Assembling the rfa

Look over the box for signs of shipping damage. If
damage is present, please take pictures in case a
shipping damage report needs to be filed.
prebuild check

4
Record the serial number and the Shimano key
number, which can be found on the label on the side
of the box. Keep these numbers in a secure place
since they might be needed in case something
happens to your bike or you lose your Shimano key.
The serial number is directly beneath the bar code
next to "Frame No:". For the RFA, this will start with
RFA. The key number is directly beneath the bar code
next to "Key No:".

Inspect the contents and again look for any signs of
shipping damage.
open the box

Remove and set aside:
- front wheel and fender (in largest box together)
- RFA KickBack and footrests (in medium box together)
- small parts box

If you have a stand, please secure the bike to the
stand, otherwise with a friend, lift the bike out of
the box and set it on your work surface.

8
Remove the battery keys secured to the cables in
front of the handlebars.
Charge the battery

9
Cut the zipties securing your handlebars to your
frame and place them safely to the side. Unlock
your battery and remove it by rotating it away from
the bike.

10
Find the battery charger and domestic power cable
in the small parts box. Locate the charging port on
the drive side of the battery. Pull back the rubber
cover and plug in the charging cable.

11
Make sure the charge indicator lights begin to blink
green. A full charge will take a few hours but you will
be able to use the battery with a partial charge by
the time you are done setting up your bike.

12
Install the RFA KickBack
Set up your (4) M8 bolts with 2 washer each.

13
Bring the KickBack up and under the RFA. The
mounting plate should be placed inside the two
horizontal chainstays.

14
Place the KickBack so that the 2 ovalized holes on
each side line up with the bosses on the inside of
the chain stay.

15
Install each M8 bolt with either a long 5mm ball-
head hex wrench or a short L-shaped 5mm hex
wrench one at a time. Tighten the first half of the
threads so that you have slack to move the bracket
around to align for the other three bolts.

16
Once all bolts are installed, finish installing and
snug down till tight.

17
installing front fender
Carefully lift the front of the bike and deploy the
kickstand.
* You may want to add something weighted to the rear rack to keep the bike
from tipping forward.

18
Remove the packaging around the fork and remove
the thru-axel with a 6 mm Allen wrench.

19
The hardware for your fender is already installed
in your fork. Please remove the M6 nyloc nut and
L-bracket.

20
Install your fender using the M6 bolt already in the
fork. The order should be fender tab, L-bracket,
washer, M6 nyloc.
Tighten the M6 bolt using a 10mm box wrench and
a 4mm hex wrench.
