SAFETY
PLEASE NOTE
Mechanical Safety Check:
Routinely check the condition of your bike. Make sure no fasteners have come loose. Perform
a visual inspection of the whole bicycle before every ride. Make sure tyres are correctly inated
within the range given on the tyre sidewall. Check your brakes for proper operation.
Your First Ride:
Be sure to pick an area away from cars, other cyclists, obstacles or other hazards to become
familiar with the controls, features and performance of your new electric bike.
We highly recommend the purchase of the Dillenger electric bike repair
toolkit. It will make your setup and ongoing maintenance much easier.
This can be purchased online.
Thank you for purchasing your new Dillenger electric bike! We know you’ll love it, and with some
care it should last for a very long time. Please read through this manual carefully before
beginning nal assembly.
THANK YOU

UNBOXING
Unboxing your Dillenger will be very exciting, but it’s important to take care when
unboxing the bike as it’s possible to accidentally damage the bike or misplace crucial
parts. It’s also much easier to unbox the bike with someone to help you.
Remove the protective packaging from the bike carefully with a pair of scissors or a box
cutter. Make sure you don’t misplace any components in the lose packaging (there can be
quite a lot of protective packaging used).
Note: Model shown is the PUMA
After you’ve taken your Dillenger out of it’s shipping carton, you should have these parts:
1. The Complete Bike
2. The Front Wheel
3. Handlebar Headstock (PUMA only)
PLEASE NOTE
The keys will be securely fastened to the frame or handlebars of
your bike. Make sure you do not lose these as they are coded and a
replacement set can only be tted in a Dillenger factory.

Once the headstock is in position and tightened, insert it into the front of the bike
Some adjustment to the headstock maybe needed to get your handlbars angled nicely
for comfort. Simply loosen the head stock and rotate the handlbars until a comfortable
angle is acheived and retighten.
Align the handlebars and tighten the single allen key on the top of headstock to secure
the handlebars at the desired height. Check the postion of the handlebars and adjust if
needed.

All bicycles (electric bikes included) have left and right side pedals. Make sure you identify
each one. This image shows how to identify each pedal. You can see the ‘R’ written on
this pedal, denoting this is the right side pedal, to be used on the right side of the bike (if
you were sitting on the bike).
Pedal sides are denoted with ‘L‘ and ‘R‘ as shown circled red in above photo. ‘L‘ denotes left
pedal and ‘R‘ denote right pedal
The right side pedal mounts to the right side crank (if you were sitting on the bike) and
left side pedal on the left crank. The right side pedal is a right hand thread, it will tighten
by turning clockwise (normal). The left side pedal is a left hand thread and will tighten
by turning anticlockwise (opposite normal). It is essential not to confuse which pedal is
used where and not to cross thread the pedal. If it feels too tight, you might have made
a mistake. The simplest way of remembering is that the pedals always screw on toward
the front of the bike. The pedals are designed this way so that the act of pedaling (while
riding) does not loosen the pedals over time.
Screw in the pedals as described above for both left and right. Depending on the type of pedal
they can be tightened using an allen key on the inside as shown above or by tightening with a
spanner inbetween the pedal and the crank (model dependant).

SEAT
This is the easy part. Simply insert your seat to the desired height (about hip height) as
shown below:
At the rear of the seat is a latch. Use this latch to tilt the seat forward to remove battery or to
help remove seat
Ensure seat clamp is aligned with the groove and loosly tightened using bolt handle
The seat is placed into the hole and adjusted to the desired height then the bolt handle is
tightened clockwise to lock the seat in position
The battery for your Dillenger is the most expensive single component and the most
crucial. The battery can be removed following these steps. Use the key provided to unlock
the battery:
The key hole and charging plug is located on the bottom of the frame near the folding join
The key is placed in the smaller hole of the two. Turn the key from anticlockwise to unlock and
clockwise to lock.

crucial. The battery can be removed following these steps. Use the key provided to unlock
the battery:
The key hole and charging plug is located on the bottom of the frame near the folding join
The key is placed in the smaller hole of the two. Turn the key from anticlockwise to unlock and
clockwise to lock.

16
Remove the battery by pulling the handle shown above after unlocking the battery with the key
You may remove the battery to charge or the battery can be charged in the frame. For
transport by car, we recommend taking the battery out of the bike and storing inside
the car, in a safe place. When mounting the battery back into the frame, insert it in the
same fashion that it was removed. The base of the battery should be inserted rst and
pushed into the frame of the bike slowly. Once the battery is reinsterted into the bike the
key should be locked. It is a tight t and this may take a couple of attempts to become
procient.
It is very important that the battery is locked into place before you use the bike again. Pull
gently on the battery handle to make sure it is denitely locked.
Place the battery back into the chassis and checked that it is secure and locked by gently pulling
the handle
BATTERY OPERATION CONTINUED...
Please consider these important points for best use:
Keys:
The keys for your bike are zip tied to your handlebars. You will have 2 keys so please keep
one as a spare separately. Replacing keys can only be done in the Dillenger Warehouse.
Battery Indicator:
The battery light indicator on the battery is not an indication of battery charge. The only
approximation of battery charge level is on the LCD display. The only accurate way to
know that the bike is 100% charged is by charging it until the charger light shows it is
fully charged (next page). Conversely, the only way to accurately know that the battery
is at is to use the bike until the LCD cuts out and does not turn back on. You do not risk
damaging the electric system by running the bike at. Just make sure you charge the bike
after every ride.
Maintenence:
Make sure you routinely check the tightness of key fasteners (nuts and bolts) such as the
front wheel, rear wheel, seat, handlebars, forks, pedals, brakes, etc.
Battery Charge:
Make sure you keep the battery topped up as often as practical. Charge the bike after
every use, at least once a month if not being used and before each ride if you have not
charged it in a week. It is not necessary to run the battery down at all. Leaving the battery
at runs the risk of completely depleting the cells which could cause premature battery
failure.
Tyre Pressure:
Make sure your tyres are pumped up to the correct PSI, which is indicated on the tyre side
wall.
Power Switch:
The battery has an on/o switch located near the handle. You must turn the switch on
before powering up the bike, and turn it o after use. The LCD display turns the system
on, once the battery is turned on.

PLEASE NOTE
When riding the bike for the rst time, pick an area away from cars and
pedstrians. This will allow you familiarise yourself with the controls of the
bike, this will ensure the safety of yourself and others around you.
1. Plug the charger into the wall socket/
outlet, just like a laptop of mobile phone
charger.
2. Check that one of the charger indicator
lights glows green.
3. Plug the charger, (battery end) into the
battery plug carefully, making sure it is all
the way in. Do not force it if there is an
obstruction.
4. The charger indicator lights should glow
red whilst charging.
5. Once one of the charger indicator lights
changes from green to red, the battery is
fully charged.
There is no way to over-charge the battery.
When it is full, the charger will stop
charging the battery automatically.
