4. Setup and Assembly

The EVERCROSS EK6 comes partially assembled. Follow these steps to complete the setup:

1. Unfolding the Bicycle: Carefully remove the bicycle from its packaging. Unfold the frame and secure the locking mechanisms. Ensure all quick-release levers are tightened.
2. Handlebar Installation/Adjustment: Insert the handlebar stem into the fork tube and tighten the clamp. Adjust the handlebar height (106-123 cm) to a comfortable position and secure it.
3. Seat Post and Saddle Adjustment: Insert the seat post into the frame. Adjust the saddle height (87-102 cm) to allow for a slight bend in your knee when the pedal is at its lowest point. Secure the quick-release lever.
4. Pedal Attachment: Identify the left (L) and right (R) pedals. Thread the pedals into the crank arms. The left pedal tightens counter-clockwise, and the right pedal tightens clockwise. Use a wrench to secure them firmly.
5. Battery Installation and Charging:
   • Ensure the battery is fully charged before first use. Connect the charger to the battery and then to a power outlet. The indicator light on the charger will change when fully charged.
   • Slide the charged battery into its compartment under the seat and lock it securely with the key.
6. Tire Inflation: Use the provided inflator to ensure tires are at the recommended pressure (check tire sidewall for details). The EK6 features 20" x 4.0" fat tires.
7. Brake Check: Test both front and rear disc brakes to ensure they engage properly and stop the bike effectively. Adjust if necessary.
