Safety Information
Your safety is paramount. Always adhere to the following guidelines:
- Helmet Use: Always wear a certified bicycle helmet when riding.
- Pre-Ride Check: Before each ride, inspect brakes, tires, battery, and all fasteners to ensure they are secure and functioning correctly.
- Braking: Familiarize yourself with the front and rear disc brakes. Practice braking in a safe area to understand their response. Avoid sudden, hard braking, especially with the front brake, which can cause loss of control.
- Battery Care: Do not expose the battery to extreme temperatures or moisture. Use only the provided charger. Never fully deplete the battery; charge it regularly.
- Traffic Laws: Obey all local traffic laws and regulations. Use appropriate hand signals.
- Visibility: Ride defensively. Use lights and reflective gear, especially during low-light conditions.
- Weight Limit: Do not exceed the maximum load capacity of 265 lbs (120 kg).
Setup and Assembly
Your ANCHEER electric bike arrives approximately 85% pre-assembled. The remaining assembly typically involves attaching the front wheel, handlebars, pedals, and seat. Basic tools are usually included. For detailed visual guidance, refer to the assembly video available on the product page where you purchased the bike.
Assembly Steps:
- Unpacking: Carefully remove all components from the packaging.
- Handlebar Installation: Attach the handlebars to the stem, ensuring they are centered and tightened securely.
- Front Wheel Installation: Install the front wheel. Ensure the disc brake rotor is correctly seated between the brake pads. Do not squeeze the brake lever until the wheel is fully installed. Verify the quick-release lever is on the correct side and securely fastened.
- Pedal Installation: Identify the left (L) and right (R) pedals. Thread them into the crank arms. Note that the left pedal has a reverse thread. Tighten firmly.
- Seat Post and Saddle: Insert the seat post into the frame and adjust the saddle height for comfortable riding. Secure the quick-release clamp.
- Battery Installation: Insert the removable battery into its designated slot on the frame and lock it securely.
- Final Checks: Double-check all bolts and fasteners for tightness. Ensure brake levers and shifters are in comfortable positions.

Operating Instructions
Powering On/Off:
To power on the electric system, press and hold the power button on the LCD display. Repeat to power off.
Battery and Motor:
Your bike is equipped with a removable 48V/374.4Wh lithium-ion battery and a 500W brushless geared motor. The battery provides power for the electric assist modes.

Riding Modes:
The bike offers two primary electric riding modes:
- Pedal Assist System (PAS): This mode provides electric assistance as you pedal. There are 5 levels of pedal assist (1-5) which can be adjusted via the LCD display. Level 1 provides minimal assistance, while Level 5 provides maximum assistance.
- Throttle Mode: The twist throttle allows you to engage the motor without pedaling. This is considered Level 0 assistance. You can switch between pedal assist and throttle mode at any time during your ride.

LCD Display:
The LCD display provides crucial ride information:
- Battery Level: Indicates the remaining battery charge.
- Pedal Assist Level: Shows the current PAS level (1-5).
- Speed Display: Displays current speed in MPH or KMH.
- Mileage: Tracks trip distance and total odometer readings.

Gears:
The bike features a 21-speed transmission system. Use the shifters on the handlebars to select appropriate gears for varying terrain and speed requirements. Shift smoothly to avoid strain on the drivetrain.
Brakes:
The ANCHEER electric bike is equipped with front and rear disc brakes for reliable stopping power. Ensure brake levers are easily accessible and provide firm, consistent braking. Regularly check brake pads for wear.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your electric bike.
- Cleaning: Clean your bike regularly with a damp cloth. Avoid high-pressure washing directly on electrical components.
- Battery Care: Charge the battery after each ride, or at least once a month if not in use, to maintain its health. Avoid completely draining the battery. Store the battery in a cool, dry place.
- Tire Pressure: Check tire pressure before each ride. Maintain pressure within the range indicated on the tire sidewall.
- Chain Lubrication: Lubricate the chain regularly, especially after riding in wet conditions, to ensure smooth shifting and prevent rust.
- Brake Inspection: Periodically check brake pads for wear and replace them when necessary. Ensure brake cables are not frayed and disc rotors are clean.
- Fastener Check: Regularly inspect all bolts, nuts, and quick releases for tightness.
- Electrical Connectors: The bike features waterproof connectors for electrical accessories, simplifying replacement if needed. If a component requires replacement, it can often be done at the connector without accessing the main controller.
