1 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.

2 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.

3 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 of the fork.

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.

4 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.

5 Adjust the saddle

Remove the cap that’s covering the seat clamp screw, which is located just below the seat.

Insert the seat post into the seat tube. To adjust the height, move it to where it feels comfortable, then tighten the seat clamp screw with the 5mm end of the Y-wrench. Be sure to replace the cap once the seat post is set and tightened.

Warning: do not extend the seat post farther than the minimum insertion line that is indicated on the seat post.

6 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.

7 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.

Operation and Safety Instructions

READ BEFORE RIDING

For your personal safety, you must pay attention to the following safe use of the BirdBike:

• It is recommended to always wear a helmet when riding.
• Do not exceed the maximum load of 265 lbs (120.2 kg) and no more than one rider at a time.
• When riding in rain or snow, it will take longer to slow the vehicle, so be aware of braking earlier than normal.
• Try to avoid riding in severe weather, such as heavy rain, snow, or wind.

For your personal safety, you must pay attention to the following safe use of electric bicycles:

• Do not park the BirdBike in building halls, evacuation stairs, or walkways.
• Do not charge or park the BirdBike in residential buildings. Keep away from combustibles when charging, and do not leave charging for an extended period of time. The battery should be used and maintained correctly in accordance with the method required by this manual. The battery should not be disassembled without authorization and should be recycled by professional experts.
• The charger should be used and maintained correctly in accordance with the method required by this manual.
• Carefully read the warning labels and instructions of the charger before use. When replacing the charger, it should be purchased from Bird only.
• Before washing the eBike, you should read and understand the part of the manual about the “Precautions for washing”.
• When adjusting the handlebars or saddles, care should be taken not to expose the safety marks of the handlebars and saddles.
• Always check your BirdBike before riding. If there are any issues found, please seek professional assistance with solving the issue or repair.
• Always check whether the front and rear brakes work normally.
• Always check that handlebars, front and rear wheels, and all other parts of the BirdBike are tightened properly.

Precautions while riding:

• Pay attention and observe all pedestrians, vehicles, obstacles, and others using the road at all times.
• Do not drive under the influence of alcohol.
• Anyone who suffers from diseases such as hypertension, hernia, concussion, epilepsy, and cardiovascular disease should not ride the BirdBike.
• Do not follow motor vehicles too closely (because they may slow down or turn at any time), and always pay attention to the brakes.
• Do not touch things on the road with your feet while riding.
• While riding at high speed, be sure to brake the bike slowly, and do not brake suddenly under any circumstances.
• When driving at night, slow down, drive with caution and use the lights of the vehicle.
• Try to ride in designated bicycle lanes or the edge of the road, in the direction of traffic flow.
• Stop at stop signs, slow down and watch traffic at intersections.
• Jackets, boots, trousers, gloves, etc. are effective protective clothing to prevent abrasions if an accident were to occur while riding. It is recommended to wear them to protect yourself.
• Do not wear loose clothing to avoid the risk of entanglement in the moving parts of the BirdBike.
• Please wear appropriate safety equipment according to the type of riding you plan to do. It is best to wear a pair of sports sunglasses, which can reduce the damage of ultraviolet rays to the eyes and protect the eyes from tree branches and flying rocks or stones.
• Please perform regular maintenance and inspection of your BirdBike.
• Please do not replace any parts by yourself to avoid damage.
• If any parts are damaged while riding that affect safety, please stop riding immediately.
• You should not listen to music while riding (because when you listen, it distracts your attention, and you cannot hear the sound of horns or other sounds of motor vehicles, which is very dangerous)
• If you have any problems while riding, please resolve the problem if possible or contact Bird support for help.

Precautions for washing the BirdBike:

• When washing the BirdBike, do not directly pour water on the motor and the front and rear axles to prevent water from affecting the performance and life of the product. When washing the BirdBike, do not use a strong steam or high-pressure water spray.
• After washing the vehicle or riding through water, pay special attention to the working conditions of the brakes. The braking capability may be reduced in these circumstances.

Maintenance and general troubleshooting

Inspection of handlebar and front & rear wheel:

• Move the BirdBike up, down, front, back, left and right to check whether the handlebars and the axle nuts of the front and rear wheels are tightened properly, whether the handlebars are tightened properly, and whether there is any abnormal rubbing or damage happening between parts
• Push the vehicle back and forth to check whether the front and rear wheels rotate smoothly and without any abnormal noise or rubbing.
• Carefully check the entire vehicle before riding and if you find any issues, please contact a professional for repair or contact Bird support for help.

Inspection of power circuit and lighting circuit

• Turn on the power, operate the lighting switch, check whether the headlights and taillights are on, and if they are at normal levels.
• Check for any damage with the lighting system.
• Check whether the power cables on the BirdBike are connected and are operating safely as intended as well as whether all connectors are functioning properly.

Inspection of front and rear brakes

• Adjustment of the brake lever: Pinch the front and rear brake levers, and confirm whether the brakes are working when the distance between the brake lever and the handlebar is ½ inch.
• Adjustment method of the front and rear brakes: The distance between the brake and the brake lever is specified to be between 10-20mm.
• When the brake is in a tightly gripped state, the brake pad and the brake disc should be contacting evenly.
• The brake pads and brake discs should be replaced at the same time (the adjustment of the rear wheel brake is the same as that of the front wheel brake).

Battery installation status

• Confirm that the battery is in a fixed state, connected, and operating properly.

Saddle adju1tment

• The proper height of the saddle is to sit on the saddle with the toes of both feet just touching the ground.
