2.2 Handlebar Attachment
Attach the handlebars to the stem. Ensure the small round rubber seal is correctly placed at the base of the stem before tightening the handlebars. Tighten all bolts securely for safe operation.
2.3 Front Wheel Installation
Install the front wheel. Pay close attention to the axle orientation; the quick-release lever should be on the non-drive side (left side of the bike when seated). Ensure the disc brake rotor is correctly aligned with the caliper.
2.4 Pedal Installation
The pedals are bi-directional. The left pedal has a left-hand thread, and the right pedal has a right-hand thread. Ensure you attach the correct pedal to the corresponding crank arm to prevent damage and ensure secure attachment.
2.5 Tire Inflation
Inflate the 20"x4.0" fat tires to the recommended pressure. The maximum inflation pressure is 20 PSI. Adjust pressure based on riding conditions and desired comfort, keeping in mind lower pressures offer more cushion and grip on soft terrain, while higher pressures provide a faster ride on paved surfaces.
