Assembly Prep
To prepare for the assembly of your BirdBike, first take out all pieces of the BirdBike from the box and remove all packaging. Also, open the accessory box and remove all tools, parts and everything else that’s inside of it.
Install the handlebar
Remove Display from the Handlebar
Use the 2.5mm Allen Key to remove the screw that’s behind the display on the
handlebar. If the display isn’t easily removed from the handlebar, use the hex
key to gently push it from the back of the handlebar through the hole from
where the screw was removed.
Install the Handlebar
- Use the 5mm end of the Y-wrench to remove the hex bolt from inside the steerer tube and insert the handlebar over the steerer tube.
- After the handlebar is installed and lined up properly with the tire and frame, insert the hex bolt through the handlebar and into the steerer tube.
- Use the 5mm end of the Y-wrench to gently tighten the hex bolt into the handlebar so that there’s no play between the fork and frame.
- Finally, make sure the handlebar, frame, and front wheel are still aligned and tighten the two steering stem screws with the 5mm end of the Y-wrench so the handlebar stays
in place.
Attach the front fender
-
Attach the front fender to the fork by using the screws that are already in the fork legs.
Use the 4mm end of the Y-wrench to remove the two screws from the fork legs and then tighten the screws through the holes at the end of the fender mounts. -
Using the 4mm end of the Y-wrench remove the screw that’s on the top of the backside of the fork and tighten the screw through the fender mount bracket on top of the fender so that it’s secured tightly to the back ack ooff th the fe fororkk..
-
When tightening the fender, avoid rubbing the Y-wrench on the frame so the paint doesn’t get scratched. Also, don’t over tighten the screws to avoid stripping the holes.
Install the front wheel
- Be sure to remove the plastic front rotor protector from the front wheel axle before starting this step.
- Align the front wheel axle so that it’s inside of the fork slots on both sides. The side with the brake rotor should be aligned so that it fits inside the front disc brake.
- Once the fork slots are sitting on both sides of the axle, install washers at both ends and tighten up the cap nuts on the outside using the 15mm end of the wrench.
- After installing the front wheel, extend the kickstand for better stability and easier assembly during the next steps.
Adjust the saddle
Remove the cap that’s covering the seat clamp screw which, which is loca is
locatteed jd justust below the seat.
Insert the seat post into the seat tube. To adjust the heigghhtt,, m mooveve
it it toto w wherhere e it feels comfortable, then tighten the seat clamp
screw with th with the 5mm end e 5mm end of the Y-wrench. Be sure to replace
the cap once the seat post is set and at post is set and tightened.
Attach the pedals
Install the left and right pedals by screwing them into the crank. Pay attention to which pedal is being installed on the left and the right as the left pedal is reverse threaded so it is tightened counter-clockwise. You can tell the two pedals apart by looking for the “R” on the right pedal and “L” on the left. After the pedals are screwed on by hand, use the 15mm end of the wrench to give the pedals a final tightening.
Install the display
For the final step before powering on your BirdBike, reinstall the display
back into the handlebar so that the Bird logo is at the bottom. Be sure to not
pinch the cable inside of the handlebar while reinstalling. Once reinstalled,
use the 2.5mm Allen key to replace and tighten the screw under the display so
that it’s tightened into place inside of the handlebar.
Connect the one end of the power cable coming from the bottom of the display
to the other end of the power cable that is coming out of the bottom of the
frame. At this point you can power on your BirdBike, but be sure to read
through the rest of this manual before riding.
