- Align the kickstand with the mounting plate located between the pedals and rear fender. Ensure that the kickstand is oriented in the correct direction with the feet angled rearward, positioned below the chain.
- Install the kickstand bolt and washers through the mounting plate and into the top of the kickstand bracket. Tighten the bolt by hand.
- Fully tighten the kickstand bolt using the 8mm allen wrench (Required Torque: 30Nm). Deploy the kickstand.
Removing the Remaining Packaging
- Prop the bike on its kickstand. Remove the remaining packaging from the bike, including the corrugate supports at the front and rear wheels.
Installing the Handlebars
Note: Complete the assembly of the handlebar per the steps below. The height of the stem and angle of the handlebars can be adjusted, as needed, based on ride preference. Always retighten bolts to their specified torque values prior to riding.

It is not recommended to ride at night. If riding at night cannot be avoided, ensure that the headlight is always on and functioning correctly while you are riding.
Installing the Front Wheel
Note: Touching the brake rotor or pads with bare skin can result in natural oils transferring to components which can results in reduced braking performance or noisy operation.
- Remove the brake pad spacer from the front caliper before attempting to install the front wheel. While the spacer is removed, do not squeeze the front brake lever as it may damage the brake pads.
- Using a 6mm allen wrench to remove the front through-axle. Note: bike is shipped with an aluminum spacer installed in the fork dropouts to prevent damage during shipment. Remove the spacer and discard.
- Align the wheel to the fork so that the fork dropouts align on the axle. Ensure the wheel is centered on the fork, and the brake rotor is centered in the caliper assembly.
- Starting from the brake side on the fork, install the front through-axle by sliding through the fork and front wheel hub. Tighten by hand.
- Tighten the front through-axle using the 6mm allen wrench (Required Torque: 6-8Nm)
Installing the Steering Spring
-
Locate the steering spring and cover in the tool kit.
-
Pull the spring to hook the other end of the spring around the eyebolt on the frame.
- Note: To gain additional grip on the spring, use the 4mm Allen wrench to hook the open end of the spring.
