Safety Information
Always prioritize safety when operating your electric bike. Failure to follow safety guidelines can result in serious injury or damage to the product.

Setup and Assembly
Your Heybike Ranger 3.0 Pro arrives approximately 80% pre-assembled. The following steps outline the final assembly and initial setup procedures.
1. Unfolding the Bike
Carefully remove the bike from its packaging. Locate the folding mechanism on the frame and handlebar stem. Release the safety latches and unfold the frame and stem until they lock into place. Ensure all quick-release levers are securely tightened.

- Pedal Assist System (PAS): Provides motor assistance as you pedal. Adjust the assist level on the display or via the app.

3. Gear Shifting
The bike is equipped with a Shimano 8-speed gear system. Use the shifter on the handlebar to change gears, allowing you to adapt to different terrains and riding conditions for optimal pedaling efficiency.
4. Braking System
The Heybike Ranger 3.0 Pro features upgraded dual hydraulic disc brakes with 2.3mm thickened rotors. These provide responsive and powerful stopping power. Always apply both front and rear brakes simultaneously for balanced and effective deceleration. Avoid sudden, hard braking, especially at high speeds.

5. Suspension System
The dual suspension system, including a 65mm hydraulic front fork and adjustable rear air shock, absorbs shocks and vibrations from uneven surfaces. This enhances comfort and control across various terrains. The front fork may feature a lockout mechanism for more efficient pedaling on smooth roads.

Maintenance
Regular maintenance is crucial for the longevity and safe operation of your Heybike Ranger 3.0 Pro.
- 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. The IP65 rating provides water and dust protection, but avoid submerging it.
- Tires:
- Check tire pressure before each ride. Refer to the tire sidewall for recommended pressure.
- Inspect tires for wear, cuts, or punctures.
- Brakes:
- Regularly check brake pads for wear and replace as needed.
- Ensure brake levers are firm and responsive. If they feel spongy, the hydraulic system may need bleeding by a qualified technician.
- Chain and Drivetrain:
- Keep the chain clean and lubricated.
- Check for proper gear shifting and adjust if necessary.
- General Cleaning:
- Clean the bike with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid high-pressure washing directly on electrical components.
- Dry the bike thoroughly after cleaning.
