DANGER!
Do not ride your Pantera if it has not passed 100% safety checks before each ride, as described in the section called
PRE-RIDE SAFETY CHECK
Page 10

6.1 OPEN THE BOX
Make sure to open the box in the right way.
Follow the direction of the arrow on the side of the box.
The mounting process requires around 30 minutes. Work in a dry place and in a clean area. Avoid any wet surface.
Use a cutter to open the top of the box. Before pulling out the bike, cut with a cutter or a pair of scissors the nylon
cable tie, that connects the front tire to the frame. Take the front wheel out of the box and set it aside. Make sure not
to hurt any surface with the front disc brake. Any damage to the disc will cause assembly problems and potential
safety issues. We suggest to lay the front wheel on a soft rag.
Now carefully take out Pantera from the box. The weight of the bike is 31Kg so if you need a help, ask a friend to give
you a hand. Once the bicycle is out, gently put the bike on the ground. The front wheel is not mounted yet, so in order
to avoid any problems lay the front fork bottom on a soft surface.
Page 11

6.2 TAKE OUT THE COMPONENTS
Once your Pantera is out of the box, take out all remaining components:
1 x saddle (Including screws)
1 x Box with side reflectors, battery charger, and 2 keys
1 x Box with tools to mount your Pantera (see section no.4 of this manual)
1 x Box with front headlight and headlight brackets
6.3 PLACE THE E-BIKE
The required tool for this operation is a cable cutter.
As mentioned in point 6.1, Pantera should be located on a flat surface with a soft material under the front forks. Once it's done,
it's time to remove all the plastic foam from the bike. Please consider to avoid wasting the boxes and all the foam, because, in
case of return, it will be much easier to pack the bike again and send it back..
Please pay attention when you cut the nylon cable ties as they can be hard to cut. We recommend to use a cable
cutter. The use of scissors or knives is highly risky, as in case of a missed cut the knife could get out of control, causing
damage to you and/or people near you.

6.4 BATTERY REMOVAL
To remove the battery please follow these simple instructions:
1) Use the supplied key and insert it on the left side if the bike.
2) Turn the key clockwise and pull the battery towards you.
3) Carefully put the battery aside.
As mentioned in section no.5, we recommend you to remove the battery from your e-bike, before you start the assembly.

6.5 HANDLE BAR INSTALLATION
Please follow these steps:
1) Use the 5mm hex wrench to remove the bolts of the handlebar clamp.
2) Once the clamp is open, place the lower crossbar of the handlebar in
3) Loosely tighten the handlebar clamp with the 5 mm hex wrench, and adjust the angle of the handlebar to rider's comfort.
Mounting the handlebar is very easy, but you must pay much attention. A screw that is not tightened properly and
left loose can cause serious problems while driving. Be sure to pay close attention when detailing the screws.
4) Cross tighten the handlebar clamp from corner to corner, making sure the clamp is tight and evenly placed and handlebars
do not move.
Page 14

6.6 FRONT TIRE
Place protectors under points A and B to protect these parts
against bump and scratches, then follow the steps below:
2) REMOVE THE BRAKE CALIPER PLASTIC RETAINER. Unlock the
brake caliper by partially unscrewing (just 2 turns) both M6 Allen
screws in the caliper mount, to allow the easy slide of the
disk while inserting the wheel.
In order to mount the front tire we strongly suggest you to turn your
Pantera upside down, as shown in picture.
1) Take out the nut and the retaining washer from both sides of
the wheel, and keep the spacer in place
Page 15

Pay attention not to scratch the front fork paint.
4. Put the retaining washer and the nut on each side of the
front wheel axle.
3) Slide the wheel into the fork. The front wheel has 2 washers, 2
spacers and 2 bolts. Put aside the nut and slide into the from axle,
1 spacer on each side.
5. Use the 2 x 15mm wrench key supplied in the box (20.3NM)
to lock the front tire

Required tools for this operations: 1 Allen key 5mm and 2 wrench keys 15mm
Make sure to follow the instructions step by step and to tight the front wheel at the end.
both M6 Allen screws in the caliper mount, while pulling the brake lever. When the screws are tightened, you can release the
brake lever. Check the correct operation of the braking system, at the end of this procedure.
If you don't feel comfortable in doing this operation, please consider the help of a
professional mechanic specialized in electric bicycles
6. Lock again the brake caliper. For this operation, pull the brake lever until the caliper is pressing the disk (braking), tighten
Page 17

6.7 TIRE INFLATION
The e-bike now is in a good position to inflate the tires.
DO NOT TRY to inflate the tires more than 35PSI.
In case of too high pressure the tires may burst.
For transport purposes, tires are packed partially inflated.
Tires must be inflated using a pump with a Schrader valve tip to a
recommended 20-25 psi (1.4-1.7 bar).
2. Once the tire is properly seated, deflate it to a recommended
20-25 psi (1.4-1.7 bar). Ideal tires pressure slightly varies, based on
the weight of rider and type of terrain.
1. Inflate the tube to a maximum pressure of 35 PSI (2,4bar) to
ensure the tire is properly seated in the rim.
Page 18

6.8 SADDLE
For safety reasons the saddle in not mounted on the bike.
Turn the bicycle back in the standard position.
The saddle must be fixed to the frame with 7 Allen screws:
- 1 x 5x50mm (Longer front screw)
- 6 x 5x30mm
Please follow the steps below:
1) Place the saddle on top of the frame
2) Tighten the Allen screws loosely one at a time.
3) Once all the Allen screws have been placed, screw them tightly
DO NOT TIGHTEN all the Allen screws
very hard at this point!

6.9 PEDALS
Install and tighten the pedals, using the 15mm open wrench supplied in the box. Look for a letter marking “L” and “R” on each
respective pedal and make sure you install the left pedal on the left crank and the right pedal on the right crank.

The right pedal is screwed on in a clockwise direction.
The left pedal is screwed on in a counter-clockwise direction.
