PIKE/TITIAN ASSEMBLY MANUAL

 

 

TOOLS /SUPPLIES

: Allen Wrenches:    4mm/5mm/6mm   

            Open Wrenches: 1/2” or 13mm, 15 mm or a Pedal Wrench   

Chain Tool , Chain Lube, Lithium Grease 

 

 

These Trikes come partially assembled. We have previously built the entire Trike up and 
adjusted the brakes and derailleurs and then disassembled to fit in the box.    The things 
that need to be done is installing the wheels, brakes , installing the steering bar , putting 
the seat cloth on the seat and attaching it to the frame , adjusting the length of the boom 
and chain, pedals, and inflating the tires.   
 
 

 

NOTES:   

As we continually try to make improvements on our models, some specifications will 
change over time. 
Periodically check all the bolts especially in the first 100 miles   
Check Spokes after riding 50 miles and again after 100 miles. It is common for Stainless 
spokes to be loosen up a little when first riding.   
Most Trikes will need some readjusting after the cables stretch a little.
