3. Setup and Initial Preparation

Your Flebi Swan 24 inch electric bike is delivered 100% assembled and ready to use. Minimal preparation is required before your first ride.

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove the bike from its packaging. Retain packaging for future transport or storage if needed.
2. Check Tire Pressure: Ensure the tires are inflated to the recommended pressure, typically found on the tire sidewall. Proper tire pressure is crucial for safety, performance, and battery range.
3. Install Pedals: The pedals may be uninstalled for shipping. Identify the left (L) and right (R) pedals. The left pedal typically tightens counter-clockwise, and the right pedal clockwise. Ensure they are securely tightened.

4. Operating Your Flebi Swan

Understanding the controls and features of your electric bike will enhance your riding experience.

4.1 Powering On/Off

Locate the power button on the EN06 LCD display. Press and hold to turn the bike's electrical system on or off.

4.2 Pedal Assistance Levels

The EN06 LCD display allows you to select from 5 levels of pedal assistance. Higher levels provide more motor power, making pedaling easier, while lower levels conserve battery life. Use the '+' and '-' buttons on the display to adjust the assistance level.

4.3 Shifting Gears

Your bike is equipped with 7 speeds. Use the gear shifter on the handlebars to change gears according to terrain and desired pedaling effort. Shift to a lower gear for uphill climbs and a higher gear for flat or downhill riding.

4.4 Braking System

The Flebi Swan features 160mm mechanical disc brakes on both the front and rear wheels. Apply both brakes simultaneously for effective and safe stopping. Avoid sudden, hard braking, especially at high speeds or on slippery surfaces.

4.5 Folding Mechanism

The bike's folding mechanism allows for compact storage and transport. The bike folds in approximately 20 seconds. Refer to the specific folding instructions (often found on a sticker on the frame or in a quick-start guide) for the correct sequence to fold and unfold the bike safely.

5. Maintenance and Care

Regular maintenance is crucial for the longevity and safe operation of your Flebi Swan electric bike.

5.1 Cleaning

• Clean the bike regularly with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid high-pressure washers, which can damage electrical components.
• Do not submerge electrical parts in water.
• Keep the charging port clean and dry.

5.2 Lubrication

• Lubricate the chain regularly with bicycle-specific chain lubricant, especially after riding in wet conditions.
• Check and lubricate other moving parts as needed, such as brake levers and derailleur pivots.

5.3 Component Checks

• Brakes: Regularly check brake pads for wear and replace them when necessary. Ensure brake levers are firm and responsive.
• Tires: Inspect tires for wear, punctures, or cracks. Maintain correct tire pressure.
• Bolts and Fasteners: Periodically check all bolts, nuts, and quick releases for tightness.
• Battery: Store the battery in a cool, dry place. If storing for extended periods, charge it to about 50-70% every few months to prevent deep discharge.
