Assembly of EVELO Quest One Bicycle
Unboxing Your EVELO
1. Begin unboxing the bike by cutting the
banding then opening the box. Use caution
regarding the staples as they can be very
sharp.
2. Remove the small boxes and seat/seat-
post
3. The easiest way to get the bike out of the
box is to lie the box down on its side and
then slide it out. See image ----->
4. Remove packaging including zip ties.
Caution: sometimes the zip ties are used to
hold cables or wires in place. A good indi-
cator is if the zip tie is touching a painted
surface of the bike—those should remain in
place.
5. Empty all the boxes so you know what
you are working with.
6. Your Owner’s Manual is on the outside of
the box.
The focus of this document is to assist with the assembly of your new EVELO
Quest One. The scope is intentionally narrow -- The “Owner’s Manual” that-
was included with your bike covers a much broader spectrum of topics: fit
adjustments, battery care, controls etc.

Prepare Bike for Assembly
Pull the fender off the top of the tire and set
aside. The crank is threaded through the
spokes of the front wheel. To easily get the
wheel disengaged, spin the cranks counter-
clockwise until the cranks point towards the
front of the bicycle instead of vertical/up-
wards. This will allow for the most amount of
space to pull the wheel out.
In the box, the fork and handlebar mast are
spun backward, which means you will need to
rotate the assembly clockwise to correctly ori-
ent them. If you spin counterclockwise you will
end up with the wires run the wrong way on
the bicycle. The picture here shows the correct
orientation of the fork.
The handlebars were also passed under the
frame to the other side of the bicycle. Notice
the light on the front side of the fork and the
handlebar mast on the right/drive side of the
frame.
When oriented correctly the fork angles to-
wards the front and the brake caliper on the
fork is on the le/non drive side of the frame.

Prepare Handlebar Assembly
Li the handlebar mast into the vertical position and snap the closing lever shut. There should be
distinctive click when it is closed all the way.
If the closing lever is too tight or loose, the silver hexagonal linkage in the picture below is used to adjust the
proper tension on the closing latch.

4
Prepare Handlebar Assembly (cont)
Open the stem clamp quick release lever and
turn the knurled knob to take apart the quick
release assembly.
Note the position of the brass shim under the
lever and the silver washer near the knurled
knob underneath.
The stem face place slides out sideways.

5
Prepare Handlebar Assembly (cont)
The mounting clamps on the display are not
wide enough apart to pass the stem face plate
into the proper groove, so temporary removal
of the display is necessary.
Using a 3mm allen wrench, take out the 2 bolts
seen here. (Be careful not to lose the nyloc nut
on the underside of the display mount.)
Lay the handlebar onto the open handlebar
mast and slide the face plate into the round
groove. Install the brass shim before the quick
release bolt. The round side goes towards the
rear of the bicycle.
Fold the quick release lever closed and turn
the knurled knob until its tight. Then open the
lever and turn the knurled knob 1/4-1/2 turn
more and close the quick release lever. The
lever should close with some force, but not
require a lot of strength.

6
Prepare Handlebar Assembly (cont)
Reinstall the display.
Install Seatpost
Insert the seat post into the frame. Use the
same method as above to get the correct ten-
sion on the quick release seat collar.

7
Install Front Fender, Headlight, and
Front Wheel.
Remove the fender/light mounting bolt. Note
that two washers are most likely both installed
on the front end of the bolt. Remove one of
those to use on the nut end of the assembly in
the next step.
The upper fender tab will be mounted on this
bolt. As seen here, the correct sequence is
bolt, washer, light, fender tab, fork, washer,
and nut.
Push the fender all the upwards in the crotchof
the fork and tighten the hardware as shown.
It will be easier to install the rest of the fender
hardware aer the front wheel is installed.
This will elevate things off the ground for
easier access. Insert the quick release skewer
through the front axle. Note there is a cone
shaped spring on either end of the hub and
the wide end faces outwards (away from the
hub) as shown.

8
Install Front Fender, Headlight, and
Front Wheel.(cont)
Li the front of the bicycle so you can slide the
wheel into the fork. Focus on getting the brake
rotor into the brake caliper and the axle will
follow into the fork drop outs (the notches that
accept the axle).
Once the wheel is in the fork drop outs you can
fold down the kickstand and the bicycle will
support itself.
To properly tension the skewer, fold the quick
release lever closed, turn the knob on the
other side until its tight. Then open the quick
release lever and turn the knob another 1/2
to full turn and close the lever again. Proper
(high enough) tension is important here as
disc brakes can cause the wheel to come out
of the fork under braking action if the skewer
is not tight enough. Make sure the wheel is
centered in the fork in order to ensure there is
no brake rub.
Note: the quick release lever should be folded
in a direction that keeps it out of the way of the
brakes.

9
Install Front Fender, Headlight, and
Front Wheel.(cont)
Install the lower fork struts to the bolt found at
the fork drop outs.
Install Pedals
Installation of the pedals requires a 15 mm wrench.
It is important to note that the pedals are threaded
differently. The right pedal will screw in clockwise,
and the le pedal will screw in counterclockwise.
There is an L and an R stamped into the end of each
pedal for reference.
Screw both pedals in securely.

Serial Number Location
To register your bike on our website, you will
need to record the serial number. It is located
on the headtube of your bike, just above the
front fork.
There is considerable additional information in your “User Guide”. Of course, if you
ever have questions, our team is ready to help!
