Note:
When working on your bicycle as instructed by this guide, please refer to the torque values chart on the final pages 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 floor 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
1.
Carefully remove the bicycle from the box.
You should have a friend help you with this, as it is heavy. If you are
alone, you can lay the box on its side and gently slide the bike out.
Stand
the bicycle upright on its fork and rear wheel
, supported by the
kickstand
.
2.
Find the parts box and charger box.
Inside the parts box you will find
the tools and components you need to complete this assembly.
At this point you can
begin charging your battery.
The battery is
usually 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 first into the wall
outlet, then into the port on the side of the battery.
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).
Please recycle
packaging materials!
