INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
How to insta the bicyc e out of the box
1. Unpack the bicycle from the box an cut all the ties that hel the bicycle together uring
shipping.
2. Turn the front fork/suspension 180 egrees. If the fork cannot turn, loosen the screws hol ing
the han lebar stem an then turn the fork. Tighten the han lebar stem back after turning the
fork forwar ; such that the stem will protru e forwar .
3. Install the han le bar onto the han lebar stem. An Allen key is supplie to install the han le
bar.

5. ! WARNING: Please make sure that the sa le an the han le bar are installe properly
before turning the bicycle upsi e own to install the front wheel. Ensure the weight of the bike
oes not ben the rear mu guar .
6. Turn the bicycle upsi e own such that the fork is facing upwar .
7. Check the pattern of the tire such that when installe they will match the irection of the rear
tires.
8. Install the front wheel by placing the wheel between the forks. Place the wheel past the front v-
2

brake. Lock in the axle by tightening the nuts on both si es with equal tightness.
9. ! WARNING: Do NOT over tighten nut against the fork; for you will risk amaging your
suspension fork.
10.Turn the bicycle back aroun on its wheels, an lower the kick-stan .

be installe to. R=Right an L=Left. Install them using the provi e wrench.
13.Install the white front reflector behin the front Fork / Suspension fork arc of your bike. Install
the front mu guar hanger onto the same screw.
14.Install the mu guar stays against the bracket provi e on the fork/suspension. Place the
stays between the clip brackets an tighten the screw against the suspension fork.
15.Place the small black plastic cover over the stem screw of the bike.
16.! WARNING: Before ri ing the bicycle ensure the main Li-on battery is properly installe an
locke in before ri ing the bicycle. If the Battery is not firmly locke onto the rear rack, it may

How to read the Battery Meters and about the Li-on battery
There are 2 Battery meters on your bike. 1 is locate conveniently on the left han si e of the han le
bar. The 4 re LED lights below the incremental bars in icate the state of the battery ischarge. The
other Battery meter is locate on to the top rear of battery with 4 green an 1 re LEDs showing the
current capacity of the battery in various states of ischarge.
As with any Lithium-ion batteries, there are a limite number of times a battery can be charge . While
priming Lithium-ion batteries are not necessary (which means it may be charge whenever you want
without affecting its charge capacity), the number of times it is charge oes affect the overall
longevity of the battery life.
To conserve battery power, switch off the electrical system by pressing the “ON/OFF” button on the
meter on the left of the han lebar, when the electric power is not nee e .
! NOTE: The sole purpose of the keys is use only to latch an unlatch the battery pack for removal.
You o not nee to insert this key to operate the electrical system of the bicycle.
