Unpacking Instructions
Remove all packaging materials and dispose of it in a responsible manner.
Once you have removed all materials it is a good idea to check over the bike to
make sure that the bike has not been damaged in transit.
Your bike comes 99% assembled and only requires you to unfold the pedals,
unfold the handlebars, and insert the saddle, and your ready to begin adjusting
the handlebar height and saddle height to suit your riding position.
Getting Started.
1. Unfold the bike (if folding type) . This is explained on page 5/6
2. Ensure the pedals are unfolded ( if foldable pedals used ).
This is achieved by rotating the folded pedal until it snaps back into the riding
position. (Fig.1)
3. Insert the saddle/seatpost assembly and adjust the saddle so it is at the
correct height for your body frame. This can be done by undoing the quick release
mechanism (see fig. 2) and sliding the seat post up or down the seat tube. Please
ensure the fastener is tightened back up once the correct position has been
found. Be sure not to raise the seatpost higher than the minimum insertion mark.
4. The handlebar height can be adjusted by releasing the quick release clip,
adjust to required height and simply retightening.
Ensure you tighten properly. (fig 6.) Within the carton you will also find
the battery charger for your bike
Enclosed will be a few of the tools you will
need in a handy bag.

Getting Started. (cont.)
5. Switch on the Battery with Key, button or switch ( see
‘ Battery’ section. You may also need to switch ‘ON’ the
ON/OFF switch or ‘ON’ button on the Module on the
handlebars.
6. To start, simply begin to pedal. Once the crank is turning you will feel the
motor kick in and your electric system begin to assist you.
7. When using the 3 level module, first select the level of assist you require
(see fig. 4). Please be aware that riding constantly in the high (“H”) level
of assist will reduce the range of the battery.
8. Please be aware that this bike is a “pedalec” cycle and as such requires
the rider to be pedaling before any assistance will be given by the motor.
9. Once riding the conventional 6 speed gear shift can be used by thumb
shifting up with simple release button to drop back down. (see fig. 5).

General Assembly Instructions.
• Remove all packaging materials from the bike.
• Lift locking pin and join the hinge tightly together. Fold the main
frame hinge so the bicycle comes together at full length.
( for folding frame ). Note this may be done already depending on
how it is packaged.
• Release locking pin so pin drops firmly into the hinge assembly.
• Now lift the quick release lever into the v slot (As shown)
and close ensuring the lever is locked down firmly.
• This is critical to ensure the safe operation of the bicycle.
• Lift the handle bar to the upright position to lift the locking clip arm to
lock it place. Again this needs to be checked
for complete firmness and accuracy. (As shown on page 6)
• Ensure when adjusting the saddle it is not raised higher than the
minimum insertion point clearly marked on the seatpost.
• Check and re check for tightness.

Alignment of handle bars
• Folding Handlebars
• The handle bar assembly comes fully
complete and requires you only to lift
the bar and lock into place. To drop the
handlebar down for transport of
storage simply release the clip using
the locking button.
• Check and re-check for firmness.
• If required the handlebar can be
adjusted by releasing the 2 allen key
bolts, remember to re-tighten evenly.
Install Pedals and tighten onto
Cranks.
Use a small amount of axel grease on
shaft before installing. Ensure you clearly
identify Right and Left pedals via the R or
L stamped on the end of the pedal shaft.
Screw pedal in clockwise. Tighten with
pedal spanner or 15mm spanner.
Remember bicycle pedals tighten in a
clock wise direction.
To fold pedals push the
pedal from outside
towards bike and fold.

6 Week Inspection
It is recommended that after this period you should inspect your bike
as things will slacken off and need re-tightening.

It is recommended that every six months you complete a full service
on your bike to keep it in excellent working order.
When stored and not in use remove the Battery and store in a cool,
dry place, charging periodically as the battery will discharge over
