- Trike
Your bike has been pre-assembled and requires only a few simple steps to get it ready for you to ride:
Step 1: Remove Trike from carton after cutting the nylon bands.
Step 2: Remove all of the inside cardboard protection and bubble wrap.
Step 3: Please locate and set aside the kit box containing the battery charger, pedals, and tool kit.
Step 4: Insert the handlebar stem into the frame of the bicycle. You may adjust the height of the handlebar by moving the stem up or down to your comfort level. Place your thumb on the locking mechanism on the left side of the stem, depress the mechanism and lift the lever up exposing the adjustment screws (Figure 1).
Step 5: Move the stem so that you can see directly down the hole (Figure 2).
Step 6: Insert the 6 mm allen wrench (supplied in the kit) into the hole and tighten the screw clockwise until the stem does not move separately from the front wheel (Figure 3).
Step 7: Make sure the handlebar is aligned with the front wheel before tightening and the stem is not set above the maximum height indicator. In order to get the bolt securely tight, you may need to use a pair of pliers for leverage.
Step 8: Position the handlebar to your desired comfort level and lock them into place by pushing the handle back down. Make sure that you do not exceed 80 degrees while positioning the adjustable stem (Figure 4) so that the locking mechanism can securely fasten. If there is movement after pushing the handle down or it is too tight to push down, you can tighten or loosen the tension adjustment screw (Figure 5) with a 2.5 mm wrench.
Step 9: Insert seat post into seat tube. Make sure the seat is tight enough so that you can’t twist it out of alignment. Pull the seat clamp handle away from the seat post and slide the seat up or down to adjust it (Figure 1). Move the clamp handle inward toward the seat post so it is held tight by the clamp (Figure 2).
This should require a fair amount of force to ensure the seat post is held tight. If necessary, tighten the clamp bolt with a 4 mm Allen wrench while in the open position; turning the bolt clockwise will increase the clamping force and counter-clockwise will decrease the clamping force. Make sure the seatpost is not set with the vertical maximum height marks above the clamp.
Step 10: Using the 15 mm wrench provided in the tool kit, attach and tighten the pedals. PLEASE NOTE – The pedals are marked “L” for Left and “R” for Right. The left pedal is attached by turning it counterclockwise and the right pedal is tightened by turning it clockwise. Make sure the pedals are tightly attached to the crank arms to prevent stripping.
