride.

Installing Your Handlebars

1. Point the headset towards the front of the bike.
2. Place the handlebar in the handlebar mount being careful with the wires.
3. Face the mounting brackets on the front end of the mount with the round edges facing outward.
4. Insert the screws into the screw holes and tighten alternating sides until secure.
5. Verify your front tire lines up with your headset.
6. Check all headset items are tight.

Installing Your Front Wheel – Quick Release Version

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.

3. Now on the outside add the washer and nut on each side and hand turn until snug.
4. Using your wrench, tighten each side alternatively until snug (you might need to secure the opposite nut slightly so the whole axle doesn’t turn).
5. Now tighten each nut putting your weight into the wrench. Your front wheel is now installed.

   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 sides respectively.

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.
5. 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.
