Assembly Instructions
1. Preparation
Remove all parts from the frame and wheel cartons.
Check tire air pressure and inflate to 35 psi. Make
sure tires are properly seated on rims.
2. Rear Frame and Wheels
Loosen set collar (6) from left rear axle and slide
axles (5 & 9) outward until the set collar and the
freewheel adapter (7) are against the inside axle
bearings; do not let freewheel adapter fall off. Insert
axle shaft into wheel (24) and secure with roll pin
(10). Please note that CB/ 3SPCB models use groove
pins in place of the roll pins. Be careful not to
damage spokes with hammer while installing roll
pins. Repeat procedure for both sides. If there is any
side-to-side movement of the axles, loosen set screw
in collars, slide axles and collars to eliminate excess
side movement, and retighten set screws. NOTE:
Install mag wheels with the steel collar facing the
inside of frame.
For coaster brake and three-speed coaster brake, see
"Installation Guide".
3. Front Frame
Slide front frame (34) into rear frame (19)
transmission box (open side down) as far as possible.
Install four 3/ 8" carriage bolts (30) through the slots
in the sides of the transmission box from the outside
inward. Be sure the square shoulders of the bolts seat
into each slot. Install flange nuts (32), but do not
tighten at this time.
4. Caliper Brake, Front
Fender and Wheel
Install front caliper brake (45) to front fork by inserting the
brake centerbolt through the holes in the front of the fork. Place
one contoured washer on each side of the fork. Before installing
nut, slide the fender bracket (39) over the centerbolt and secure
with washer and nut. Install front wheel in the slots in the fork.
Install axle retainers (43); make certain the tabs on the washers
are pointing upward and seated into the holes in the fork. Place
the fender braces onto each side of the wheel axle. After
checking that the wheel is centered evenly between the fork
blades, secure with washers (42) and nuts (41).
4a. Cantilever Brake, Front
Fender and Wheel
The front cantilever brake pad assembly comes at-
tached to the respective front fork. Unwrap the brake
cable and insert the "ball" end into the round slot in
the brake lever. Place the bezel (silver cap-type piece)
on the cable into the hole in the brake base (mounted
on the handlebar). Feed the cable through the cable
guide on the front of the fork. Thread the brake wire
through the cable clamp and snugly tighten the clamp
so that the hook portion of the clamp is facing the
wheel. Unwrap the cantilever brake cable and place
the ball end in the round slot in the cantilever brake.
Thread the cantilever brake cable through the hook
portion of the cable clamp and feed into the opposite
cantilever brake pad cable clamp. Pull the slack out of
the cable so that the cantilever brake pads are within
1/8" of the wheel. Snugly tighten the cantilever brake
pad cable clamp. Returning to the brake wire cable
clamp, pull the brake cable through the clamp until
the slack cable is removed and tighten the clamp.
5. Pedals
To install pedals (27), screw the pedal marked "R"
into the right side of the crank in a clockwise
direction. Install the left pedal (marked "L") by
turning in a counterclockwise direction. Use a 9/16"
open-end wrench to tighten.
6. Chain
Install drive chain (33) over front and rear sprockets
and join together with connecting link. Install
connecting link and spring clip (38) using pliers.
Slide the frame sections apart, evenly, until the chain
is tight (approximately 3/4" up and down movement
is permissible) and securely tighten all four rear
frame bolts. Rotate the pedals several times to check
that the chain is running freely - KEEP FINGERS
CLEAR! If binding is encountered, the chain may
have to be loosened until the binding is eliminated.
7. Chainguard
To install chainguard (26), place over chain and slide rear of
guard under top of transmission box. When the screw grommet
(28) on the rear of the guard is lined up with the slotted hole in
the side of the transmission box,

DeSOTO CLASSIC & EZ ROLL REGAL
Assembly Instructions
Loosen the nuts on the brake pads and position pads
so they line up evenly with the rim. Tighten the brake
pad nuts securely. Working through the spokes (or
with a helper) squeeze the caliper pads tightly to the
rim. Pull the excess wire downward through the
drilled bolt and tighten the nut. DO NOT over tighten
as this can damage the cable. Release the caliper and
check the gap between the wheel and the pads. Apply
the brake several times to see that the pads engage the
rim tightly and evenly. To center the pads, if uneven,
loosen caliper mounting bolt (through fork),
reposition and re-tighten. To tighten pads further,
rotate the thumbscrew on the hollow bolt
counterclockwise (unthread) and lock in position with
lock nut. Lastly, place the protective cable and piece
over the end of the cable and crimp with pliers. This
will keep the cable from fraying and also protect the
sides from the sharp wire ends.
11. Reflectors
Install the red reflectors on the back of the basket. In-
sert the screw provided with the reflector through the
reflector clip and thread partially into the hole in the
back of the reflector. The open part of the arch in the
reflector clip should be facing the back of the
reflector. Place the reflector on the basket so the clip
will capture one of the vertical wires and tighten the
screw. Repeat for other side. The basket reflectors
should be about one foot apart.
* Steel Spoke Wheels-Install the clear wheel
reflectors by placing between the spokes, as near the
rim as possible. Locate the spoke groove on one side
of the reflector and place over one of the spokes.
Insert screw provided into this side and secure with
nut on other side. Make sure nut seals into reflector
recess before tightening; do not over tighten. Repeat
for other wheels.
* Plastic Mag Wheels -
Install reflectors on tabs using screw and nut.
12. Basket
Place basket (4) onto rear frame, centered between
the rear wheels and immediately behind the sissy bar.
Using holddown tabs (3) and sheetmetal screws (2),
secure the basket to the two holes in the rear frame
crossover tube and the two rear holes in the top of the
transmission box. Rotate the holddown tabs as neces-
sary to capture the wire of the basket in the indention
of the tab. Tighten screws with a 3/8" socket wrench.
13. Rear Fenders (Option)
To install rear fenders, first attach the fenders (13) to
the fender braces (14) with the four screws (11) and
nuts (12). DO NOT tighten at this time. NOTE: The
curved tops of the fender braces should point
outward. Attach fender braces to the tabs welded to
the top of the axle housing and secure with bolts (16)
and nuts (15). Before tightening, position fender over
top of wheel;
even-up both sides and tighten bolts. Lastly, position
fenders parallel to the tires and tighten screws and
nuts.
14. Final Check
Review the instructions, check connecting bolts and
screws for tightness, and readjust the seat and handle-
bar as necessary.
