The e-bike is intended only for riding on paved roads and trails. Do not use it for off-road purposes.

During riding, you should note that the e-bike covers 5 meters per second at a medium speed of
about 18 kilometers per hour in fine dry weather conditions. Keep sufficient distance from other
road users to ensure you can stop safely in case of an emergency and always consider the current
weather and road conditions.

Section 2 - Assembly Instructions
If you have purchased your new e-bike online and had it delivered, you will need to carry out some
minor assembly before your e-bike can be ridden. If you have purchased an assembled e-bike
please continue reading from Section 3 on page 12.
Please follow these instructions carefully to ensure your new e-bike is correctly assembled for safe
operation.
If you are unsure of anything and require further assistance please call Dyson Bikes on
0497 357 117 and we will be happy to talk you through the procedure.
Alternately you may wish to have your e-bike assembled by a trained e-bike mechanic.
Step 1.
Remove e-bike from outer carton and remove packaging material from frame taking care not to
mark or scratch your new e-bike.
Step 2.
Locate included tools, namely 3, 4, 5, 6-mm Allen Keys and 8, 10, 13, 15-mm spanners.
Step 3.
To fit the handlebar to your e-bike, remove the small black rubber cap and hex bolt with the 5mm
Allen Key, then remove the ring spacers and set aside, (refer images on the following page). Please
take care that the controls will not interfere with the correct operation of other components, or
cables.
Now fit two thin rings followed by the head stem, then the last thin ring to the top of the fork. Take
the black cap and hex bolt previously removed and refit. Check that the lower bearing is seated
correctly and tighten, (taking care not to over tighten) it is right when the handlebars turn freely and
there is no free play. Check by holding the front brake on and moving the bike back and forth.
Check for correct alignment of the front wheel in relation to the handlebars, they should be at right
angles. Now tighten the two locking hex bolts to 7~10NM, take care not to over tighten.
2014 Dyson Bikes page 10
More information regarding handlebar adjustment can be found on page 14.
Step 4.
Locate pedals and use 15-mm spanner to attach to crank arms
as shown in the image shown here.
Note that the pedals are marked „L‟ for left and „R‟ for right. The
Left pedal has a left hand thread and needs to be tightened in
an anti-clockwise direction; the right hand pedal tightens in a
regular clockwise direction.
Screw into the crank carefully using your fingers, then tighten
firmly with the 15-mm spanner. We recommend a torque
wrench be used to tighten to ≥35Nm.
2014 Dyson Bikes page 11
Step 5.
Charging the battery. The battery is held into the
frame with a keyed lock, two keys are supplied
with your e-bike.
We highly recommend that you keep one key in a
safe and secure location in the event the main key
is lost.
Locate the battery charger and plug into a regular
240-Volt wall socket, the other small plug can then
be inserted into the battery as shown below. The
LED light on the charger will glow red to indicate
charging is in progress.
Charging can take place with the battery in the frame, or you can remove and charge separately.
Once fully charged the LED indicator light on the Charger will be green.
Make sure the battery is fully charged before the first ride and charge again for at least 6-hours
after.
Further notes on battery care can be found under Section 4.2 Battery and Charger.
Step 6.
Your e-bike is now assembled, but it is not quite ready for the first ride. Please continue to read
through this manual paying particular attention to Section 3 ensuring that all bolts screws etc. are
firmly tightened to the recommended specification.
