ADJUSTING FOR COMFORT & SAFETY
1. Adjust the Seat Height
An ideal seat height for most riders allows them to be comfortable and
get the best pedaling efficiency. When the rider is seated, they should
be able to place the ball of their feet on the pedal at its lowest position
The following steps are critical for your comfort and safety, and
must be performed before your first bike ride. We recommend that
you consult a bike fitting professional such as a certified, reputable
bike mechanic who specializes in bike fit.
WARNING

while their legs are almost fully extended, with the knee slightly bent.
The seat should never be so high that the rider must rock side to side
or fully straighten their legs while pedaling. And the seat must never be
pulled out so far that the minimum insertion point is above the seat
tube (see illustration).
2. Derailleur
1. Adjust the screw on the shifting wire when it is hard to switch the
shifter.
2. Loose screw 1 slightly when the shifter can't switch to the 7th gear.
on the contrary, if it can't gear down to the 1st level, loose screw 2
slightly and try again.
Overextending the seatpost can cause it to break or fall off your
bike, which will put you at a very high risk of serious injury or death.
Avoid this danger by inserting your seatpost into the seat tube far
enough that the minimum insertion point is no longer visible.

RIDING GUIDANCE
Three Modes
•Pedal Mode
This mode does not require any power. It allows the ebike to work like
other regular bikes. You will be automatically switched to this mode
when the battery dies while riding.
• Electric Mode
Turn on the display and press the throttle slowly to get started. When
releasing the throttle slowly, the riding speed will gradually drop until
power off.
•Pedal Assist Mode
The rider can engage the pedal assist system (PAS) while pedaling,
and it will call up assistance from the motor to help propel the bike
forward. Pedal assist uses a cadence sensor built into the drive train of
the bike. The cadence sensor detects when the rider revolves the
pedals and signals the electric motor to provide the level of pedal
Incorrect assembly, maintenance, or use of your ebike can cause com-
ponentorperformancefailure, loss of control, serious injury, or death.
If you are not sure you could correctly perform all assembly steps in
the manual, consult a local, certified, reputable bike mechanic.

assistance (0-5)(0-4) that the rider has selected.
Notice Accelerate slowly and use the pedal assist at the beginning of
riding. When riding against the wind or climbing the hill, avoid using the
pedal assist to protect the battery.
• Throttle Mode
The throttle is located on the right side of the handlebar. The rider can
use it with a twist of the throttle grip to propel the bike forward without
pedaling.
To engage the throttle while riding, slowly and carefully rotate it toward
yourself. The more you twist, the more powerfully the motor will propel
the bike forward. Once you release the throttle or apply the brakes, the
throttle will no longer propel the bike forward. Always keep one hand
on the brake lever and be prepared to squeeze the lever to disengage
the throttle if needed, or turn off the bike to prevent accidentally
engaging the throttle.
