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. A 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: the seat post tube 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. A front and rear ED lamp is installed on your EG Vienna folding bicycle. To run this
lamp, simply click the button on the top of the front ED and flip the switch on the rear
2

ED to turn it on.
9. Install the Main i-on battery by sliding the battery in with the lock side facing you. Ensure
you lock the battery in place before removing the key. Then, lock in the battery in place
with the key.
10. To turn on the electrical system of the Vienna 250, open the silicone tab on the left front
of the frame of the bike where the tube meets the stem area, and flip the switch “On” on
the battery. The USB socket on the battery can be used to charge a 5v device typically, a
smartphone or a portable audio player. Please be aware that this USB socket draws its
power from the same ion battery that runs your bike, hence using it to power some
device, will slightly reduce your electrical range on the bike.
How to Fold the Bicycle
1. First make sure your saddle and the handle bars are lowered.
2. To fold the handlebar stem, slide the safety switch and then tug on 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, lift the safety tab and then unhook the quick release, and
bring the quick release lever all the way towards the back of the bike. Next, gently 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 –
Make sure the Battery Meter/power meter on the left of the handlebar is “OFF” and
then, pedal the bicycle normally as you would any bicycle.
2a. Pedal Assist Mode (LOW) –
Turn on the battery power to the electric bike by switching on the Battery. Switch is on
the battery.
Press the red “ON/OFF” button on the meter located to the left of the handlebar to
turn “ON” the system. Pedal the bicycle normally as you would any bicycle.
The motor will stop if the brake lever is depressed even if you are still peddling the
bicycle.
The motor will stop when you stop peddling in this mode.
When first switched “ON” the motor starts off in the “ OW” power mode.
In this mode the motor is very power efficient, and will assist you with the least power
as you pedal.
In “ OW” mode, the system provides you with the most “miles per charge” of battery
power use among the pedal assist modes.
3

2b.Pedal Assist Mode (Medium) –
To put the bike in “Medium” pedal assist mode, switch on the bike as you would on the
above “ OW” mode and then press the green “Mode” button to light up the “MED”
mode and pedal 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 if the brake lever is depressed even if you are still peddling the
bicycle.
The motor will stop when you stop peddling in this mode.
This mode will give you a balanced “miles per charge” of battery power use among
the pedal assist modes.
2c. Pedal Assist Mode ( igh) –
To put the bike in “High” pedal assist mode, switch on the bike as you would on the
above “ OW” mode and then press the green “Mode” button to light up the “HIGH”
mode and pedal the bicycle normally as you would any bicycle.
In this mode, the motor will assist you with a high amount of power as you pedal the
bicycle.
! CAUTION: This mode is designed to achieve a speed of 20 MPH. User discretion is
advised
The motor will stop if the brake lever is depressed even if you are still peddling the
bicycle.
The motor will stop when you stop peddling in this mode.
This mode will give you a low “miles per charge” of battery power use among the
pedal assist modes.
3. Fully Electric Mode –
Press the red “ON/OFF” button on the handlebar meter to turn “ON” the system.
Place the “MODE” switch to the left of the handle bar in any position you desire,
because while engaging the thumb throttle, the pedal assist mode is in-active and
does not have any effect on the speed or power of the electric motor.
Depress the thumb throttle in any increments of power you desire to power the motor
of the bicycle and it will take off.
This mode can be used in conjunction with any of the above modes as the amount of
motor power supplied while twisting the thumb throttle overrides whatever mode the
“MODE” switch on the handle bar is engaged in.
You can engage this mode whenever you want as long as the system is turned “ON”.
While peddling will lighten the load demand on the electric motor, you do NOT need to
pedal in this mode of operation.
! CAUTION: This mode is designed to achieve a speed of 20 MPH. User discretion is
advised
The motor will NOT stop when you stop peddling while the thumb throttle is engaged.
The motor will stop if the brake lever is depressed even if the thumb throttle is
engaged.
! CAUTION: Remember to let go of the thumb throttle when getting on or off the bike
weather or not the brake levers are engaged.
In this mode, the electric bike will use the most amount of battery power it will use
even more battery power than in any of the pedal assist modes.

This mode will give you the least “miles per charge” compared to any of the above
modes of operation
About the Brake Safety Feature on all our Electric Bikes.
A our electric bikes make use of a wired brake lever kill switch for safety purposes.
When the brake lever is engaged, it sends a kill signal to the controller to disable the
motor under all circumstances and condition. This will ensure the motor does not
continue to spin when you need the bicycle to stop.
How to read the Battery Meters and about the Li-on battery
The Battery meter on your bike 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.
As with any ithium-ion batteries, there are a limited number of times a battery can be charged.
While priming ithium-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 system power when the electric power is not needed,
by depressing the “ON/OFF” switch on the handlebar.
! NOTE: The system can still be powered “ON” or “OFF” as long as the switch behind the tab on
the frame is in the “ON” Position.
! 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.
