SAFETY FIRST
If you are unfamiliar with any aspect of the information included in this manual, it is
recommended that you take your VOLT and this manual to a local bike shop for
inspection, assembly and instructions.
• It is extremely important that you follow the safety guidelines contained in this manual
in order to ensure maximum safety for you as well as maximum durability of your VOLT.
• WARNING: Before you ride your VOLT for the first time, please be absolutely sure that it
has been correctly assembled. You will find step by step instructions in this manual. For
further clarification, you can also visit our website, https://ohwowcycles.com. But if for any
reason you are not completely certain, please bring it to your nearest bicycle shop.
• WARNING: Key assembly steps that must be properly completed with absolute certainty
(to include secure fastening) are pedals, saddle height, handlebar (both rotation and
height) and wheels.
• WARNING: Please ensure all safety latches, including quick releases and rings, are locked
in place and snug without any movement.
• WARNING: Please ensure all bolts (including the front/rear wheels, saddle bolt and brake
rotors) are properly tightened. When securely tightening handlebar bolts, be sure that the
space between handlebar stem and topcap (exposing handlebar) is of even width on
both sides of the handle bar. Failure to do this can lead to stripped bolts, or handlebar
coming loose. Certain components must be tightened to exact specifications using a
torque wrench for safety assurance. Fixed front wheel axlenut: 28-32Nm, Fixed rearwheel
axlenut: 30-35Nm, Handlebar bolts: 6-8Nm, Handlebar stem bolt: 13-15Nm, Barend bolts:
4-5Nm, Saddle bolt: 22Nm.
• If you are unfamiliar with cycling, we suggest that you take a cycling course that
includes safe riding.
• Test your brakes prior to using the VOLT every time. In wet or icy conditions, use extra
caution.
• Frequently check your tire pressures. They should be pumped to 2.0 bar (30 psi).
• Low tire pressures can result in damage to the tires and rims. It can shorten the lifespan
of your VOLT as well as cut your ride short if you suffer from a flat tire. It can also
compromise the handling of your VOLT which can make it more difficult to control.
• We recommend that you always wear a helmet when riding any VOLT.
• Please observe all traffic regulations and other applicable laws, including any lighting
laws.
