Your bike has been largely pre-assembled and only requires a few additional
assembly steps before you’re ready to ride. In addition, its settings and functions
have been tested prior to shipping from our manufacturing facility.
1. Open the bike box from the top.
2. Locate and set aside the battery
charger box and the bundle of pedals and
reectors (located on top of saddle frame
or behind the bike seat).
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, except the whole
handlebar stem (which is ok to leave
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
hanging gently by its cables), taking care
to avoid scratching the frame with any
sharp or metal tools (Figure 1). Please
follow the guidelines below for correct
assembly.
5. First, in order to unpack eciently
please note that in the shipping box the
front handle stem hinge (above front
fork holding a front wheel) is positioned
backwards. Before the handlebar assembly,
you must rotate the handlebar stem hinge
180 degrees. Once the handlebar stem
hinge is rotated using the 4 mm Allen
wrench, make sure the brake cables will
be positioned most naturally (rider’s left
side) and your front disc brake will be on
the rider’s left – the same side as the rear
disc brake. Remove the rubber top cap
covering the down screw. Use the same
5mm Allen wrench to loosen until you
can spin the spacers with your ngers.
Tighten the down screw back just until the
spacers no longer spin. You want it tight
without rough turning of the handlebars.
Now you’re ready to mount the handlebar

remove the packing materials from the
very bottom part of the handlebar stem
only, or very bottom of the ‘T’ shape (not
the upper portion).
8. The handlebars have already been
fully wired in and around the frame. The
handlebar assembly must be installed to
the headset with a 4 mm Allen wrench.
Use a 4 mm Allen wrench to loosen the
handlebar stem. Relocate the handlebar
assembly using your ngers and lock the
head stem hinge with the Allen wrench
(Figure 5) after aligning handlebars so
they are center and perpendicular to the
front wheel (Figure 6). The handlebar
grips should roughly line up to whatever
position is most comfortable for your own
riding posture. First tighten with your
ngers and then continue to tighten the
4 screws with the 4 mm Allen wrench
taking care to minimize scratching any
screws. Be sure that the gap on top of the
handlebar mount is even with the gap on
assembly with the fork pointing forward
(Figure 2 Before and Figure 3 After).
6. The front wheel has a quick-release
fork. The front wheel comes pre-installed.
The quick-release mechanism must be set
squarely and rmly tightened to ensure
safety (Figure 4). Please check before
each ride.
7. Renove the stem faceplate before
removing the packing materials, allowing
the handlebar to go directly from pack to
the stem. Then lift the handlebar stem and

the bottom before tightening all the way.
When tightening the 4 small screws down
to hold the handlebar in place, do so slowly
and in an “X”shaped pattern so all screws
are tightened evenly. Using the“X”shaped
tightening pattern also prevents the small
screws from stripping.
If needed, adjust the LCD display position
for best viewing by unscrewing and
retightening the screw underneath the
display using a 3mm Allen wrench or Phillips
head screwdriver (Figure 7). Position so that
the display is in a comfortable position to
view when you are sitting on the bike seat.
Do not force the display to move, you risk
damaging the mount.
9. Next, loosen both the right and left
brake levers by using a 4 mm Allen wrench.
Loosen two black screws on each brake
(Figure 8). You will want to rotate and
raise the brake levers from their original
position on the handlebars upward (Figure
9) until they are more level with the
handlebar grips (Figure 10) and in a more
comfortable position for gripping when
your hands are on the handlebar grips in
a riding position. Then re-tighten the 2
screws on each brake with care to minimize
scratching any screws. Next you will need
to loosen the gearshift display in the
same manner using a 5 mm Allen wrench,
loosening one silver screw, located near the
right brake (Figure 11). Adjust the gearshift
display upward until you can see it easily
from the seated position on the bike. When
in place retighten the silver screw securely.
During this process if you feel as though
you have scratched the protective coating
from the screws, you can touch up any
exposed areas with a thin dab of clear nail
polish before exposing to humidity or rain
for the rst time.

11. For proper gear adjustment the cable
tension must be checked to ensure there
is no slack and/or excessive tension in
the cable when it is in the highest (fastest
gear). Failure to do this can result in poor
gear changes.
Apply lubricant to the chain and sprockets
regularly. There are many choices which
include Teon, wax, and ceramic-based
lubricants on the market.
12. Proper tire ination for your All-Terrain tires is
recommended at 20 +/- PSI. You should monitor
regularly to ensure best performance from each
tire. Correct tire pressure is critical to the peak
performance of the bike.
13. For connection of the battery to the
bike please ensure that no other plug
is ever connected to the main battery
slot and that the Beach Bolt battery is
completely locked onto the bike frame
when connected to the bike. To unlock the
Recheck all assembly points to ensure a
secure column.
10. Next, install the pedals. Place a small
amount of lubricant such as lithium grease
on the thread before installing (Figure 12).
PLEASE NOTE that the Right and Left
pedals are labeled with an R or L sticker on
them. The right pedal screws in clockwise
while the left pedal is a reverse thread
and screws in counterclockwise. Tighten
with a 15 mm open-end wrench (Figure
13). Remember the Right Pedal Tightens
Clockwise, and the Left Pedal Tightens
Counter-Clockwise.

away from the battery to remove the whole
battery (Figure 14). It is recommended
to remove the battery before loading the
Beach Bolt e-bike into your car for security
reasons and to lighten the e-bike for easier
transport. It is best to always store your
battery in a climate controlled setting
(68-80F).
14. To check that the bike’s electrical
system is properly connected, turn on the
back battery by pressing the power button
located under the battery on the bottom,
right-side of the battery if you are standing
behind the back tire. Press and hold the

scratches.
19. Prior to adjusting the seat height,
remove the seat post and 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 on the seat post to loosen the seat
post so it can be raised or lowered (Figure
21). 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.
20. To adjust the seat saddle, move it further
to the front or back by loosening the silver
screw located right below the seat using the
6 mm Allen wrench (Figure 22). First you
16. Above the front fork/wheel on the
frame there are Phillips and hex screws
installed in the head light and the head
light holder to attach the light holder to
the frame. If they become loose, then use
a medium-sized Phillips screwdriver or 5
mm Allen wrench to tighten both screws all
the way so they are no longer loose (Figure
18).
17. Attach the red reector to the seat
post as close to the seat bottom as you
can using a Phillips screwdriver so that the
reector is still visible and squarely facing
to the rear (Figure 19). Please remove
the screw before attaching the pole to
minimize any metal scratches.
18. Attach the white reector to the either
the left or right side of the handlebar,
making sure the LCD display with the
reector is still visible and free of any
cables blocking the front view (Figure 20).

will need to loosen the red reector to give
open access to the hex screw. Make sure the
screw is tightened securely once the seat is
in its desired position.
21. Sometimes the wheel or pedal will
rub the kickstand or the bike’s standing
position is o balance. The kickstand
position can be adjusted by using a 6 mm
Allen wrench in one of the three, 6 mm

SAFETY AND PRODUCT WARNINGS
YOUR MAIDEN VOYAGE:
Before your rst ride it’s important to familiarize yourself with the operation of the bike.
Start in a low trac area while you get used to operating the controls and the power of the
bike, particularly the LCD display panel and the brake system. The rear brake should always
be applied before but in conjunction with the front brake.
ADDITIONAL PASSENGERS:
The YOLO®Beach Bolt is designed for one passenger. DO NOT carry any additional
passengers on the frame, handlebars or front or rear racks that may be installed.
WEIGHT CAPACITY:
The YOLO®Beach Bolt e-bike is designed to carry a maximum weight of approximately 275
lbs. Exceeding the maximum weight can result in damage to the bike or injury.
WARNING…UNDERSTAND THE RISKS AND USE EXTRA CAUTION:
Electric bikes are motorized (even those without a throttle) and reach higher speeds than
traditional bikes. Therefore, the risks and dangers of operating an electric bike may exceed
those of operating a traditional bike. The user assumes all risk of personal injury, injury to
others, operational failure of the bicycle or its systems, and all other losses or damages to
themselves and others and to any property resulting from the use of the electric bicycle.
Your insurance policies may not provide coverage for accidents involving the use of an
electric bicycle. To determine if you are covered, you should contact your insurance agent
or provider.
Before riding you should review, understand, and ALWAYS follow all local, state and federal
guidelines, road rules and laws surrounding use of electric bikes. Laws require use of a
helmet and in many states a minimum age for riders.

BATTERY CHARGER
Included with your YOLO®Beach Bolt e-bike
is a lithium-ion battery and a 48 volt output
charger that plugs into a standard household
electrical outlet (115-120V). The bike also
arrives with the battery partially charged.
Please charge it overnight before your rst
full ride.
Carefully follow the charging instructions
provided in the charger box. Lithium ion
batteries require specially designed chargers
(Figure 1) so you should never charge your
battery with any substitute charger. Using
a charger not made for this battery is very
dangerous and could result in over-heating,
re or explosion.
The battery may be charged either while
mounted within your bike rack frame or when
removed from the frame. For added security
the battery is locked in position by a key
(Figure 2). To remove the battery, insert and
turn the key counter-clockwise to unlock, and
then gently pull the battery out of the rear of
the rack system.

BATTERY CHARGER
After unlocking the battery assembly with the
battery key, the battery slides out horizontally
(Figure 3). After charging, replace the battery
by sliding back into place through the rear
rack system. Firmly reconnect to the frame
before locking in position with the key. After
use always charge your battery fully for best
performance. There is no memory eect so
you can charge the battery after short rides
without damage.
The charger will recharge a fully depleted
battery in 4-6 hours. The LED will turn
red when charging then green when fully
charged. It is recommended to always unplug
the charger once complete.
Check to make sure unit is charged in a 115-120v outlet. Take care not to drop the charger
as it has sensitive electronics inside and damage may result. Do not cover with any material
or substance that may restrict airow into the charger. The charger needs to be able to
“breathe”and be kept cool so avoid subjecting the battery to high temperatures, such as
direct sunlight, for extended periods of time. Do not submerge the battery in water while on
or o the bike or while riding.
Remember that charging the bike each time you use it will ensure longer life of the battery.
DO NOT leave the battery discharged for long periods. This will damage the lifespan of the
battery. Never open the charger or change the settings on the charger.

GEARS
The YOLO®Beach Bolt is equipped with 9 speeds. The more gears the lesser the jump
between gears and the more seamless the shifting. The rst gear is for easier, uphill pedaling
and the last gear is for maximum speed and traction on level and downhill terrain. You
should only change gears when you are pedaling. The rear wheel contains 9 sprockets.
When the chain is around the largest sprocket, you are in 1st gear (the lowest gear) and
in 9th speed the chain will be around the smallest gear (Figure 1). Every shift on the gear
selector (Figure 2) should cause a gear change.
Figure 1 Figure 2

COMMENTS/QUESTIONS? EMAIL [e-mail]
BRAKES
Your YOLO®Beach Bolt e-bike is equipped with hydraulic
front and rear disc brakes which provide stronger braking
power and more proportional brake distribution for
maximum reliability, but also the extra safety advantage
of a power cut-o that immediately cuts power to the
motor before the brakes engage. It gives riders the ability
to control the bike’s exceptional power in order to make a
sudden stop to avoid a hazard ahead.
The more hand pressure applied to the brake levers, the
faster the YOLO®Beach Bolt e-bike will come to a stop.
The rear brake should always be applied before and
in conjunction with the front brake. Applying the front
brake to slow down or stop the bike when at high speeds
could result in the rider being jolted or ejected over the
handlebars. It’s best to apply even pressure to both brake
levers when slowing or stopping to prevent uneven brake
wear in the future.
Bicycles equipped with disc brakes may temporarily or periodically make a slight scraping
noise when the wheels are turning without the brakes being applied. This is normal.
PLEASE NOTE that the rotors on disc brakes can become hot during use. Do not touch or
contact the disc rotor shortly after use. Also, damp or wet conditions can require a longer
distance, than normal, to stop. Make sure to brake earlier in order to avoid sudden stops or
sliding when riding in wet conditions.
Make sure the brake lever does not contact the handle bar when full hand pressure is
applied (Figure 1). If it does, then an adjustment needs to be made to increase cable tension.
An easy adjustment can be made to the brake levers by screwing or unscrewing the
threaded barrel adjuster on the brake lever until cable tension is increased for safe stopping
(Figure 2).

TIRES
The YOLO®Beach Bolt e-bike is equipped
with high quality 26 x 4.0”All-Terrain fat
tires. The oversized width of the tire,
combined with the smoother tread, allows
for the smoothest ride with minimal rolling
resistance, while still allowing for traction
and grip on wet or sandy roads.
Proper tire ination is very important to the
performance of the bike. You should check tire
ination levels prior to every ride. Proper ination is
recommended at approximately 20 +/- PSI.
KICKSTAND AND KEYS
The YOLO®Beach Bolt e-bike is equipped with a heavy duty, aluminum alloy kickstand. The
kickstand is designed to hold an unmounted bike in the upright position. You should not sit
on your bike with the kickstand in the down position.
Your bike comes with two keys that can be used to lock the battery in place. Always make
sure the key is in the“open”position when removing the battery and in the“locked”
position when riding the bike. It is also recommended to always remove the battery from the
frame when transporting the bike on a bike rack.

LCD DISPLAY/CONTROLLER PROGRAMMING AND USE:
Your waterproof 3”LCD display allows you to
monitor and control your pedal-assist bike (Figure 1).
BASIC OPERATION
Power on and o by holding down the Power on
and o by holding down the power button located
on the control band near the left hand grip along
with the controls to increase (+) or decrease (-)
the Power Assist (PAS) level (Figure 2). The LCD
display screen is centered on the handlebars. The
PAS level is indicated on the screen, middle left.
There are 6 manual levels you may select at any
time during powered operation, by pressing the
+ or - button. Zero (0) is natural pedaling with no
assist from the motor. Four lateral bars located
above the power assist level display your Battery
Life indicator.
Located next to the control band on the left side
of the handle bar is the throttle lever (Figure 3).
With the power on, your bike will move by either
pedaling (with or without motor assistance based
on assist level programmed) or by depressing
the throttle lever. When riding at any PAS level 1
through 5, when your left thumb presses down on
the throttle lever (Figure 3) the throttle will engage
the motor and propel the bike automatically until
the throttle is released.
To turn on and o the headlight, simply press the
“+”button and hold the “+” button down until the
light comes on (approx. 3 seconds).
