About this manual

Thank you for purchasing a Leitner electric bike. We take
pride in providing electric bikes at outstanding value,
delivered to you factory direct. Riding an ebike can be
fun, however for safety reasons it is important to only
ride the bike after reading and understanding the
complete manual.

The following manual is only a basic guide to assist you
and is not a complete or comprehensive manual of all
aspects of assembling, maintaining, repairing and using
your bicycle. In the interest of safety we recommend that
you visit a local electric bike professional to assemble,
tune and regularly service the bike.

This manual makes no representation about the safe use
of this bike under all conditions. It is impossible to
predict all situations when riding a bike and there are
risks associated with riding this bike which cannot be
avoided. These risks are at the sole responsibility of the
rider.

This assembly and operation manual shall remain an
integral part of the electric bicycle. When you transfer
the electric bicycle to others, please enclose

this

manual as it contains important safety guidance and
operation instructions. Anyone riding the electric bike
shall carefully read the safety guidance and operation
instructions before your first ride.

Meaning of Safety Language.

Riding a bike can cause injury and in extreme cases death,
therefore it is important to read and understand the manual
before using the bike. The most common cause of injury is
falling off the bicycle and reading the manual will help to
avoid situations which put you at risk of injury or death.

WARNING!

Indicates the possibility of injury or death.

Caution!
