Your Phantom X2 includes a thumb lever bell for you to use to warn other people around you when approaching. The thumb lever
bell can be moved to a more comfortable position if the factory setting is unsatisfactory (you will need to use the Philips screw
driver included with your multi-piece tool kit). On the underside of the bell handlebar clamp there is a small Philips screw. Using the
Philips screw driver, turn the screw counter clockwise 4 rotations to loosen the clamp. This will allow the bell to be moved. Move
the bell to the desired position and using your Philips screw driver, tighten the clamp screw by turning clockwise until tight.

Brake lever adjustments
The preferred level of the brake lever assemblies will vary from rider to rider. The brake lever
assemblies can be rotated to a desired riding position. The optimal position can be found by
extending your fingers straight while sitting in the saddle. Your fingers, when extended
straight, should rest on top of the levers or slightly above the levers.
The brake lever assemblies have the clamp bolt accessible from the top of the bracket. Using
the 4mm hex key, loosen the brake lever assembly by turning the hex bolt counter clock wise
3 full turns. The lever assembly will now be loose and you can rotate it up or down to
establish the preferred position to apply the brakes while riding. The brake lever assembly on
the right side of the handlebar may require the throttle clamp to be loosened to allow the
brake lever assembly to rotate. The brake lever assembly and throttle mount together and at
a certain point of rotation, one will not rotate further without the other requiring to be rotated. A
compromise may be required when attempting to align the brake levers and establishing the
preferred throttle position. The optimum position to set your brake levers at depends on your
riding position but it should be the extension of your arm. Your brake lever should be located
at the point where your fingers extend straight out from your arms. Upon finding preferred
brake lever height, tighten hex bolt using 4mm key.
Brake lever clamp bolts should be
tightened to 80 lb*in.

Suspension fork adjustment
The Phantom X2 uses a dual pre-
load adjustable suspension fork. The fork’s dual
adjustment offers either a softer of firmer ride for smoothing out the bumps in your path.
The pre-load can be adjusted according to your weight and liking. You can easily adjust
the suspension performance by rotating the knobs at the top of each leg at the crown.
Chapter 6: Tire, Tube, Wheel and Axle Repair
The Phantom X2 was designed for ease of servicing. Repairs are no more difficult than on a traditional bicycle. Any
neighborhood bicycle shop should be able to repair a flat, change a tire or replace a wheel. Please review the following
chapter on how to remove and replace the front and rear wheel of your Phantom X2.
a)
Removing the rear motor wheel
The wheel incorporates a motor wire quick disconnect for removing the wheel. To remove the wheel following these
instructions, it will only take a few minutes. Read the instructions fully before first attempting to remove the wheel.
Prior to removing the wheel, shift the bicycle into gear 7 or 8 (the small COG/sprocket on the rear cassette.
It will be easy to remove the wheel if the chain is at the end of the cassette. Make sure to spin the crank
while shifting gears.
Next, turn the battery ignition key
to the ―UNLOCK‖ position and remove the battery.
To work on your bicycle, it may be easier to turn the bicycle upside down by placing blankets on the ground
and resting the bicycle on the saddle and handlebar.
Locate the motor disconnect weather proof plug on the left side of the bike frame 6 inches from the motor
axle and separate the connector.
Locate the cable tie which ties the motor wire to the frame. Cut the cable tie with snips.
On each axle nut there is a rubber nut protector, remove these protectors simply by pulling on them. On the
wired side of the axle, slide the rubber protector up the wire only a few inches.
Using a wrench, turn counter clockwise each axle nut until the axle washers are loose.
Remove the wheel from the frame by pulling on the wheel.
The 8 speed freewheel mounted to the motor can be slid out away from the chain with no issue. The spring of
derailleur may cause the lower pulley to get in the way of removing the wheel. Simply pull the pulley out of the way.
