Shimano key. The serial number is directly beneath the bar code next to "Frame No:". For the Stoker, this will start with STK. The key number is the directly beneath the bar...
Page 5
Open the box and inspect the contents and again look for any signs of shipping damage.
Page 6
Remove and set aside: - the small parts box - the KickBack 3 - front wheel and fender - u-tubes - saddle with post.
Page 7
If you have a stand, please secure the bike to the stand, otherwise with a friend, lift the bike out of the box and set it on your work surface.
CHARGE THE BATTERY Remove the battery keys secured to the handlebars.
Page 9
Unlock your battery and remove it by rotating it away from the bike.
Page 10
Find the battery charger and domestic power cable in the small parts box. Locate the charging port on the drive side of the battery. Pull back the rubber cover and plug in the charging cable.
Page 11
Make sure the charge indicator lights begin to blink green. A full charge will take a few hours but you will be able to use the battery with a partial charge by the time you are done setting up your bike.
Page 12
Install the KickBack 3 Remove the KickBack3 packaging and locate the included hardware kit consisting of two U-bolts, a rectangular mounting plate, four M6 washers & nuts, and an M5 set-screw.
Page 13
Under your bike find the kickstand mounting shelf and the threaded set-screw hole.
Page 14
Rest the back of the kickstand mounting plate on the mounting shelf and use a 3 mm Allen wrench to thread the M5 set screw in order to hold the kickstand in place.
Page 15
Install the first U-bolt on the drive side of the bike. Fit an M6 washer and nut onto the forward threads, until just finger-tight. Place another washer and nut on the other end of the U-bolt, and secure both nuts with a 10 mm socket tool, being mindful to tighten each end of the U-bolt evenly.
Page 16
Place the second U-Bolt on the non-drive side and position the small mounting mounting plate in place on the forward threads. Secure it with an M6 washer and nut. Secure the other end of the U-bolt with the remaining M6 washer and nut.
Page 17
Go back to all four nuts and tighten everything with the 10 mm socket tool.
Page 18
Install the front fender Carefully lift the front of the bike and deploy the kickstand. * You may want to add something weighted to the rear rack to keep the bike from tipping forward.
Page 19
Remove the thru axle with a 6mm hex wrench.
Page 20
The hardware for you fender is already installed in your fork. Please remove the M6 nyloc nut and L-bracket.
Page 21
Install your fender using the M6 bolt already in the fork. The order should be fender tab, L-bracket, washer, M6 nyloc.
Page 22
Usa a 4 mm Allen wrench to attach the outer support arms of the fender to the lower forkmounting points with the two M5 bolts.
Page 23
INSTALLING THE FRONT LIGHT Before you mount the light to the fender we have found that removing the light tab produces a more secure and stable lighting experience.
Page 24
REMOVAL OF THE LIGHT TAB Use a 1/4" drill bit to drill out the rivet from the underside of the fender. You'll only need to drill enough of the rivet to pop it out, though drilling all the way through is fine.
Page 25
Once the rivets are removed the tab should be free and you can discard it. Your fender should now look like this.
Page 26
You will be attaching the light through the forwardmost rivet hole. To receive the bolt, you can either drill out that hole a little bigger or use the bolt to open it up a little. Insert M6 bolt through the hole.
Page 27
Before you mount the light to the fender you should flip/rotate the piece of the light mount that attaches to the fender to look like the image here.
Page 28
Now you'll attach the light mount to the M6 bolt in the fender and secure with an M6 nyloc nut. Use a 5mm Allen wrench from the underside of the fender to tighten the bolt and nut securing your front light to your fender.
Page 29
Once the light is secure you're going to reconnect the connectors (from fender to light - red to black; black to black with gray stripe).
Page 30
Now you'll need to connect the light wires from the frame to the fender (red to red and black to black).
Page 31
Adjust your light position angle that fits your riding needs best. Secure the two mount joints with a 4mm Allen.
Page 32
INSTALLING YOUR FRONT WHEEL Remove the disc brake-pad spacer in your front brake caliper.
Page 33
Remove the packaging from the front wheel.
Page 34
**DOUBLE CHECK** Double check that the hub cap is not stuck to the plastic disc.
Page 35
Rotate your front wheel into position. Be mindful to seat the disc brake rotor neatly between the brake pads.
Page 36
Re-insert your thru-axel, and tighten with a 6 mm Allen wrench.
Page 37
INSTALL THE STABILIZER Locate the following hardware in the small parts box: eyebolt, flange nut, StabilizerSpring, and spring sleeve.
Page 38
Fully thread the eye-bolt through the flange nut.
Page 39
Thread the bolt through the threaded boss on the downtube. Tighten with a 8mm wrench, adjusting the eye bolt so it is aligned perpendicular to the bike.
Page 40
Hook the StabilizerSpring to the L-bracket on the fork.
Page 41
Use an Allen wrench or screwdriver to pull the other end through the eye-bolt.
Page 42
Slide the spring sleeve over the StabilizerSpring.
Install the pedals Apply a small amount of grease to the threads on each pedal, marked Left and Right.
Page 44
With the right pedal, start threading the pedal bolt into the crank arm. Once initially threaded you can backpedal while holding the pedal bolt in place. The left pedal has a reverse thread so you will need to turn the pedal bolt counter clockwise to tighten it. Use a 15 mm pedal wrench to tighten the pedals.
Install handlebars Remove your top cap and remove the cardboard spacer from fork steerer. Install your stem with your handlebars forward and the shifter on the drive side of the bike. Thread your topcap and secure until just before snug.
Adjust handlebars Remove the rubber plug on the top-cap, and use a 5mm Allen wrench to loosen the bolt. Use a 4 mm Allen wrench to loosen the two bolts holding your handlebar stem in place.
Page 49
Align your handlebars with your front wheel. Re-tighten the two stem bolts, and the top-cap bolt and replace the rubber plug.
Page 50
Use a 4 mm Allen to loosen the faceplate on the front of your stem, and center the positioning target. Then retighten the faceplate.
Page 51
Use a 3 mm Allen wrench to loosen the paddle grips. Reposition them so they are level with the ground. Then retighten them.
Page 52
Use the provided Shimano lead-connector tool from the small parts box to insert the display cable into the small port under the display. You should feel a securing click when the connection is made.
Page 53
Replace your battery by sliding it into the cradle and rotating towards the bike frame until it clicks into place.
Page 54
Install the U-Tubes Before installing the U-Tubes, please note that the rear insertion end on each U-Tube is slightly longer than the insertion end on the front end of the U-Tube. Front insertion Rear insertion...
Page 55
Determine if you would like to have the U-tubes installed in the wide setting (shown on the left side of the bike pictured below) or the narrow setting (shown on the right side). In the wide setting, the U-tubes will extend 6"...
Page 56
The U-tubes should easily slide into the mounting holes. But it is possible an adjustment will be needed if the fit the alignment is not perfect. If no adjustment is needed skip to step 62.
Page 57
Four bolts secure the tailpiece in place. Loosen these four bolts using a 10 mm socket wrench and a 5 mm Allen wrench.
Page 58
Push or pull the tailpiece into a place where you can easily insert the U-tube. Do not tighten the tailpiece yet.
Page 59
Insert the U-tube into the frame, pushing in on the spring pin button so that the button slides into the frame as well. Insert the U-tube far enough for the spring pin to pop out into the hole on the bike frame. (Optional: You can apply grease to the portion of the U-tube being inserted.)
Page 60
Insert the remaining U-Tube on the other side of the frame.
Page 61
If you loosened the tailpiece to install the U-tubes, tighten the tailpiece into place.
Page 62
