Assembling Your E-Bike
1) Read all of the instructions carefully. Be familiar with the proper operation of all items. 2) This quick guide is intended to list the steps needed to assemble your bike with some mechanical
skills. It is not a complete manual or training. If you do not feel comfortable or lack some of the skills to assemble it yourself, reach out to a cyclist friend, a local bike mechanic or one of our support technicians for guidance. 3) Our QA mechanics have assembled and tested your bike beforehand. 4) To assemble your bike, work on a clean area with enough space to maneuver. 5) If installed, remove the battery from the bike to start the assembly. 6) Inspect the bike completely to be sure no damage occurred during shipping. 7) The kickstand is designed to support the bicycle only. Not the rider mounted. 8) You can adjust your saddle position and the tilt on your handlebar items for comfort. 9) Check all screws and parts are tight and properly fixed. We recommend a pre-trip inspection before your first rides.

on the LEFT side, nearest the disk brake. Keep the adjustment nut and spring on the RIGHT side. (See Figure 2) 4) Screw the skewer into the end nut until almost tight. 5) Lift the lever up until parallel with the front fork. You should feel the axle tighten into the front forks. Your front wheel is now installed.

Installing Your Pedals
1) Warning: Incorrect installation will cause damage. Please read the instructions and watch our videos if needed.
2) Identify the Left and Right markings on the pedals. They can only be installed in their respective side.
a. L is for the Left Pedal and it goes on the Left Crank Arm. b. R is for the Right pedal and it goes on the Right Crank Arm (Chain Side).

3) Sitting on your bike the pedals go on the Left and Right side respectively. 4) Keep the pedal Horizontal while hand screwing to get the thread started. Then Use your 15mm
wrench to tighten them. 5) Both pedals tighten towards the front of the bike. The left pedal is reverse threaded to allow this. 6) The pedals need to be very tight, be sure to retighten after your first couple rides.

Do not leave a charging battery unattended. Never charge a battery for more than 12 hours at a time. Failure to follow battery charging best practices could result in unnecessary wear to the charging components, battery, and or charger, and could lead to an under-performing or non-functional battery and replacement will not be covered under warranty.
Notes of Charging:
1) Charging time varies from 8 to 10 hours. 2) The small LED light on the charger in RED indicates it is in charge; The small LED light on the
charger in GREEN indicates it is fully charged. 3) Insufficient charging will not influence the battery lifecycle. AVOIDING deep discharge is helpful
to protect the battery and extend its lifecycle. 4) Pay attention to check whether the surface temperature of the battery case rises too high during
charging. It is FORBIDDEN to cover the battery during charging. 5) Due to high temperature in summer time, it is NOT advisable to charge it immediately after riding.
In winter, it is FORBIDDEN to charge the battery in environment below 0. You are recommended to charge it in room temperature. 6) If the battery will not be used for a long period, take it off from the bike and discharge its capacity to 60%-80% for stock. Disconnect it from the charger and place it in a dry, ventilated place without direct sunlight. In order to maintain a long lifecycle, it is recommended to charge the battery every two months.
