ASSEMBLY
NOTICE: The following assembly steps are only a general guide to assist in the assembly of your e-JOE Bike and are not a complete or comprehensive
manual of all aspects of assembly, maintenance, and repair. We recommend you consult a certified bicycle mechanic to assist in the assembly, repair,
and maintenance of your bicycle.
EPIK SWAN is shipped 98% assembled. To fully assemble the bike and prepare it for the first use, follow these steps:
STEP 1: UNPACK
•
Place the box on the floor as per “This Side Up” sign on the side of the box.
•
Prepare the following tools: scissors/cutter, adjustable wrench, and hex key set.
•
Open the box by cutting protective tape or straps. If the box has staples on the top fold, be cautious when opening
as they may be sharp.
•
Remove the bike out of the box by holding onto the frame (in case the bike is too heavy to pull out of the box, ask
someone for assistance).
•
Stand the main body of the electric bike on a kickstand.
•
Remove all protective material. Be extra careful when working with the scissors/cutter to avoid scratches.
NOTE: Do not discard the box or any shipping material until you test the bike and make sure it is in good working order.
STEP 2: INSTAL HANDLEBAR & SEAT
With the bike resting on the kickstand, unfold the folding pipe and lock it as shown on page 11
.
Make sure the folding pipe
locking lever is tightened, and the safety clip ring is in place.
Follow instructions on page 10 to adjust the handlebar position and height. Adjust the seat height. Make sure the quick-
release clamps are properly tightened.
STEP 3: INSTALL PEDALS & INFLATE TIRES
To attach pedals, begin by identifying the right and left pedals. Look for “L” and “R”
marking on the axles, wrench flats, or stickers. If you do not see “L” and “R” markings,
use pedal thread direction to identify pedals. Left threaded pedals (threads sloping
upward to the left) go to the left crank. Right threaded pedals (threads sloping upward to
the right) go to the right crank. See the image if in doubt (Left: left-hand threads on the
left pedal. Right: right-hand threads on the right pedal).
Be sure to grease the pedal threads before installation. Choose the appropriate pedal
and start it into the correct crank arm by hand turning the pedal axle toward the front of the bike (both pedals thread in this
direction). If it does not start, do not force it! You are probably trying to install the left pedal on the right side or vice versa.
Thread both pedals into the crank arms as far as you can by hand. Then fully tighten them with a wrench, so they do not
loosen from pedal pressure. Be careful NOT to overtighten the pedals as it may cause difficulties with their removal in the
future.
Inflate the tires to the proper pressure. You can find the information about the required tire pressure level on the side of each
tire. Make sure to check the pressure before each ride as low tire pressure results in damage to the tires and massively
reduces speed and range.
