Assembling Instruction
Instruction d'assemblage
Front Wheel Installation
Your Electric bike equips with a front disk brake. Be careful not to damage the disk, caliper, or brake pads
when reinserting the disk into the caliper. Never activate a disk brake’s control lever unless the disk
inserts correctly in the caliper.
(1) Carefully take your bike out of the carton and gently rest it in place (Figure.1-1).
(2) Remove all of the inside cardboard protection and bubble wrap on the bike. Please locate and set
aside the kit box containing the battery charger, pedals, and tool kit, etc (Figure. 1-2).
(3) Remove the rubber pad and metal block from the front wheel and front fork. The fork is curved,
please make sure the concave of the fork facing forward (Figure.1-3).

- 6 -
(4) With the steering fork facing forward, insert the front wheel between the fork blades so that the
axle seats firmly at the top of the fork dropouts (Figure. 1-4).
(5) While pushing the wheel firmly to the top of the slots in the fork dropouts, and at the same time
centering the wheel rim in the fork.
(6) Use the Allen Wrench to tighten the nut of the quick release(Figure. 1-5). Note: The small spring
heads face the center and one on each side of the wheel.

- 7 -
Handle Bar Installation
1. Loose the bolt on top of the stem, then Rotate the stem (Figure.2-1)
2. Loosen the bolt on the side of the stem, then adjust the stem to a comfortable height (Figure.
2-2).
3. Before installing the handle bar, please pay attention to the wires harness that connect to
it,they need to be placed as shown in the picture to prevent the wire harness from being
entangled (Figure. 2-3).
4. Unscrew the four screws in front of the stem with 5mm hexagonal spanner, place the
handlebar on the stem, tighten the four screws slightly and position the handlebars to your
desired comfort level, then tighten four bolts in turn until fully tightened (Figure. 2-4)
5. Once the handlebars are aligned and the top bolt is slightly secured, tighten the top bolt with a
5mm hexagonal spanner firmly (Figure. 2-5). After tightening the top bolt, tighten the two side bolts
with a 6mm hexagonal spanner firmly (Figure. 2-6). After all three bolts have securely fastened, make
sure there is no play in the headset.
WARNING:
Do not over-tighten the stem bolt. Over tightening the stem bolt can damage the steering system
and cause loss of control.
AVERTISSEMENT:
Ne serrez pas excessivement le boulon de tige. Un serrage excessif du boulon de potence peut
endommager le système de direction et entraîner une perte de contrôle.

Seat Post Installation
1. Please pay attention to the vertical lines on the seat post; it is the minimum insert line/safety line.
Please make sure install the post into the frame deeper than the minimum insertion line. It is at the bottom
of the seat post (Figure. 3-1).
Warning: It could break the seat tube during riding if the seat post does not install correctly. It is not
covered by the warranty.
Avertissement: cela pourrait casser le tube de selle pendant la conduite si la tige de selle ne s'installe pas
correctement. Elle n'est pas couverte par la garantie.
2. Open the clamp on the seat tube, insert the seat post into the seat tube, adjust the seat to a
comfortable height, tighten the tension adjusting nut, and press the clamp lever inward toward the seat
tube (Figure. 3-2).
Please Note: If necessary, tighten the clamp by twisting the clamp handle clockwise while in the
un-clamped position. Then, fold the handle in toward the seat post. This should require a fair amount of
force to ensure the seat post is held tight. If necessary, the clamp can be further tightened with a 5 mm
Allen wrench while in the clamped position.

- 9 -
Pedals Installation
1. Identify left vs. right pedal
There is an “L” or "R” stamped into the axle (the threaded part that looks like a screw) (Figure. 4-1)
Please Note: They are not the same!! Apply a small amount of grease if possible
2. Install the left-hand pedal firstly
You will have to screw it in counter-clockwise because the threading is the reverse of a normal screw.
Do this by slowly pedaling the cranks backward. If the pedal feels stiff, stop, and then re-try, it should
feel like a smooth motion. Please do not use the wrench until you are ready to tighten it for the final
few turns. Tighten it down until you can't anymore (Figure. 4-2).
Please Note: Hand-tight is not sufficient. Use a tool. If the threads on the crank are stripped after riding,
it means the crank needs to replace. It is NOT covered by warranty.
3. Install the right-hand pedal
This one threads in clockwise, like a normal screw. Follow the same principals, as discussed in step 2 for
the left pedal (Figure. 4-3).
4. Wipe off any excess grease from around the crank.

Troubleshooting
We fully understand your feelings when you meet a problem with the bike. Contacting us on the
website where you bought the bike and telling us your problem in detail with some pictures and
videos will be the fastest and easiest way to help you solve the problem. Please don't forget to
leave your order number to us for reference.
The following are some assist tips for electrical problems:
The display can not light up
Please fully charge the battery (6-8 hours). The LED on the charger should be green color when the
battery is full charged.
If it still doesn’t work, please check the wires and battery, please make sure the connections are not
loose, and the battery installs in place, then please light up the display in the correct order (light up the
power button on the battery,press the “6km” button, and hold).
If it still doesn’t work, we need to get a voltmeter, and do some testing:
First,please light up the power button, and test the battery output voltage (Figure. 7-1). If the voltage is
“0”, it means there is something wrong with the battery output plug, cell, or fuse. Please take a picture
or a video to show your testing result, and then send it to us. The customer service department will
give you a solution. If the battery voltage is not “0”, but less than 32V, please full charge the battery
(6-8 hours), then test it again; if the battery voltage is between 32v-42v, but the display can not be light
up, it means the battery is in good condition, we need to test the other two plugs.
Second, please open the controller box, and find the power wire (black and red color) that connecting
the battery and controller (Figure. 7-2). Please test the power wire’s voltage. If it is “0”, it means the
power wire needs to replace, please take pictures, and send the pics to us. If the voltage is the same as
the battery, there's no problem with the power wire. We need to test the output voltage of the
controller. It is the plug that connects the controller and display. It has five wires on the plug, please
test the red and black wires (Figure. 7-3). If the voltage is “0”, it means the controller needs to be
replaced, please take some pictures and send them to us; if the voltage is the same as the battery, it
means the display needs to be replaced. Please picture the testing results and send them to us. It will
help us for solving your problem asap.
We have video on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zzrkBPsYjrg&t=1s

The throttle does not work
We mean the display can be lighted up, but the throttle does not work. The brakes have two functions
when you press the brake lever: 1. it will stop the bike 2. it will cut the power of the motor.
First, please check the brake lever, and make sure the brake lever can hold or release fluently. If not,
maybe the brake cut the power. Please video your problem and send it to us. We will give you a
solution.
Second, Please test the pedal assist mode (please lift the rear wheel, then turn the crank a whole
cycle), and walk assist mode(press the “down” button and hold 3 seconds). If only the throttle does
not work, it means the throttle needs to be replaced. Please video your testing and send the video to
us. If none of the three modes works, we need to test the motor wire and brake sensor.
Third, please find the plug on the motor wire (Figure. 8-1), the connection may loose. Please re-plug it,
restart the bike, and then test all three modes, if it still doesn’t work, we need to check the brake
sensor.
Fourth, please open the controller box (Figure. 8-2), and find the two plugs that connect the brake
levers and controller. It is the only two plugs that have two wires on each plug (Figure. 8-3). Please
disconnect them , then test all three modes again. If they work, it means the brake sensor is defective.
The brake wires need to be replaced. If it still doesn’t work, it means the controller needs to be
replaced. Please video your problem, and send the video to us.
If it still doesn’t work after replacing the brake wire or controller, please video how you do the
troubleshooting, and send the video to us.
We have a video on YouTube, the model is different,but the method is the same:

FAQ
Q: How does after-sale customer service/ warranty work?
A: When you have problems with your bike, please message us on the website where you bought the bike.
We will reply to you in one business day. It is best to describe your problem in details, and make a video to
show your concern, it is the fastest way to solving your problem.
Example: My bike does not work. The customer should tell us that the display can be lighted up, but the
throttle does not work. When you have electrical problems, the first thing we want to know is the display
can be lighted up or not, (The condition of the display will help us to distinguish how to solve the electrical
problems), then please provide more details about how it happens and the symptom of the problem. We
will report your problem/video to our technician team, and give you a solution. If your bike is under
warranty, we will arrange spare parts from our warehouse in the USA.
Q: I'm tech inclined and think I can fix it myself,does that void the warranty if I do?
A: No, we always like to work with and support customers who are resourceful enough to fix an issue on
their own, and we will provide plenty of tech support over email to guide you through the process. It saves
wasted time and expense in shipping and it can be a useful and fun learning process. Please contact us
before attempting a DIY repair, however, as some things have non-obvious complications.
Q:Why is the charger hot?
A: When the battery is charging, it is normal that the charger is getting hot, because part of the energy is
converted into heat energy when converting AC to DC. As long as there's no smell, you don't need to worry
about it. However, it's better to put it in a ventilated place, because the heat will accelerate the aging of
electronic components
Q:What is the range of this bike?
A: We try to give an exact number, but the range is related to the road conditions, rider’s weight, wind
resistance, ramp or not, and how you ride the bike. We test the bike on the city road, (slight wind, flat
highway, rider 160lbs, throttle, and pedal assist), the range is 20 miles. Suppose you can ride 16-23 miles. It
is normal. Full charging the bike, and pump up the tire full will Increase range.
Q: Can I ride the bike in the rain?
A: Yes, ride the bike in moderate or light rain is no problem. Please make sure the bike is bone dry before
next riding, or the bike will cut-off randomly. But do not park the bike in rain and never wading in water.
The battery and controller have a self-protection program, they will cut the power if there is a short, but
water damage will destroy the the bike's electrics.
Q: What is the most important thing for maintaining battery
A: Remember to charge the bike in time, and not leave the bike with an empty battery. Remember to
charge the battery every 2 months if you do not use it for a long time, or the battery will starve to death as
no power. It will result in a short-range or display can not light up.
Q: Do you have spare keys for the E-bike?
A: Sorry, we do not have spare keys, but spare lock-set. You should replace the whole lock set if you
lost the keys. Remember to keep a copy of the key if necessary.

Battery And Charger Care
The charger will charge a fully depleted battery in 6—8 hours. The indicator light on the charger will be red
when the battery is charging and will turn green when fully charged.
Avoid subjecting the battery to high temperatures, such as directly under the sun,for prolonged periods.
Recharge the battery before it becomes completely discharged. Completely discharging will reduce the
numbers of recharging cycles during the battery’s life and limit the capacity. Never store the battery in a
discharged state. After much use, your battery’s charge-holding capacity will decrease. If you find that
your battery does not hold a sufficient charge, you should contact us to order a replacement.
If the battery is not used for an extended period, charge it fully and recharge it every two months. Store
it in a cool, dry place. Your battery is engineered with precision for high capacity and a long, useful life.
Please do not use it to power other electrical devices. Improper use of the battery will damage the
battery and shorten its useful life and may cause fire or an explosion. If you experience unusual sounds
or odors coming from the charger or the battery, unplug the charger immediately and contact customer
service.
Recharge the battery after every use.
• Do not disassemble or alter the battery or battery charger.
• Do not place the battery near fire or corrosive substances.
• Do not allow any liquids on or inside the battery/charger.
• Do not expose the battery/charger to extreme weather conditions.
• Do not operate the battery/charger if damaged.
• Recharge the battery only with a charger specified by the manufacturer.
• Do not use the battery/charger for any use other than its intended purpose.
• Only use the battery/charger on approved products.
Please instruct your children to keep away from the charging place.

USER MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
INSTRUCTIONS D'ENTRETIEN À L'INTENTION DE L'UTILISATEUR
Having an electric bike that breaks down or isn’t running smoothly is a real pain. Here are few simple
things you can do to avoid this and keep it running smoother for longer.
Electric bikes are bicycles that have additional technology to provide pedal assistance. Because they tend
to get used so much more, and at greater average speeds, maintenance is a critical factor in keeping them
running smoothly.
You don’t need to have a fancy workshop, do these few simple things:
Bicycle maintenance
Regularly check the significant touch point bolts for tightness – handlebars, seat rails, wheels etc. If any
of these come off while riding,it can be dangerous! Riding with loose bolts can be an expensive and
inconvenient repair.
Lube your chain regularly
Check tire pressures at least once a week. Pump up to the recommended pressures if needed.
Clean your ebike with a regular hose and / or bucket & brush. Avoid high pressure water systems as you
don’t want to get water in the electrics!
Wiring. Be careful not to knock your wiring, particularly on things such as lights, motor cables near
wheels, sensor cables etc
Batteries. See our article on battery care and safety. Also, take care of sliding your battery in and out,
so you don’t bend any battery plate nodes.
The next best thing you can do for your ebike is to get it serviced regularly by a skilled mechanic -
preferably one with experience working on electric bikes! Find or avoid problems before they happen.
MOVING AND STORAGE INSTRUCTIONS
INSTRUCTIONS VISANT LE DÉPLACEMENT ET L'ENTREPOSAGE
There is very little to do in terms of electrics maintenance however the main thing is to take care!
Particularly when you are moving your ebike in and out of cars, stairs or tricky storage places.
Prolonged Exposure to UV Rays, Rain and the Elements May Damage the Enclosure Materials, Store
Indoors When Not in Use.
