pedaLS
All bicycles (electric bikes included) have left and right side pedals. Make sure you identify
each one. This image shows how to identify each pedal. You can see the ‘R’ written on
this pedal, denoting this is the right side pedal, to be used on the right side of the bike (if
you were sitting on the bike).
Pedal sides are denoted with ‘L‘ and ‘R‘ as shown circled red in above photo
The right side pedal mounts to the right side crank (if you were sitting on the bike) and
left side pedal on the left crank. The right side pedal is a right hand thread, it will tighten
by turning clockwise (normal). The left side pedal is a left hand thread and will tighten
by turning anticlockwise (opposite normal). It is essential not to confuse which pedal is
used where and not to cross thread the pedal. If it feels too tight, you might have made a
mistake.
The pedals are designed this way so that the act of pedaling (while riding) does not
loosen the pedals over time.
Screw in the pedals as described above for both left and right. Depending on the type of pedal
they can be tightened using an allen key on the inside as shown above or by tightening with a
spanner inbetween the pedal and the crank (model dependant).
To install the rear mudguard onto the bike follow the steps laid out below.
1. Insert the mudguard up the seat post
2. Align the mudguard with the read of the seat
3. Tighten the mudguard to the seat post using a phillips head screwdriver.
Unassembled mudguard
Slide mudguard up the seat post (1) and align the mudguard such that it is pointing out of the
rear of the seat (2). Then tighten to seat post using a phillips head screw driver (3).
