2. The handlebar Angle can be
adjusted. Loosen the 4 M8x20 bolts,
adjust the handlebars to a comfortable
position, keep the handlebars centered
and tighten the bolts.
CAUTION Be careful not to lean the handlebars too far forward or
backward as this will affect the bike's handling and comfort of the ride.
3.Install front trim panel
Install the front trim panel to the front fork assembly with
M5X14 bolts and tighten the bolts with a Phillips screwdriver.
STEP 3 Connect the power
(The ME250 power supply is disconnected
during transit for safety reasons)
1.Plug the fuse into the fuse slot of the
power cord and close the cover
2. Place the power cable with the fuse in
the battery box
First make sure the power switch is off.
The charger interface is located at the
lower right of the power switch (as shown
in the picture). There are three round
contact points in the interface, and the
round head of the charger wire has three
round holes, which just match the charger
interface. Ensure that the charger plug is
firmly inserted into the charger interface
when charging, and please cover the
protective cap when not charging.
Plug the charger into a wall outlet If the
light on the charger does not work, check
the electrical outlet. If necessary, try

.
To operate your electric mini bike you need to be able to operate the
throttle, brake and other controls without stopping to look at them. Please
study the image below carefully to become familiar with the function and
the location of each control
OPERATING CONTROLS
When operating your ME250, there are some key operating controls and
components that allow you to operate your mini bike
Their location and operation information is shown below
1. On/Off Switch 2. Throttle 3. Brake
The ON/OFF switch is conveniently
located just ahead of the driver and is
equipped with a flip-up cover. The cover,
when closed also shuts off the On/Off
switch. The switch should be left in the off
position whenever the bike is not being
used to protect the charge that is in the
battery.
The throttle provides the power for the car
to move forward, and because of the
rotating throttle structure, the power and
speed are variable.
When giving the throttle
power, twist it slowly at first to avoid
sudden acceleration
The ME250 is equipped with a rear disc
brake. The brake lever is hand operated
and is on the left hand grip mounted to the
handlebars Squeeze the brake carefully
with increasing force to stop the bike
Applying the brakes too
quickly can cause the bike to skid and you
may lose control
BEFORE YOU RIDE
Once your bike has been allowed to charge fully, disconnect the battery
charger from the bike and from the wall plug, and store it in a safe place
Check list before riding
1. Have you completely read and do you thoroughly understand this
owner's manual?
2. Have you found all the safety messages on your mini bike and do
you understand them?
3. Do you understand the location of, and how all the operating controls
on your mini bike work?
4. Are you in good mental and physical condition?
5. Are you drug and alcohol free?
6. Are you wearing a DOT-approved helmet that fits properly?

Never let your child ride without a helmet. Helmets
significantly reduce the number and severity of head injuries. An approved
DOT motorcycle helmet is the most important part of your safety gear.
Choose one that fits properly and is snug on your head. Motorcycle dealers
can help in selecting a good quality helmet with proper fit.
You must be certain that you and your mini bike are ready to ride.
Below is the pre-ride checklist. Be sure to review all the topics every time
before riding
1. Check tire pressure with the tire gauge in your ME250 tool kit. Be
sure they are at 15-20 psi.
2. Check rims to make sure they are not bent or damaged.
3. Check the level of charge on the batteries.
4. Check the drive chain to see if it needs to be lubed or tightened.
5. Check the brake to be sure it is working properly.
6. Look over the entire bike for loose nuts and bolts or body parts.
7. Check the throttle to be sure it rotates freely and returns to the low
position on its own when released.
8. Be sure that the handlebars turn freely.
Failure to properly maintain your mini bike can lead to a
crash in which you can be seriously injured or killed. Always perform a
pre-ride inspection on your mini bike and keep it in good condition to get
the most out of your ME250 electric mini bike.
The ME250 has a 250 Watt motor and 24 volts of electrical power. It
Is very important not to underestimate the ME250. Avoid getting injured.
This bike is equipped with a main toggle switch that is within easy
access of the rider This switch cuts off all power to the motor. To tum the
switch on, flip up the toggle cover and push the switch forward, or to the

DRIVE CHAIN TENSION
The drive chain transmits power from the motor to the rear wheel. To work
properly it must be lubricated and properly tensioned at all times Check the
tension on the drive chain by moving it up and down approximately halfway
between the sprockets. There should be no more than 1/2"vertical slack in
the chain. If the chain seems too loose, it may be in danger of coming off
while riding
To adjust the chain tension, follow the steps outlined below：
1. Be sure that the minibike is parked on a flat,
level surface and leaning on the kickstand
2. Using a 16mm wrench, loosen the rear wheel
axle nuts on each side.
3. After the axle nuts are loosened, use a 10mm
wrench to turn the sprocket side tensioner bolt
clockwise (to tighten) about one turn, then repeat
this process on the other side tensioner bolt.
4. Check the tension on the chain and see if it
has changed enough. If not, repeat steps 3 & 4
until the proper tension is achieved
