We never rest on our laurels, however, at Tower. For our second act launched in late 2020, the Beach Bum 2 and the Beach Babe, we took a giant leap forward with improved eBike functionality, quality, and safety across the board. We kept asking the question, “How can we make this better? I don’t care what it costs.”...
Assembly Instructions This ebike should be adjusted by a professionally trained bicycle. Most of the critical components on the Beach Bum eBike will come pre-assembled. This includes the rear wheel, motor, gear system, and all cabling. The following steps are the best practices for completing the assembly.

Front Wheel Installation Remove all packaging from the wheel and front fork. Loosen the nuts on the wheel frame axle, so that it can easily fit onto the fork. Insert the wheel into the fork so that the brake rotor slides into the caliper, and the axle fully seats into the forks. Evenly tighten the nuts on the wheel axle to secure the front wheel.
Front Light Installation Loosen and remove the headlight attachment point nut, bolt and washer from the fork. Thread the bolt through the hole on the headlight and secure with the washer and nut. Tighten using a crescent wrench and a M4 hex wrench to ensure a secure fit.
IMPORTANT - Before re-installing your battery, ensure that the battery power switch is turned off and that the battery and controller dock are dry. The universal off symbol is when the “o” is depressed, indicating there is a gap/hole in the connection. The universal on symbol is when the “-”...
You can adjust the angle of the seat on the seat post with a M6 hex wrench, but it is easiest to adjust with the seat removed from the ebike. Adjust, insert the seat post, try it out for fit, then redo as needed until you have a comfortable fit. To check the saddle height, begin by sitting on the saddle.
● Tower Electric Beach Cruisers are not designed for jumping or off-road use. ● The Beach Bum and Beach Babe are pre-governed at 18 mph. This can be adjusted in the advanced settings. See the Tower KD58C LCD manual for instructions on how to remove the speed limit.

- The pressure rating is indicated on the sidewalls of the tires. The Schwalbe Fat Frank tires that come standard on the Beach Bum and Beach Babe have an operational air pressure range of 22-60psi. A higher tire pressure will result in a faster acceleration, while a lower tire pressure will result in a more comfortable ride.
It is important to have a feel for how the brakes respond at different levels of pressure. Pedals The barefoot pedals on the Tower Beach Bum and Beach Babe are specifically designed to be used with or without shoes. Otherwise, they operate the exact same way as a regular bicycle.
