Introduction
Welcome to the Voladors Folding Electric Bike user manual. This guide provides essential information for the safe and efficient operation, maintenance, and care of your new e-bike. The Voladors Folding Electric Bike is designed for urban commuting and travel, offering a lightweight, compact, and portable solution for adults seeking an efficient and versatile mode of transportation.
Key features include a 350W brushless motor, a 36V 7Ah battery, 7-speed gear system, and dual disc brakes. Its foldable design makes it easy to store and transport.
Setup and Assembly
Your Voladors Folding Electric Bike comes 95% pre-assembled. Minor assembly is required, primarily attaching the fenders and performing initial checks.
Unfolding the Bike
Carefully remove the bike from its packaging. Locate the main folding hinge on the frame. Release the safety latch and unfold the frame until it locks into place. Secure the handlebar stem in its upright position and adjust the seatpost to your desired height. Ensure all quick-release levers are securely fastened before riding.

Folding for Storage or Transport
To fold the bike, first lower the seatpost and handlebar stem. Release the main frame hinge latch and carefully fold the bike in half. The updated folding direction enhances compactness and stability for storage in small spaces or vehicle trunks.

Operating the Electric Bike
The Voladors e-bike offers three distinct riding modes for versatile use:
- Throttle-Only Mode: Provides effortless cruising without pedaling.
- 5-Level Pedal Assist Mode (PAS): Combines your pedaling effort with electric assistance, offering a mix of exercise and support.
- Pedal-Only Mode: Ride the bike like a traditional bicycle without any electric power.
The 350W brushless motor allows the bike to reach speeds up to 20 MPH (Class 2 e-bike). The 36V 7Ah battery provides a range of up to 32 miles per charge, suitable for daily commutes.

Maintenance and Care
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your e-bike.
- Fenders: The bike is equipped with durable steel fenders. While sturdy, be aware that scratches may lead to rust over time. Regular cleaning and protective coatings can help prevent this.
- Chain and Drivetrain: The Shimano 7-speed gear system provides smooth shifts. Keep the chain clean and lubricated. Note that there is no chainring guide on one side, so ensure the chain remains properly seated.
- Derailleur: The rear derailleur is an entry-level Shimano Tourney. Be cautious of curbs or obstacles that could snag or damage it, as this may affect motor function.
- Battery: The seatpost-integrated battery pack (36V 7Ah with Samsung cells) can be removed for separate storage and charging. Always turn off any battery-powered accessories, such as the rear light, when not in use to conserve battery life.
- Brakes: The dual disc brakes provide reliable stopping power. If you experience squeaky brakes, consult a bike technician for adjustment or pad replacement.
Troubleshooting
For detailed troubleshooting steps, please refer to the comprehensive User Manual (PDF) available for download. Common issues may include:
- Squeaky Brakes: Often resolved by cleaning the rotors and pads or professional adjustment.
- Chain Derailment: Ensure proper chain tension and alignment.
- Battery Drain: Confirm all lights and accessories are turned off when the bike is not in use.
- Awkward Carrying (when folded): While lightweight, the folded bike does not lock in place. Consider using a carrying bag for easier transport, especially up stairs.
For complex issues or repairs, it is recommended to contact QUALISPORTS customer support or a certified e-bike technician.
