Assembly Instructions
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 a comfortable position. Finally, tighten the screws with the assembly tool.
Step 2 : 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 the 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 3 : Install fenders&headlight. Attach the front fender and the headlight by the screw.

Assembly Instructions
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 a clockwise
direction. The left pedal is tightened by turning the pedal in a 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.
Step 7 : Adjust the seat position forwards or backwards. Use an 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 them with screws.
Step 9 : Install the taillight. Attach the taillight and the rear rack by the screw.
Step 10 : Check if the battery pack is locked into the frame of the KBO Breeze Step-Thru. When you want to take off the battery, insert the key
and turn it to release the battery pack. The battery pack can be removed and charged separately.

Driving Range
The range of your KBO 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 affect the 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.
ϐǤ
become familiar with the range requirements of your travel routes, and the capabilities of your KBO Bike you can then adjust your riding
characteristics if you desire.
The following table provides general estimates and outlines various factors’ effective range and their combined estimated effects on range. This
table is meant to help owners understand the factors that can increase or decrease range, but KBO Bike makes no claims to the range that
individual users might obtain.
Best Practices for Extending Range and Battery Life
◆Do not climb hills steeper than 15% in grade.
◆Pedal to assist the motor when climbing hills and accelerating from a stop.
◆Avoid sudden starts and stops.
◆Accelerate slowly.

when charging.
Charging Time
When the input and output plugs of the charger are connected properly, and the battery is not fully charged, the red charging indicator light
should illuminate, showing that the battery is charging. The time that the battery takes to fully charge the battery is dependent on various
factors including distance traveled, riding characteristics, terrain, payload, and battery age.
NOTICE: The battery pack can take longer to charge when fully depleted and when the battery is new. As your battery ages you
might also experience increased charging times, but this is only expected after 3-5 years of regular use. If your battery does not
seem to be charging normally, and taking longer to charge than expected, please discontinue charging and contact KBO Bike
immediately.

Bicycle Care
To ensure safe riding conditions you must ensure your bike is properly maintained. You should follow these basic guidelines and see your
ϐǤ
1. Properly maintain batteries by keeping them fully charged when not in use.
ʹǤǤ
3. Periodically check wiring and connectors to ensure there is no damage and the connectors are secure.
4. To clean, wipe the frame with a damp cloth soaked in a mild non-corrosive detergent mixture. Dry with a cloth.
5. Store under shelter; avoid leaving it in the rain or exposed to corrosive materials. If exposed to rain, dry your bicycle afterwards and apply
anti-rust treatment to chain and other unpainted steel surfaces.
6. Riding on the beach or in coastal areas exposes your bicycle to salt which is very corrosive. Wash your bicycle frequently and wipe or spray all
unpainted parts with anti-rust treatment. Damage from corrosion is not covered under warranty so special care should be given to extend the
life of your bike when used in coastal areas or areas with salty air or water.
7. If the hub and bottom bracket bearings have been submerged in water, they should be taken out and re-greased. This will prevent accelerated
bearing deterioration.
8. If the paint has become scratched or chipped in the metal, use touch up paint to prevent rust. Clear nail polish can also be used as a preventa
tive measure.
9. Regularly clean and lubricate all moving parts, tighten components and adjust as required.
