Warnings
assembly of the bike, please do not hesitate to contact us. You can reach
us via email at [email protected] or by telephone at [phone]
(weekdays from 8:00AM to 5:00PM).
In order to make the assembly easier, we have divided this manual into steps.
For each step:
- the main bike features will be clearly indicated
-
- if applicable, the appropriate sequence for the assembly of bolts,
nuts, washers, etc. will be indicated.
If the steps in this manual are followed, the complete warranty as shown on
the website (www.lastcykel.se/kundservice) will be applicable.
The correct assembly of the cargo bike is of crucial importance and falls
outside of the responsibility of Babboe. As such, Babboe shall accept
therefrom.

a knife, as the parts inside may become
damaged.
- Cut open and unfold the boxes so you
can lay them down as a surface for the
assembly.
- Have a garbage bag at hand to discard
packaging material and other rubbish.
- When the instrucons prompt you to use
a sachet, use a plasc container to empty
the sachet of nuts and bolts into. This
will allow you to work eciently and not
misplace or lose any parts.

Mounng the beam
STEP 1
1. Start with the front frame from box I. First remove the black protecve
covers on the axle of the front wheel.
2. Place the beam on the front cross beam (there are 2 cross beams,
found on the underside of the front frame).

- Sachet I
- Front and rear frame
- Ring/open-ended spanner #13
- Hex key 6mm

STEP 2 Mounng the kickstand
1. Place the kickstand onto the rear cross beam of the front frame (see picture).
Parts and tools required:
- Sachet I
- Front frame and kickstand
- Ring/open-ended spanner #13
!
Important: Make sure to mount the kickstand properly. The
kickstand should extend in the direcon of the handlebars
(towards you).
!
- Hex key 6mm
2. Connect the frame’s beam with the cross beam using the parts indicated
from Sachet I.

STEP 3
1. Extend the kickstand, the front frame can now stand on its own.
2. Slide the tube of the rear frame into the front frame tube.
Mounng the frame
3. Take the two aachment elements (an L-shaped strip and a straight
strip) and hold them up against the straight strip on the frame. You will
need to slightly collapse (fold in) the kickstand in order to mount the
L-shaped strip.

TIP: Spray a lile liquid Vaseline, Teon spray, WD40 or something similar
onto the connecons to allow them to easily slide into each other.
Parts and tools required:
- Sachet J
- Front and rear frame
- Ring/open-ended spanner #13
- Hex key 6mm

8
3. Connect the two tube elements by using the 2 long bolts from sachet J.
Secure the secon underneath using the short bolts from the same sachet.
4. Firmly ghten the bolts with a 6mm hex key on the one side, and use the
#13 spanner for the other side.
The two tubes will t ush with each other; it is beer, however, to leave a
space of 5 - 10 mm between the two tubes. Doing so will give you more
leeway later on during the mounng of the cargo box.

steering pin into the stem.
Tools required:
- Hex key 5mm and 6mm
4. Tighten the handlebars by using the hex key on the hex bolt on the bar.

STEP 8 Mounng the brake cable
1. The cable for the front brake is the only cable that is not yet fully mounted.
It is already aached to the Roller Brake (drum brake) in the front wheel.
Check to make sure that this is the case.
Tools required:
- Ring/open-ended spanner #10
2. The cable must be guided to the le handbrake on the handlebar by
means of the clamps that are ed on the frame’s tube.
3. The end of the cable must then be connected to the handbrake on the
handlebar. To do so, rst open the adjustable cable feed on the handbrake so
the feed’s nut is ush with the handbrake.
