   Locate the folding latch on the main frame. Release the latch and carefully unfold the bike until the frame is fully extended. Securely lock the latch in place. Ensure the safety pin is engaged.
3. Handlebar Installation: Insert the handlebar stem into the fork tube and tighten the quick-release lever or bolts as instructed. Adjust the handlebar height to a comfortable position.
4. Pedal Attachment: Identify the left (L) and right (R) pedals. Thread the pedals into the crank arms by hand, then tighten securely with a wrench. Note that the left pedal is reverse-threaded.
5. Seat Post Adjustment: Insert the seat post into the frame. Adjust the seat height for comfortable pedaling, ensuring your leg has a slight bend at the bottom of the pedal stroke. Secure with the quick-release lever.
6. Initial Battery Charge: Before the first ride, fully charge the battery. Connect the charger to the battery and then to a power outlet. The indicator light on the charger will change when fully charged.
7. Tire Inflation: Inflate tires to the recommended pressure, typically found on the tire sidewall.

• To Power On: Press and hold the power button on the LCD display for a few seconds. The display will illuminate.
• To Power Off: Press and hold the power button again until the display turns off.

4.2 Riding Modes

Your e-bike offers multiple riding modes:

• Pedal Assist Mode (PAS): Provides motor assistance while you pedal. Use the '+' and '-' buttons on the display to adjust the assist level (typically 1-5). Higher levels provide more assistance.
• Full Electric Mode (Throttle): Use the thumb throttle to engage the motor without pedaling. This mode consumes battery power more quickly.
• Manual Mode: Ride the bike like a traditional bicycle without any motor assistance.

4.3 Gear Shifting

The 7-speed gear system allows you to adjust your pedaling effort to match terrain and speed. Use the shifter on the handlebar to change gears. Shift to a lower gear for climbing hills and a higher gear for flat terrain or downhill riding.

4.4 Braking

The Wildeway FW11 is equipped with mechanical disc brakes on both the front and rear wheels. Apply both brake levers simultaneously for effective and controlled stopping. Avoid sudden, hard braking, especially at high speeds or on loose surfaces.

5. 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.
  • Avoid fully discharging the battery.
  • Store the battery in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
  • Use only the original charger provided with the bike.
• Tire Pressure: Check tire pressure before each ride. Maintain pressure within the range specified on the tire sidewall (e.g., 20-30 PSI for fat tires).
• Brake Inspection: Regularly check brake pads for wear and ensure brake levers provide firm and responsive stopping power. Adjust or replace as needed.
• Chain Lubrication: Keep the chain clean and lubricated to ensure smooth shifting and prevent rust.
• Fastener Checks: Periodically inspect all bolts, nuts, and quick-release levers to ensure they are securely tightened.
• Cleaning: Clean the bike with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid using high-pressure washers directly on electrical components.
