2. Prop the front frame assembly vertically and align the rear frame section perpendicular
to it. Slide the rear assembly forward inside the rear frame dropouts on the front frame
assembly aligned with the slots on the rear frame section. Install the first set of bolt
assemblies from the outside. Bolt head / washer on the outside and washer / lock washer /
nut on the inside. Add the second set of anchoring bolts to the dropouts (Bolt head /
washer on the outside and washer / lock washer / nut on the inside.)
3. After installing and tensioning the chain, tighten all four bolts that hold the two frame
sections together making sure that the rear is perpendicular to the front.
4. Unwrap and separate the wheels. Use caution when unpacking. The front, drive side
and non-drive side wheels are all different.
5. Install the drive side rear wheel (right hand side RHS). This axle nut should be fully
tightened (40Nm) and locked in place with the secondary cap nut. The drive wheel and
non-drive wheels are NOT interchangeable. The drive side hub has a keyway and no
bearings.
6. Install the non-drive side wheel. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN!! Be sure that the left axle
nut is loose enough that the inside spacer is just barely free to spin by hand.
Overtightening will side-load the bearings and cause premature wear and bearing failure.
A clicking noise from the left wheel bearing while driving is a symptom of overtightening.
Lock the axle nut in place with the secondary cap nut.

7. Install the front wheel assembly making sure that the tabs on the safety washers fit into
the holes on the fork and that the rim is centered in the fork arch before tightening the axle
nuts.
8. Install the gooseneck and handlebar assembly past the minimum depth marked on the
gooseneck. Secure by tightening the stem expander bolt. Be sure to center the stem with
the front wheel so it tracks in a straight line. Brake levers and grips are pre-installed on the
handlebar.
9. Complete the rear band-brake cable installation by passing the cable through the rear
cable adjustment assembly, over the brake return spring and finally under the washer
below the anchoring nut. Adjust cable tension so that parking brake is fully engaged when
brake lever is parallel to the handlebar.
10. Complete the front disc brake adjustment. The inner pad must be advanced so that the
caliper just touches it when the rotor is centered in the caliper. Lock down the caliper bolts
in this position, anchor the brake cable with the cable fixing screw and make final
adjustments by slightly backing off the rear pad adjustment and fine tuning the cable
adjustment
11. Install the seat on the seat post but do not tighten completely. Leveling is best done on
the trike.
12. Lightly grease inside the seat tube and install the seat and seat post assembly. The
seat position can be adjusted slightly by sliding the seat backwards or forwards on the
seat rails.
•A smaller rider can be better accommodated by reversing the gooseneck than
by advancing the seat to an extreme forward position. A larger rider can be better
accommodated by installing a gooseneck with a longer stem than by installing the seat
in its extreme backwards position.
13. Install the pedals (L on the left side with a counter clockwise thread, R on the right with
a regular clockwise thread).
14. Install the chain guard using the two washer head mounting screws provided.
15. Install cable crimps after adjusting and trimming the brake cables.
16. Inflate the tires. The recommended tire pressure in marked on the tire sidewall. Adjust
the handlebar angle and the seat height.
