Welcome to the Cannondale family.
WARNING
SET-UP STEP 2STEP 1 STEP 3 PRE-RIDE CHECK
This is a Quick Start Guide, not an
Owner’s manual.
Bicycling is an active sport with
inherent risk. A wide range of injuries
are possible. Due to the nature of
bicycle riding, the situations you
encounter while riding, you will be
exposed to the risk of serious injury,
paralysis or death. This risk cannot
be eliminated. You can minimize
the risk in many ways. Begin by
reading the complete Charge Bicycle
Owner’s manual accompanying
this bike and available online at
www.chargebikes.com, particularly
section “IMPORTANT SAFETY
INFORMATION”.

Using the included hex wrench, loosen and remove the bolts and
faceplate from the stem. The stem connects the handlebar to the
fork. Set the bolts and faceplate aside together, so you don’t lose
anything.
Place the handlebar into the stem and verify the brake hoses and
shift cables wrap around the frame cleanly, without visible kinks in
the lines.
Loosely reattach the faceplate to the stem. Take care to not tighten
one bolt more than another. Your goal is a consistent gap between
the stem and faceplate.
Center the handlebar in the stem using the markings on the bar, then
roll it back into a comfortable position.
Hand-tighten the stem bolts using the Allen key, ensuring there’s an
even gap between the stem body and faceplate at both the top and
bottom of the stem. You will fully tighten these later.

not to pull the front brake lever when either the pad spacer or a brake
rotor is in-between the brake pads.
Carefully lift the bike out of the box and lower the fork gently onto the

When installing the front wheel, ensure the brake rotor is on the same
side as the brake caliper on the fork.
Lift the front of the bike and roll the front wheel backward into the
fork dropouts, making sure the rotor goes in-between the brake pads.
Insert the thru-axle from the right/drivetrain side of the bike and
tighten with a 6mm hex wrench. The wrench should leave a mark on
your hand.

Pedals are left- and right-specic. Locate the left and right markings
on the pedals prior to installation.
Insert the right pedal (marked with R) into the right/drive side crank
arm and tighten with your ngers. Repeat with the left pedal (with an
L on it). Please note: Both pedals tighten in the direction of the front
wheel.
Use the provided pedal wrench to tighten both pedals down very
rmly.

To remove the battery cover packaging, support the battery cover,
then turn the battery cover latch counterclockwise. Pull back the
packaging on the battery cover.
Once the packaging is removed, reinstall the battery cover by turning
the latch clockwise
Torque Bolts. Select the correct bit for the stem bolts and install it
into the torque wrench.
Look for the torque specication markings on the front and back
of the stem, as well as the seatpost. If these markings are absent,
torque all stem, seatpost and seat collar bolts to 7 Nm.
Tighten the stem bolts in an ‘X’ pattern and ensure the gap is even
between the stem and faceplate at all four bolts.

of the handlebar.
Adjust seat height by loosening the seatpost collarwith a hex wrench.
Standing next to the bike, position the saddle so it’s the same height
as your hip.
Align the saddle with the frame and tighten the seatpost clamp.
When riding, you should have a slight bend in your knee when the
pedal is at the bottom of its rotation.
Once you have established a comfortable seat height, use the torque
wrench to tighten the seat collar to the proper torque specication.
Do not exceed the recommended torque values.

back. Tighten both reectors with a screwdriver.
Gently pull the wheel reectors toward the rim to ensure they are
braced by the spokes.

handlebar. If the handlebar and wheel move independently, the stem
bolts are not tight enough. Use the torque wrench and correct bit to
properly torque the bolts.
Attempt to rotate the handlebar forward and backward in the stem. If
it moves,the stemfaceplate bolts are nottight enough. Usethetorque
wrench and correct bit to torque the faceplate bolts to specication,
using the same “X” pattern as before.
Grab the front and rear of the seat and attempt to tilt it on the seat
post head. It should not move.
Brake Check. Conrm the front and rear brakes engage when the
levers are squeezed. The brake lever and handlebar should not come
into contact with the brakes fully engaged.
