  • Page 9: Assembly Instructions

    Assembly Instructions Handlebar Installation（4mm Hex Wrench） ◆ Step 1: Loosen the bolts on your bike stem. Step 2: Center your handlebars and rotate them to align to the marking pointed to in the below image. Step 3: Tighten bolts to handlebar stem, but don’t tighten completely as you may want to further adjust the angle later to align more precisely. Test the positioning, and adjust the handlebar to your preferred angle.
  • Page 10 Front wheel (15mm Wrench) ◆ Step 1: Loosen the bolts of the protection bar of the front fork. Pull out the red pad, which is used to protect the hydraulic brake caliper. Step 2: Roll the wheel in between the front fork. Align the fork dropouts with the axle of the wheel hub, making sure the dropouts are fully seated on the axle. Also, ensure the brake rotor is properly inserted into the caliper.
  • Page 11 Step 4: Install the quick-release skewer starting from the brake rotor side of the wheel, inserting the quick-release skewer through the hub, and then replacing the second cone spring on the other side. Ensure both springs are pointed narrow-side-in towards the wheel hub. Step 5: Tighten the thumb nut until the quick-release lever is held in line with the axle, and then use your palm of your hand to close the quick-release lever.
  • Page 12 Step 6: Inflate the tires and make sure they have sufficient pressure for riding comfort and safety, not exceeding the limit specified on the sidewall. Step 7: Rotate the front wheel. Make sure to fully close the quick release skewer lever on the front wheel and check the wheel balance in Pedal Only Mode. If you notice the riding is imbalanced or the rotation of the front wheel makes noise, it means the bolts were not completely tightened or not aligned horizontally.
  • Page 13 Headlight (4mm Hex Wrench & 10mm Wrench) ◆ Step 1: Loosen the bolts on the fork brace. While holding the nut with a 10mm wrench, unscrew the bolt with a 4mm hex wrench. Step 2: Align the bolt holes of both your front light and the front fender together with the hole on the fork brace, then reinsert the bolt through all holes and tighten the bolt with a 10mm wrench and a hex wrench.
  • Page 14 Pedals Installation ◆ Make sure your pedals are installed on the correct side, as installing on the wrong side will damage the threads. Indicators for the right pedal (R) and the left pedal (L) can be found in two places: the stickers on the plastic cover, and the bottom of the pedal threads. Before you install the pedals, apply a small amount of waterproof grease onto the spindle.
  • Page 15 Seat Adjustment ◆ Adjust the Seat Height: Open the seatpost quick release lever. Adjust the seatpost height by sliding the seatpost up or down to a height appropriate for your leg length and preferred riding position. Do not extend the seatpost beyond the minimum insertion marking etched onto the seatpost. WARNING: Overextending the seatpost can cause it to break or come off your bike, putting you at very high risk of serious injury or death.
  • Page 16 Adjust the Seat Angle: Step 1: Loosen the seat adjustment bolt beneath the seat. Move the seat backward or forward and tilt to adjust the angle within the limit markings etched on the seat rail. Do not exceed the limit markings, to ensure the safety of yourself and the bike. Step 2: Tighten the seat adjustment bolt.

  • Page 36: Riding Limitations

    PEDAL-ONLY ◆ In this mode, the E-bikes will perform like a normal bike, as you’ll be riding without any assistance from the motor. This mode is especially useful if you run out of battery, or are looking for more intensive resistance training. We suggest that you select a lower assistance level when you first ride your Bike.

  • Page 37: Parking & Transport

    2. Ensure your loads are properly secured and periodically check that nothing has loosened. 3. Plan your route accordingly when cargo is loaded on the Cheetah, considering hill climbing ability, steering, and braking. Also account for moderately reduced range when carrying extra cargo weight (or an additional passenger).

  • Page 38: Safety And Care Instructions

    Safety and Care Instructions To ensure safe riding conditions and maximize e-bike longevity, you must follow the guidelines outlined below: • To clean the e-bike, wipe the frame with a damp cloth soaked in a mild, non-abrasive, non-corrosive detergent mixture. Wipe or spray all unpainted parts with anti-rust treatment after being used in coastal areas or areas with salty air or water.

  • Page 39: Maintenance

    Maintenance Battery Maintenance (48V 20AH Samsung/LG Lithium-ion battery) ◆ Don't fully drain your battery. Turn off the power when the battery charge is low. Fully charge the battery after each use, no matter how much power is used. This will prolong the battery life. If the battery is not used for a long time, store the battery with a full charge and charge it once a month.

  • Page 40: Brake Maintenance

    Brake Maintenance ◆ Pad replacement: Pads should be replaced if they become contaminated or have less than 2.5mm thickness. (Metal plate & wear material) Before riding: Check the pads for wear or contamination. Check the hose for cracking, wear or deformation. Replace if necessary. Check if the brake system is operating correctly.
  • Page 41 CAUTION: Cleanliness is a very important part of any maintenance of the Tektro hydraulic disc brake. If the pads or rotor become contaminated with oil or if the hydraulics become contaminated with impurities, braking performance will be greatly impaired. Use only Tektro brake fluid with the Tektro hydraulic disc brake.
  • Page 42 Step 5: Attach a section of plastic tubing with knurled silver bleed fitting to your syringe (supplied with bleed kit). Fill Syringe halfway with Tektro Mineral Oil. Hold the Syringe vertically with the tip up and tap out any air bubbles. Install the knurled silver bleed fitting (supplied with the bleed kit) into the caliper bleed port.
  • Page 43 Step 8: Start filling the brake with new mineral oil by slowly pushing the syringe. Air bubbles may come out of the reservoir. Continue pushing fluid until you no longer see bubbles coming out of the tube .(See 4d) Step 9: Remove the plastic bag or collection bottle, section of tube, and knuried bleed fitting from the brake lever reservoir.
  • Page 44 If there is lasered "5.0mm Pad" and (or) “2.3mm rotor only" or "E.2.3" on the caliper of your hydraulic disc brakes, please make sure to replace your brake pads and rotors according to the original setup of each model. You can find more information about 2.3mm rotors and 5.0mm pads on TEKTRO website. (See 4i).
