Note: When working on your bicycle as instructed by this guide, please refer to the torque values chart in your owner’s manual for detailed torque
requirements. Under- or over-tightened components may loosen or break, causing a fall.
Steps in this guide that call for the use of bicycle grease do so in the interest of keeping your bicycle in working condition for as long as possible. Grease
is not absolutely vital to the assembly of this product, but failure to apply it as directed could cause parts to seize over time and irreparably damage the
frame or components.
Because bicycle parts tend to be greasy, it is recommended that you lay down a tarp or sheet to protect your oor if assembling the bike indoors.
It is best to remove the protective packaging during the assembly process only as needed, leaving some intact to protect the bike during assembly.
During assembly it may be helpful to reference the photos on the cover of this guide and on the bicycle box if you are unsure of any steps.
Please take the time to read the battery care and storage section of your manual for useful information on prolonging the life of your battery.
Assembly Tools
Unpacking and Preparation
Handlebars and Stem
1. Carefully remove the bicycle from the box. You should have a
friend help you with this, as the bike is heavy. If you are alone, you can lay
the box on its side and gently slide the bike out.

3. Cut the zip-ties holding the front wheel to the bike frame. Set the
wheel aside for now.
4. Rotate the fork so the brake faces away from the frame, then rest the bike
upright on its rear wheel and fork, as shown in gure A. When rotating the fork, be
sure the cables run in front of the frame and do not wrap around the fork or head tube.
5. Find the stem in the parts box (gure C). Remove the protective
caps from the stem and head tube, then insert the stem into the bike’s
head tube facing away from the frame. Remove the faceplate by removing
the two or four faceplate bolts (depending on model) shown in gure D.
2. At this point you can begin charging your
battery. The battery is packaged in a brown cardboard
box underneath the bike. The charger is in a small
white box, usually rubber-banded to the rack.
Recommend charge time is 6-8 hours. Plug the charger
rst into the wall outlet, then into the port underneath
the battery handle (gure B).
A solid red or blinking green light on the charger
(depending on model) indicates the battery is charging
properly. A solid green light indicates that the charger
has entered trickle charge mode, and your battery is at
least 80% full. For maximum range, please charge for
the full recommended time period (6-8 hours).

6. Cut the zip-ties securing the handlebar to the bike frame, arrange the brake and
shifter cables so they run in front of the bicycle, then clamp the handlebars to the stem
using the faceplate as shown in photo E. The bars should be rotated to a comfortable gripping
position with comfortable access to the brake levers, and centered around the stem. Be sure
to tighten the faceplate bolts evenly so the top and bottom gaps are equal.

7. Align the stem so it is facing forward in relation to the fork (gure F), then
tighten the wedge bolt securely. Be sure that the fork is rotated with the brakes facing
forward, and that no cables are tangled around it! Refer to the photos on the cover of this
manual for proper cable routing. It is extremely important that you properly tighten the
wedge bolt. Leaving this bolt too loose can result in the handlebars turning away from the
wheel, causing a crash.
8. If not already installed, attach the square white reector to the handlebar using
a Phillips-head screwdriver.
