Remove Display from the Handlebar
Use the 2.5mm Allen Key to remove the screw that’s in the
back of the display, which will be sitting in the handlebar
cavity, but not installed.
Install the Handlebar
Use the 5mm end of the tool to remove the hex bolt
from inside the black disc top cap that's sitting on
the protective cardboard tube. The black disc top
cap and cardboard sleeve will not be used during
the assembly, so please set aside along with the box
and other packaging.
After removing the hex bolt, black disc top cap, and
protective cardboard tube, install the handlebar
on top of the steerer tube. Once the handlebar
is installed and lined up properly with the tire and
frame, re-insert the hex bolt through the handlebar
and into the steerer tube.
Use the 5mm end of the tool 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 tool so the
handlebar stays in place.

Attach the front fender to the fork by using the screws that are already in the fork legs.
Use the 4mm end of the tool 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 tool 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 tool on the frame so
the paint doesn’t get scratched.
Also, don’t over tighten the screws
to avoid stripping the holes.

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 ts
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.

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 nal tightening.

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
tool. 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.

Om de assemblage van je BirdBike voor te bereiden,
haal je eerst alle onderdelen van de BirdBike uit de
doos en verwijder je de hele verpakking. Open ook de
accessoiredoos en verwijder alle gereedschappen,
onderdelen en al het andere dat erin zit.

Display van het stuur verwijderen
Gebruik de 2,5 mm inbussleutel om de schroef te
verwijderenaan de achterkant van het display, dat in de
stuurholte zal zitten, maar niet is gemonteerd.
Monteer het stuur
Gebruik het uiteinde van 5 mm van het gereedschap
om de zeskantbout te verwijderen uit de binnenkant
van de zwarte schijfdop die op de beschermende
kartonnen buis zit. De zwarte schijfdop en kartonnen
hoes worden niet gebruikt tijdens de montage, dus leg
deze samen met de doos en andere verpakking apart.
Na het verwijderen van de zeskantbout, zwarte
schijfdop en beschermende kartonnen buis, installeer
je het stuur bovenop de stuurbuis. Zodra het stuur is
gemonteerd en correct is uitgelijnd met de band en
het frame, steek de zeskantbout door het stuur en in de
stuurbuis.
Gebruik het uiteinde van 5 mm van het gereedschap
om de zeskantbout in het stuur vast te zetten zodat
er geen speling is tussen de voorvork en het frame.
Zorg er ten slotte voor dat het stuur, het frame en het
voorwiel nog steeds uitgelijnd zijn en draai de twee
stuurpenschroeven vast met het uiteinde van 5 mm van
het gereedschap zodat het stuur blijft zitten.
A-FRAME 35

Zorg ervoor dat je de plastic voorrotorbeschermer van de
voorwielas verwijdert voordat je met deze stap begint.
Lijn de voorwielas uit zodat deze in de sleuven van de voorvork
zit aan beide zijden. De kant met de remrotor moet zodanig
worden uitgelijnd dat deze in de voorste schijfrem past.
Zodra de vorksleuven aan beide zijden van de as zitten,
installeer ringen aan beide uiteinden en draai de dopmoeren
vast aan de buitenkant met behulp van het uiteinde van 15
mm van de sleutel.
Na het monteren van het
voorwiel, klap je de standaard
uit voor betere stabiliteit en
eenvoudigere montage tijdens
de volgende stappen.
Vermijd bij het vastdraaien van het
spatbord het gereedschap tegen
het frame wrijft zodat er geen krassen
op de lak komen. Draai de schroeven
ook niet te vast om te voorkomen dat
de verf bij de gaten wordt beschadigd.

Bevestig het voorspatbord aan de voorvork met behulp van de schroeven die al in de
voorvorkpoten zitten. Gebruik het uiteinde van 4 mm van het gereedschap om de twee
schroeven van de voorvorkpoten te verwijderen en draai vervolgens de schroeven vast
door de gaten aan het einde van de spatbordbevestigingen.
Gebruik het 4 mm uiteinde van het gereedschap om de schroef te verwijderen boven op de
achterkant van de voorvork en draai de schroef door de spatbordmontagebeugel bovenop
het spatbord zodat hetstevig vastzit aan de achterkant van de voorvork.

Verwijder de dop die de zadelklemschroef bedekt, en die zich net onder
de zitting bevindt.
Steek de zadelpen in de zadelbuis. Om de hoogte van het zadel, aan te
passen, verplaats het naar waar het comfortabel aanvoelt en draai de de
zadelklemschroef vast met het uiteinde van 5 mm van het gereedschap.
Zorg ervoor dat u de dop terugplaatst zodra de zadelpen is ingesteld en
aangedraaid.
Waarschuwing: verleng de
zadelpen niet verder dan de
minimale insteeklijn die is
aangegeven op de zadelpen.

Monteer de linker- en rechterpedalen door ze in de krukas te draaien.
Let op welk pedaal links en rechts wordt gemonteerd omdat het linker
pedaal in de omgekeerde richting moet worden geschroefd, dus het
moet tegen de klok in worden vastgedraaid. Je kunt de twee pedalen
uit elkaar houden door te zoeken naar de ""R"" op het rechterpedaal en
de ""L"" ophet linkerpedaal.
Nadat de pedalen met de hand zijn vastgeschroefd, gebruikt je het
uiteinde van 15 mm van de sleutel om de pedalen goed vast te draaien.
