WARNING
Read this entire manual before assembling or using your new GIN X electric bike.
Do not modify, disassemble, or replace the original electrical components on
your bike. Doing so will invalidate your warranty and could put you in danger.
Riding any type of bike comes with some risks which can’t be predicted or
avoided. Taking proper care of bike components can lower the risk of sudden
failure of components but cannot prevent it. These sudden failures could cause
serious harm, injury, or death to the rider. If you notice abnormalities in any
component on the bike, take it to a licensed mechanic to be repaired or
replaced immediately. GIN electric bikes assumes no liability for harm, injury, or
death of the rider. This manual is not intended to function as a detailed service
manual. GIN electric bikes recommends having your local bike shop mechanic
perform a detailed safety check of your e-bike before your first ride. Ensure your
local mechanic is experienced and reputable.
The GIN X can withstand most rain showers without sustaining damage.
However, the bike and its mechanical and electrical components are not
waterproof. We do not recommend storing or using the bike in wet conditions.
The warranty for the e-bike does not cover water damage.
For technical assistance or warranty claims contact our team at GIN electric
bikes at [phone] or email at [email protected]

Maintaining Your Electric Bike
Best Practices
• Store your bike in a clean dry place to avoid rust
• Keep components tightened to the torque specifications listed in the
Recommended Torque Values section of this manual. Refer to the table of
contents at the beginning of this manual for the page number of this section
• Ensure the frame latch and handlebar latch are locked in place before riding
• Clean and lubricate moving parts regularly
• Clean your bike frame with a wet rag and low residue cleaner. After cleaning
lubricate where necessary
• Ensure your bike tires are always inflated to a pressure within the
recommended range printed on the tire sidewalls
• Before each ride ensure all electrical wires are connected
• The GIN X is not waterproof. It is likely that components will not sustain
damage in most rain showers, however GIN electric bikes recommends storing
and riding the bike in a dry environment. Furthermore, water damage is not
covered under warranty
• Your bike will need to be serviced at regular intervals and after the initial
wear-in period. See the 100 Mile Tune Up and Ongoing Service sections below.
100 Mile Tune Up
Your bike will need to be serviced after 100 miles or 5 full battery charge cycles,
whichever comes first. This is what we call the “wear in period” of the bike. GIN
electric bikes recommends having service done at your local bike shop by a
certified and reputable bike mechanic. Below is a summary of things to have
inspected:
Brakes
Brake cables will stretch during the wear-in period. This may affect braking
performance and the brakes may need to be adjusted and tensioned properly.
1

Ongoing Service
Hardware
All hardware should be torqued to the torque specified in the Recommended
Torque Values section of this manual. Refer to the table of contents at the
beginning of this manual for the page number of this section. If any hardware
has signs of damage take the bike to your local bike shop to have a certified
and reputable bike mechanic inspect and replace them if deemed necessary.
You should have your bike maintained at regular service intervals at your local
bike shop by a certified and reputable bike mechanic. Below is a general
summary of maintenance that should be carried out on a monthly and
quarterly basis:
Monthly (or about every 250-500 miles)
• Inflate tires to a pressure within recommended range printed on tire sidewalls
• Lubricate chain such that there is little noise from the drivetrain when in use
• Check that all hardware is tightened to the torque specifications listed in the
Recommended Torque Values section of this manual. Refer to the table of
contents at the beginning of this manual for the page number of this section
• Check your brake pads for signs of wear. Replace if necessary
• Check your bike’s shifting performance. Adjust the derailleur if necessary
• Clean the bike with low residue cleaner and dry completely. Lubricate after
cleaning where necessary
• Check spoke tension. Adjust if necessary. The recommended spoke tension
can be found in the Recommended Torque Values section of this manual. Refer
to the table of contents at the beginning of this manual for the page number of
this section.
Quarterly (or about every 750-1500 miles)
• Check all items on the Monthly service list above
• Check tire tread for excessive wear. Replace if necessary
• Go into your local bike shop for a tune-up by a certified and
reputable bike mechanic.
Shifting
Shifting cables will stretch during the wear-in period. This may affect shifting
performance and the derailleur may need to be adjusted.

Getting your GIN X road ready!
Step 1 : Installing the handlebar
Step 2 : Installing your front tyre
Step 3 : Inflating the front tyre (to 40 psi air pressure)
Step 4 : Installing the front headlight
Step 5 : Installing the pedals
Step 6 : Installing the seat post
Step 7 : Installing the display monitor
Step 8 : Installing the battery
Step 9 : Installing the rear cargo rack
Step 1 : Installing the handlebar
1.1 Make sure that you tighten the
screws of the cockpit bar. If it comes
assembled then please tighten the
screws. They might have come loose
while shipping
1.2 Tighten the screws surrounding
the spacers
1.3 You can remove the spacers if you
need to decrease or increase the height
of the handle bar
5

1.4 Your finished handlebar assembly
should look like the adjacent image
Step 2 : Installing your front tyre
2.1 Your GIN X e-bike should have come
along with a quick-release for the front tyre
2.2 Remove the suspension fork protector
(it is attached to the lower end of the fork
so that no damage is caused to the forks
while in shipping)
Rotate the quick-release
clockwise
Lock the
quick-release
Note: the rear & front brake discs should
be aligned on the same side 6

Step 3 : Inflating the front tyre (to 40 psi air pressure)
Step 4 : Installing the front headlight
4.1 Mount the headlight on the from fork support bar
4.2 Ensure that the nut is tightened so
that it does not remain loose
Step 5 : Installing the pedals
5.1 Please note the
pedals’ threads are in
opposite directions
5.2 While rotating the pedals
(while installing) they have to
be done in anti-clockwise for
left pedal and clockwise for
right pedal 7

Step 6 : Installing the seat post
6.1 Insert the seat post through the frame
6.2 Adjust the height accordingly
6.3 Lock the seat post to the frame
using the quick release provided
Step 7 : Installing the display monitor
7.1 Your display monitor has two
slots for bolts and nuts. These
need to be screwed to the handle
bar at the center or at your
preferred location
8

7.2 Connect both the sockets together
(if you would be riding in heavy rainfall
it is better to seal it with a tape to avoid
water seeping into the wires)
7.3 Once you have tightened the bolts and
nuts and also attached the two sockets
together, the final installed version should
like the adjacent image
Step 8 : Installing the battery
8.1 Lay down the bike on it’s right
side so that it rests against the
right pedal and the right side of the
handlebar. GIN X houses the
removable battery in the
downtube for extra safety
measures
9

8.2 Battery can be charged on its own
by removing it from the downtube or
along with the bike. While sliding the
battery into the downtube frame,
ensure that the charging port in the
battery and the charging point in the
downtube are in the same line as
shown in the adjacent image
8.3 The final installed battery should
look like the adjacent image. Ensure
that once you have locked the battery
with the key, you removed the key and
keep it at a safe location. You will only
need the key while locking the battery
into the frame (you do not need it while
riding the GIN X electric bike)
Why is a FUSE present in my battery?
The purpose of the FUSE is to prevent excess current to pass through the
battery. It prevents the battery to malfunction while charging with larger
amount of current than allowed
IMPORTANT
NEVER CHARGE THE BATTERY OVERNIGHT OR FOR LONGER
THAN 6 HOURS AT A STRETCH 10

Step 9 : Installing the rear cargo rack
The cargo rack maximum weight limit is
50 Kgs. It gets mounted into the rear end
of your GIN X e-bike (just above the rear
tyre)
9.1 Attach the cargo rack against the seat
post through the quick release. Tighten it
once attached. Use the rubber pads
provided between the parts and the e-bike
frame gasket to avoid scratches and
friction to the frame
9.2 Loosen the screws to adjust
the vertical height or the
horizontal length of the cargo rack
9.3 Make sure that these screws are
tightened. A total of 15 bolts/screws
are present in the cargo rack
• 4 bolts at the lower side
• 6 bolts on the upper side
• 6 bolts at bottom the of rack to
adjust horizontal position

Walk mode (your bike starts moving by itself) : Keep pressed
Walk mode explained : Your GIN X has walk mode. This means that if
you are walking uphill or on a road and want to carry your GIN X
along with you, all you have to do is activate the walk mode! You
won’t have to carry it. It is also very handy when the tyres are flat and
you need to take it to a nearby repair shop etc.
During the walk mode, it activates the motor by itself and starts to
walk along with you!
