or performance failure, loss of control, serious injury, or death. All operators of this E-Bike must read and understand
the entire manual before riding. If you are not sure you have the experience, skills, and tools to correctly perform all
assembly steps in the manual, consult a certified, reputable bike mechanic.
1.) Unboxing:
Required Tools:
•Cutting pliers or utility knife (to cut box strapping and heavy bike banding) – not included
•Scissors (to remove bubble wrap and protective packaging materials) – not included
•8mm, 10mm, 15mm, and 19mm wrenches – included
•3mm, 4mm, 5mm, and 6mm Allen wrenches – included
•2.5mm Allen wrench – not included
1. Cut and remove banding straps from exterior of box.
2. Locate and remove Tool Kit and Accessories Box containing the pedals, battery charger, hardware, front light,
and tools.
3. Remove bike and remaining parts from the box. (NOTE: Lay box on side and slide bike out or use two people to
lift it out.)
4. Cut the packaging straps to remove the front tire from the frame of the bike. (NOTE: Use caution when cutting
the straps making sure to avoid brake lines and cables.)
5. Cut packaging straps to remove the fenders from the tires.
6. Cut packaging straps to release the handlebars from the bike frame. (NOTE:Check to make sure the cable
connections did not pull apart or disconnect during this step or in shipping.)
7. Remove remaining bubble wrap, foam, and other shipping materials from the bike.
2.) Handlebar installation:
1. For shipping reasons, the handlebar stem is shipped facing in the reverse direction. Spin the stem to the correct,
forward-facing position. (NOTE: The stem bolts will still be loose. These will be tightened after the front tire is
installed to ensure proper alignment.)
2. Using the 4mm Allen wrench, remove the (4) bolts from the bicycle stem. Remove the front plate of the stem
and then insert the handlebars into the stem. Center the handlebars making sure that the thumb throttle is on
the left side of the bike. Reattach the front plate and secure using the (4) bolts. Prior to tightening, adjust the
angle of the handlebars that is preferred for the operator. Completely tighten the (4) bolts. In most cases, the
brake levers should be angled approximately 45 degrees downward.
3. The display screen can easily be rotated by hand for proper alignment with the operator’s field of view. To
tighten (if desired), use a 2.5mm Allen wrench (not included).

7
3.) Front tire installation:
1. If present, remove the protective plastic spacer from the dropouts of the front fork.
2. Locate the front tire. Unscrew the axle nuts and washers until they reach the end of the threads. (See photo
below). Take note of the lock washer tabs and make sure they are oriented in the down position when installing
into the front dropouts.
3. Remove the plastic insert from between the front brake pads. (NOTE: DO NOT SQUEEZE the front brake lever.
Doing so will cause the brake pads and pistons to overextend and they will not retract to their original position).
4. Carefully position the front wheel in the front fork and the front brake rotor between the brake pads. Tighten
the axle nut on either side of the axle equally. Torque the axle nuts to 35-40 Nm or 25-29.5 ft-lbs.
5. Plug in the front motor cable into the wire on the right side of the front fork. Put wire into the wire brackets and
tighten the screws.
6. Align the front tire with the handlebars and tighten the stem bolts.
WARNING: An improperly secured front or rear wheel can cause loss of control, accidents, serious injury, or
death. Check that both wheels are properly secured during assembly before each ride.
4.) Pedal Installation:
1. Locate the pedals from the accessory/tool kit box. The pedals will have “L” and “R”
indicators stamped on the top of the threaded section. The “L” is for the left side of
the bike and is reverse threaded (counterclockwise to tighten). The “R” is for the
right side of the bike and is threaded normally (clockwise to tighten).
2. Using the included 15mm wrench, tighten each of the pedals into place.
5.) Front fender & headlight installation (optional):
1. Attach the front fender and headlight to the front fork using (1) long bolt, (1) nut, and (2) washers from the
hardware bag.
2. Locate the hole in the middle of the front fork bracket. Line up that hole with the front fender installation
bracket. Place the front headlight directly behind the front fork bracket. Install (1) long bolt and (1) washer
through the holes and then add (1) washer and (1) nut behind the light. Tighten using 10mm wrench and 5mm
Allen wrench.

8
3. Plug the light into the matching red receptacle in the wire bundle. (NOTE: Be careful not to bend the wire
prongs inside of the plugs.)
6.) Rear fender & rack installation (optional):
1. Attach the rear racking using (4) long bolts, (8) washers, and (4) nuts. Align the rack with the (4) rack brackets
on the frame. Insert the bolt and washer into each of the holes and thread the washer and nut on the other
side. Hand tighten. It is best to keep these loose until all (4) rack bolts and (2) fender bolts have been installed.
2. Attach the rear fender to the frame (hole is located on the bracket between the top (2) rack brackets) using the
(2) smaller bolts. The thinner bolt and wide washer will be used to secure the fender to the frame. The
remaining small bolt, (2) washers, and (1) nut will be used to install the fender to the rear rack. (See photos
below.)
3. Once all rack bolts and fender bolts are installed, tighten them down evenly (adjusting the alignment of the rack
and fender as needed).
7.) Brake pad & rotor adjustment (if applicable):
If there is audible rubbing between the brake pads and the brake rotor, it may be necessary to adjust the front and rear
brake housing after installation and repeated use.
1. Loosen the top and bottom bolts of the brake housing. DO NOT completely remove the bolts. Once loose,
center the brake rotor between the brake pads. Tighten the top and bottom housing bolt being careful not to
move the brake housing. Spin the tire to listen for rubbing. Make small adjustments to the housing, as needed,
to eliminate rubbing.

8.) Adjusting the seatpost:
The seat will come installed in the bike. However, that position is likely not appropriate for all riders. It may be
necessary to adjust the seat height and position to ensure safe, comfortable, and efficient riding.
1. To adjust the seat height up or down, loosen the quick release lever that is securing the seat post. Adjust to the
desired height of the rider then tighten the quick release lever.
DANGER: Make sure you do not overextend the post. Overextending the seatpost can cause it to
break or fall off your bike, which will put you at 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.
2. The operator may need to adjust the horizontal seat position and pitch of the seat. Under the seat, you can
loosen seat adjustment bolt (using a 6mm Allen wrench) and put into the proper position. Once in the ideal
position, tighten to 15 Nm.
WARNING: Make sure the bolt is secured for safe riding.
9.) Inflating the tires:
Proper tire inflation and care can help prolong the life of the tires. Check the tires and tread before every use. Check
the tire pressure before every use and make sure it does not exceed the maximum pressure printed on the tire sidewall.
1. The range for tire pressures is from 10-30 psi.
a. 10 psi: This is the lowest pressure the tire is rated for.
b. 10-15 psi: This is the recommended pressure for very soft sand and snow.
c. 15-25 psi: This is the recommended range for most off-road riding, depending on your preferences and
the specific terrain.
d. 25-30 psi: This is the recommended pressure for pavement or smooth, hard surfaces
WARNING: Underinflating your tires can result in loss of control. Overinflating can make the tires
burst. Either scenario can lead to serious injury or death. Always maintain the correct air pressure of your tires,
which is listed on the tire’s side-wall, and use a regulated air source with pressure gauge so you can measure
pressure accurately.

10
10.) Torque specifications:
Before your first ride, verify that all fasteners, nuts, and bolts are torqued to the proper specifications outlined
below.
WARNING: Failure to ensure proper
