3. Setup and Assembly

The Himiway B3 comes largely pre-assembled. Follow these steps for initial setup:

1. Unfolding the Bike: Carefully unfold the frame, ensuring all locking mechanisms are securely engaged.
2. Handlebar Adjustment: Adjust the handlebar height and angle for a comfortable riding position. Ensure the stem is securely locked.
3. Seat Adjustment: Adjust the seat post height so your feet can comfortably touch the ground when stopped, and your legs have a slight bend at the knee when pedaling. Secure the quick-release lever.
4. Battery Installation & Charging: Insert the 48V 15Ah removable battery into its compartment. Connect the charger to the battery port and a power outlet. Charge fully before first use (approximately 4-6 hours).
5. Tire Inflation: Inflate tires to the recommended pressure (check sidewall of the tire for details). The 20"x2.5" commuter tires are designed for various terrains.
6. Brake Check: Test both front and rear brakes to ensure they engage smoothly and effectively.
