STEP 3:

 

 

Tighten the nut and the quick release nut onto both sides of the wheel axle. When both sides are moderately tight, 
close the quick release bar to securely tighten the wheel.  If you are not sure of the correct tightness, consult a 
local bike shop  

 

 

 
 

NOTE: 

When installed correctly, the wheel should spin freely without any wobble. If this

 

is not the 

case, loosen the quick release nut, reset the axle in the drop-outs and tighten again. Make sure you 
have your brakes adjusted correctly and they are not rubbing on the wheel. 

 

 

 
INSTALLING THE PEDALS 
 

 

Attach the correct pedal to each pedal post, paying careful attention to the LEFT and RIGHT markings on 
each pedal 

 

Screw in each pedal as far a possible using your hand, then use the include wrench tool to tighten the pedal 
securely. 

 
INSTALLING THE SEAT 
 

 

Take the seat and insert the seat post into the frame.  If it does not slide in easily, loosen the quick release 
seat post clamp. 

 

Ensure your seat post is inserted past their minimum insertion point as indicated by the markings 
on it. 

Failure to insert past the minimum insertion point will place undue

 

stress on these 

components increasing the risk of sudden failure potentially resulting in harm, injury, or death.

 

 

Check to see if your seat is positioned at the proper height. Sit on the seat facing forward and place the ball 

of your foot on the pedal at its lowest point. Your leg should be mostly straight at this point with a slight 
bend at the knee. You should be able to pedal the e-bike without overextending your leg when the pedal is 
at its lowest point. Your legs may be overextended if it causes your hips to move side to side, which means 
the seat must be lowered. To start, adjust the saddle so your feet can still be placed firmly on the ground. 

 

 

To adjust your seat up or down, unlatch the seat post clamp. Move the seat to the desired 

height and close the seat post clamp.  

 

 

If you need to adjust the angle of your seat, loosen the nut on top side of the seat, move the seat to the 
desired angle, then tighten the nuts. The nut’s location is shown below. 

 

 

 

INSTALLING THE HANDLE BARS 
 

 

Unscrew the top cap using the Allen wrench included 

 

Remove the first ring from the post and set it safely aside 

 

Remove the packaging from the handle bars being careful not to scratch the console 

 

Gently slide the handle bars onto the post, so that the post is flush with the inside surface of the handle bars 

 

Replace the cap on top of the post, insert the bolt and tighten with the Allen wrench 

 

Use the Allen wrench to tighten the bolt on the handle bar to affix it firmly to the post
