3. Assembly / Getting Started
Before first use
• Unpack this bike , making sure to remove all parts from the packaging carton. The carton staples may be sharp,
take care that you do not hurt yourself when reaching into the carton to remove parts.
• Packaging materials: Keep the original packaging materials in a safe place. It will help prevent any damage if
the product needs to be transported in the future, and you can use it to store the bike when it is not in use. In
the event the carton is to be disposed of, please recycle it where possible.
• Unwrap all parts carefully. If you are using a retractable utility knife or scissors when unwrapping the parts, take
care that you do not scratch the metal parts of the bike or pierce the tires. Remove the plastic covers from the
front wheel nuts, base of the fork and stem pillar.
Plastic wrapping can be a suffocation hazard for babies and young children, so ensure all packaging and
protective materials are out of children's reach and disposed of safely.
• Assembly requirements: The bike comes partially assembled (Fig. 1) and requires full assembly by a bicycle
mechanic or competent person. The stem needs to be
assembled with an M6 Allen key (35-45 Nm) and the
pedals with an M15 wrench (20-26 Nm). A multipurpose tool (containing the tools required for assembly) is
supplied. Other torque requirements for the different
part assemblies are listed on page 6. If you do not
have a torque wrench, for reference 5-10 Nm is only just snug. To achieve approx. 40 Nm, use your index
finger to hold the Allen key, and then turn it using the strength from your whole arm. As soon as your finger
starts to struggle, stop turning. It should feel very solid but should not take your entire body strength to get it
to this point. One mistake people often make is to over-tighten.
• Inspect the cord and plug of the battery charger for damage or wear before each use. Do not use the charger if
it is not working or if its cord is damaged. In case of damage, please contact our customer service team.
• Read all instructions in this manual and make sure you understand all warnings. To familiarise yourself with all the
parts and operating principles of the bicycle, please refer to the Product Overview and the remaining sections in
this manual. Also pay attention to the safety instructions on the previous pages.
