With the purchase of this YOLO®Single Speed Cruiser you are now part of the YOLO®Tribe, a group of like-
minded people who are inspired by our motto, You Only Live Once.
For many of us growing up, riding a bike gave us our rst taste of freedom. With just a few turns of the wheel,
we could connect with friends and explore frontiers far beyond our own front yard. Single Speed bikes by
YOLO®make you feel like that awestruck kid again, able to travel farther than you ever imagined possible and
reconnect with the great outdoors. Our YOLO®line of bikes are built with the highest standards of quality.
Since 2007, our Tribe has grown to include team riders and ambassadors, independent retailers, SUP events,
yoga or kid’s camps, or those who’ve joined us for uncommon travel experiences to the Florida Panhandle,
Hawaii, Costa Rica or Nicaragua. Whether we’ve connected through our boards, paddles, beach cruisers,
electric bikes, apparel or our signature coee, the common ground has become the shared understanding of
the message that You Only Live Once. So no matter how you rst found us, by land or sea or coee tree, you are
an important part of our YOLO®Tribe and we’re proud that your story includes us. As a part of the YOLO®Tribe,
you are now the best one to spread the vibe!
And above all else, with your new YOLO®Single Speed bike…Enjoy the Ride!
WELCOME TO THE YOLO

Your bike has been largely pre-assembled and only requires a few additional
assembly steps before you’re ready to ride.
1. Open the bike box from the top.
2. Locate and set aside the bundles of pedals and
reectors.
3. Remove/pull/slide the new bike away
through the top of the opened box and
then stand the bike frame upright with the
kickstand down.
4. Carefully remove all packaging materials
from around the bike, taking care to avoid
scratching the frame with any sharp or metal
tools (Figure 1). Please follow the guidelines
below for correct assembly.
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
5. Attach the front wheel:
a. Loosen the axle nuts until they are almost
removed, but leave them on (Figure 2).
b. Be sure and match the tread pattern of the
rear wheel before attaching the front wheel. If
you are unsure, on the side of the tire there is a
marking that says drive and an arrow pointing
which direction the wheels should turn.
c. Grab the wheel and hold it into the dropouts
(bottom upside down“U”of the front fork).
d. Place the lawyer tabs into the middle hole
by the dropout. These are the black washers
with tabs that are closer than the nuts as
observed at middle of the rear hub (Figure 3).
e. Hand tighten the nuts until the front wheel
can stay in the dropouts. Then grab the 15
mm wrench and strongly tighten both sides
(down to 30 nm if using a torque wrench),
alternating back and forth to ensure both axle
nuts are evenly tight. Be sure that the front
wheel is evenly spaced inside the front fork
from left to right.
Please check before each ride.

bike (Figure 7). Please remove the screw
before attaching the pole to minimize any
metal scratches.
9. Prior to inserting the seat post onto the
bike and adjusting the seat height, put
grease/lubricant evenly around the bottom
2 inches of the seat post to prevent the seat
post from seizing its position. Adjust the seat
height by releasing the seat post clamp so the
seat post can be raised or lowered (Figure 8).
When the seat is at the desired height close
the seat post clamp completely to tighten. If
the seat post is slipping when the seat post
clamp is closed all the way, tighten the nut
on the opposite side of the seat post clamp
holding while turning the clamp. Do this until
the seat post no longer slips.
6. Safely stand the Single Speed bike on the
ground by opening the kick stand. It can be
adjusted if needed or loosened using 4mm
Allen wrench (Figure 4) or using 8 mm
Allen wrench (Figure 5).
7. Attach the seat to the seat post. The 6mm
bolt will be towards the back of the seat
(Figure 6). Tighten it down well.
8. With a medium-sized Phillips screwdriver,
attach the red reector as close to seat
post as you can with the reector still being
visible and squarely facing to the rear of the

10. To adjust the seat saddle and move it
further to the front or back, loosen the silver
screw located right below the seat using the
6 mm Allen wrench (Figure 9). First, you
will need to loosen the red reector to give
open access to the Allen wrench.
Make sure the screw is tightened securely
once the seat is in its desired position.
11. Attach the handlebars:
a. Use the 4 mm Allen wrench to loosen the
four screws of the handlebar stem faceplate.
You may loosen them initially with the Allen
wrench and continue to loosen with just your
hand. This prevents stripping any threads.
Once you have removed all four screws, set
them on the table and do not allow debris to
get onto the screws.
b. Carefully rest the handlebar in the handlebar
stem. With your hand, slowly begin to tighten
the screws into the stem in an“X”shaped
pattern (Figure 10). As you are tightening
the screws, be sure to keep an even gap
on the top and bottom of the stem and the
faceplate. Then using a 4mm Allen wrench,
slowly continue tightening the screws in an“X”
shaped pattern (Figure 11). Only a half-turn at a
time per screw. Do this until the handlebars do
not slip when downward pressure is applied.
Recheck all assembly points to ensure a
secure column.
12. Perpendicularly align the handlebar and
its stem by using the 6mm Allen wrench to
loosen both of the two screws of the stem
pole above the bike frame (Figure 12) to line
up the front wheel to the frame line of the
bike body front to back). Before tightening
the 2 stem side screws, remove the rubber
cap that covers the down screw. Use the
5mm Allen wrench to loosen just until you
can spin the spacers. Tighten up the 2 side
screws evenly and make sure the handle
bars turn smoothly.

13. Next install the pedals. Place a small
amount of lubricant such as lithium grease
or petroleum jelly on the thread before
installing. PLEASE NOTE that the Right and
Left pedals are labeled with an R or L sticker
on them (the left pedal has stripes where
you hold to tighten). The right pedal screws
in clockwise while the left pedal is a reverse
thread and screws in counterclockwise.
Tighten with a 15mm open-end wrench
(Figure 13). Remember the Right Pedal
Tightens Clockwise, and the Left Pedal
Tightens Counter-Clockwise.
Apply lubricant to the chain and sprockets
regularly. There are many choices that
include Teon, wax, and ceramic-based
lubricants on the market.
13. Proper tire ination for your Single
Speed tires is recommended up to 30
+/- PSI. You should monitor regularly to
ensure the best performance from each tire.
Correct tire pressure is critical to the peak
performance of the bike.
14. Attach the white reector to either the
left or right side but near center of the
handlebar with the reector still being
visible and squarely facing to the front of
the bike (Figure 14). Please remove the
screw before attaching to the handlebar to
minimize any metal scratches.
15. That concludes the standard assembly
of your YOLO® Single Speed Cruiser. We
recommend giving every component a
thorough check before riding and then
taking a test ride to make sure everything
runs smoothly. If the chain makes any
unusual noise while pedaling, inspect the
chain path and make any adjustments to
the chain guard if needed by tightening the
Phillips screw or by gently bending the chain
guard with your hand to slightly adjust.
YOU SHOULD NOW BE READY TO ROLL!
ENJOY THE RIDE!

TIRES
The YOLO®Single Speed bike is equipped with high quality 26 x 3.0”tires.

ADDITIONAL CARE AND MAINTENANCE:
You should minimize parking your YOLO®Single Speed Cruiser outdoors in rain or wet
conditions. Use in wet conditions mandates a more regular maintenance schedule to ensure
your bike does not rust or corrode, and to ensure all systems are always working safely.
Riding on the beach or in coastal areas exposes your bicycle to saltwater, which is very
corrosive. Wash your bicycle frequently and wipe or spray all unpainted parts with anti-rust
treatment. Damage from corrosion is not covered under warranty so special care should
be given to extend the life of your bike when used in coastal areas or areas with salty air or
water.
To clean, wipe the bike with a dry cloth, or use a non-abrasive detergent and quickly dry any
water after cleaning.
Apply regular lubrication to the chain if needed. Increase the frequency of lubricating oil
when used in wet and humid areas.
Wipe the plastic and paint-coated parts with a dry cloth to remove excess dirt or debris
after riding.
If the paint has become scratched or chipped in the metal, use touch-up paint to prevent
rust. Clear nail polish can also be used to seal scratches or chips.
