6. Construction and Assembly
Depending on the delivery variant, your bike can come disassembled in different ways. In any
case, all tools required for assembly are included in the delivery.
6.1. Unpacking the Lohner-Falkon®
Open the box with extreme caution to avoid damage. Dispose of the box and packaging material
separately.
6.2. Mounting the front wheel
First remove the spacer from the front brake caliper.
After removing this spacer, do not apply the brake, otherwise the disk brake of the
front wheel cannot be mounted freely.
Figure1: View of quick release axle
Take the front wheel and position it between the forks. The brake disk should then be on the
left-hand side in the direction of travel. You must ensure that the brake disk is threaded into
the brake caliper provided for this purpose. Now guide the Ø 10 mm quick release axle from
right to left through the first fork post, the front wheel and the second fork post. Turn the lever
clockwise to fasten the quick release axle. Press the lever to achieve the required pretension.
The tensioning lever must point to the rear as shown in Figure1 the figure.
Make sure that the lever of the quick release axle is aligned to the rear (against the
direction of travel).

6.3. Mounting the handlebars
First loosen the 4 screws of the handlebar stem (Figure2) with the enclosed hex wrench and put
the cover aside. Now you can place the handlebars with the bulge, which is in the middle of the
handlebars, in the mounting shell of the stem.
Figure2: 4 handlebar screws
Make sure that the throttle grip is on the right side. Adjust the angle of the handlebar
according to your needs.
Make sure that the handlebars are adjusted so that the brake levers do not collide with the
cladding parts when turning. (Figure3)
Now take the cover of the handlebar stem and fasten it again with the 4 previously loosened
screws.
Make sure that you do not open the screw of the steering bearing (Figure4) under
any circumstances. This adjusts the steering bearing clearance and is correctly pre-
assembled at the factory.

production and during a final inspection. Because cables can stretch during transport or storage
due to the material, screws and nuts can settle or other things can occur, for your own safety
you must carry out the following inspections before the first ride:
➢Mount side reflectors if your tire does not have a reflector ring
➢Secure fit of the battery
➢All cables are intact and securely fastened to the frame
➢Ensure that all parts are fastened
➢Safe brake function

Figure15: Hardness of the suspension fork - In the direction of the arrow it will get tighter
Steering bearings adjustment screw
Leave this setting to a professional. This screw adjusts the steering bearing clearance of the
front fork. A clockwise rotation means more tension, a counterclockwise rotation means less
tension.
Handlebar retaining screws
It is described in detail how to adjust these screws in chapter 6.3.
Headlight

17
The front headlight is a LED headlight, please adjust this according to chapter 6.5. The light turns
itself on (daytime riding light)
USB connection
This USB connection is only for charging your smartphone. The power supply is 6V/1.5A. The
charging socket is attached to the underside of the wheel by means of a velcro fastener. Always
make sure that the dust protection cap is always firmly in place on the cable when you are not
using the cable.
Hydraulic disk brakes
Your bike is equipped with high-quality hydraulic disk brakes.
Tires
The tires contain a white reflector ring, so there is no need to use a separate reflector in the
spokes (attention: national laws may differ)
Bottom bracket bearing
Your bike is equipped with a pedal sensor on the bottom bracket, which depending on the
applied torque supports the propulsion aliquot.
Motor
Your wheel has either a 250 W or 500 W wheel hub motor installed. When the brakes are
applied, this motor returns the braking energy back into the bike.
Gear switching
Your bike is equipped with an 8-speed gearbox.
Footrests
The footrests (Figure16) must be used by the passenger. If the passenger's leg length is not
sufficient, this person may not ride on the vehicle. The feet must rest fully on the footrests.
Contact by only the tips of the toes is not permitted.
Battery
You can find out how to insert the battery in chapter 6.4. Special instructions for battery use
are provided in chapter 8.8.
Taillight
Your rear light switches on automatically (daytime riding light). It is possible that your rear light
may remain lit for some time after you turn it off, this is normal.
Hand grips for the passenger
The handgrips (Figure16) must be used by the passenger.

8.2. Switching on procedure
Make sure that your smartphone is switched on and the LOHNER app is running. Now switch
ON your bike by briefly pressing the Softtouch (Figure8) on the top of the battery. Depending
on whether you have activated the option Remember PIN code, a PIN code prompt will appear
during connection setup.
Connection to your smartphone occurs automatically. You know that the bike is ready for
operation by the headlight that is on.
8.3. Switching off procedure
Press the Softtouch Button (Figure8) for at least 2 seconds. The switching off procedure will be
initiated. The SOC indicator of the battery will blink 3 times, then the battery will turn off. The
bicycle lights will also turn off.
Now you can close the app on your smartphone.
The switching off procedure is not possible when the bike is locked.
8.4. Automatic switching off
To save energy, your battery will automatically switch off after 30 minutes of inactivity. This
automatic switch-off is only prevented if you have activated the lock function (according to
chapter 8.5).
Your smartphone will lose the Bluetooth connection and will show this with the icon.
If the battery is empty, an automatic switch-off can be initiated within 30 minutes, even if the
shut-off function is active.

19
8.5. Locking function of the bike
To protect your bike from unauthorized use, you can lock your bike electronically. In this case,
the motor is actively energized against the attempted direction of movement. This results in
clicking noises, which are completely normal. This lock only affects the rear wheel.
Riding away is made more difficult, but this locking function is not an anti-theft
device! We recommend protecting the bike from theft with a lock.
With this function your bike remains running (noticeable as the headlights switched
on), and therefore the battery can drain, because the complete system continues to
actively work. If the battery is completely drained, or is inactive for 30 minutes,
automatic switch-off is initiated to protect the battery.
If the automatic shut-off is activated due to a weak battery, or if you switch the battery off
yourself, the locking function will be inactive, and the bike can be moved! However, the locking
function becomes active again when the unit is switched on again. This function prevents the
motor support from being activated by unauthorized persons.
To activate this function, swipe from the left side of the screen. Now you can click on
the large lock symbol in the lower part of the screen in the options menu. Now the
lock will turn red which indicates that the lock is active. In addition, you can also see
the symbol in the status bar of your app.
To disable this function, swipe from the left side of the screen. Now you can click on
the large lock symbol in the lower part of the screen in the options menu.
Depending on whether you have activated the "Remember PIN code" option, you will
now be asked for your PIN code. If the prompt is successful, the lock will turn green which
indicates that the lock has been deactivated. In addition, you can also see the symbol in the
status bar of your app.
