C. Handlebar height and angle
Your eBike is equipped either with a “threadless” stem, which clamps on to the outside of the
steerer tube, or with a “quill” stem, which clamps inside the steerer tube by way of an expanding
binder bolt. If you aren’t absolutely sure which type of stem your eBike has, please contact
BIKE.

or ask your dealer.
WARNING: A quill stem’s Minimum Insertion Mark must not be visible above the top
of the headset. If the stem is extended beyond the Minimum Insertion Mark the stem
may break or damage the fork’s steerer tube, which could cause you to lose control
and fall.
If your Ebike has a “threadless” stem (FIG 8) your dealer may be able to change handlebar height
by moving height adjustment spacers from below the stem to above the stem, or vice versa.
Otherwise, you’ll have to get a stem of different length or rise. Consult your dealer.
Do not attempt to do this yourself, as it requires special knowledge.
If your Ebike has a “quill” stem (FIG 9) Please contact
BIKE.com
at
or call at
1-(877)-755-2453(BIKE)
or ask your dealer for support to adjust the handlebar height a bit by
adjusting stem height. A quill stem has an etched or stamped mark on its shaft that designates
the stem’s “Minimum Insertion” or “Maximum Extension”. This mark must not be visible above
the headset.
WARNING: On some Ebikes, changing the stem or stem height can affect the tension
of the front brake cable, locking the front brake or creating excess cable slack which can
make the front brake inoperable. If the front brake pads move in towards the wheel rim
or out away from the wheel rim when the stem or stem height is changed, the brakes
must be correctly adjusted before you ride the Ebike.
Some Ebikes are equipped with an adjustable angle stem. If your Ebike has an adjustable
angle stem, please, contact
BIKE.com
at
or call at
1-(877)-755-2453(BIKE
) or ask
your dealer for all service to show you how to adjust. Do not attempt to make the adjustment
yourself, as changing stem angle may also require adjustments to the Ebikes controls.
