2.2 Required tools
Supplied in the tool kit:
Allen key 4s, 5s, 6s (3x)
Open-end spanners 8/10, 13/15, 14/17 (3x)
Screw driver
NOT INCLUDED IN DELIVERY:
Air pump with car valve
Please bring the tyre pressure of the front and rear wheel to at least 2.8 bar with the help of an air pump
BEFORE THE FIRST RIDE.
Note: For transport reasons, we can only deliver the e-bike with very low tyre pressure. Do not ride without rst
inating the tyres!
2.3 Installing the front wheel
Remove the black plastic covers on the left and right of the front wheel that were used to secure it for transport.
Carefully loosen the cable tie on the spoke with which your quick-release axle is attached.
Unscrew the nut of the quick release axle including a spring, put the quick release axle through the axle of the
front wheel.
Now carefully insert the front wheel between the legs of the suspension fork. Pay attention to the direction of
the wheel. The brake disc must be on the side of the brake caliper. Carefully insert the disc into the brake calliper
parallel to the wheel in that manner that no damage to the brake or brake disc is inicted.

9
When everything is set correctly, slide the spring back onto the axle and carefully screw the grip nut onto your
front axle until the quick release can be ipped over hand-tight, thus holding the wheel rmly in the mount.
Now let the wheel turn by hand and check that it sits and runs correctly. Check and test the front brake. The ins-
tructions for adjusting the brakes can be found under section 2.5. If everything works, your front wheel should
now be correctly mounted.
2.3 Fitting the handle bar
Fig.1 Fig. 2 Fig. 3
Now you shave to mount the handlebar and then readjust the steering head bearing. First loosen the four bolts
of the stem (Fig.1).
NOTE: The stem is designed differently on some versions.
Now place the handlebars in the stem shell (please note the direction and run of the cables and Bowden cables)
and screw the stem back on as shown in Fig. 2. Before doing so, align the handlebar centrally with the stem
and tighten the four hexagonal bolts crosswise using the tool supplied. Tighten the bolts evenly and carefully.
ADJUSTING THE TILT OF THE HANDLEBAR: First loosen the clamping spindle screws of the handlebar sleeve
(Fig. 1) with the appropriate hexagon socket spanner. Adjust the angle of inclination of the handlebar by turning
the handlebar forwards or backwards around its own axis by hand. Tighten the clamping spindle screws again.

10
2.4 Aligning the steering head bearing and stem
Note: This step may differ for your model and may not be necessary because it has already been pre-assembled.
Note: In the photos above, the handlebars have not yet been tted; this is for the sake of clarity. Please follow
the described assembly sequence.
After the handlebars have been installed, turn the stem 180 degrees so that the suspension fork and handlebars
are in the correct position. To do this, rst loosen the rubber screw cover (C) and loosen the screw underneath
(C) with the appropriate tool. Open the horizontal bolts of the stem, (A) and (B) in the illustration, so that the
steering head bearing can move freely when turning and tightening. Align the handlebars with the stem at a 90
degree angle to the suspension fork by turning it 180° (look at the cables and Bowden cables to see if they are
pointing to the left or right). The arrows (1) and (2) describe the directions of the stem and the suspension fork.
On the left pic-ture you see the delivery condition and on the right the nal alignment of the assembly. When
everything is correctly aligned, tighten the single head bolt (C) until the steering head bearing has no more slack
but can still be moved easily. Then you can tighten the two horizontal bolts of the handlebar stem once from the
left (A) and once from the right (B) until everything together forms one unit. Finally, put the rubber screw cover
(C) back on the hexagon screw.
2.5 Installing the pedals
1. Please fasten your bicycle. It is best if two people hold it so that the chain and crank can turn smoothly.
2. Take the pedals out of the packaging and sort them. „R“ stands for the right foot, the „L“ is the left foot.
3. Align the foot thread with the mounting hole on the crank, tighten the right pedal clockwise and the left pedal
anticlockwise.

11
4. Use a 15 mm open-ended spanner to lock the foot.
WARNING: Improper installation of the pedal can pose a serious safety hazard resulting in signi-cant property
damage, serious injury or death. Please check that the pedals are secure before each use.
2.6 Fitting the saddle
1. Make sure that the quick-release of the seat post is open (picture A).
2. Insert the seat post into the seat post bracket of the frame (picture B).
3. Press the quick-release lever onto the frame and close it.
Please make sure that the lever is locked (picture C). Otherwise injuries may occur
Picture A Picture B Picture C
Tip: Please adjust the nut on the opposite side of the lever to adjust the tightening force of the lever.
WARNING: Do not pull out the seat post more than the marking of the minimum insertion depth. The marking
must not be visible! Risk of breakage and accident! No warranty in case of disregard !

12
2.7 Adjusting the saddle height
1. The height of the saddle can be adjusted with the quick-release on the saddle rail. You only need to release
the quick-release lever to freely select the height of the saddle. After you have adjusted the desired height, lock
the quick-release lever again and the adjustment is complete.
2. After the adjustment, make sure that the quick-release lever of the seat post is well locked. The seat post must
not slip.
WARNING: Incorrect installation of the seat post may result in serious injury or death. It is strictly forbidden to
raise the height of the seat post above the safety line.
2.8. About the brake settings
If you are not satised with your brakes, please contact your dealer and ask for the intervention of a professional
technician.
2.9 Note on chain tension
Not after the rst few rides, but after a certain period of use, the chain may be worn out due to transmission
strength and can be properly adjusted by using a tensioning screw to hold the chain in place. The chain should
be set on the smallest tooth of the ywheel. Turn the rear transmission tensioning screw (see g. A) clockwise
with a screwdriver. The chain should not sag. Also make sure that the chain is sufciently greased and clean.
2.10 Lighting and bell
NOTE: If front and rear lights and bell are included in the accessory pack, they must yet be tted.
Rear light
You will nd the battery-powered rear light in the accessory box. Attach it to the seat post below the saddle using
the screwdriver provided. If the clamp of the rear light mount is too loose, use the rubber strip provided. Before
