INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
How to Install/Unfold the bicycle out of the box
1. Your folding bike is 95% installed. All you need to do is unfold the bike, insert the handle
bar stem and insert the seat. ALL of which are secured using quick releases.
2. To begin, unpack the bicycle from the box and cut all the ties that held the bicycle
together during shipping.
3. Unfold the frame of the bike while gently lifting the Quick Release upward. When the
main frame of the bike has straightened completely, release the quick release and bring
the lever all the way to the front of the bike. Then, securing the quick release.
4. Unfold the Handle stem (where the handlebar fits into) section of the bike. Then, bring the
quick release over to the top portion of the bike and secure the lever.
5. ! WARNING: Please make sure the installed saddle is at least 1/2 inch above the rear
suspension under the seat and that the post must be firmly secured before riding the
bike.
6. Install the saddle and the handle bar for the bicycle. Both the saddle and the handle bar
can be installed by tightening and locking in their respective quick releases.
7. Unfold the pedals by gently lifting them horizontally and they will lock into place.
8. The rear LED reflector takes 2 AAA batteries. To open the LED rear reflector use a Philips
2

head screw driver to slowly pry it open.
9. A front lamp is installed on your EG Vienna folding bicycle. To run this lamp, simply switch
it on all the way and the movement of the front wheel will power your lamp. Your front
reflector is integrated into this lamp.
10. ! WARNING: Be sure the main Li-on battery is installed properly before riding the bicycle.
If the Battery is installed wrongly, it may damage the battery case railing or cause the
battery to fall off the bike.
11. ! WARNING: Do NOT sit on, place anything or tie anything to the battery while installed
on the bike under any circumstances. Doing so can damage the battery holder.
12. Install the Main Li-ion battery. Ensure both side rails and the spade piece of the metal
holder are totally inserted into the battery on the underside. Then, lock in the battery in
place with the key.
13. ! WARNING: Before riding ensure the battery has been installed properly by inspecting
the mount from the bottom to ensure there is no gap between the holder and the battery.
How to Fold the Bicycle
1. First make sure your saddle and the handle bars are lowered.
2. To fold the handlebar stem, lift the quick release and move it all the way down to unhook
the stem.
3. ! WARNING: if your pedals don’t fold easily do not force them to do so, or you will risk
breaking the pedals.
4. Next fold, the pedals, by gently pressing in the pedals horizontally and then they will
effortlessly fold into their natural vertical position.
5. To fold the frame of the bike, unhook the quick release, and bring the quick release lever
all the way towards the back of the bike. Next, gently lift the quick release upward to
unhook the quick release. Bend the frame to fold it.
OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
How to operate the Electric Bicycle
The Electric bicycle can be operated in 3 different modes:
1. Manual Mode –
Place the operation switch to the left on the handle bar in the middle position, and ride
the bicycle normally as you would any bicycle.
In this mode it is not necessary to insert the key or turn on the electric controller.
2a. Power Assist Mode “S” (Standard Mode) –
Place the key in the lock/switch and turn the key clockwise to the right most position.
Place the operation switch to the left of the handle bar in “S” position, and then ride
the bicycle normally as you would any bicycle.
In this mode, the motor will assist you with full power as you pedal the bicycle.
The motor will stop when you stop peddling in this mode.
This mode saves moderate amount of battery power.
This mode gives you a moderate “miles per charge” and is considered a balanced
mode in terms of energy usage vs. distance.
3

2b.Power Assist Mode “E” (Economy mode) –
Place the key in the lock/switch and turn the key clockwise to the right most position.
Place the operation switch to the left of the handle bar in “E” position, and then ride
the bicycle normally as you would any bicycle.
In this mode, the motor will assist you with a moderate amount of power as you pedal
the bicycle.
The motor will stop when you stop peddling in this mode.
This mode saves maximum amount of battery power.
This mode will also give you the most miles per charge.
3. Fully Electric Mode –
Place the key in the lock/switch and turn the key clockwise to the right most position.
Install the optional throttle grips (included)
Place the operation switch to the left of the handle bar in any position you desire.
Twist the grips in any increments of power you desire to power the motor of the
bicycle and it will take off.
This mode uses the most amount of battery power.
This mode will give you the least miles per charge compared to the above other
modes
This mode can be used in conjunction with any of the above modes as the motor
power is supplied while twisting the throttled grip in addition to whatever mode the
switch on the handle bar is engaged on.
About the “Green” Safety Switch on the throttle grip.
This switch is now a standard safety feature on all our electric bikes from here on out.
It functions as a kill switch for the throttle grip. Pressing it the first time will disable the
throttle grip and pressing it a second time will enable the throttle grip once again.
! NOTE: This switch will NOT turn off the motor, and it will NOT disable the pedal
assist mode. It is solely to switch the throttle grip “On” or “Off”.
How to read the Battery Meters and about the Li-on battery
There are 2 Battery meters on your bike. 1 is located conveniently on the handle bar showing if
the power is “On” by the light in the bottom right of the meter and the 3 bars on top of that shows
the state of the battery discharge. The other Battery meter is located on top of battery with 3
LEDs showing the current capacity of the battery in various states of discharge.
As with any Lithium-ion batteries, there are a limited number of times a battery can be charged.
While priming Lithium-ion batteries are not necessary (which means it may be charged
whenever you want without affecting its charge capacity), the number of times it is charged does
affect the overall longevity of the battery life.
To conserve battery power, switch off the power by putting the key/switch in the middle position
(a round symbol with an x over it), when the electric power is not needed.
! NOTE: In this position the key can be removed from the switch, so it can fall off the switch if
you hit a bump while riding the bicycle.

! WARNING: Please keep the keys to your electric bicycle in a safe place. Each set of keys are
unique to your particular electric bicycle and unfortunately we do not keep a copy of your key on
file. Nor would we have a way of reproducing that key.

If your own a bike with an aluminum frame, inspect the bicycle frame carefully and
frequently as Aluminum frames can develop micro fractures from stress, severe impact
and shocks. If you see these micro fractures or cracks, stop riding the bicycle
immediately.
In case of micro fractures, have the bicycle frame repaired and inspected by a qualified
professional before riding the bicycle again.
NOTE: Have a bicycle service shop make any repairs or adjustments for which you do not have
the correct tools to or if you do not sufficiently understand the instructions set forth in this electric
bicycle’s manual supplement or the bicycle owner’s manual.
