The Lankeleisi RV800Plus mountain bike arrives to you with the added convenience of being 80% pre-assembled at the factory, streamlining the setup process. To prepare for your riding experience, you’ll only need to complete a few key installations, including attaching the handlebars, front wheel, pedals/arm, and front light.
Please be aware that the bike manual provided with the Lankeleisi RV800Plus is a generic guide and may not contain specific instructions tailored to this model.
One notable detail to address is the handlebar mount, which is initially positioned inward for secure transportation. To adjust it properly, you’ll need to rotate it 180 degrees. However, it’s essential to note that the front forks can obstruct this rotation in either direction. Unfortunately, the manual does not provide guidance on achieving this adjustment without removing the entire bracket. To resolve this, you can follow these steps:
- Loosen the front forks and gently lower the suspension.
- Rotate the handlebar bracket to the desired orientation.
- Reset and secure the forks in the adjusted position.
Attaching the handlebars is a straightforward process. It involves removing four screws and two brackets, allowing you to align the handlebars as needed before reattaching the brackets.
For the front light installation, start by loosening the bolt and removing the headlamp from its packing position. This may require cutting a tie clip to unplug and reroute the connecting wire. The wire features a ‘push-to-fit’ fastening mechanism with a small aligning tab to prevent damage.
The headlamp comes with an adjustable bracket that can be loosened using two bolts, one on each side. Additionally, the front mudguard attaches to the same headlamp bolt, so ensure that this is done before tightening the nut. The headlamp also has two tabs that rest on the cross member, so be cautious to avoid any scratches to the paint. To ensure everything is in working order, we recommend testing the headlamp at this stage, and you should find it operating flawlessly.
To install the rear mudguard, follow these steps:
- Begin by removing the bolt located just in front of the rear wheel.
- Attach the mudguard to the designated position.
- Secure it firmly with the bolt, making sure the mudguard is positioned clear of the rear wheel.
To attach the front wheel, please take note of the following instructions:
- Invert the bike, and it’s advisable to have someone assist you with this task for stability.
- Once the bike is securely positioned, locate the bolt connecting the forks and the high-density foam packing. Remove this bolt carefully.
- Locate the two round blanks on the front wheel’s hub; these are typically friction fit and can be removed by gently pulling them out.
To install the wheel, follow these steps for a smooth and secure attachment:
- Align the brake disc with the brake callipers.
- Insert the axle bolt and proceed to tighten it.
- Ensure that the nut aligns perfectly with the squared opening in the front fork during the tightening process to prevent any potential damage.
Install the pedal shaft and pedals, this is a straightforward process, just ensure that the pedals are aligned at 90 deg to each other and the pedals are attached on the correct sides of the bike.
Congratulations the Lankeleisi RV800Plus is complete, minus any small adjustment needed. Please also recheck all the bolts and fasting’s to ensure they have been tightened, prior to riding.

Thanks to its midframe and front suspension, it can effortlessly absorb bumps, ensuring you have a smooth journey.
Embarking on My First Electric Bike Adventure
As someone who had never experienced an electric bike before, I was eager to embark on this adventure. The bike was initially set in (PAS-1) mode, and I controlled the acceleration using the convenient grip on the right handlebar. To my delight, this mode offered a smooth and comfortable acceleration experience. During my ride, I had the opportunity to test each power assistance mode, ranging from (PAS-1 to 5), and I was pleasantly surprised by how seamlessly the electrical assistance was delivered.
Seamless Gear Shifting
Managing the Shimano gear selection was a breeze, with two levers located on the right side of the handlebars. The inner lever shifts up through the gears, while the outer one shifts down. The gear changes felt as quick and precise as those on a traditional non-electric bike.
Effortless Control Over Power Modes
Controlling the power modes while in motion was effortless. The control pad on the left side of the handlebar responded instantly, allowing me to seamlessly switch between various functions.
Bright LCD Panel for Easy Monitoring
The main LCD panel proved to be a star, offering bright and readable displays in most lighting conditions. Even under the brightest natural light, it remained discernible.
Effortless Uphill Riding
Cruising at a steady speed of 25 km/h was a breeze, thanks to the mechanical gear set in fifth (5th) and the power assistance set to five (5). The bike’s intelligent system automatically adjusted the power output to match the effort required to pedal, making uphill rides feel effortless.
Exceptional Suspension and Traction
The bike’s suspension system effortlessly handled deep ruts while maintaining ride comfort without causing any instability. Kenda tires provided exceptional traction on both roads and rough terrains, including loose gravel. What’s more, the bike operated quietly, with only a faint hum from the Bafang motor during the ride.
Effective Mudguards with a Small Quirk
The included mudguards, though compact, effectively served their purpose. However, it’s worth noting that the rear mudguard occasionally bounced and contacted the back of the seat and the riders behind.
Impressive Brakes for Total Control
Lastly, the bike’s brakes were a standout feature. Requiring no adjustments, they brought the bike to a smooth and controlled stop, even at high speeds. Large, ventilated brake discs and hydraulic pads played a pivotal role in delivering this exceptional braking performance.

- Ensure the correct and specific manual is included with the bike. The absence of a proper manual can lead to unnecessary frustration and time wastage.
- Supply the appropriate battery lead tailored to the destination country. Using adaptors may not be the most ideal solution.
- Utilise galvanised steel for the supplied front light bracket to prevent corrosion and enhance durability.
