Your First Ride:
When you buckle on your helmet and go for your rst ride, be sure to pick an area away from
cars, other cyclists, obstacles or other hazards to become familiar with the controls, features

QUICK START GUIDE
Remove Bike
Take your bike out of its box. Check the box for the
additional parts such as chargers, or any parts that may
have come loose in shipping. Remove the protective
packaging and any zip ties that secure the bike for transit.
Keep track of all the parts that you remove from the box
and bike. – Remove the battery and put it on charge.
1.
Saddle & Pedals
Loosen the seat high adjustment bolt on the frame and insert
the seat tube. Adjust it to your desired height and tighten.
The angle of the seat can be changed to suit your preference.
Please check that the bolts are tight before riding. The pedals
will need to be installed before you can ride. They have “L” and
“R” stamped into the end of the threaded part, this refers to
the side of the bike that they t. The right hand pedal does up
clockwise, whereas the left hand pedal does up anti-clockwise.
3.
Ride!
Once the battery is fully charged lock it into the frame
and turn it on with the key at the top of the battery.
You’re now ready to go!
5.
Handlebars & Wheels
Lift the front of the bike up and oer the wheel up to the
bike. Seat the axle into the front dropouts and secure the
wheel in place by doing up the axle nuts. The handlebar
folding-joint is secured by an Allen bolt which is hidden
when the handlebar is fully upright position. To tighten
this, align the handlebars so that they are straight, fold
the joint to the side and tighten the bolt.
2.
Pre Ride Checks
You’re nearly there. Check that the tyres are pumped
up to the pressure recommended on the tyre side wall.
Check that the brakes are tight, centred and do not rub.
Go over all nuts and bolts and make sure they are done
up.

SAFETY WARNING
Safety First!
Always wear an approved helmet when riding your Dillenger electric bike and follow the helmet
manufacturer’s instructions for t, use and care of your helmet.
Mechanical Safety Check
Routinely check the condition of your bike before every ride. Make sure no nuts, bolts or spokes

Before you can ride your new bike, there are several thing to check over to
make sure that it is safe to ride.
Seat
It is important to be comfortable while riding, with this in mind
the Dillenger Cheetah is tted with a plush double-sprung
saddle. The height of the saddle can be adjusted by undoing
the fastening bolt, moving the seat to the desired height, then
re-fastening the bolt.
The angle of the saddle
can also be adjusted. To do
this undo the nuts under the saddle, rotate the saddle to the
desired angle, re-tighten the nuts. It is recommended to check
that these nuts are tight before riding.
Fault Solution
My saddle is at an uncom-
fortable angle
Undo the adjusting nuts, adjust the angle of the saddle, and
retighten the nuts.
My saddle is loose and
turns when I ride Height adjustment bolt is too loose, tighten it.
My saddle is loose and
turns when I ride Saddle adjustment nuts are loose, tighten them.
Installing the Front Wheel
●Place the front wheel in the front fork drop out slots and
ensure the wheel ts correctly.
●Ensure that the locking tabs are correctly mounted into the
holes in the forks.
●Fully tighten both nuts and ensure the wheel sits straight in
the forks.
SETUP

Handlebars
The handlebars on the Dillenger Cheetah are adjustable for
height and foldable to reduce the stored size.
Depending on how the bikes were packed the bike may arrive
without the handlebar folding joint inserted into the frame.
Fitting it is very simple. When in the upright position, the
tightening bolt for the folding joint is hidden. To tighten the
bolt, the handlebars have to be folded down. The angle at
which the joint sits is designed to be on an angle. This is so that
when folded, the handlebars sit in line with the frame, rather
than across to save space.
The height of the handlebar is easily adju
sted. To change the height, open the quick-release clamp;
change the handlebars to the desired height, then close the
quick-release clamp to set the desired height.
Fault Solution
My handlebars just
spin and do not turn
the front wheel
Fold the handlebars down and tighten the Allen bolt, this locks
the handlebars to the front forks.
My handlebars are
loose and wobbly
Check the height adjusting quick release clamp is tight. To do
this open the quick release, tighten the round bolt by one turn,
then close the clamp again. Repeat if one turn is not enough.
Pedals
Pay very close attention when installing the pedals as each
pedal only ts on one side.
●Stamped into the end of each pedal is either an “L” or an
“R”. The threads on one side are opposite to the other to
prevent them coming undone when riding.
●The pedal marked “R” goes on the right hand side of the
bike (this is the same as your right hand side if you were
riding the bike).
●The right hand pedal goes in CLOCKWISE like a normal
screw.
●The left hand pedal has to be done up ANTI-CLOCKWISE.
●Thread the pedals in as far as you can by hand before using
a spanner.

Brakes
Front V-Brake
●To adjust the brakes, loosen the clamp that holds
the brake cable with an Allen key.
●Hold each arm in towards the rim of the wheel and
pull the loose brake cable through the clamp.
●Once you have pulled the cable tight, use an Allen
key to tighten the clamp. This will hold the cable in
place. Make sure that the bolt is tightly holding the
brake cable before you ride!
●The side to side movement of the brake arms can also be ajusted by tightening or releasing
the spring tension centring screw.
●If you notice that the braking eciency diminishes it might be that your brake pads are worn
down. If there are no groves left on the pad, it needs to be replaced.
●Rim brakes can also cause wear of the rims. This eect is speeded up by sand or street dirt,
for instance.
●Bear in mind that V-brake type rim brakes have a very powerful braking action. Therefore,
never use the front brake only. Always use the front as well as the rear brake!
Rear Drum Brake
●Over time, drum brakes also wear. You will notice this by the fact that the brake levers will
almost be able to touch the handlebar. Usually, readjusting the brakes suces, but if there is
excessive travel undo the nut on the rear brake
and pull through any slack.
●With the cable-operated drum brake, turn the
adjusting nut until the brake lining just touches
the drum barrel. If when spun, the wheel stops
quickly, then the brake is over tightened. In this
case you should unscrew the nut one or two
turns until the wheel keeps spinning without
interruptions.
Fault Solution
The wheels do not
spin freely Check that the brakes are adjusted correctly and are not draging.
My brakes squeak
when I use them
The brakes could be worn down and may need replacement, or
there could be contaminants on the braking surface.
