Assembling Your E-Bike
- Read all of the instructions carefully. Be familiar with the proper operation of all items.
- 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.
- Our QA mechanics have assembled and tested your bike beforehand.
- To assemble your bike, work on a clean area with enough space to maneuver.
- If installed, remove the battery from the bike to start the assembly.
- Inspect the bike completely to be sure no damage occurred during shipping.
- The kickstand is designed to support the bicycle only. Not the rider mounted.
- You can adjust the tilt on your handlebar items for comfort.
- Check all screws and parts are tight and properly fixed. We recommend a pre-trip inspection before your first rides.
Installing Your Handlebars
- Remove the screw ① and then release the screw ② a little bit as the following figure shows.
- Insert the handlebar into the right position of the stem.
- Tighten the screw ① first by 8-10 torque force and then tighten the screw ②.
- Tighten the test screws ③④⑤⑥ in the same way by 8-10 torque force.
Installing Your Front Wheel – Through-Axle Version
- Insert the axle into the wheel hub as shown. Add the Slim Spacer on the LEFT side (Brake Disk) and the Wide Spacer on the RIGHT side.
- Insert the front wheel with the spacers in between the front fork on the bike. Be sure to align the disk between the brake caliper as shown in Figure 2.
- Now on the outside add the washer and nut on each side and hand turn until snug.
- 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).
- Now tighten each nut putting your weight into the wrench. Your front wheel is now installed.
- The Adjustment Nut needs to be very tight, be sure to retighten after your first couple rides.
Installing Your Pedals
-
Warning: Incorrect installation will cause damage. Please read the instructions and watch our videos if needed.
-
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) -
Sitting on your bike the pedals go on the Left and Right side respectively.
-
Keep the pedal Horizontal while hand screwing to get the thread started. Then Use your 15mm wrench to tighten them.
-
Both pedals tighten towards the front of the bike. The left pedal is reverse threaded to allow this.
-
The pedals need to be very tight, be sure to retighten after your first couple rides.

How to Charge Your Bike
There are two options to charge your battery.
Option 1, to charge the battery ON the bike

Notes :
- Charging time varies from 6 to 10 hours.
