Congratulations!
The
Co-Motion Co-Pilot
equipped with a Pinion gearbox is
an excellent choice for world travel.
These instructions will
help you feel comfortable with packing and assembly of your
new bike. Soon enough you’ll be looking for more destina-
tions to take your bike with you.
Your Co-Pilot bike is designed to fit into a 26 x 26 x 10”
travel case. These dimensions are important because they
fall within the non-oversize bag regulations stipulated by
most airlines, saving you from additional bag fees.
Using our Co-Pilot travel case you will have room for the
complete bike plus some essentials like pedals, tools, cloth-
ing, maps and small bike bags. Keep in mind the Co-Pilot
travel case is designed to meet the airline regulations, there-
fore it won’t have room for racks, panniers or fenders.
Getting Started
The first rule here is to avoid rushing and situate yourself in
an area with enough room for you, the bike and the travel
case. You’ll need the following items, at a minimum, and
your particular setup may require additional tools:
Universal spanner that fits the S&S couplers
A multi-tool or Allen tools in sizes 4mm, 5mm, 6mm
A pedal wrench for your particular pedal type
Torx T25 wrench and Centerlock rotor tool if needed
Some rags or towels to clean up grease
A sharp pair of scissors and paint pen
A bag of zip-ties and Padding kit ready to cut or install
Torque wrench with Allen adapter
If you’re not familiar with bicycle terms, a knowledgeable
friend or bicycle maintenance manual will be helpful.
