HANDLEBAR ASSEMBLY
9. Using 4mm Allen wrench, remove 4 screws from handlebar stem.
10. After removing the front plate of the handlebar stem, insert center of
handlebars into handlebar stem, then reattach the front plate and 4
screws to secure handlebars.
11. Make certain handlebars are positioned with the throttle to the left
and the rapid-re index shifting levers on the right. Slightly insert
each of the 4 screws prior to tightening. Also prior to tightening,
rotate handlebars forward or backwards to customize position of
handlebars to rider. NOTE: In most cases, brake levers should be
angled approximately 45 degrees downward for optimal positioning.
12. Display screen can be easily adjusted by loosening with a 3mm Allen
wrench and rotating to desired position. To adjust the display, you
will need to loosen the screws on each side of the display.

PUTTING ON FRONT TIRE
13. If present, remove plastic spacer from bottom of front fork.
14. If present, remove the plastic insert from between front brake pads.
DO NOT squeeze the brake levers after removing this plastic
insert before installing the tire. Doing so will cause the brake pads
& pistons to overextend, and therefore will not retract to original
position.
15. Position the front wheel in the front fork and the front brake rotor
between the brake pads. Find the tooth on the inside of the washer
on the front wheel axle and align with the slot on the fork. The wheel
will not t if this is not aligned correctly.
16. Wrap the motor connection cord to the top & plug in.
17. Tighten the nuts with a 19mm wrench or socket.

may fall out of chamber and become damaged. After reinserting,
check the battery attachment by pulling out and up on the handle to
ensure it is securely fastened.

READ BEFORE USE
27. Make sure to check all nuts and bolts to
ensure they have not loosened during
shipping.
28. Battery typically has a partial charge straight
from the box. Riding the bike straight out
of the box will not impact battery life or
compromise the battery in any way.
29. Battery can be charged while on the bike,
or it can be removed and charged o of the
bike.
30. Keys are only used to remove battery from
bike. Simply insert key into lock and turn,
while pulling out and up on battery handle
to remove battery.
31. To reinsert battery, key is not needed;
simply place bottom of battery into lower
slot and rmly push top of battery into
upper slot. (Note: Make sure battery is
locked rmly into place prior to riding as a
loose battery may cause inadvertent loss of
power, or battery may fall out of chamber
and become damaged. After reinserting,
check battery attachment by pulling out
and up on handle to ensure it is securely
fastened.)
32. Assembly is now complete, however,
minor adjustments are often necessary
to precisely t eBike to rider. These
adjustments can include rotating locking
handle grips, moving/rotating brake levers,
throttle, and shifters. These adjustments
are easily performed. However, feel free
to contact us via email or phone with any
questions.
33. It may be necessary to adjust your
derailleur prior to rst use. Refer to our
Troubleshooting Shifting Problems video on
the Bakcou website for support adjusting
your derailleur, or visit your local bike shop
for assistance.
34. Two “green” rolls of puncture proof tire
liners may be located in the bike box
or in the tool kit box. The liner goes in
between the tube and the tire. If liners
are not in the box or tool kit box, then
they were installed at the factory. Some
riders prefer to use these liners as well as
a tube sealant such as Bakcou Flat Out
for added protection from punctures. The
liner will add some weight to the tire and
does aect the exibility of the rubber, thus
slightly changing how the tire rolls across
some terrain. We strongly encourage using
the puncture proof liner when riding in
areas with heavy “goat heads” or other
tube puncturing thorns. (Bakcou YouTube
instructional video available online.)
35. Regular and routine maintenance of your
eBike is not only recommended, but highly
essential to ensure proper function, safety,
and longevity of your eBike. See Owner’s
Manual for further instruction.
36. Always wear a helmet and other protective
gear while riding.
37. Always know and observe trac and trail
laws and regulations in your area.
