Assembly Steps
Step 1: Remove the Dash Display
Gently pull the LED display out from its enclosure within the handlebar. Be careful not to damage any cables.
Tool required: 2.5mm Allen key
Remove the screw from under the LED display using the 2.5mm Allen key. Set aside the screw for use in step 11.
Tip: If the LED display doesn't pull out easily, use the 2.5mm Allen key to gently push it out through the screw hole from the back of the handlebar.
Parts: Retrieve 2.5mm Allen screw
Step 2: Prepare the Handlebar Stem
Remove the hex bolt, cap, and cardboard tube from the handlebar stem.
Tool required: Y-wrench 5mm
Remove the hex bolt screw from the cardboard tube. Set aside the hex bolt for use in step 5.
Discard the cardboard tube and the black cap.
Parts: Set aside Hex bolt
Step 3: Align the Front Fork
Before mounting the handlebars, align the front fork with the frame so it faces forward. The front brake assembly should be on the rider's left side, aligned with the kickstand.
Ensure cables are clear and do not restrict steering motion.
Step 4: Attach the Handlebars
Place the handlebar over the handlebar stem and insert the hex bolt (from step 2) through the handlebar.
Tool required: Y-wrench 5mm
Using the 5mm end of the Y-wrench, gently tighten the hex bolt to remove play between the fork and frame.
Parts: Retrieve Hex bolt
Step 5: Secure the Handlebars
Tighten the two steering stem screws located under the handlebars using the 5mm end of the Y-wrench until they are securely in place.
Tool required: Y-wrench 5mm
Step 6: Install the Front Wheel
Attach the front wheel to the fork.
Remove and discard the black fork protector from the bottom of the fork.
Insert the front wheel axle into the fork slots. Ensure the brake rotor is aligned to fit inside the front disc brake.
Install washers (serrated side in) and cap nuts onto the outsides of the fork. Tighten them using the 15mm wrench until secure.
Tool required: Wrench 15mm
Parts required: Cap nut and washer x2
Correct tire pressure: 3.5-5.6 bar.
Step 7: Attach the Front Fender
Attach the front fender to the fork.
Using the 4mm end of the Y-wrench, remove the two screws attached to the back of the fork.
Re-insert these screws through the holes at the end of the fender-support bracket to secure them to the fork.
Using the 4mm end of the Y-wrench, remove the screw from the top rear of the fork.
Re-insert this screw through the fender mount bracket on top of the fender and secure it tightly to the back of the fork.
Tool required: Y-wrench 4mm
Tip: Ensure the fender is parallel to the wheel to prevent contact during rotation.
Step 8: Install the Seat and Adjust Height
Remove the soft rubber cap located on the frame just below the seat column to reveal the seat clamp screw.
Use the 5mm end of the Y-wrench to loosen the seat clamp screw. Adjust the seat post to the preferred height. Once positioned, tighten the seat clamp screw until secure and return the rubber cap to the frame.
Tool required: Y-wrench 5mm
Do not extend the seat post farther than the minimum insertion line indicated on the seat post.
Step 9: Install the Pedals
Attach the pedals.
Screw the left pedal marked "L" counter-clockwise by hand (it is reverse threaded).
Screw the right pedal marked "R" clockwise.
Tighten both pedals with the 15mm wrench.
Illustration description: Pedals are marked with "L" or "R" on the bolt end and inside, indicating the correct side (left or right).
Tool required: Wrench 15mm
Step 10: Reinstall the LED Display
Place the display back into the handlebar enclosure. Be careful not to pinch the cables.
Tool required: 2.5mm Allen key
Use the 2.5mm Allen key to reinstall the screw previously removed in step 1, from under the display, ensuring it sits flush inside the handlebar enclosure.
Parts: Retrieve 2.5mm Allen screw
Connect the end of the power cable coming from the bottom of the display to the power cable coming out of the bottom of the frame. Carefully align the arrows on the cables.
Step 11: Charge Battery
Connect the charger using the included power supply to the charging port on the battery (located below the +/- rubber flap).
When fully charged, a green light on the power supply indicates completion. The battery can be charged on the bike or removed for charging.
Please allow 4-6 hours to fully charge your bike.
Tip: Use keys to unlock and charge battery.
Step 12: Install Reflectors
Rear reflector (red): Wrap the bracket around the seat post. Secure with a flathead screwdriver. Position facing rearward.
Front reflector (white): Wrap the bracket around the handlebar near the stem. Secure with a flathead screwdriver. Position facing forward.
Wheel reflectors: Wrap the bracket around any wheel spoke. Secure with a flathead screwdriver.
