Two keys are supplied to unlock and lock the battery. 1.
- Page 13 ACTION: Set aside the top half of the fork and the front wheel, remove both from their packaging. ACTION: Inflate both the front and rear tires. Use this diagram as a guide to help you seat the bead of the tire properly onto the lip of the rim.
- Page 14 ACTION: Inflate the tires Tires must be inflated with a pump with a Schrader valve tip with a recommended pressure of between 20 and 30 psi (1.37 and 2 bars). The maximum pressure is 35 psi / 2.41 bar. Check the condition of the tires and rims for damage, cracks or deformation.
- Page 15 Be sure to take attention to the directional arrow on the rotor. This arrow should be pointed in the same direction as the wheel spins during operation. ACTION: Loosen the front wheel axle nuts in preparation for installation.
- Page 16 ACTION: If your bike has hydraulic brakes, remove the brake pad spacer before attaching the front wheel. Insert the front axle into the front dropouts. Make notice of the front rotor, as it has to seat properly into the front brake caliper. The washer should be on the inside of the frame, between the inner hex nut and the frame.

ACTION: Lift the rear end of the bike, pivoting it on the kickstand. This will help prevent separation of the headset components during the next step.
- Page 19 ACTION: Remove (B) steer tube bolt and (L) steer tube spacers. Hold the bottom of the tube to keep the parts from separating. Have a second person help to lift the rear end of the frame to keep the headset pieces in place. Keep a hand under the steering tube so that the assembly stays in place.
- Page 20 ACTION: Insert the handle bars/upper fork half into the lower fork half. A little wiggling of the fork is necessary as this is a precise and tight fit. This is the part of the assembly that can be fairly diffi- cult and a little force is required.
