INSTALL BATTERY

25. Key is not needed to install battery; simply place the bottom of 

the battery into lower slot and firmly push top of battery into upper 

slot. Make sure battery is locked firmly into place prior to riding as 

a loose battery may cause inadvertent loss of power, or the battery 

may fall out of chamber and become damaged. After reinserting, 

check the battery attachment by pulling out and up on the handle to 

ensure it is securely fastened.

INFLATE TIRES

26. Using a Schrader valve bike pump, inflate the tires to around 20psi.

READ BEFORE USE

27.  Make sure to check all nuts and bolts to 

ensure they have not loosened during 

shipping.

28.  Battery typically has a partial charge straight 

from the box. Riding the bike straight out 

of the box will not impact battery life or 

compromise the battery in any way.

29.  Battery can be charged while on the bike, 

or it can be removed and charged off of the 

bike.

30.  Keys are only used to remove battery from 

bike. Simply insert key into lock and turn, 

while pulling out and up on battery handle 

to remove battery.

31.  To reinsert battery, key is not needed; 

simply place bottom of battery into lower 

slot and firmly push top of battery into 

upper slot. (Note: Make sure battery is 

locked firmly into place prior to riding as a 

loose battery may cause inadvertent loss of 

power, or battery may fall out of chamber 

and become damaged. After reinserting, 

check battery attachment by pulling out 

and up on handle to ensure it is securely 

fastened.)

32.  Assembly is now complete, however, 

minor adjustments are often necessary 

to precisely fit eBike to rider. These 

adjustments can include rotating locking 

handle grips, moving/rotating brake levers, 

throttle, and shifters. These adjustments 

are easily performed. However, feel free 

to contact us via email or phone with any 

questions. 

33.  It may be necessary to adjust your 

derailleur prior to first use. Refer to our 

Troubleshooting Shifting Problems video on 

the Bakcou website for support adjusting 

your derailleur, or visit your local bike shop 

for assistance.

34.  Two “green” rolls of puncture proof tire 

liners may be located in the bike box 

or in the tool kit box. The liner goes in 

between the tube and the tire. 

If liners 

are not in the box or tool kit box, then 

they were installed at the factory.

 Some 

riders prefer to use these liners as well as 

a tube sealant such as Bakcou Flat Out 

for added protection from punctures. The 

liner will add some weight to the tire and 

does affect the flexibility of the rubber, thus 

slightly changing how the tire rolls across 

some terrain. We strongly encourage using 

the puncture proof liner when riding in 

areas with heavy “goat heads” or other 

tube puncturing thorns. (Bakcou YouTube 

instructional video available online.)

35.  Regular and routine maintenance of your 

eBike is not only recommended, but highly 

essential to ensure proper function, safety, 

and longevity of your eBike. See Owner’s 

Manual for further instruction.

36.  

Always wear a helmet and other protective 

gear while riding.

37. Always know and observe traffic and trail 

laws and regulations in your area.
