WARNING! Incorrect assembly, maintenance, or use of your Flyer™ eBike can cause component
failure, loss of control, serious injury, or death. Please note, the assembly and first fit of your Flyer™

Step 1: Unpack your bike
Note: Due to the size and weight of the bike, it is recommended that two adults remove and lift the bike
from the carton.
Remove the bike from the outer carton and set it on a flat, clean surface. Lean the bike up against a rigid
wall and make sure it is stable. Remove all protective packaging material and carefully cut all zip-ties to
avoid damaging the paint. Verify that you have all of the components listed below. Contact Radio Flyer
Customer Service if any components are missing.
•Kickstand + Bolt & Washers
•Charger
•Right Pedal + Washer
•Keys
•Tool Kit

Step 2: Install kickstand
A. Release the rubber latch that holds the bike in the folded position. Re-attach this latch to the pin
located on the rear frame.
B. Unfold the bike frame until the front and rear frames are aligned.
C. Push the frame folding latch closed until you hear a click.
D. Make sure the bike is leaning against a stable surface. Unscrew the bolt and washers from the top
surface of the kickstand.
E. Align the kickstand in bracket underneath the bike frame. Make sure the legs are pointing towards the
rear wheel. Reattach the lock washer on the bolt. Then, reattach the washer on the bolt. Tighten the
bolt by hand until it is too difficult to turn.
F. Tighten the kickstand bolt to 30 N-m using a torque wrench with 8mm hex bit.
Warning: Failure to not secure the kickstand properly could cause it to fall off during riding.

A. While holding the front wheel in place, rotate the stem to the rough location depicted below.
B. Align the arrow decals on the frame, stem, and fork to ensure that the Stem is assembled
straight. Check to make sure the cables are not twisted around the stem.
C. While keeping the arrows aligned, tighten the top stem bolt to 6 N-m using the 6mm allen key.
D. While keeping the arrows aligned, tighten the side stem bolts to 6 N-m using the 6mm allen key.
E. Rotate the stem up until it is straight.
F. Push the stem latch closed until you hear a click.

Step 4: Install Handlebars
A. Using the provided 4mm allen wrench, loosen the two stem clamp bolts.
B. Place the center of the handlebar in between the stem clamps. Tighten both bolts by hand making
sure the handlebar can still freely rotate. Check to see that the cables are not twisted around the stem.
C. Rotate the plastic wire harness to the position depicted below. Make sure both cable bundles are fed
through the hooks under the plastic housing.
D. Rotate the handlebar until the preferred position is achieved checking to ensure the handlebar is
centered left-to-right within the stem clamp.
E. Evenly tighten the bolts to 6 to 8 Nm using a torque wrench.
F. Ensure the gap between the stem and clamp is even.
Note: Complete assembly of the bike per the steps above. The stem and handlebar angle can be
adjusted as needed based on rider preference. Always re-tighten bolts to the specified torque values
prior to riding.

Adjusting Seat Height
The seat height should be set based on your personal preference. The initial seat position can be set by
first placing the ball of your foot on the pedal with the crank arm in its lowest position. In this position,
your leg should be almost fully extended with a slight bend in your knee. The proper seat position is
important to avoid strain and potential injury during riding. Consult a trusted, reputable bike mechanic
or contact Flyer customer service for any questions related to the seat position and fit of your bike.
A. Open the quick release lever located under the saddle. Rotate the lever fully open to allow the seat
post to slide easily.
B. Move the seat up and down by sliding the seat post in or out of the seat tube. Set the saddle to the
desired height based on rider preference. Ensure that the seat post does not extend beyond the
“minimum seat post insertion” markings on the seat post.
C. Close the quick release lever fully against the seat post tube. This should take some force to ensure
the seat post will stay firmly in place while riding.
