Please Pay Attention:

Our electric bicycle is specially designed for city roads.

Intensive use of the electric bicycle or riding it not on flat roads can cause damage to the bicycle so that the bicycle will be out of order ahead of time and result in injuries.

Like other machine combination, electric vehicles will also be aging due to high pressure and wear. Different materials or components have different aging situations. Once surpassing the expected service life, electric bicycle is likely to be blew out suddenly and cause injuries during the using process. Under high pressure, cracks, scratches or discoloration can be occurred to electric vehicles, which indicate that the components have exceeded their using services and should be replaced.

Therefore, you are advised to regularly check the frame, front fork and rim of your electric bicycle, especially in the case of intensive use.

You are also advised to read the instruction in detail before using the electric bicycle, which contains the information of the first adjustment, maintenance and use. Wish you have safety and happiness when using the electric bicycle and get satisfaction.

Important Suggestion:

Wearing a suitable helmet when riding.
Not suggest riding this e-bike under 18 years old.
Not suggest used for picking up children.
Can ride in rainy or snowy, but avoid wading into water.
Store the battery in a dry and ventilated condition, keep it away

from fire. Unplug the power after charging, please charge the battery once a month when not in use.

Battery: extraction, charge, insertion, use and maintenance

Battery is located behind the central beam and it should be fully charged before using. If you need to take out the battery, please follow the steps below:1.1 Extract battery: turn the seat around before inserting the key, then turn they key clockwise till the bolt jumps open. The unlocked battery then can be extracted (making sure that the key is turned to the bottom).

1.2 Grab the handle of the battery, lift it up vertically.

1.3 Charge: connect the charging plug of the charger to the battery, and then, plug the charger power plug into AC socket, finally remove battery separator and turn the switch on.

The charging time is about 6 hours (initial electric quantity is zero), and if the battery has parts of electric quantity, charging time should be shortened. But for fully charging maintenance, charging time will be extended: generally the expected additional charging time of battery is 1-2 hours.

1.4 Reinsert battery: insert battery in the groove behind the seat and push it down to the end until the battery is completely locked.

Push battery down

1.5 Be sure to lock the battery box tightly against theft.

1.6 Battery debugging period: during the using periods for first 5 to 10 times (fully charging and discharging in about 2 to 5 times), there will be chemical reaction inside the battery. If the reaction is inadequate, the battery can’t achieve the best running status, so charge using in the first time will not exceed 80% of the capacity of electricity.

1.7 Battery has no memory effect. You can charge when the electricity has or has not been used completely. It is advised that charge timely after each use in case that the electric vehicle stops operation on the way.

1.8 When fully charged, the indicator light on the top of the charger will turn from red to green. Considering the service life of the charger, you’d better unplug after finishing charge each time.

1.9 Maintenance obligations: just as muscle movement can keep normal only by adding sugar regularly, battery needs being recharged regularly. Interval time of charging must not exceed one month, or the battery will be accelerated aging that can lead to failure. If it’s the above mentioned reason that causes failure, you can’t enjoy warranty service.

1.10 Compared with summer, driving range in winter will reduce 10%-20%.

1.11 The cycle life of an ordinary battery is about 500 times, while that of a high quality battery is 700 times which is equal to 2 to 4 years of use. Good habits of using and maintenance will prolong the using service of the battery.

2.1 Adjust the height of the Stem

Adjust the stem to the desired height in order to have a straight and comfortable position.

Tighten the attachment

2.2 Adjust the height of the seat

Adjust the seat to the desired height and quick tighten

Warning: do not lift the rod beyond the minimum insertion mark.

Observe the tire walls and control the tire pressure intensity. Unit: P.S.I. or BAR（kgf/cm²)

Make sure that the tire pressure is always between the minimum and maximum threshold recommended, an under inflated tire will deflated more easily and excessive inflation will cause a burst

Tip: in order to avoid tire burst, please operate according to the requirements.

The maximum load of the electric bicycle is 220-280 lb (including the rider and his goods)

The rear rack and fender are not included, if you need please contact ONWAY seller support for help.

How to Start the Motor:

Long Press the “M” button of the handlebar display 3 seconds, then the system will start.
Select your preferred level of electric motor assist with the MODE button:

Level 1 Low Speed

Level 2 Mid Speed

Level 3 High Speed

When driving, you can also turn off the motor (press M 3 seconds) and resume at any time motor assistance by reverse manipulation.

The pedal motor assistance will not start until the user cycle the bicycle ( after a quarter of a turnaround bracket ) .

How To Open / Close the Front Light:

6.1 Fold the stem: rotate the ring in the black hard plastic to release the bracket, then tilt the stem along the front wheel

6.2 Lower the seat and fold the two pedals

6.3 Open the frame to fold in on itself:

Raise the silver handle, open the clamping of aluminum and fold the frame (you can help yourself with the knee)

7.1 Lubricating Methods

Steel rope and other rotating parts need to use Vaseline lubricating oil, while chain should use special oil. After cleaning, add oil to such fulcrums as front axle, middle axle, rear axle, flywheel, front fork, chain, etc. for lubrication.

7.2 Adjustment of chain tightness

If the chain is too tight, the driving speed will be influenced; if too loose, the chain will be easy to escape.

You need to adjust chain tightness regularly according to the following method:

Loosen the nuts on the both sides of the rear axle, and move the rear wheel backward slightly until the chain gets moderate tightness. At the same time, you should pay attention that the rear wheel should be parallel with the bicycle frame flat, then fasten the nuts on the both sides to make tightening torque being 35Nm (front wheel and rear wheel).

7.3 Adjustment of the Speed Control System

Please adjust the speed control system as follows:

*When pedaling gently, you can change shift by pressing the control lever of the derailleur, ensuring the chain fits onto the fly wheel. When poor contact or noise is detected, you can try to adjust the screws or the lever cable. Not to pedal hard.

*Please do not press the control level when the bicycle is not in operation (not moving) and do not press it with too much strength either.

*Do not pedal backward while changing shift, you might risk causing the chain to slip off or inflicting damage to the derailleur.

Place the bicycle onto an adjustment station or an adjustment rack before adjusting the speed control system. Gently pull the steel cable to ensure full contact between the steel cable and the tube. When the chain cannot be shifted to or slips off from the smallest sprocket, you can adjust the rear derailleur “L” adjusting screw; when the chain cannot be shifted to or slips off from the largest sprocket, you can adjust the rear derailleur “H” adjusting screw (A). If the chain “jumps over teeth” （chain jamming）after adjusting the rear derailleur, you can adjust the rear derailleur fine-tuning adjusting screw (B).

A B

7.4 Adjustment of the Brake System

When adjusting the brake system, you need to ensure that the brake block not only parallels but also aligns with the rim so that the brake block will not touch the tire when you apply the brake system when riding (A).

The acting surface of the brake blocks wears and must be changed after being used for a certain amount of time. Some rims have a safety braking groove. A rim must be changed if its safety braking groove has been completely worn off.

When adjusting the brake system, a lack of spring force on the springs of the right/left clamp arm can cause the left/right braking arm to act incongruently. When this happens, you can fine-tune the screw (B).

A B

Note: use the brake handle correctly for safe braking. In order to avoid brake failure or injuries, don’t hold the left brake handle suddenly in case of rider’s forward lean and injuries.

7.5 Replacement of Brake Steel Wire

Loosen the wire clip of the brake caliper, take out the old steel wire from pipe shroud, embed new steel wire, thread the hole of brake caliber, and then, insert wire clip, at last, adjust the tightness.

7.6 Check rim and braking system

Before using the electric vehicle, check the following proceedings:

The function of left brake lever and right brake lever. If damages (wear) appear on brake blocks or steel wires, replace them immediately.
Keep rim clean and there should be no oil contamination on the surface of braking device to avoid the danger brought by brake failure.
Use appropriate degreaser cleaning the surface of braking device regularly.
Check if the condition of rim is satisfactory by visual.

Note: the braking distance on wet roads is 40% longer than that on dry pavement.

The braking distance on dry pavement is 10m.

The braking distance on wet roads is 14m.

7.7 Cleaning and Maintenance of Bicycle

Scrubbing the bicycle with wet cloth and use it until the bicycle is naturally dry. Never wash it with water to avoid the damage of electronic components. The bicycle should be parked in dry places to avoid damages caused by bad weather.
