PRODUCT SAFETY NOTICE
The SWAGTRON® EB-5 E-Bike has been designed with the utmost safety in mind for its riders. Extra
precautions have been taken to protect the user from product hardware malfunctions through our
meticulous design and engineering.
However, like any mode of transportation, the SWAGTRON® EB-5 E-Bike has inherent hazards associated
with its use (e.g.: losing control, falling off, or riding into a hazardous situation). Please read and be sure

E-Bike.
Before each ride, especially if you may travel a long distance, inspect your bike. First, check the tires for
proper inflation and cracks on the walls of the tires. Keeping the tires properly inflated and maintained
will help prevent flats and damage. Second, check all cables and cable housings for fraying, breaks, rust,
or corrosion and replace if necessary. Lastly, inspect the brakes to make sure they are working properly.
Additionally, check the brake pads for any damage as they will wear over time and eventually need
replacement.
If a replacement of the brake pads or any other part is needed, please contact customer support for
replacement service. In general, it is recommended to make sure all nuts and bolts are taut and properly
fastened to prevent injury and unnecessary wear and tear on your E-Bike.

2.6 Adjusting Handlebar Height
For more comfortable riding, handlebar height may be adjusted.
NOTE: Typically, handlebar height and seat height should be the same.
Open the clamp on the head tube (fig. 10). Pull up or push down the stem to adjust the
height, then close the latch to secure the tube and handlebars.
2.7 Adjusting Seat Height
For better pedaling, safety, and overall comfort, positioning the seat at the right
height is key. The rider’s leg length is used to determine the seat’s position.
During pedaling, your hips should remain level while your legs shouldn’t suffer
strain from over-extension. To determine the right seat height, sit on the
E-Bike with one pedal at its lowest point and place the ball of your foot on the
pedal. If your knee bends slightly at this position, the seat is at the right height.
Additionally, when placing your heel on the pedal, your leg should be nearly
straight.
First, open the clamp under the seat post. Pull the seat up or push it down to
adjust height. Check to make sure the seat post is fully inserted into the frame and
the head of the seat is parallel with the frame. Lastly, close the clamp to secure the seat in place (fig. 11).
