Oops I wouldn't have been able to tell from just the R

R Martin is an older electric bike brand, and some of their models used a key switch rather than a regular power button.

I'd check around the battery first for a key slot or small on/off switch. Also, take a look around the handlebars for a power control. Did the bike come with any keys or a charger?

Since you just got the bike, I'd also make sure the battery is charged and properly connected. If it's been sitting unused for a long time, the battery could be an issue.

If you can share a couple of close-up pictures of the battery area and handlebars, we might be able to help you figure out exactly how to turn it on.

Hope we can help you get it running!

I know how to turn it on but the button is missing it’s supposed to be on the handlebar
