Page 8: Assembly Instructions
Assembly Instructions ◆ Handlebar Installation Step 1: Loosen the bolts on your bike stem with 5mm Hex Wrench. Step 2: Center your handlebars and rotate them to align to the marking pointed. Step 3: Tighten bolts to handlebar stem, but don’t tighten completely as you may want to further adjust the angle later to align more p recisely.
Page 9 ◆ Front Wheel Installation Step 1: Remove the screws from the front wheel and place the front wheel in the correct position. Step 2: Make sure the brake disk rotor is centered in the caliper and place the fork on the axle.
Page 10 Step 3: Roll the wheel in between the front fork, as shown in the image below. Align the fork dropouts with the axle of the wheel hub. Ensure the black spacer is close to the wheel hub and the washer is in contact with the nut. Verify also that the dropouts are fully seated on the axle and the brake rotor is properly inserted into the caliper.
Page 11 ◆ Headlight & Front Fender (5mm Hex Wrench ) The headlight and front fender are both secured by a single bolt, so the front fender must be installed together with the headlight. If you prefer not to have a front fender, you may install the headlight by itself. Step 1: Loosen the bolt on the fork brace.
Page 12 Step 3: Pass the headlight mounting bolt through a washer, the headlight mount, the fender mounting point, the fork arch mounting point, a second washer, and thread the locknut onto the bolt end. Use a 5 mm Allen wrench at the bolt head and a 5 mm wrench on the locknut at the bolt end and tighten partway.
Page 13 ◆ Pedals Installation (15mm wrench) Make sure your pedals are installed on the correct side, as installing on the wrong side will damage the threads. Indicators for the right pedal (R) and the left pedal (L) can be found in two places: the stickers on the plast ic cover, and the bottom of the pedal threads. Before you install the pedals, apply a small amount of waterproof grease onto the spindle.
Page 14 ◆ Seat Adjustment Adjust the Seat Height Open the seatpost quick release lever. Adjust the seatpost height by sliding the seatpost up or down to a height appropriate for your leg length and preferred riding position. Do not extend the seatpost beyond the minimum insertion marking etched onto the seatpost. WARNING: Over extending the seatpost can cause it to break or come off your bike, putting you at very high risk of serious injury or death.
Page 15 Adjust the Seat Angle Step 1: Loosen the seat adjustment bolt beneath the seat. Move the seat backward or forward and tilt to adjust the angle within the limit markings etched on the seat rail. Do not exceed the limit markings, to ensure the safety of yourself and the bike. Step 2: Tighten the seat adjustment bolt.
