NOTICE: The following assembly steps are only a general guide to assist in the assembly of your Himiway Bike and is not a
complete or comprehensive manual of all aspects of assembly, maintenance and repair. We recommend you consult a certified
bicycle mechanic to assist in the assembly, repair and maintenance of your bicycle. For detailed instructions please view the
Himiway Cruiser Assembly video and Quick Release Installation video found at www.himiwaybike.com.
Step 1 : Install the handle bars. Remove the four screws from the stem, ensuring the linear markings on the handlebars are centered and
handlebars are adjusted to the comfortable position. Finally, tighten the screws with the assembly tool.
Step 2 : Install the headlight. Use a socket wrench to hold the nut and loosen the screw with a screwdriver and remove the screw. Install the
screw pass through headlight and the bracket and adjust the headlight properly for riding conditions.
Step 3 : Install the front wheel. Remove the plastic axle guards from the front wheel being sure not to touch the brake rotor set. Open the
quick skewer and remove the thumb nut and cone spring. Carefully lower the fork and ensure the brake rotor goes into the caliper.
Next align the dropouts with the axle of the wheel hub to make sure the fork dropouts are fully seated on the axle. Install the quick
skewer starting from the brake rotor side of the wheel and then push quick release skewer through the hub. Keep two cone springs
pointed towards the wheel hub. Tighten the thumb nut until the quick release lever is held in line with the axle, and then use your palm
of your hand to close the quick release skewer.

Step 4 : Use a bike pump with a press gauge to Inflate tires to desired PSI. The recommended pressure for this mode is 20 PSI (1.379 Bar). Do
not overinflate or underinflate tires.
Step 5 : Install the pedals. The left and right pedals are marked on both ends. First, install the right pedal by tightening the pedal in clockwise
direction. The left pedal is tightened by turning the pedal in counterclockwise direction. Both pedals should be tightened to 35 Newton
meters by using a torque wrench.
Step 6 : Adjust the saddle height. loosen the seat clamp, remove the seat post and ensure the seat clamp is centered over the hole in the seat
tube. Insert the seat post into the slot, adjust the saddle height to a suitable height and tighten the adjustment nut. When you feel
resistance, close the seat tube clamp fully.
Step 7 : Adjust the seat position forwards or backwards. Use a allen wrench to loosen the seat adjustment bolt and make sure to stay within
the marked adjustment range.
Step 8 : Install the optional rear rack. Align the holes in the rear rack with the holes in the frame and tighten with screws.
Step 9 : Check the battery pack is locked into the frame of the Himiway Cruiser. When you want to take off the battery, insert the key and
turn to release the battery pack. The battery pack can be removed and charged separately. This is the charging port. Align the
battery pack to the battery holder carefully and push until when you hear it click into the place.

The range of your Himiway Bike is the distance the bike will travel on a single full charge of the onboard battery pack. The range values in this
manual are estimates based on expected usage characteristics. Some of the factors which effect range include changes in elevation, speed,
payload, and acceleration, number of starts and stops and ambient air temperatures. Tire pressure and terrain are also important variables to
consider.
We suggest that you select a lower assistance level when you first get your Himiway Bike to get to know your bike and travel routes. Once you
become familiar with the range requirements of your travel routes, and the capabilities of your Himiway Bike you can then adjust you riding
characteristics if you so desire.
The following table provides general estimates and outlines various factors effecting range and their combined estimated effects on range.
This table is meant to help owners understand the factors that can increase of decrease range, but Himiway Bike makes no claims to the range
that individual users might obtain.

NOTICE: It is recommended that users pay close attention and ride within the following limitations to ensure the hub motor does not
overheat or become damaged from excessive loading.

MAXIMUM PAYLOAD FOR Himiway Cruiser
The total maximum weight limit of the Himiway Cruiser(125 Kilograms) includes the weight of the rider as well as clothing, riding gear, cargo,
etc. The kickstand is not designed to be used for loading cargo. You MUST hold onto the bike whenever loading cargo. Do not assume the
bike is stable and balanced when using the kickstand, always hold onto the bike when cargo is being loaded or in place.
Total maximum payload: 125 Kilograms.
Carrying a cargo load involves additional risks which need to be paid close attention to, users should practice riding on a flat and open area
with light cargo before attempting to carry heavier loads. You must become accustomed to the braking, steering, and operational adjustments
required to safely operate the Himiway Cruiser with cargo. Braking, acceleration, and balancing are all significantly affected by the addition of
cargo loaded on the Himiway Cruiser.
The following bulleted list provides important tips for the safe operation of the Himiway Cruiser when used for carrying cargo.
• Plan your route accordingly as your hill climbing ability, steering and braking are all impacted when cargo is loaded on the Himiway Cruiser.
Hills that are normally easy to climb and descend without cargo can become challenging and dangerous once cargo is loaded.
• Cargo should be loaded as low as possible to lower the center of gravity and improve stability, but ensure that cargo does not interfere
with any moving components or the ground.
• Ensure your loads are properly secured and periodically check that nothing loosens.
• Get a feel for the cargo load in a flat and open area before riding on roads.

Follow these steps for charging your Himiway Bike:
1. Turn the battery pack off using the key switch.
2. Remove the rubber cover on the charging socket on the opposite side of the battery switch.
3 .With the battery on or off the bike, place the charger in a flat, secure place, and connect the DC output plug from the charger (round
barrel connector) to the charging port on the side of the battery pack.
Charging Procedure
Do not use the front brake by itself, always apply the rear brake first followed by the front brake and be sure to
use both brakes for all braking operations. Front fork failure or loss of control are plausible when the front brake
is operated independently for slowing at high speed with cargo loads.
The kickstand is not designed to be used for loading cargo. You MUST hold onto the bike whenever loading
cargo. Do not assume the bike is stable and balanced when using the kickstand, always hold onto the bike
when cargo is being loaded or in place.
