INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

How to install the bicycle out of the box

1. Unpack the bicycle from the box and cut all the ties that held the bicycle together during

shipping.

2. Turn the front fork/suspension 180 degrees. If the fork cannot turn, loosen the screws holding
the handlebar stem and then turn the fork. Tighten the handlebar stem back after turning the
fork forward; such that the stem will protrude forward.

3. Install the handle bar onto the handlebar stem. An Allen key is supplied to install the handle
bar.

4. Remove the battery from the rack, so that it is easier to turn the bicycle upside down to install
the front wheel. To remove the battery, insert the keys into the lock and turn the key to unlatch
the battery. While the key is turned, gently slide the battery from the holder.

5. ! WARNING: Please make sure that the saddle and the handle bar are installed properly
before turning the bicycle upside down to install the front wheel. Ensure the weight of the bike
does not bend the rear mudguard.

6. Turn the bicycle upside down such that the fork is facing upward.

7. Check the pattern of the tire such that when installed they will match the direction of the rear

tires.

8. Install the front wheel by placing the wheel between the forks. Place the wheel past the front v-

brake. Lock in the axle by tightening the nuts on both sides with equal tightness.

suspension fork.

10.Turn the bicycle back around on its wheels, and lower the kick-stand.

11. The rear LED reflector batteries are already installed, while the front LED light batteries are

supplied. Install the Front LED onto the handlebar of your bike.

12.Install the pedals to the bike. Each of the pedals has a letter indicating which side it needs to
be installed to. R=Right and L=Left. Install them using the provided wrench.

13.Install the white front reflector behind the front Fork / Suspension fork arc of your bike. Install
the front mudguard hanger onto the same screw.

14.Install the mudguard stays against the bracket provided on the fork/suspension. Place the
stays between the clip brackets and tighten the screw against the suspension fork.

15.Place the small black plastic cover over the stem screw of the bike.

16.! WARNING: Before riding the bicycle ensure the main Li-on battery is properly installed and

locked in before riding the bicycle. If the Battery is not firmly locked onto the rear rack, it may
slide off the rack and cause damage to the battery.

17.Insert the battery into the rear rack and lock in your battery with provided key. Ensure that the
rails are properly aligned below the battery. Ensure that the battery is locked in by lightly
tugging on the battery to ensure it will not slide out.
