Getting Started...
Set out the carton paying attention to the “This Side Up” markings on the box.
Next, open both the inner and outer cartons. With the box open you should
remove the seat and any other loose accessories laying on top of the bike. With
the loose parts removed, lift the bike out of the carton and rest it on the oor.
Check the bottom of the box for any other remaining accessories. Accessories
included in the box are:
Battery Charger•
Seat•
Fenders•
Owners Manual•
Tool Kit•
Basket, Basket Stay, Hardware Kit•
Lock Chain•
Warranty Registration Card•
If anything is missing from the carton contact e-Moto immediately at 888-443-6686 for
a replacement.
Remove the Packing...
With the bike sitting on the ground, begin to carefully remove the packing
material on the bike-- and separate the parts bound to the bike with wire ties.
When removing the packing material use diagonal wire cutters instead of a knife
to prevent scratching of the frame.
Tool List
#1 and #2 Phillips Screwdriver•
Metric Combination Wrenches, Size M8, M10, and•
M15
Metric Hex (Allen) Wrench, Size M4, M5, M6•
Diagonal Wire Cutters•
Utility Knife•
Note: Your e-Moto bicycle comes with a tool kit that contains most every tool
needed for assembly. Even though these tools are included, mechanics tools make
for an easier assembly and should be used if available.

Remove the protective plastic cap from the end of the handle bar
assembly, and insert the two pieces at the end of the stem into the headset
bearing as shown above. There is a maximum installed height etched into the
stem- pick a height within the allowed range and tighten the jam nut using your
M6 hex wrench. Install the Seat.
If you do not have a bicycle assembly stand, at this point you can turn
the bike upside down so that it rests on the seat and handlebar. If you do have
a stand, mount the bike now.
Installing the Handlebar

Installing the Fender
Remove the bolt and lock nut from the front forks using 2 M10 wrenches. Pay
close attention to the installation order of the bushings. Find and remove the
packing from the Front Fender.
Reinstall the bolt into the front fork, with on bushing on the front with the
curved side facing the fork. On the rear, instal the remaining bushing, curved
side toward the fork, then instal the fender bracket. Tighten.

Installing the Front Wheel
Next, remove the nuts and washers from the front wheel axle. There should
be a nut, one at washer, and one keyed washer per side. You will also need to
nd the black metal stay for the basket to complete this step.
Insert the axle into the slots on the bottom of the fork. First, install the keyed
washer so that the hooked end faces in, toward the fork, and rests in the small
hole above the axle slots, as shown below.

Next, slide the basket stay onto the axle on both sides.
On the outside of the axle stay, add the chrome fender stay to the axle.
Installing the Front Wheel

Installing the Front Wheel
With both stays installed, add the at washers to the axles.
Finally, install and tighten the axle nut.

Note:
Pay close attention to the following segment about brake
adjustments. A well functioning brake is critical to the safe
operation of your new electric bike.
The directions in this manual are also applicable to brake
adjustments for future bike tune ups, so be sure to hang on to
this manual.

Adjusting the Brake
Loosen the M5 hex nut on the right side of the brake, then using your free
hand, pinch both brake arms together until there is approximately 2-3mm of gap
between the pad and the rim. Tighten the nut into this position, verify the gaps,
then squeeze the brake handle and check the feel of the brakes.
Repeat this process until you have afrmative brake feel, and the handle is tight.

Once good brake feel has been adjusted, use your #1 screwdriver to adjust the
small black screw shown above. This will allow you to adjust one pad inde-
pendent of the other to set spring tension on both sides and to prevent brake
squeal. Once there is a 2-3mm balanced pull, check the feel of the brake handle
again, and turn the wheel to make sure it spins freely.
Finally, tuck the loose wire end to the cleat on the brake arm, as shown below.
Adjusting the Brake

Installing the Basket
Locate the hardware kit for installing the front basket. Included should be 4
Phillips machine screws, 4 Nuts, 4 Washers, one at bracket, one channeled
bracket.
Next, pivot the previously installed fender stay up and into position above the
front fender, as shown below.

Installing the Basket
First, install the lower stay bracket.
Align the channel in the bracket with the round stay mounted on the bike.
Then install with 2 screws and 2 washers. The bracket itself is threaded so
there is no need for nuts.

Installing the Basket
Locate the remaining at bracket from the fastener kit. Using two screws, with
washers installed, inset attach the assembly through the back of the basket onto
the stay mounted on the headset bearing.
Finally, tighten the screws using the remaining nuts from the fastener kit.

Installing the Pedals
Before applying a nal torque to the basket fasteners, ensure it is aligned
properly with the bike.
Next, look at the threaded ends of each pedal. The end will be stamped with
either a ‘L’ for left or a ‘R’ for right. Thread the pedals on to the correct arm,
and tighten with a M15 wrench. Note: The left pedal is reverse threaded. It
will tighten in the opposite direction from the right side.

Final Steps
Inate both the front and rear tires to 45psi. All e-Moto electric bicycles have
self sealing tubes, so use caution to clean any residue from the self-sealing com-
pound from around the valve stem.
Finally, install the rubber plugs and caps on the front and rear axles, as well as
the dust plug in the stem, as shown below.

Final Steps
Before you ride your new e-Moto Electric
Bicycle...
It is imperative for the long life of your new e-Moto bike battery
that it be charged before it is ever ridden. The rst charge after
your bike is unpacked may take as long as 8-hours, while subse-
quent charges will take approximately 4-hours.
Finally, be sure to completely ll out and return your warranty
registration card to e-Moto. The VIN number for your bike is
stamped into the frame, just below the headset bearing and above
the e-Moto logo. (See the photo above)
