PREFACE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE OWNER! IMPORTANT: Reading and following the information and instructions in this manual are essential to the ability of the owner or any other persons allowed to use this bicycle in order to ride safely. 1. It is the responsibility of the owner or in the case of a younger rider the parents of the rider to be certain all assembly instructions have been followed, even if the bike has been assembled by the seller or a professional assembly company.
Page 6
NOTE: BEFORE TRANSPORTING THE BIKE AND/OR BATTERY, CALL CUSTOMER SERVICE AT 1-800-451-KENT (5368) FOR SPECIFIC DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS. ALWAYS WEAR A HELMET-IT COULD SAVE YOUR LIFE! A properly fitting, CPSC approved, bicycle helmet should be worn at all times when riding your bicycle.
BEFORE RIDING WARNING - ON AND OFF ROAD CONDITIONS: The condition of the riding surface is very important to your safety. If the surface is wet, or has sand, leaves, small rocks or other loose debris on the surface where you plan to ride, carefully decrease the speed of the bicycle and ride with extra caution.
Page 10
BEFORE RIDING 8. Keep to the RIGHT SIDE of the road. Follow the traffic flow in a straight line close to the curb. Watch out for opening car doors and cars moving in and out of traffic. Use caution at intersections.
Page 11
BEFORE RIDING Your new bicycle was assembled and tuned in the factory and then partially disassembled for shipping. The following instructions will enable you to prepare your bicycle for years of enjoyable cycling. For more details on inspection, lubrication, maintenance and adjustment of any area please refer to the relevant sections in this manual.
Page 12
BEFORE RIDING Just a minute spent before each ride can significantly improve your safety and the enjoyment of your ride. So, EACH TIME before you ride make a habit of performing the following safety checks: • Stand in front of the bicycle facing rearward and hold the front wheel securely between your legs.
Page 13
BEFORE RIDING CORRECT FRAME SIZING: When selecting a new bicycle, the correct choice of frame size is a very important safety consideration. The ideal clearance will vary between types of bicycles and rider preference. This makes straddling the frame when off the saddle easier and safer in situations such as sudden traffic stops.
Page 14
BEFORE RIDING RIDING POSITION: Arms not SADDLE HEIGHT overextended In order to obtain the most comfortable riding Handlebar stem position and offer the best possible pedaling, correct height saddle height should not allow leg strain from over- about the same as extension, and the hips should not rock from side to seat height side when pedaling.
ASSEMBLING YOUR BIKE PREPARATION It is important that you read this owner’s manual before you start to assemble your bicycle. WE RECOMMEND THAT YOU CONSULT A PROFESSIONAL BICYCLE MECHANIC IF YOU HAVE DOUBTS OR CONCERNS AS TO YOUR ABILITY TO PROPERLY ASSEMBLE, REPAIR, OR MAINTAIN YOUR BICYCLE.
Page 16
ASSEMBLING YOUR BIKE QUICK RELEASE FRONT WHEEL Some bicycles have wheel axles that incorporate a Quick Release (QR) mechanism. This allows easy wheel removal without the need for tools. The mechanism uses a long bolt (called a skewer) with an Adjusting Nut on one end, and a lever operating a cam-action tensioner on the other.
Page 17
ASSEMBLING YOUR BIKE KICKSTAND If your bike is equipped with a kickstand, please follow the instructions below. 1. Place the bicycle in an upright position. 2. Remove the top plate from the kickstand. 3. From the left side of the bicycle (opposite side from chainring), place the kickstand in position beneath the two rear fork legs.
Page 18
ASSEMBLING YOUR BIKE PEDAL INSTALLATION 1. Apply a small amount of grease to the threads of each pedal. Look for the letter “L” or “R” on the side or end of each pedal spindle (picture). Turning the spindle clockwise by hand (Picture), thread the pedal marked “R”...
Page 19
ASSEMBLING YOUR BIKE ADJUSTABLE STEM 1. Remove plastic packaging covering the expander wedge. Loosen the stem expander bolt, if necessary, so the wedge nut is in line with the stem body. See illustration. Angle Adjustment Screw (6mm) 2. Insert the stem into the head tube past the minimum insertion line indicated on the stem.
Page 20
ASSEMBLING YOUR BIKE A-HEAD STEM ASSEMBLY WARNING! ALWAYS TIGHTEN FASTENERS TO THE CORRECT TORQUE. BOLTS THAT ARE TOO TIGHT CAN DEFORM. BOLTS THAT ARE TOO LOOSE CAN MOVE AND FATIGUE. EITHER MISTAKE CAN LEAD TO LOSS OF CONTROL, SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. IF YOU DO NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH YOUR SKILLS IN ASSEMBLING OR ADJUSTING THE BIKE, PLEASE TAKE...
Page 21
ASSEMBLING YOUR BIKE SEAT & SEAT POST ASSEMBLY 1. Loosen the seat clamp nuts. 2. Insert the top portion of the seat post into the seat clamp. Be sure the seat post is completely inserted into the seat clamp and butted tightly against the underside of the seat. 3.
Page 22
ASSEMBLING YOUR BIKE DISC BRAKES We suggest that if your bike comes equipped with a disc brake that you consult a professional bicycle mechanic for any adjustments or repair needed for this brake. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS 1. Adjust the inner cable so that the protruding length is less than 20mm. If the protruding length is any longer, the end of the cable may become stuck in the rotor, which could cause the wheel to lock and the bicycle could fall forward causing injuries.
Page 23
ASSEMBLING YOUR BIKE DISC BRAKES continued 11. It is important to completely understand the operation of your bicycle’s brake system. Improper use of your brake system may result in loss of control or an accident, which could lead to severe injury. Because each bicycle may handle differently be sure to learn proper braking technique (including brake lever pressure and bicycle control characteristics) and operation of your bicycle.
Page 24
ASSEMBLING YOUR BIKE DISC BRAKES continued Brake is adjusted correctly when the brake pads do not drag on the rotor when the brake is open and when applied, the brake pads contact the rim before the brake lever reaches about 1/3 of the way to the handlebar.
Page 25
ASSEMBLING YOUR BIKE TIRES AND TUBES After assembling your bike, it will be necessary to inflate the tires. Check the side wall of the tire for the correct tire pressure (PSI) and inflate tires accordingly with a MANUAL BICYCLE PUMP. Improper inflation is the biggest cause of tire failure. Due to the slightly porous nature of bicycle inner tubes, it is normal for your bike tires to lose pressure over time.
Page 26
ASSEMBLING YOUR BIKE REFLECTORS Your bike is supplied with one front reflector (white), one rear reflector (red), two wheel reflectors (white) and four pedal reflectors (orange). These are an important safety and legal requirement, and should remain securely fitted and in good condition at all times. Periodically, inspect all reflectors, brackets and mounting hardware for signes of wear or damage.
Page 27
ASSEMBLING YOUR BIKE FORK MOUNT REFLECTORS First insert one washer onto the hex bolt and insert hex bolt through the reflector bracked and then through the fork. Next, insert a second washer onto the bolt and thread a hex nut onto the bolt behind the fork. Tighten bolts until snug, making sure the reflector is in an upright position.
Page 28
ASSEMBLING YOUR BIKE SHIFTING GEARS If your bike is a multi-speed bike, please read the information below to familiarize yourself with the basics of shifting gears. Your multi-speed bicycle will have a derailleur drivetrain (see 1. below), an internal gear hub drivetrain (see 2.
Page 29
ASSEMBLING YOUR BIKE b. Shifting The Rear Derailleur The rear derailleur is controlled by the right shifter. The function of the rear derailleur is to move the drive chain from one gear sprocket to another. The smaller sprockets on the gear cluster produce higher gear ratios.

ELECTRIC BIKE FAQS Q. How long does it take to fully charge the battery? A. Depends on the state of discharge but around 5-6 hours if completely discharged. Q. What are the running costs for an electric bike? A. You will have no worries about rising fuel prices at the pumps. All our electrically powered vehicles use household electricity.
Page 56
ELECTRIC BIKE FAQS Q. How far will an electric bike take me? A. This all depends on a few factors. Cycling with pedal assist along a straight road under normal conditions, the standard battery should last about 15-30 miles (24 - 48 kilometers). Cycling up steep hills will obviously take more energy out of the battery and factors such as road surface, wind resistance, weight of the rider and tire pressure will affect your range.
