How to assemble the handlebar
1. Lift and straighten the handlebar (19) until it is perpendicular to the ground and lock the handlebar stem
safety locking mechanism in place.
2. Insert the loose handlebar (19) into the handlebar stem (22) with the brakes (20) facing outward, and hold
into place in the handlebar stem groove. Then place the handlebar stem top cap on top of the handlebar.
As you screw in the bolts – one on each side of the bar– be sure to leave the same exact spacing between
the handlebar stem and top cap on both sides of the handlebar. There needs to be the same amount of
handlebar showing on both sides, between the handlebar stem and top cap.
NOTE: if there is not an equal amount of space on both sides of handlebar, then the bar can come loose or
threads stripped due to one bolt not being sufficiently long enough when incorrectly installed.
3. When the handlebar is securely in place, tighten both bolts to 6-8Nm using a torque wrench. In addition,
for further safety assurance, tighten handlebar stem bolt to 13-15Nm and bar end bolts to 4-5Nm.
4. To raise or lower the handle bar to match your body shape and riding style, simply release the quick
release on the handlebar stem, raise or lower accordingly, then flip the handlebar stem quick release
securely back into place. Do not raise the bar above the limit lines printed. Doing so will risk your safety.
WARNING
: Make sure that the handlebar fits tightly and securely into the handlebar stem groove
and that there is no movement when firmly pushing/ pulling on the bar. In addition, be sure to push
down on the handlebar to make sure that the handlebar stem quick release is secure. Failure to do
so could result in loss of control of your VOLT and could cause you serious injury.
