Road Safety
WARNING: Read and follow all safety warnings before riding!
• Traffic laws: Some state and local traffic laws may require that your bicycle be
equipped with a warning device, such as a horn or bell and a light, if the bicycle is
to be ridden after dark. When you are riding on the road, make sure that you are
always visible to other vehicles. Please respect the road rules in all circumstances.
• This bike is intended to be used on urban roads. It is not intended for use on
unpaved ground or for off-road use. Failure to follow these warnings could result
in a fall or accident and permanently and irreversibly damage the condition of
your power-assisted bicycle. If you fall, make sure you carefully inspect your bike
before riding again.
• On and off-road operation: Avoid the following hazards: drain grates, potholes,
ruts, soft road edges, gravel and leaves, especially when they are wet.
• Protective equipment: Like any other moving products, cycling can be a
hazardous activity and it is possible to get into dangerous situations. Always
wear proper protective equipment, such as an Australian standards-approved
helmet, elbow pads, knee pads, long sleeve shirt, gloves, long pants.
• Always wear fully enclosed shoes: Make sure your shoe laces or buckles are
done up properly before riding. You must not ride barefoot or in sandals.
• Wet weather warning: Slow down your speed when riding in rainy and snowy
conditions and in slippery areas. Increase your braking distance to ensure safety.
Use the rear brake lever FIRST, then the front brake lever.
• Night-time operation: We do NOT recommend riding your bike at night. If you
have an emergency that makes it necessary to ride at right, have proper lights
and reflectors. Do NOT ride at night without a headlight, taillight, a white front
reflector, a red rear reflector and yellow wheel reflectors.

minimum insertion line is inside the frame. See that the seat is at the proper
height for the intended rider. Perform each check list below after all assembly
instructions and any necessary adjustments have been completed.
WARNING: Failure to perform these checks could result in serious injury to
yourself and others.
– General inspection: See that all reflectors have been properly installed. Replace
any missing or damaged reflectors. Check all fasteners and tighten if necessary.
• Height adjustment: Adjust the seat height and handlebar height appropriately: the
rider must be able to straddle the bicycle with at least 2.5 cm clearance above the
horizontal bar when standing. Please refer to the assembly and folding sections for
details.
• Tyre pressure: The tyre pressure range of this electric folding bicycle is 270–
440 kPa (39–64 psi), which is marked on the tyre. Please ensure that the tyre
pressure is within this range to avoid accidents (1 psi = 6.895 kPa).
• Check the tyre pressure: The tyre pressure range of this e-bike is indicated on the
sidewall of the tyre. Check your tyre pressure before each ride by squeezing the tyre
between your thumb and fingers. It should feel very firm, but not hard. When you sit
on your bicycle, the tyre sidewalls should not compress very much under your body
weight. Use a hand or foot pump to inflate your tyres. NEVER inflate your tyres with
an air compressor at a petrol station.

Step 4: Installing the Saddle
The saddle is pre-assembled to the seat post (Fig. 11).
1. Loosen the seat clamp, then insert the seat post into the bicycle frame, making
sure that the minimum insertion mark on the seat post is completely inserted
into the frame and not visible.
2. Tighten the quick release seat post binder bolt securely at the desired height.
Turning the tension adjustment nut clockwise while keeping the cam lever from
rotating increases clamping force. Turning it counterclockwise while keeping
the cam lever from rotating reduces clamping force. Less than half a turn of the
tension adjustment nut can make the difference between safe clamping force
and unsafe clamping force.
3. Adjust the seat angle so that the top of the seat is parallel to the ground and
comfortable for the rider.
4. Retighten the seat clamp nuts securely with an adjustable wrench.
5. Your new electric folding bike is now fully assembled.
IMPORTANT!
• Pay special attention to the insertion warning mark.
• Test the seat to pedal distance by having the rider sit on the seat. When the
rider's leg is slightly bent, the ball of the foot should rest on the pedal when it
is in its lowest position and the feet of a seated rider can reach the ground. If
it does not, adjust the seat height as necessary.
• Check for tightness by attempting to twist the seat. If the seat is loose, be
sure to tighten the clamp nut and binder bolt nut securely.

Instructions (Cont.)
Electric-assisted mode (pedal assistance)
Pedal assistance is triggered when you pedal forward and it stops when you stop
pedalling. In other words, power assistance happens as long as you pedal. You
do not need to pedal hard, just apply a light force to the pedals continuously to
maintain the current flow.
When you apply one of the brakes, power assistance will stop automatically,
allowing the electric folding bicycle to slow down and stop.
Power assistance will turn itself off when the e-bike has reached the maximum
speed of 25 km/h, in accordance with the current standard.
6 km/h mode
Turn the throttle to provide 6 km/h assistance when pushing (walking along with)
the electric folding bicycle. Do NOT turn the throttle when riding the bike!
Removing/inserting the battery
To remove the battery, turn the battery key to the UNLOCK position and pull out
the battery by the handle.
To insert the battery in the frame, turn the battery key to the OFF position.
IMPORTANT: Check the bicycle before every use!
– Tighten the handlebars and stem—the stem must be inserted into the head
tube to at least the minimum insertion line and the clamp nut and stem bolt
tightened securely.
– Check the saddle—the minimum insertion line must be inside the frame, the
seat clamp securely tightened and the seat at the proper height.
– Check the tyres—they must be inflated by hand to the appropriate pressure
270–440 kPa (39–64 psi). The tyres should feel very firm, but not hard when
squeezed between your thumb and fingers.
– Check the brakes—test them before you ride. Replace the brake pad when
any part of the brake pad wear groove is not visible.
– Check the chain—ensure it is correctly routed. Clean and relubricate the
chain when required. Check for "chain stretch" after extensive cycling
WARNING: Failure to perform these checks could result in serious injury to
yourself and others.

Other Useful Information
Cleaning and care
WARNING!
Clean the electric folding bicycle properly and maintain it in good working condi-
tion. The warranty will not apply in case of corrosion due to lack of maintenance.
• After every ride, wash your bike with soapy water (liquid dish soap is
recommended for its ability to remove grease without damaging the bike),
but do not wash any electrical parts. Avoid using high-pressure washers.
Always dry your bike with a soft cloth in order to avoid rust and corrosion. While
carefully drying your entire bike, you will also be able to inspect all the different
parts and detect any potential problems.
• Lubrication is an important part of maintenance of electric bicycles. The
front axle, middle axle, flywheel, front fork shock absorber pivot and other
components should be scrubbed with an appropriate lubricating oil every six
months.
• Check the chain tension after every ride. The correct chain tension is 8036 N.
The bike has a freewheel, so you can check the chain tension by spinning the
pedals backwards. The chain needs to be as tight as possible without creating
friction that will waste energy and wear the chain and cogs prematurely.
Professional bike mechanics are required to carry out the following steps:
• To adjust the rear wheel's position, loosen one side and push the rim between
the chain stays to one side to move the loose end of the axle a short distance
back or forward. Retighten the nut. Loosen the other side and ease the rim in
the other direction so the rear wheel is once again straight in the frame.
• Test again and repeat the process, moving the rear wheel a short distance
forward or back until the tension is in the target zone. You need to test by
spinning the pedals because neither cogwheel will be a perfect circle so the
chain tension will vary as the cranks spin. Once the chain tension is acceptable,
tighten both nuts fully.
• During the whole process please pay attention to the motor cable, do not
damage or loosen the cable.
