1. Check that the front and rear brakes are properly

aligned. Squeeze the front brake lever (left) and the rear

brake lever (right) with your e-bike at a standstill and

apply full pressure to one pedal. The e-bike should not

move forward if the brake levers work properly.

2. Check that the insertion marks on the handle stem and on

the seat post are fully tightened.

3. Check the front and rear wheels to ensure that they are

secure. Ensure that the hub nuts on the front and rear

wheels are securely fastened.

4. Check tire pressure (found on the tireʼs sidewall).

5. Ensure that pushing the seat from side-to-side securely

fastens the seat.

6. Check the pedals and the gear crank to ensure that they

are secure.

7. Check that side reflectors are in place and free from

damage and contamination.

8. Check the frame and the front fork for any deformation.

9. Ensure that the front wheel and the handlebars are set in

the correct orientation.

10.Secure any loose fitting pants to your leg with a band or

other similar means.

11.For your safety, always wear protective clothing (helmet,

biking gloves) each time you ride your e-bike.

12. If a child intends to use your e-bike, make sure that he/she

wears protective clothing (including a helmet, knee pads,

elbow pads, and/or wrist protection). Check your state

regulations to determine the minimum age requirement for

e-bike use in your area.

• In this manual, there are three signs used to alert you of the

degree of danger associated with riding: Danger, Warning,

and Caution.

4. Riding Instructions

Do not ride tandem on

your e-bike under any

circumstances.

Do not ride while

walking a pet or when

holding an object.

Do not ride on rough trails,

including mountain trails.

Do not step on your e-bike to

reach something above

your head.

Do not use your e-bike to do “tricks”

such as pulling a wheelie, performing

jumps, or riding down stairs.

Do not ride under the

influence of alcohol or

any other substances.

• Read the entirety of this userʼs manual carefully before your

first ride and fully abide by the warnings and guidelines

that are contained therein.

• Misuse of your e-bike can result in injury.

• Although your e-bike was produced with strict quality

assurance practices, there is a possibility that damage

could have occurred in transit. If you identify defects with

your bike upon receiving it, please contact us at

1-855-GO-GENZE

• Consult your retailer before riding an e-bike if you are

over 230 lbs.

Make sure that wires are not entangled

Warning

Riding with the wires entangled may

cause the brake to be applied unexpect-

edly or not to work properly.

Make sure that the seat is held securely

before every ride

Danger

Make sure that the minimum insertion

mark on the seat post is not visible

beyond the bike frame

If you are unsure about whether the seat

post is secure, loosen it via the quick

release and then fasten it again securely.

NORMAL ENTANGLED

4. Riding Instructions

Do not only use your front brake. Ensure the kickstand is

up before every ride.

Applying the brakes abruptly

on a wet or icy surface may

cause the bike to skid

uncontrollably.

Avoid wearing loose-fitting clothing

that might get caught in the e-bikeʼs

chain or in other moving parts.

Refrain from cycling in high

heels, slippers, sandals, or

while barefoot. Always wear

closed toed footwear while

riding your GenZe e-bike.

Avoid placing lubricant on

the brakes or the wheel rim,

as it will significantly

weaken braking power.

Placing an excessive load on your

bike may cause you to lose

control.

Creak!

10 / 11

Always use proper

hand signals.

If you are a beginner, make sure you practice in a large open

area before riding on public roads.

Do not allow anyone who does not know how to control an

e-bike to ride your e-bike.

Make sure that your e-bike is set to “Pedal Assist 1” before you

start and pedal slowly at first to avoid unexpected acceleration.

12 / 13

5. Assembly and Adjustment

Correct Riding Position

• The correct riding position allows you to maneuver the

handlebar and apply the brakes when needed.

• Adjust the seatʼs height so that both of your toes can

touch the ground when you sit on the seat.

• There should be at least a 2-inch gap

between yourself and the top tube

when you are standing over

the e-bike.

(this applies to the e101 only)

Seat Assembly and Height Adjustment

1. Insert the seat post into the frame until the insertion marks

(upper & lower) are no longer visible. Next, adjust the

seat post to the appropriate height and tighten the nut

and close the lever to securely fasten the seat.

2. Securing the fastener should take a considerable amount

of force. Check with your retailer or authorized service

center for proper installation instructions as the seatʼs

height should vary depending on your height.

Front Wheel Assembly

• Front wheels need to be assembled by technical service at

your retailer.

• Make sure that the front and rear hubs are correctly set as

shown in Figures 1 and 2 below.

• Fasten the quick release lever on the axle as shown in

Figures 3 and 4 below.

• You should exert considerable force when fastening the

quick release. If the lever opens with ease, it may not have

been securely fastened.

Tire Inflation

• Fill tires to recommended pressure as indicated on the

sidewall of the tire.

Pedal Assembly

*Make sure that the pedals are mounted on their respective

sides, as labeled. Failure to do so will prevent their being

removed or reattached.*

• The left and right pedals are fastened by screws rotating

in the opposite directions.

• The pedal with “R” marked on one side is the Right Pedal.

The pedal with the “L” marked on one side is the Left Pedal.

• Use a 15mm spanner and make sure that the pedal axle

and the gear crank arm are perpendicular to each other

when attaching the pedals.

Brakes

• Please note that all brake services need to be conducted

by the technical service department at your retailer or at

a GenZe Service Center.

• Riding with improperly adjusted brakes or worn brake

pads can result in serious injury or death.

• Adjust the brake lever if the distance between the lever

and the handlebar is too great.

• Make sure that the disc is fully coupled to the frame and

securely held.

• Insert the disc into the brake body (attach the front wheel)

and then fix the brake wire.

• Squeeze the brake lever two to three times to see whether

the brake pad touches the disc.

How to Use and Adjust Gears

• If your GenZe e-Bike is not shifting correctly:

o Check the wire tension.

o If the wire is loose, rotate the bolt on the shifting lever

counter-clockwise.

o If the wire is not loose, choose the bolt marked ʻHʼ

between the two adjusting bolts for the front derailleur

and rotate it counter-clockwise one to two turns.

o Rotate the bolt marked ʻHʼ one turn to the left to adjust

gear 3 of the front derailleur, and the bolt marked ʻLʼ to

adjust the large gears of the rear derailleur.

If the problem still exists, consult your local retailer or a GenZe

technical service center by calling 1-855-GO-GENZE.

Avoid using extreme combinations of gears such as those

shown in Figure 4. They can cause excessive traction between

the sprocket and the chain, reducing the service life of your

e-bike.
