VIII. ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
2. Loosen the seatpost clamp; confirm it is oriented with the slot facing
towards the front of the bike.
3. Insert the post—at a minimum—75mm deep into the seat tube. You can
fine-tune the height of the seatpost once you’re ready to fit the bike to
your body.
4. Tighten the seat post clamp to its designated torque specification (p.75).
5. If you have a bike stand, clamp the seatpost in the stand for easier
assembly.
6. Install the included saddle to the seatpost and tighten the rail binder bolt
to the torque specification.
C. DISLODGING THE FRONT WHEEL:
1. Locate and remove any packaging and zip ties to detach the front wheel
from the frame. Be extra careful that you do not accidentally clip or
damage the motor cable coming from the front motor. The left crank arm
is interlaced with the wheel spokes, so carefully dislodge these two items
before removing the wheel. Set the front wheel aside. We will come back
to it later.
PRO TIP: When handling the wheel, be careful not to touch the braking
surface of the rotor. Oils in your fingers may compromise the brake
performance.
D. STEM, HANDLEBAR ASSEMBLY AND CONTROL CABLES:
1. Locate and remove any packaging and zip ties from the stem and
handlebar assembly. If you are not extra careful, you could accidentally clip
or damage the headlight cable coming from the stem, or the selector cable
attached to the front brake cable. Do not twist, excessively bend, or kink
any of the control cables.
2. Loosen the stem pinch bolt and carefully pull the headlight cable through
the top opening on the stem. At this point the handlebar assembly
can freely hang on the side of the frame, as long as the cables are not
excessively bent or kinked.
3. While holding the front fork so that it cannot fall out of the head tube,
remove the stem top cap, top cap bolt, and packaging protecting the
steerer tube. It may help to secure the fork to the frame with a bungee or
rubber band.
4. Thread the headlight connector through the hole in the star nut until you
see it appear below the crown of the fork. Gently pull the cable to take up
any slack in the stem (Figure D.1). Carefully slide the stem onto the steerer
tube, ensuring the control cables are properly oriented and routed (Figure
