Bike Assembly:
Tools Required: 4, 5 and 6mm Allen keys, 10 and 15mm spanners
›
Remove all packaging carefully:
Select a good area to
assemble the bike. Preferably on a non abrasive surface so
you don’t damage the bike.
›
Easier with two people:
Have someone hold the bike upright
for you.
›
Handle bars:
Remove all the 4/5mm handle bar bolts and
bracket at the end of the stem, place handle bars in position
and replace the bracket and bolts, tightening with fingers
first. Once all 4 bolts are situated correctly you can tighten
with the 4/5mm Allen key but do this from corner to corner
and only a little bit at a time on each to keep the bracket
even. For example: tighten top right corner bolt first, then
bottomleft corner bolt second and so on.
›
Front wheel:
Place bike in a bike maintenance stand or turn
up side down so the bike is standing on the handlebars and
saddle but again try to do this on a non abrasive surface
to avoid damage. (remove battery first in order to lighten
and make it easier to manoeuvre the bike). Once in position
take the front wheel and the quick release skewer/axle bolt.
Undo the plastic end cap and take off one spring (leaving
one spring on). Slide the bolt through the Centre of the front
wheel until it comes out the other side, then place the spring
back on first (small end first) followed by the plastic end cap
and loosely tighten. Pick the wheel up and slide into the
slots provided on the front fork and push downwards until
it stops. Once aligned you can tighten up the skewer bolt.
(lever should point upward when fitted correctly)

Disc brake:
If not already correct adjust brake by releasing
brake cable with 5mm Allen key then adjust accordingly and
re-tighten. Spin thewheel to make sure it spins freely. You
can make minor adjustments by turning the plastic screw
located on the brake cable near the brakecalliper.
›
Pedals:
Locate pedals, separate left and right pedals
indicated by L / R print on threaded end of the pedal. Screw
in each pedal in to the crank arms with your fingers ensuring
not to cross thread them. Once located correctly, tighten
with 15mm spanner.
Note: Your wheel should fully stop once the brake lever
is depressed halfway. If it does not stop, re-adjust them
accordingly.
Getting Started and how to use your power assistance:
Once your bike has been safety checked and is ready to ride
the next step is to turn on the electric. To do this, ensure your
battery is locked on to the bike and switch the battery switch to
the on position.
Press the power button on the LED display on the handlebars.
In doing this the display should light up with red LED lights.
Once turned on the display will indicate battery life and it will
automatically select the lowest level of pedal assist. This will be
indicated by one red LED light nearest the minus sign of the
assist part of the display.
At this point if you start to ride the bike the PAS assistance will
automatically kick in and assist you whilst pedalling. (Tip: stay on
the lowest level until you become confident enough to increase
the power) You can increase the level of assistance simply by
pressing the + button, this will be indicated by the LED light
moving closer to the + sign. You can repeat this until you reach
maximum assistance. (15.5 M.P.H) To come back down the
assistance levels simply press the -button. IMPORTANT: Please be
aware that the assistance is also sensitive to how fast you pedal
and will only give you maximum assist when you are pedalling
relatively fast. (this applies in most levels selected)
To turn off the assistance so you are only using manual pedalling
either press the power button or move down through the assist
modes with the -button until the LED no longer is lit up.
On the right-hand side of the handlebars, you will find (if fitted)
a half twist grip throttle. When the bike is turned on, the throttle
is active and operates independently of pedalling, a bit like a
moped (no requirement to pedal). Please note the red isolation
button also needs to be in the depressed position for the
throttle to be on.
Simply twist the half grip throttle and it will propel the bike. It is
limited though to what level of assistance you have selected on
the PAS. (remember using the throttle will use more battery life
up quicker).
Turning the lights On/Off
To turn the lights on/off, have the power turned on for the LCD
display and simply hold down the + button for a few seconds.
Repeat in order to turn off.
IMPORTANT: When using the throttle try to avoid hill starts
and only use pedalling when the bike seems under strain to
avoid motor burnout. In not doing this it can also void your
warranty.
