ASSEMBLY
General Assembly Instructions:
Each eBike was carefully assembled and strictly checked
before leaving the factory.
When packing, we usually remove the front wheel and handlebar of some eBikes for
safe transportation. However, you can very easily re-install them according to the
guidelines below:
Tools required:
Spanner; Allen key; Screwdriver, etc. As the new owner of one of
our i-cycle eBikes, we have given you a useful tool kit for each model type/ electric
bicycle.
Front wheel:
Put the ends of the front wheel hub in the fork ends and then
tighten the wheel, make sure it’s perfectly aligned and secure. The
quick-release mechanism must be seated squarely and firmly tightened to
ensure safety. Tighten the brake levers in their correct positions.
Handlebar / Stem / Headset
:
The handlebar and stem comes pre-assembled.
Loosen bolts on the stem and insert and turn the handle bar assembly until it
is at right angles with the frame. Align the handlebars so they are
perpendicular to the front wheel. Then use the Allen key to tighten.
Pedals:
The right-hand pedal (marked “R” on the pedal shaft) must be fitted
on the right-hand crank and tightened firmly clockwise. The left pedal
(marked “L”) should be fitted on the left-hand crank and tightened firmly
anticlockwise but not excessively, as the crank threads are made of
aluminium alloy. Use the 15mm spanner.
Seat post:
Insert into the seat tube of the bicycle frame and align. Tighten the
clamps and ensure the seat is firmly fastened.
Important!
Do not adjust the seat post beyond its maximum extension mark!
Brakes:
Brakes are one of the most important safety features on any bicycle. To
minimise the risk of injury, it’s vital to ensure they are correctly adjusted. Where
fitted, ensure that the V-brake blocks are parallel to the rim, and that the
distance between them does not exceed 2mm, and then tighten the brake
mounting bolts. Squeeze brakes to test their responsiveness.
Most of our models come standard with - or have optional
disc brakes
- Check that
the wheels rotate freely without touching the disc pads.
If you have little experience with bicycle maintenance we recommend you get this
done at your local bike shop or our i-cycle workshop near Wellington.
