CITY MODEL 1 • VERSION 1
WARNING: Securely clamping the wheel with a cam action retention device takes
considerable force. If you can fully close the cam lever without wrapping your fingers
around the seat stay or chain stay for leverage, the lever does not leave a clear imprint
in the palm of your hand, and the serrations on the wheel fastener do not emboss the
surfaces of the dropouts, the tension is insufficient. Open the lever; turn the tension
adjusting nut clockwise a quarter turn; then try again. See also the first WARNING in this
Section 4.A.
8. If you disengaged the brake quick-release mechanism in 4.A. above, re-engage it to restore
correct brake pad-to-rim clearance.
9. Spin the wheel to make sure that it is centered in the frame and clears the brake pads; then
squeeze the brake lever and make sure that the brakes are operating correctly.
CAUTION: In some cases- an Ebike motor could be incorporated with-in the rear hub.
If this is the case, please show extreme caution and care with removing the rear wheel.
If you are unsure or have doubt, please seek help by contacting us at BIKE.com at

It is very important that you understand the type of wheel securing method on your
Ebike, that you know how to secure the wheels correctly, and that you know how to apply
the correct clamping force that safely secures the wheel.
Please contact BIKE.com at [email protected] or call at 1-(877)-755-2453(BIKE) or ask your
dealer for all service to instruct you in correct wheel removal and installation and ask for
any available manufacturer’s instructions.
B. Seat post cam action clamp
Some Ebikes are equipped with a cam action seat post binder. The seat post cam action binder
works exactly like the traditional wheel cam action fastener (Section 4.A.2). While a cam action
binder looks like a long bolt with a lever on one end and a nut on the other, the binder uses an
over-center cam action to firmly clamp the seat post (see FIG 10.A & 10.B).
WARNING: Riding with an improperly tightened seat post can allow the saddle to turn
or move and cause you to lose control and fall. Therefore:
1. Please contact BIKE.com at [email protected] or call at 1-(877)-755-2453(BIKE)
or ask your dealer for all service to help you make sure you know how to correctly
clamp your seat post.
2. Understand and apply the correct technique for clamping your seat post.
3. Before you ride the Ebike, first check that the seat post is securely clamped.
