  • Page 5 Let’s get your bike out of the box. Gently let the handlebar hang from the frame. Carefully lift and rotate the bike, lowering it gently back into the box with the fork overhanging the side of the box. Inside the small box, you’ll find parts essential for assembly, necessary tools, component documentation and manuals.
  • Page 6 Step 1. Install your handlebars. Using the included hex 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. Place the handlebar into the stem and verify the brake hoses and shift cables wrap around the frame cleanly, without visible kinks in the lines.
  • Page 7 Step 2. Install your front wheel. Unthread the thru-axle from the fork and place it on a clean surface. Remove the front brake pad spacer from the brake caliper. Carefully lift the bike out of the box and lower the fork gently onto the ground.
  • Page 8 Step 2. Install your front wheel. When installing the front wheel, ensure the brake rotor is on the same side as the brake caliper on the fork. Lift the front of the bike and roll the front wheel backward into the fork dropouts, making sure the rotor goes in-between the brake pads.
  • Page 9 Step 3. Install your pedals. Pedals are left- and right-specific. Locate the left and right markings on the pedal spindles prior to installation. Locate the bag of grease and carefully insert the threaded portion of the pedal spindle into the bag. Insert the right pedal (marked with R) into the right/drive side crank arm and tighten with your fingers.
  • Page 10 Some final pre-ride checks. Seat Height. Adjust seat height by loosening the seatpost collar. Standing next to the bike, position the saddle so it’s the same height as your hip. Align the saddle with the frame and tighten the seatpost clamp When riding, you should have a slight bend in your knee when the pedal is at the bottom of its rotation.
  • Page 11 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 12 Some final pre-ride checks. Brake Check. Confirm the front and rear brakes engage when the levers are squeezed. The brake lever and handlebar should not come into contact with the brakes fully engaged. Wheel Engagement. Verify the front wheel is securely attached with the 6mm hex wrench.
  • Page 13 Some final pre-ride checks. Charging. Unbox the e-bike charger and remove any additional packaging from the charger itself. Read the instructions included with the charger, then assemble the charger. Open the charge port, located near the head tube at the front of the bike.
