A. Unfold the bike frame until the front and rear frames are aligned.
B. Push the frame folding latch closed until you hear a click.
C. Make sure the bike is leaning against a stable surface with the left side of the bike
facing outward. Unscrew the bolt and washers from the top surface of the kickstand.
(Note: the kickstand has grease inside the joint that can stain clothing)
D. Align the kickstand in the 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.

assembled straight.
C. While keeping the lines aligned, tighten the top stem bolt to 6 N-m using the 5mm
allen wrench.
D. While keeping the lines aligned, tighten the side stem bolts to 6 N-m using the 5mm
allen wrench. (Warning: it is better to overtighten these bolts if a torque wrench is
unavailable. Loose bolts could result in loss of bike steering.)

Step 4: Install handlebars
A. Using the provided 5mm allen wrench, loosen the two stem clamp bolts.
B. Place the center of the handlebar in between the stem clamps. Rotate the
handlebars with the headlight facing down until both top clamp bolts can be
accessed. Check to see that the cables are not twisted around the stem.
C. Tighten both bolts by hand making sure the handlebar can still freely rotate.
D. Rotate the plastic wire harness to the position depicted below. Make sure both
cable bundles are fed through the hooks under the plastic housing.
E. Rotate the handlebar until the preferred position is achieved, checking to ensure
the handlebar is centered left-to-right within the stem clamp.
F. Alternate tightening each bolt to 6 to 8 Nm to ensure an even gap on both sides of
the clamp.
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.

headlight does not turn on, make sure the headlight wire is installed in the correct
orientation by aligning the small rib on both connectors.)
B. Adjust the angle of the headlight beam to illuminate the road ahead, while ensuring the
light will not blind or obscure the vision of oncoming traffic or pedestrians.

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.
C. Ensure that the seat post does not extend beyond the “Min. Insertion” markings on the
seat post.
D. 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.
