To Prepare

We recommend that you familiarise yourself
with the bike parts before assembling. Gather all
required tools. Be sure to work in a clean, dry space
with plenty of room. You might wish to lay down a
tarpaulin or old blanket to protect the bike during
assembly. You may find it helpful to stand the bike
frame on a block or sturdy box under the battery
housing to work with it in an upright position.
Please watch the balance when installing wheels.

1. Unpack

a. Carefully lift the electric bike out from the carton

(two people recommended for this task). Cut the
nylon zip ties with suitable scissors and remove the
foam protection from the bike.

b. Unfold the main frame until the hinge joint is fully
closed and lock it by pushing alloy lock lever until
it clamps against the frame. Then rotate the plastic
secondary lock down into the alloy lock lever.

The Vista electric bike is shipped folded inside the
carton and 95% assembled. Follow these steps to get it
ready and safe for you to ride.

these steps to get it ready and safe for you to ride.

2. Assembly Instructions

Do not activate the brakes until the bike is
fully assembled. Squeezing brake levers
while calipers have no disc rotor between
them can damage the brakes.

2. Fork

a. 3. Insert the handle bar stem into the steering

tube, turn it to align it with the forks correctly, then
fasten the centre screw using the 5mm allen key to
18-20N.M. This is a quill type stem that if set too
high can cause damage to your bicycle, decrease
your control and cause you to fall. Make sure the
Minimum-insertion mark is within the frame.

b. Loosen the handle bar angle adjusting bolt
(at the pivot point of your adjustable stem) two
or three turns then adjust the stem angle to the
position comfortable for you. Then loosen the 2
handlebar clamp bolts and rotate the handlebar to
make sure the brake lever and lcd display positions
are at the correct angle, then fasten the two bolts to
17-20N.M. Finally fasten the angle adjusting bolt to
17-20N.M

with a 5mm allen key and 10mm spanner. Then
fasten the two mudguard stays to the forks.

7. Front wheel

Carefully insert the front wheel axle into the front
fork dropout, guiding the disc rotor in between the
disc brake calipers as you do so. Note: you may
prefer to position the bike upside down for this
procedure – but be careful to stabilise the bike if
you do so. Important: make sure the anti-turning
washers are positioned between the motor washer
and the inner side of the fork. Please refer to the
adjacent pictures. Once the axle is fully inserted
and resting on the tops of the dropout (wheel
is correctly aligned inside forks) use the 15mm
spanner to fasten the nut to 70N.M

Important: you must recheck the torque setting
of the motor axle nuts after the first week of use,
then every 3 months after that to ensure correct
tightness. If loose, the motor axle can spin and
break the dropout and cause serious injury.
