Assembly of eVelo AurorA limited edition
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.
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.
The focus of this document is to assist with the assembly of your new EVELO
Aurora. The scope is intentionally narrow -- The “User Guide” that was
included with your bike covers a much broader spectrum of topics: fit
adjustments, battery care, controls etc.

This image shows the bike ready for assembly.
Organizing helps the process greatly.
Lower the kickstand to increase stability during the
assembly process.
Install Front Wheel
To install the front wheel first remove all the pack-
aging.
Using a 5mm allen wrench, remove the axle from
the fork

3
Check the slot in the brake caliper for a plastic
spacer. Remove it if there is one. This piece is typi-
cally either orange or black.
Li the front end of the bike and roll the wheel into
place. Pay special attention to the brake rotor and
guide it into the caliper. Lower the bike onto the
front hub. The fork will rest on the hub before the
axle is installed and support the weight of the bike.
Insert the axle through the fork and front wheel.
Before turning it in with the allen wrench, it should
go almost all the way through, leaving approxi-
matly 1/2” protruding. Very gentle taps may be
required, but do not use excessive force, as this
may damage the threads. Minor repositioning of
the wheel may be necessary.

4
With the 5mm allen wrench, turn the axle clock-
wise until it is screwed in entirely and tight in the
fork.
Install Handlebars
Remove the four bolts from the stem faceplate and
set these parts aside.
Before proceeding, make sure the fork arch faces
forward and the brake is on the le hand side of
the bicycle as shown.

5
Li the handlebars into position, paying attention
to the routing of the cables and wires. The wires
will run on the inside of the hydraulic hose (which
goes to the brake caliper) when installed the
preferred way. The image to the right shows the
wires/hose routed cleanly.
Center the handlebars in the stem and install the
faceplate and 4 bolts. Tighten the 4 bolts incremen-
tally: ideally, there will be a slight gap between the
faceplate and the stem itself both above and below
the handlebars. These gaps should be approximatly
equal. Be sure all 4 bolts are tight. You may need
to repositon the display panel slightly to access the
bolt heads.
Check to see if the handlebars are aligned with
the front wheel. If not, slightly loosen the two
bolts on the stem, reposition the handlebars,
and retighten the bolts.
EVEN IF THE HANDLEBARS ARE STRAIGHT
WITHOUT ADJUSTMENT, CHECK THESE
BOLTS FOR TIGHTNESS.

6
Install Front Fender
Remove the two bolts from the lower portion of
the fork.
Li the fender into position b y guiding the front
end of the fender between the tire and front fork
arch.
Rest the fender on the tire, and place the head-
light between the fork arch and fender tab as
shown. The proper sequence is:
Bolt, washer, fender tab, headlight, fork arch.
Tighten the bolt, but not all the way at this point.
There is some adjustability and the lower portion
of the fork should be secured first as described in
the next steps.
Position the wire fender struts one at a time, and
tighten the bolts to secure them as shown.

7
Li the fender as high as possible so that it is
touching the fork arch. Move the headlight so that
the mount is vertical, and tighten the bolt.
Install Pedals
Installation of the pedals requires a 15 mm
wrench.
It is important to note that the pedals are thread-
ed differently. The right pedal will screw in clock-
wise, and the le pedal will screw in counterclock-
wise. There is an L and an R stamped into the end
of each pedal for reference.
Screw both pedals in securely.

8
To charge your battery, first insert the charger
tip into the battery (there is a rubber door to
open).
Plug the charger into any standard outlet.
It should begin as red when the charger is
plugged in to both the outlet and the battery.
It is charged when the red light turns green.
This can be done with the battery either on or
off the bike.
Detailed battery care information is in your User
Guide.
Keys for your battery were attached to the bike
(typically the handlebars). We cannot replace
exact keys, so it is a good idea to keep one in a
safe place and use the other for daily use.
To release the battery, insert the key in the lock
and twist. While in the unlocked position, tip
the battery and li off of the bike.
To reinstall, place the slot at the bottom of the
battery onto the tab in the dock and tip the bat-
tery inward until it clicks. Double check to make
sure that it is secure.
Use of Battery

9
Your new EVELO bicycle is equipped with a three-inch tire and mounted to a wide rim. Your bike’s
tire and rim are both designed for maximum comfort, traction, and stability.
This tire and rim combination may be a bit different than bike tires you have used in the past. Given
the much higher volume created by tire and rim combination, the recommended pressure is sig-
nificantly lower than tire pressure on most bicycles.
Please reference the table below to correctly set the tire pressure.
The pressure recommendation printed on the tire should not be used, as they are not suitable for
this tire and rim combination.
Additionally, it’s always a good idea to check your tire pressure every couple of weeks.
Rider Weight Tire Pressure
100-140 Pounds............. 14 PSI
141-160 Pounds..............16 PSI
161-180 Pounds..............17 PSI
181-200 Pounds.............18 PSI
201-220 Pounds.............19 PSI
221-240 Pounds.............20 PSI
241-260 Pounds.............21 PSI
261-280 Pounds.............22 PSI
281-300 Pounds.............23 PSI
301-320 Pounds.............24 PSI
321-340 Pounds.............25 PSI
341 Pounds and Heavier...26 PSI

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!
