Warning Message
Read this entire manual before assembling or using your new
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. Philodo Bike LTD assumes no liability for harm,
injury, or death of the rider.
This manual is not intended to function as a detailed service
manual. Philodo Bike recommends having your local bike shop
mechanic perform a detailed safety check of your bike before your
first ride.Ensure your local mechanic is experienced and reputable.
The Philodo P7 and H7 can withstand most rain showers without
sustaining damage. The bike has an IP rating of 54. This means it
is dust tight and can withstand jetting water. See the IP code for
more details.
It does not mean that the bike and its mechanical and electrical
components are waterproof. We do not recommend storing or
using the bike in excessively wet conditions. The warranty does
not cover water damage.

Product Overview
Assembly
Front wheel
1. There are two springs, a lever and a nut on the quick release
skewer. Remove the nut and one spring. Remember that don't
unscrew any nuts on the hub of the front wheel.
6
2. Get the front wheel and insert the skewer from the disc side.
From the other side, attach the spring followed by the nut.
3. The larger sides of the springs are on the outside end of the
skewer.
4. Lift the bike, then insert the disc brake into the caliper. Make
sure that the axle fits nicely in the front forks.
5. Tighten the nut on the skewer until the lever becomes firm to
close. The lever should leave an imprint in your palm.
Headlight
1. Make sure the front fork brace is at the front of the bike, not at
the back.
2. Place the headlight and the fender at a right position, then
tighten the screw. The headlight can be adjusted up and down to
change the illumination angle.
7
Handlebar
1. Turn the stem to the front.
2. Remove the faceplate of the stem.
3. Take care to note that the cables should run cleanly from the
handlebar. They should not be twisted. Don't remove or detach
the cables.
4. Insert the handlebar then reattach the faceplate of the stem.
5. Tighten the screws. You should keep swapping between the
screws to ensure that the faceplate has a consistent gap from the
stem along all edges and tighten securely. The handlebar should
8
be aligned so that the once front wheel is installed, the brake
levers are at 45 degrees to the ground.
6. Tighten the screw under the black rubber cover where on the
top of the fork.
7. Align the stem with the front wheel. Tighten the two screws on
the stem.
Pedals
1. It is important to note that pedals are sided. Remember this is
always from the perspective of the rider. Locate the left hand
side/ right hand side pedal, which is marked "L" and "R".
2. The thread on the left hand pedal is reversed. So tighten it
counter-clockwise. Install the left hand pedal into the left crank
arm gently by hand. Then tighten the pedal by a 15mm wrench.
3. The right hand pedal has a normal thread. So tighten it
clockwise. Install the right hand pedal into the right crank arm
gently by hand. Then tighten the pedal by a 15mm wrench.
Seat post
For better pedaling, safety and overall riding comfort, positioning
the seat at the right height is important. The rider's leg length is
used to determine the seat's position. When you pedal, your hips
should remain level and your legs should be almost fully extended
at the boom of the pedal stroke, but not over-extended.
To determine the right seat height, sit on the eBike with one pedal
at its lowest point and place the ball of your foot on the pedal.
Your leg should be almost fully extended with a slight bend at the
knee.

1. Open the quick release lever. Insert the seat post into the seat
tube.
2. Adjust the height of the seat. Do not raise the seatpost
beyond the minimum insertion marking on the seat post.
3. Tighten the nut on the quick release until the lever becomes
firm to close. Close the quick release lever by your palm or
finger.
Adjusting the Seat Position and Angle
To change the angle and horizontal position of the seat:
1. Use a 6 mm Allen wrench to loosen the seat adjustment bolt
on the clamp positioned underneath the seat, above the rear
wheel. Do not remove the bolt fully.
2. Move the seat backward or forward to adjust the angle. A seat
position horizontal to flat ground is desirable for most riders.
3. While holding the seat in the desired position, use a 6 mm
allen wrench to tighten the seat angle adjustment bolt securely
to the recommended torque value.

or remove from the battery mount. Do not force the battery to
avoid the risk of damage or personal injury.
5. Battery charging times may increase with battery age and
usage.
6. Only grab the charger by the plug and not the cable when
plugging and unplugging from the wall.
7. If you know you won’t be using the battery for more than a
few days, keep it charged at about 75% capacity. At 75%, the
battery will degrade less than at higher charge levels.
8. Periodically check your battery’s charge level about once
per month and charge back up to 75% if necessary.
9. If you want to increase the number of cycles your battery
will last for, charge your battery to 100% a few hours before
you plan to ride it. For example, if you ride the bike and the
charge level falls to 50% but you plan to use the bike again in
a few days, wait until the night before you plan to use it again
to charge it up to 100%.
10. When your battery has worn out and is no longer usable,
dispose of your battery according to your country or district

Lithium Ion batteries can be dangerous. Take care when
using and charging your battery. Failure to follow the above
guidelines could result in damage to property and/or serious
injury. Contact Philodo Bikes immediately if you have any
questions regarding battery safety.
Preparing to Ride
Ensure all components are properly secured before riding
otherwise serious harm or death could occur. All components
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. This includes but is not
15
limited to: pedals, handlebars, handlebar clamp, cranks, seat,
and seatpost clamp.
Make sure you can’t twist the seat or stem out of alignment
by hand.
Check to see if your saddle is positioned at the proper height.
Sit on the saddle facing forward and place the ball of your
foot on the pedal at its lowest point. Your leg should be
mostly straight at this point with a slight bend at the knee.
You should be able to pedal the bike without overextending
your leg when the pedal is at its lowest point. Your legs may
be overextended if it causes your hips to move side to side,
which means the seat must be lowered.
Check that your suspension fork is properly adjusted for the
terrain and your weight. The suspension fork will affect the
handling of the bike, primarily when going over bumps and
stopping. In some situations, it may be advantageous to lock
out the suspension so it is fully rigid.
The suspension fork can be locked out so it is rigid, and the
tension is adjustable. To adjust the suspension fork use the
knob. To fully lock the suspension, turn the knob clockwise
towards the “lock” direction indicated until it cannot be
turned further.
To increase the stiffness, turn the knob clockwise towards
the “lock” direction indicated. To make the suspension softer,
turn the knob counterclockwise towards the “open” direction
indicated.
