Component Assembly

1. Handlebar Installation: Attach the handlebar to the stem and secure it firmly. Ensure the brake levers and shifter are in comfortable positions.
2. Pedal Attachment: Identify the left (L) and right (R) pedals. Thread them into the crank arms carefully. Note that the left pedal has a reverse thread.
3. Front Wheel (if detached): Secure the front wheel into the fork dropouts. Ensure the quick-release skewer or axle nuts are tightened correctly.
4. Fender and Rack Installation: Attach the front and rear fenders, and the rear rack, using the provided hardware.

Battery Installation and Charging

The 48V 17.5Ah lithium battery is removable for convenient charging. Locate the battery compartment, typically integrated into the frame. Insert the battery and lock it into place with the key. For initial use, fully charge the battery for 5-6 hours using the provided charger. The charger's indicator light will change when charging is complete.

Adjustments

• Seat Height: Adjust the seat post to a height that allows for a slight bend in your knee when the pedal is at its lowest point. The minimum seat height is 34.2 inches (86.9 cm).
• Handlebar Height: Adjust the handlebar height for a comfortable riding posture.
• Tire Pressure: Ensure tires are inflated to the recommended pressure, typically found on the tire sidewall. The 26 x 4.0 inch fat tires provide excellent traction and shock absorption.

Pedal Assist Modes and Throttle

The R5pro offers multiple riding modes:

• Pedal Assist (PAS): The motor provides assistance as you pedal. Adjust the assist level using the controls on the handlebar. Higher levels provide more power.

• Manual (Pedal Only): Ride the bike like a traditional bicycle with no motor assistance.

Gear Shifting

The e-bike is equipped with an 8-speed Shimano gear system. Use the shifter on the handlebar to change gears. Shift to lower gears for climbing hills and higher gears for flat terrain or downhill riding. Shift gears smoothly to avoid strain on the drivetrain.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your e-bike.

• Battery Care:
  • Charge the battery regularly, even if not in use, to maintain its health.
  • Store the battery in a cool, dry place.
  • Avoid fully discharging the battery frequently.

• Chain Lubrication: Keep the chain clean and lubricated to ensure smooth gear changes and prevent wear.

• Fastener Checks: Periodically check all bolts, nuts, and quick-release levers for tightness.
