Assembly Video

Assembling with the help of the video guide is the recommended method to reduce questions or issues with assembly.

Preassembly tips and advice

• If you are uncomfortable with bike mechanics, it is best to have it assembled by a bike shop or expert.
• Carefully remove ONLY the packing zip ties, do not cut any wires, cables, or zip ties that are used to route wires.
• There is a plastic spacer supporting the front brake caliper between the brake pad area. Note that squeezing the brake lever without the spacer or bike rotor installed will clamp the pistons closed. It is recommended to save the spacer to use anytime you remove the front wheel.
• Avoid touching the brake rotors with your fingers. The natural oil present on your hands will contaminate the rotors, reduce braking efficacy and create a loud whining pitch when braking.
• Apply grease to the pedal threads and seat post before installation
• Make sure your fork is not backwards. The brake caliper and rotor should be on the left (in rider orientation)

Assembly Basics

• Crank Arms

  - Ensure the crank arms are facing opposite directions from each other in a 180° orientation. Do not tighten the crank bolt until you are certain they are in proper positioning. A specialized tool is required to remove the crank once installed.
  
  

• Left Pedal

  - The left pedal is reverse threaded and must be installed on the left side of the bike (without chainring). To install it, properly align in the left crank insert and rotate counterclockwise by hand. If threaded correctly, it will not require any force to hand tighten. Once hand tight, use a wrench on the flat edge of the pedal insert to tighten fully.
  
  

• Right Pedal

  - The right pedal is standard threaded and must be installed on the right side of the bike (with chainring). To install it, properly align in the left crank insert and rotate counterclockwise by hand. If threaded correctly, it will not require any force to hand tighten. Once hand tight, use a wrench on the flat edge of the pedal insert to tighten fully.
  
  

• Cable Routing

  - Before installing your fork inspect the wire and cable routing, and match the orientation as shown in the video. The wires should not cross over or you will damage the electrical components of your new bike.
  
  

• Fork

  - Ensure the fork is oriented correctly before installing the tire. The brake caliper mount will be on the left side of the bike (without chainring)
  
  

• Handlebars

  - You will need to orient the handlebars before installing. The display and throttle will be on the left side (without chainring) and the shifter on the right side (with chainring).
  
  

• Brake Levers

  - The levers should be facing forward and angled slightly towards the ground in order to comfortably squeeze them while maintaining good grip and control on handle bars while riding.
  
  

Post Assembly Tuning and Safety Check

• Index your derailleur and verify hanger is straight

  - Failure to index your derailleur and set the limit screws may cause damage to your rear wheel, motor cable, motor, derailleur, or derailleur hanger.
• Ensure your brakes are adjusted and bedded- Brake calipers must be adjusted to perform up to specification. Note that new brake pads need to go through the bedding process and may make noise when braking until bedded.

• Double check your cable routing

  - Matching cable routing as shown in the assembly video will reduce stress on wiring and avoid out-of-warranty damage to your ebike components

• Adjust your fenders

  - Rubbing fenders is can be an annoyance. Adjusting your fenders will ensure no noises or contact with the tire during operation. Front: ensure the top support bracket that shares the headlight bolt is straight and the fender is far enough from the tire, which also requires the fender support arms to be adjusted properly. Rear: the rear rack does most of the supporting of the rear fender, so no adjustment should be necessary. If your rear fender is grossly misaligned and/or rubbing on the rear tire, please contact support.

• Cafe Cruiser Display

  - We recommend sensitivity 4 for the smoothest pedal assist. 
  1. Press and hold "+" & "-" to enter settings. 
  2. Press and hold "+" & "-" again, to enter advanced settings.
  3. Press the "-" button 3x until you see PAs.
  4. Press the middle button 2x until you see SCN-#. 
  5. If the #=4, you can skip step 6.
  6. If not, adjust to 4 by pressing the "+" or "-" button until it is 4. 
  7. Then press and hold the "-" button to exit SCN.
  8. Then press and hold the middle button to exit.
