   – Tighten the nuts with a socket wrench.

2. **Install the Front Wheel:**

   – Align the front wheel with the dropouts on the front fork.

   – Insert the axle and secure it similarly to the rear wheel.

3. **Adjust the Wheels:**

   – Ensure both wheels spin freely and are aligned correctly.

   – Adjust the tension of the spokes if necessary.

#### **4. Brake System Installation**

1. **Attach the Brake Levers:**

   – Mount the brake levers on the handlebars.

   – Secure them in place with the provided bolts.

2. **Install the Brake Calipers:**

   – Attach the front and rear brake calipers to their respective mounts on the frame and fork.

   – Use the appropriate bolts to secure them.

3. **Connect the Brake Cables:**

   – Run the brake cables from the levers to the calipers.

   – Attach the cables to the calipers and adjust the tension to ensure proper braking.

#### **5. Motor and Battery Installation**

1. **Install the Electric Motor:**

   – If the motor is hub-mounted, ensure it’s securely attached to the wheel hub.

   – If mid-drive, mount it to the designated area on the frame.

2. **Install the Battery Pack:**

   – Place the battery pack in its designated area on the frame.

   – Secure it with the provided brackets and bolts.

   – Ensure the battery is properly aligned and securely fastened.

3. **Connect the Motor and Battery:**

   – Attach the motor’s power cable to the battery’s output connector.

   – Ensure the connection is tight and secure.

#### **6. Throttle and Controller Installation**

1. **Mount the Throttle:**

   – Attach the throttle assembly to the handlebars.

   – Secure it with the screws provided.

2. **Install the Controller:**

   – Mount the controller to the frame using the provided brackets or screws.

   – Ensure it’s in a location that is protected from water and debris.

3. **Connect the Wiring:**

   – Connect the throttle, brake sensors, and motor to the controller.

   – Use zip ties to secure the wiring neatly along the frame.

#### **7. Display Unit Installation**

   – Attach the display unit to the handlebars.

   – Secure it with the provided clamp or screws.

2. **Connect the Display:**

   – Plug the display unit into the controller.

   – Ensure the connection is firm.

#### **8. Pedal and Chain/Belt Installation**

1. **Install the Pedals:**

   – Attach the left and right pedals to the crank arms.

   – Use a wrench to tighten them securely.

2. **Install the Chain/Belt:**

   – If your bike uses a chain, loop it around the sprockets and join the ends.

   – For a belt drive, ensure the belt is properly tensioned and aligned.

#### **9. Final Adjustments**

1. **Check All Connections:**

   – Ensure all electrical connections are secure and properly insulated.

   – Double-check that all bolts, nuts, and screws are tight.

2. **Adjust the Seat and Handlebars:**

   – Set the seat height and handlebar position to a comfortable level.

   – Tighten the adjustment bolts.

3. **Test the Brakes and Throttle:**

   – Squeeze the brake levers to ensure they engage properly.

   – Test the throttle to confirm smooth acceleration.

#### **10. Initial Power-Up and Testing**

1. **Charge the Battery:**

   – Connect the charger to the battery and plug it into a power source.

   – Allow the battery to charge fully before the first ride.

2. **Turn on the System:**

   – Power on the bike using the main switch or button.

   – Check that the display lights up and shows the correct information.

3. **Test Ride:**

   – Take the bike for a short test ride.

   – Check for any unusual noises, vibrations, or issues.

   – Ensure that the motor, brakes, and throttle are functioning correctly.

#### **11. Maintenance Tips**

– Regularly check tire pressure and tread wear.
