SETTING UP YOUR EBIKE 7
Miller SE EBIKE USER MANUAL
Crank arms are quite sensitive because they’re made of
an alloy material and the pedal bolt of hardened steel,
and it doesn’t take much for them to be damaged.
Two common ways they can be damaged during instal-
lation are through cross-threading (installation at an in-
correct angle) and over tightening.
To avoid cross-threading, it’s best to install the pedal
carefully by hand. When the pedal is in the correct po-
sition for installation (the pedal is positioned perpen-
dicular to the face of the crank arm), it should be easy
to screw in by hand. If you meet resistance back all the
way out (rotate the bolt in the reverse direction) immedi-
ately to avoid damage caused by cross threading.
While they should be tightened a little more than hand
tight, tightening with any more than 30lbs ft will cause
the threads to strip. This is where the threads of the
crank arm are pulled so tightly towards the pedal that
they break away from the crank arm itself.
To install the right pedal, find the pedal labelled “R” and
place one of the supplied washers on.
Next, locate the right side crank and attach the pedal to
the arm by threading in a clockwise motion.
To install the left side pedal, locate the pedal labelled
“L”, install the other supplied washer, then attach to the
left side crank arm by threading in an anti-clockwise
motion.
Your Miller SE ebike ships with the pedals detached.
Each pedal is labelled according to the side of the bike
they belong on. “R” for right, and “L” for left.
