Safety - Read This First!
1. Always make sure the stem, handlebar, seat
and wheels are fully tightened by making
sure the quick release levers are firmly
closed.
2. Make sure the quick release lever for the
folding hinge is securely closed. Refer to
the section on Folding.
3. Do not attach a front bicycle basket to the
handlebars or dangle any bags/objects
from the handlebar/stem system unless
they are designed to specifically work with
your LIFT.
4. Do not ride on surfaces where the wheels
or pedals could get caught (e.g. on train/
tram tracks, or potholes) and do not ride
directly into bumps or curbs.
5. Do not attempt any stunt riding (eg. jumps,
sharp turns, wheelies).
6. When adjusting the height of your saddle,
if the“Minimum Insertion”marking is
visible on the vertical post then insert the
post deeper into the frame.
7. Wear a regionally certified, properly fitted
bicycle helmet.
8. The total weight of the rider and backpack
must not exceed 100 kgs (220 lbs).
9. If your model came equipped with
handlebar ends, check that the grips are
tightly secured to the handlebar.
10. Tires should not be inflated past the
recommended pressure that is marked on
the sidewall.
11. For night riding, inspect that your bike
reflectors are not missing or damaged.
Always have your front and rear lights on
and wear reflective gear.
12. Obey all local and national traffic, helmet
laws and never ride while under the
influence of drugs or alcohol.
13. Before your first ride, practise riding in
a safe open area with a smooth surface
that is away from other pedestrians and
vehicles (eg. a vacant parking lot).
LIFT has a stem system that is different from other bicycles.
It is important that you read the “Setting Up The Stem” section!
Improper installation of the stem could result in
handlebar twisting while riding, loss of control, injury or death.

Assembly
This guide provides the basic information to get you going quickly before you ride.
If you are unsure of any aspect of LIFT, please bring your LIFT to a professional bicycle mechanic for final assembly.
Visit www.revelo.ca for additional information.
Tools You Need Allen key to adjust the stem collar.
For models equipped with folding pedals,
a 15mm wrench is required.
Step 1: Attach Handlebar
If the handlebar is already attached,go to Step 2:
Setting Up The Stem.
If necessary, temporarily remove the stem collar 
from the handlebar post by loosening the
pinch bolt with an allen key.
Insert vertical handlebar post down into the
stem with the brake levers facing towards
the front of the bike.
!Ensure cables are not twisted or pinched.
Step 2: Setting Up The Stem
!
The Stem Collar allows for quick centering of the
handlebar and resists twisting by locking into the stem .
Carefully follow all instructions to avoid handlebar twisting
during riding and potential injury.
2a: Remove Stem Collar
Using an allen key, loosen the pinch bolt on the stem collar and
temporarily remove the collar from the handlebar post .

Step 2: Setting Up The Stem (continued...)
2b: Set Handlebar Position for Riding
Open quick release levers . Slide the handlebar to the
desired riding height and turn it until it is perpendicular to
the front wheel. Firmly close both quick release levers .
If necessary, rotate the adjustment knob clockwise to
increase clamping strength and counter-clockwise to loosen.
!Before every ride ensure the stem collar is fully mated and quick releases are firmly closed so
that the handlebar can not twist !
✓
Test clamping pressure by placing the front wheel between your feet and
attempt to twist the handlebar. If handlebar twists, more clamping pressure is
required. (Use the adjustment knob to increase clamping pressure).
✓Optimal clamping pressure typically leaves a small impression on the palm of
your hand or thumb.
2c: Identify Stem Collar Tooth & Notch
The stem collar tooth is designed to mate into
a notch in the stem (ensure there is no gap).
2d: Install Stem Collar
Slide the stem collar back onto the handlebar post 
with the notched tooth facing towards the bike.
✓
The handlebar can always be lowered for thin profile walking or folding as needed (refer to the
Folding and Carrying & Rolling sections). For instant height adjustment before riding, slide the
handlebar up until the stem collar locks into the stem.Then, firmly close both levers.
2e: Bolt Stem Collar
Mate the stem collar tooth into the stem notch 
(do not leave gap). Tighten pinch bolt  with allen key.
2f: Close Levers Before Riding
Ensure that both quick release levers are firmly
closed prior to riding.

Step 4: Attach Seat
Open seat post lever and insert seat post into frame .
Tighten seat post clamp so that the lever is folded over and
closed.
If necessary, rotate the adjustment knob clockwise to
increase clamping strength and counter-clockwise to loosen.
!Ensure seat post is inserted so that the minimum insertion
line is not visible above the clamp.
Step 3: Attach Pedals
Left Pedal: Insert pedal axle into crank arm threads and turn
axle counter-clockwise. Start by using fingers first then tighten
with a 15mm wrench.
Right Pedal: Insert pedal by turning axle clockwise.
!Pedals tighten opposite to each other. Left (L) pedal tightens
counter-clockwise.Right (R) pedal tightens clockwise.
(For models with Detachable Pedals,skip this section and refer
to the user manual included with the pedals for installation).
Push pedal inwards towards frame to release locking pegs ,
then rotate to unfold . Reverse procedure to fold pedals.
Folding Pedal installation requires a 15mm wrench.
