Check that electrical connectors and cable housings are secured away from moving parts and are 
free from damage. Replace if necessary. 

 

Go into your local e-bike shop for a tune-up by a certified and reputable e-bike mechanic. 

 
 

Unboxing 

 

 

Getting Started 

 

Congratulations on your purchase of a new ebike! Your e-bike comes in the box 85% assembled. The instructions 
that follow are intended to serve as a guide in unboxing and getting familiar with your new e-bike. The e-bike may 
require adjustments upon being received and unboxed, as shipping can sometimes be bumpy. 

When doing your 

first adjustment and

 

inspecting the e-bike before riding we recommend seeking professional help from a 

reputable, certified bicycle mechanic.

 

 

What’s in the box: 

 

1.

 

Ebike 

 

2.

 

Charger 

 

3.

 

Multi-purpose bike tool 

 

Before removing the packaging material from the e-bike, remove all items from the box and make sure everything 
listed above is present. If anything is missing or damaged contact Freeweel immediately for assistance. 
 

INSTALLING THE FRONT WHEEL

 

 
 

DANGER: 

Your wheels must be fully seated in the fork’s dropouts and the nuts firmly

 

tightened to 

the correct torque to prevent the risk of serious injury. 

 

 
 

DANGER: 

Always check your wheels for secure and firm seating before riding. 

 

NOTE: 

If you are unsure about the correct wheel installation procedure or the required

 

torque levels, 

have your front wheel installed by a specialist bike  

 

shop. 

 
Your bicycle comes with the front wheel disassembled to achieve a smaller box footprint. Make sure you carefully 
read these instructions for a successful and safe installation. 

 

Preparation:

 

 

Unpack the front wheel and remove the nuts and washers. Get a friend to help you secure the bike whilst installing 
the front wheel. 

  

STEP 1:

 

 

Insert  the  front  wheel  axle  in  the  dropouts  of  your  fork.  Make  sure  it  is  fully  inserted  and  seated  securely 
between the two tines of your front fork. 

 

 

STEP 2:

 

 

Insert the metal washers on the outside of both sides of the wheel axle The little 
“lip” of the washer sits inside the hole of the dropout, securing it to the fork.
