3.1 Unpacking

1. Carefully remove the bicycle and all components from the packaging.
2. Inspect for any shipping damage. Report any issues immediately.
3. Remove all protective packaging materials.

3.2 Component Assembly

• Handlebars: Attach the handlebars to the stem, ensuring they are centered and tightened securely. Adjust the angle for comfortable riding.
• Front Wheel: Install the front wheel into the fork dropouts. Ensure the quick-release skewer or axle nuts are properly tightened.
