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.

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.
