Unpacking and assembly
15 Unpacking
Your e-bike was subjected to an all-encompassing quality control after
completion. For transport, the handlebars were brought into the transport
position and the pedals were removed.
The handlebars must be adjusted and the pedals fitted before the first use.
If you purchased your Schindelhauer e-bike through one of our dealers, the
steps in this section are already completed.
If you carry out the assembly yourself, it is imperative that you observe the
notes on the tightening torques
⇨ section “Tightening torques” page 177 .
Your e-bike was delivered in solid cardboard box.
There are instructions for carriers that the cardboard box
must always be transported with the arrows pointing
upwards. Check whether you can see any transport marks
(dirt, scratches) on the cardboard cover that indicate an
upside down transport.
• Make sure that the arrows on the box are pointing upwards. If there is
any indication of incorrect transport, contact “Schindelhauer Bikes” or
your specialist dealer to have certain components checked.
• Remove your e-bike upwards from the cardboard box. If necessary, ask
a second person for help to lift the e-bike out of the cardboard box.
Due to their design, e-bikes weigh more than bikes without electrical
assistance.
• Carefully remove all padding and packaging material from the e-bike.
• Check the scope of delivery for your model for completeness

16 Straightening the handlebars
NOTE
Risk of damage!
Excessive tightening of the adjusting screw on the A-head cap, screw
1
(fig. 2), can damage the headset bearing and have a negative effect
on steering behaviour.
» The bearing play is adjusted with the screw 1 (fig. 2). Tighten the
screw only so firmly that the bearing play is minimised and the screw
does not loosen by itself.
1. Loosen screws 1 and 2 on the stem (fig. 2).
2. Turn the handlebars to the “straight-ahead position”; the stem and front
wheel must be aligned.
3. Adjust the bearing clearance or bearing preload. Tighten the screw 1
(approx. 1-2 Nm).
4. Check the adjusted bearing clearance. To check the bearing clearance,
wiggle the e-bike back and forth with the front brake applied. If the
frame and fork move visibly, audibly or noticeably against each other,
tighten the screw 1 somewhat tighter to minimise play. A correctly
adjusted headset bearing does not rattle and can be turned smoothly.
5. Tighten the screw 2 (15 Nm).

17 Removing the protective cover from the
handlebars
!
WARNING
Risk of accident and injury!
Never cycle with the protective cover on the handlebars. The handle-
bars can twist while cycling.
» Remove the protective cover of the handlebars before the first ride.
Remove any protective cover from the handlebars before riding.
1. Unscrew the screws on the stem cap and remove the stem cap (fig. 3).
2. Remove the handlebars carefully towards the front. On models with
LightSKIN handlebars, be careful not to damage the wiring.
3. Cut and remove the protective cover from the handlebars.
4. Apply some assembly paste to the clamping areas of the stem body
and cap (fig. 4).
5. Insert the handlebars in the middle of the stem, place the cover cap and
tighten the screws.
6. Tighten the four screws of the stem cap alternately so that there is an
even gap between stem cap and stem body (fig. 5).
7. Tighten the screws (5-6 Nm).
Models with LightSKIN handlebars
• After removing the protective cover of the handlebars, make sure to
check the adjustment of the lighting ⇨ chap. 29 “Lighting” on page
147.
The brake grips are premounted and screwed in for transport
reasons. Adjust the handlebar and brake lever inclination
as desired
⇨ section “Basic settings and ergonomic
adjustments” page 131 .
