ASSEMBLING
- Open the box, take out your KORNORGE eBike, and remove the packaging.
- Assemble the front wheel: Mount the front wheel to the front fork, and tighten the quick release at the front wheel.
- Assemble the handlebar: Lift the riser, close the latch, fix the handlebar upon the riser, align the handlebar, and fasten the screw.
- Walk the KORNORGE eBike to ensure no abnormal sound from the turning wheels. Gently pull the brake levers for a couple of times to ensure both the front and rear brakes function normally.
- Adjust the seat tube to desired height, and lock the quick release.
- Install the pedals and tighten up. Please wear a helmet when riding the KORNORGE eBike
CHARGING
Please use the original charger that comes with the KORNORGE eBike. Connect the DC jack of the charger to the charging slot of your eBike, and then the AC plug to the mains. When the charging starts, the red light on the charger turns on. The charger light turns from red to green when charging is complete. (When the battery does not need charging, do not keep the AC plug connected to the mains, and do not keep the charger connected to the battery. Do not charge indoors. When charging outdoors, avoid rain or direct sun on the charger.)
DISPLAY
BUTTONS
The buttons may be pressed, pressed and held, individually or jointly.
- When riding, press or to adjust the gear/speed.
- When riding, press to switch the display of various data.
- In general, pressing and holding a single button is for switching on and off. Pressing and holding more than one button is for parameter setting. Such design, especially without pressing more than one button at the same time for once, is to reduce the likelihood of mis-operation, and to make it easy to operate.
- Adjust gear: When in Pedal Assist Mode, press to gear up by one level, i.e., Gear 1.
- Activate/Deactivate 4.5 km/h, or switch on/off the headlight: When your eBike is still, press and hold to activate 4.5 km/h, and press and hold for three seconds to switch on/off the headlight.
- Turn on/off the display: When the display is on, press and hold for three seconds to switch on/off the headlight. Continue to press and hold for three seconds, the display shall turn off. Repeat, and the display shall turn on.
- Switch the display of various data: Press to view various data.
- Set the parameters: Press and hold and together to initiate parameter setting or viewing. Parameters that can be set or viewed include: Display brightness, unit of mileage, voltage level, time-out, pedal assist gear, wheel diameter, magnet steel quantity, speed limit, zero or non-zero start, motor engagement, pedal assist sensitivity, initial strength of pedal assist, type of magnet steel disc for pedal assist, controller current limit, and ODO erasure. Press to switch among the items of parameter. Press and to adjust the value, which shall flash upon revision.
Upon desired value, press to save, and enter the next item. Press and hold and together to exit parameter setting or viewing. The setting times out after ten seconds of inactivity.
HANDLEBAR
DERAILLEUR SYSTEM
- The derailleur system includes front and rear derailleurs, shift levers, and derailleur control cables. For smooth shifting, all components must function properly.
- Although the front and rear derailleurs are initially adjusted in the factory, you need to inspect them before each ride.
- To begin, twist the shifter to the largest number indicated, and the cable shall loosen the anchor bolt on the rear derailleur, placing the chain on the smallest sprocket.
- Adjust the high limit screw so that the guide pulley and the smallest sprocket are lined up vertically. Re-tighten the cable, pull out any slack, and re-tighten the anchor bolt securely. Shifting through the gears, making sure that each gear is achieved quietly and swiftly.
- If necessary, use the barrel adjuster to fine tune the cable tension by turning it the direction you want the chain to go.
- For example, turning clockwise loosens cable tension and moves the chain away from the wheel, while turning counter-clockwise tightens cable tension and direct the chain towards the wheel.
INSTALLING THE PEDALS
- Insert the pedal marked “R” into the crank. Hold the pedal with your hand, and turn it clockwise for a few rounds. Then clamp the pedal shaft with the spanner in the package, and turn it clockwise until fastened.
- Find the L pedal and repeat the above steps (but rotate counterclockwise).
- If you feel resistance when turning the pedal shaft, immediately remove the pedal to avoid possible damage. Attach the pedal again and make sure the pedal shaft is perpendicular to the threaded hole on the crank. Proceed with the rest of the steps. Screw in the right pedal clockwise, and the left counter-clockwise.
INSTALLING THE FRONT WHEEL
Basic mechanical principle with the quick release lever
Turn the adjusting nut clockwise to increase clamping, and counter-clockwise
to decrease. For the quick release lever to be in the CLOSE position, turn the
adjusting nut clockwise. As the nut screws inwards, the wheel is clamped onto
the frame and locked into the correct position.
How to install
- Open the quick release lever, and insert the front wheel all the way into the dropouts of the front fork.
- With your left hand, turn the adjusting nut clockwise to fasten up, and with your right hand, close the quick lease lever. Continue to turn the adjusting nut till the lever runs parallel to the hub (as indicated below) and resistance from the lever is felt
- Hold the legs of the front fork with your fingers, and use your palm to press on the quick release lever to lock into place. The CLOSE mark should face outwards, and the lever should be ahead of the legs or parallel to them (as indicated below).
