Assembly Instructions
What's in the Box
Upon opening the package, you will find:
- The Engwe X24 e-bike
- The seat post
- The toolbox
Please remove all wrapping material carefully (and recycle it). It is recommended to save the bike box and toolbox for future use.
Tools and Components
The included toolbox typically contains the following tools:
- Phillips Screwdriver
- 8-10mm Wrench

Step-by-Step Assembly
- Front Wheel Installation: Take out the front wheel. Remove the protection caps from both sides of the front wheel. Clamp the front wheel with the front fork and secure it using the front wheel screw with a wrench. Ensure the shaft sleeve is properly seated inside the front fork.
- Handlebar Installation: Dismantle any foam packaging. Rotate the display instrument to the top of the handlebar. Place the handlebar in the correct position, ensuring the "cross symbol" is centered. Use a 4mm hex key to install the four bolts, turning clockwise. Do not fully tighten them yet. Once the handlebar is correctly positioned, tighten the bolts securely.
- Headlight Installation: Take the headlight out of the carton. Align it with the designated installation position on the bike. The fixing piece should be inserted into the mounting hole. Align the screw hole and insert the screw to tighten it.
- Saddle Installation: Tighten the saddle components with screws in the indicated sequence. Push the saddle down and then forward to complete its installation.
- Seat Post and Battery: Install the seat post and battery as shown in the diagrams. The screws and gaskets should be installed according to the picture.
- Pedal Installation: Pedals are marked with "R" (Right) and "L" (Left). The R pedal attaches to the side with the belt drive, and the L pedal attaches to the other side. Manually install the left pedal by turning it counterclockwise and the right pedal by turning it clockwise. Tighten each pedal securely with a 15mm wrench.
- Tire Inflation: Before riding, ensure the tires are properly inflated using the provided hand pump.

Your First Ride
Important Safety Note: Be very careful when riding your e-bike for the first time, as it moves significantly faster than a regular bicycle in active power-assisted mode. Find an open area before you start. It is recommended to begin with the pedal assist off to familiarize yourself with braking and gear shifting. Gradually test the pedal assist levels to find your optimal settings.
Safety Checks Before Every Ride
- The battery pack must be charged and installed correctly.
- The display must be on and functioning properly.
- The brakes must be working properly.
- Tires must be inflated to the proper psi.
- The front and rear lights must be working properly.
- Cable connections must be secure.
Operating Your New e-Bike
To turn on the bike: Press the power button on the left handlebar until the display lights up.
To ride: Pedal the bike or twist the throttle bar. You can change the power level using the control buttons (Level 1 is the slowest, Level 5 is the fastest, Level 0 is the human model).
Hand Throttle Control
In hand throttle mode, power assist is determined by the throttle. Twist the throttle away from its resting position to deliver more power to the motor for acceleration. Release the throttle to slow down and apply brakes if necessary. You do not need to pedal when using the hand throttle, but pedaling can help conserve energy and extend battery life.
Security and Warnings
Before Riding the e-BIKE
Always perform a mechanical inspection:
- Hardware is properly secured.
- Tires are properly inflated.
- Brakes are working properly.
- Handlebar is adjusted and fixed.
- Front wheels are secure and properly locked.
When Riding the e-Bike
- Obey all road rules and local traffic laws.
- Respect motorists, pedestrians, and other cyclists. Do not race or taunt others.
- Ride cautiously; others may not see you. Maintain safe distances from other cyclists or vehicles.
- Ride on bike lanes and trails where available.
- Obey traffic stop signs and signals.
- Use appropriate gestures when turning and parking.
- Do not wear headphones.
- Do not carry adult passengers.
- Do not carry anything that obstructs your view or control of your e-bike.
Riding Situations
Off-road Riding
- Obey local laws regarding off-road riding.
- Practice on easier terrain to build skills.
- Always wear proper safety gear.
- Ride with a companion in the backcountry.
Riding in the Rain
- Avoid riding in wet weather as much as possible.
- Reduce your speed if riding in wet weather.
- Wet weather affects visibility, braking, and traction, and can impact other road users.
- Accidents are more frequent in wet conditions.
Riding at Night
Riding at night is more dangerous. Be sure to wear reflective clothing and obey local laws. Reflectors are supplementary to lights; ensure your lighting system is adequate. Using inadequate lighting systems and reflectors could result in serious injury. Consider aftermarket lighting systems if necessary.
Extreme and Aggressive Riding
Electric bike designs have limitations. Extreme, stunt, and competition riding may exceed these limits and is not recommended by the manufacturer, as it increases the risk of death and serious injury.
Battery and Maintenance
Charging Your e-Bike Battery
Follow these steps for charging your e-bike battery:
- Open the cover of the charging port and fold the bicycle.
- Insert the key into the battery and turn it clockwise until it is fully secured (the lock lever should be retracted).
- Slide the battery off. Be cautious as the battery is heavy.
Battery Charging Information
- You can charge the battery while it is installed on the e-bike or after removing it.
- Turn off the battery before charging.
- Charging time is approximately 6 hours for a fully discharged battery. The charger's LED will turn green when charging is complete; disconnect the charger then.
- Do not leave the charger connected for extended periods after charging is full.
- It is normal for the charger and battery to heat up slightly during charging. If you notice anything unusual, stop charging and contact Engwe Bikes Product Support.
Tips for Increasing Range
The bike's range varies based on rider, terrain, wind, user input, and cargo. To maximize range:
- Ride at a lower PAS level.
- Use lower PAS levels and pedal when climbing hills.
- Pedal when starting from a standstill.
Battery Recycling
Dispose of used batteries according to state and federal regulations. Lithium-ion batteries cannot be placed in standard trash cans.
