1.0 Introduction
Welcome and congratulations on buying your new A2B Octave*, the electric bike that’s taking transport in a whole new direction. It’s the
new revolutionary way to get to work, pop to the shops or just get some fresh air. Compared to jumping in the car, an ebike is a lot more
fun, easier to park and will reduce your fuel costs as well as your impact on the environment... as you’ll soon find out!

*A2B Octave is termed as ‘A2B’ throughout the rest of this manual.

4.0 Unpacking
NOTE: Your A2B weighs 37.2 kg (82 lb).
LIFT WITH CARE. Two people are recommended.
4.1 Tools and equipment
• Pliers
• Side cutters (for cutting cable ties used to pack the A2B)
• Blanket or tarpaulin (to avoid scratching unprotected surfaces on
the A2B whilst unpacking)
4.2 Delivered fully assembled and battery charged
Your A2B should be fully assembled and the battery charged
by your A2B dealer at the time of delivery. If not contact us
immediately as this will void your warranty. However, if you need to
unpack your A2B, follow these instructions:
1. Carefully open the flaps at the top of the carton. Remove all
staples (with pliers if necessary), to avoid the possibility of
scratching yourself or your A2B.
2. Carefully lift the A2B out of the carton. Two people are
recommended.
3. Lay the A2B on a tarpaulin or blanket to avoid scratching any
unprotected surface whilst you remove the packing materials.
4. Remove the accessory boxes from the carton.
5. Using the side cutters, clip the cable ties that hold various
components to the frame. ONLY clip those cable ties that are
used to attach components to the frame or prevent movement
during shipment (and NOT those trimmed of excess length).
The A2B has cable ties that manage electrical and control
cable routing (and ARE trimmed of excess length). DO NOT clip
these cable ties as they are necessary for the safe operation of the
vehicle.
6. Remove all of the protective wrapping from the A2B and dispose
of the packaging responsibly. The battery and charger should be
tested when received. If the battery or charger is damaged in any
way, a claim should be filed with the carrier. A full report of the
damage should be obtained by the claim agent, and this report
should be forwarded to Hero Eco. Hero Eco will advise the
action required and arrange for repair or replacement.
Charge the battery for at least 12 hours before using the A2B
for the first time. See section 6.2 & 6.3.

4.3 Installing the handlebar and display
1. Using a 4 mm allen key, unscrew the three bolts that hold the
handlebar clamp to the handlebar stem (a). Remove the cap
from the handlebar stem.
2. Install the steering stopper. Ensure that the stopper will not
touch the steering tube. Tighten the bolts to 6 Nm (b).
3. Nest the handlebar into the handlebar stem, ensuring that it is
centred and properly oriented. Replace the cap, reinstall the
bolts holding the cap to the stem and tighten the bolds securely
to 6 Nm per bolt (c).
It is essential to tighten all three bolts evenly to ensure proper
installation.
The bolt located on the top of the stem should be tightened
to no more than 1 Nm. The left side bolt on the bar stem must be
tightened to 10-12 Nm.
4. Install the display and tighten the bolts to 6 Nm per bolt (d).
5. Install the key lock and tighten the bolt to 3 Nm (e).
The 'Nm' measurements refer to the torque value that should be
applied to the tightening of bolts, please use an appropriate
spanner to apply the correct torque values as specified.
