- Page 5 Step 1. Install your handlebars. The stem should be pointing forward. Using the included Allen wrench, loosen and remove the bolts and faceplate from the stem. The stem connects the handlebar to the fork. Set the bolts and faceplate aside together, so you don’t lose anything. Insert the handlebar into the stem and loosely reattach the faceplate to the stem.
- Page 6 Step 2. Install your seat post. On the seatpost, locate the minimum insertion line. Insert the seatpost into the frame past this line. Hand-tighten the seatpost collar, so you can’t pull the seatpost from the frame. You will fully tighten this later. Remove any additional packaging from the rear of the bike.

- Page 8 Step 4. Install your front wheel. Completely remove the axle nuts and tabbed washers from the front wheel. Install the hub guards so the tabs are pointed out. Remove the axle spacer from the fork dropouts. Lower the fork dropouts onto the hub axle and rotate the hub guards so the hub guard tab aligns with the channel of the dropout.
- Page 9 Step 4. Install your front wheel. Install the tabbed washers to the axle ends with the tab facing the fork. Rotate the washers so the tabs fall into the hole in each dropout. Hand-tighten the axle nuts to retain the tabbed washers. Use an open-end or adjustable wrench to tighten both axle nuts very firmly.
- Page 10 Step 5. Install your pedals. Install the pedals by turning the pedal spindle in the direction of the front wheel. Insert the right pedal (marked with R on the body and/or spindle) into the crank and tighten with your fingers. Repeat with the left pedal (with an L on it).
- Page 11 Some final pre-ride checks. Torque Bolts. Select the correct bit and install it into the torque wrench. Look for the torque specification markings on the front and back of the stem, as well as the seatpost. If these markings are absent, torque all stem and seat collar bolts to 7 Nm.
- Page 12 Some final pre-ride checks. Twist Check. Secure the front wheel between your legs and turn the handlebar. If the handlebar and wheel move independently, the stem bolts are not tight enough. Use the torque wrench and correct bit to properly torque the bolts. Attempt to rotate the handlebar forward and backward in the stem.
- Page 13 Some final pre-ride checks. Brake Check. Test the coaster brake by spinning the rear wheel, then rotating the pedals backward to engage the brake. The wheel should come to a complete stop. Tire Pressure. Inflate the tires to the manufacturer’s recommended tire pressure, which is marked on the tire sidewall.
