If you&#x2019;re not confident assembling the bike, consider visiting a local bike shop for professional assistance. <h1 dir="ltr" id="contents-of-the-box">Contents of the box</h1>The box includes the following items: <ul><li dir="ltr" style="text-decoration:none;">Ridewave City eBike</li><li dir="ltr" style="text-decoration:none;">User Manual</li><li dir="ltr" style="text-decoration:none;">Battery charger</li><li dir="ltr" style="text-decoration:none;">Maintenance grease</li><li dir="ltr" style="text-decoration:none;">Battery keys</li><li dir="ltr" style="text-decoration:none;">Pedals&#xA0;</li><li dir="ltr" style="text-decoration:none;">Toolkit bag containing:<ul><li dir="ltr" style="text-decoration:none;">8/10mm Wrench</li><li dir="ltr" style="text-decoration:none;">13/15mm Wrench</li><li dir="ltr" style="text-decoration:none;">13/16mm Wrench</li><li dir="ltr" style="text-decoration:none;">2.5mm Hex Key</li><li dir="ltr" style="text-decoration:none;">3mm Hex Key</li><li dir="ltr" style="text-decoration:none;">4mm Hex Key</li><li dir="ltr" style="text-decoration:none;">5mm Hex Key</li><li dir="ltr" style="text-decoration:none;">6mm Hex Key</li><li dir="ltr" style="text-decoration:none;">7mm Hex Key</li></ul></li></ul> <h1 dir="ltr" id="step-1-unpack-the-bike">Step 1: Unpack the Bike&#xA0;</h1><ul><li dir="ltr" style="text-decoration:none;">Opening the box:&#xA0;Carefully open the box using scissors or a Stanley knife. Avoid cutting too deeply to prevent damaging the bike or accessories. Remove the accessories box, which contains essential tools and components.</li><li dir="ltr" style="text-decoration:none;">Getting bike ready for unfolding: After removing the accessories box, lift the bike out with assistance or cut the sides of the box to make it easier to access. Remove all protective materials (foam, cardboard, zip ties, and tape). Pay extra attention to avoid cutting wires while removing zip ties. Carefully remove the front wheel (1), making sure to avoid contact with the left crank. Stand the City upright on the rear wheel (2) and the mounting stand (3).&#xA0;</li></ul><img src="https://attachments.gorgias.help/1QNmd2YbR4A79XA0/hc/GyBLV6kNwrxNbQkK/2024121101-435e7508-4ef9-4d89-bb2d-4a6b69cd1055-3d3619bc-b823-45f0-84da-367b6b1da4aa.png" style="width: 667px;" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-fil"><img src="https://attachments.gorgias.help/1QNmd2YbR4A79XA0/hc/GyBLV6kNwrxNbQkK/2024121101-9a8f2cff-48f0-48d4-ae82-6fbede9f2a8a-d0f309b5-893f-4d9c-a824-1c60f8d4caf1.png" style="width: 300px;" class="fr-fic fr-fil fr-dib"> <h1 dir="ltr" id="step-2-attach-handlebars-to-frame">Step 2: Attach Handlebars to Frame</h1><ul><li dir="ltr" style="text-decoration:none;">Orienting head stem and forks:&#xA0;When packed in the factory, the forks will be facing backwards to compact the bike for packing. Lift the front of the bike and twist the head stem so that it faces towards the front of the bike. The brake caliper where the rotor will sit should be behind the forks on the left side of the bike.&#xA0;</li><li dir="ltr" style="text-decoration:none;">Attaching handlebars: Once the forks are aligned properly, use the 4mm hex key contained in the toolkit to loosen the 4 handlebar fixing bolts (1) on the handlebar clasp (2). Centre the handlebars (3) in position paying attention to the horizontal guidelines, these should not be visible on either side of the clasp once the handlebars are fixed in place. Tighten the handlebars in place with the 4 screws to 6Nm of torque.</li></ul><img src="https://attachments.gorgias.help/1QNmd2YbR4A79XA0/hc/GyBLV6kNwrxNbQkK/2024121100-8a32f7ac-253a-4831-9836-e7518294db76-c8319972-fbdf-43b1-a218-960f974a4d0a.png" style="width: 1000px;" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-fil"> <h1 dir="ltr" id="step-3-assembling-the-front-wheel">Step 3: Assembling the front wheel</h1><ul><li dir="ltr" style="text-decoration:none;">Preparing wheel:&#xA0;Ensure that the wheel is ready to be fixed to the front forks by removing all external cardboard packaging and cable ties. Remove the plastic mounting stand from the forks (1). This step can be made easier if the bike is inverted on it&apos;s handlebars, provided it is laying on it&apos;s cardboard box or some other soft surface to avoid scratching the frame. Remove the plastic spacer (3) from between the brake pads (4) in the front brake caliper (left fork).</li></ul><img src="https://attachments.gorgias.help/1QNmd2YbR4A79XA0/hc/GyBLV6kNwrxNbQkK/2024121101-c2ae634c-a129-4795-9c97-5d8125f885de-147f7f41-52e9-470c-b3cf-0ac51ac2c6c3.png" style="width: 1000px;" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-fil"><ul><li dir="ltr" id="isPasted" style="font-size: 16px;">Inserting wheel into fork:&#xA0;Insert the front wheel into the fork dropouts, ensuring that the brake pads are correctly aligned with the rotor. Once the wheel is successfully in the dropouts, assemble the quick-release axle by positioning the spring on both sides. THE SPRINGS (5) MUST BE MOUNTED WITH THEIR NARROW SIDE FACING THE HUB/WHEEL.&#xA0;</li></ul><img src="https://attachments.gorgias.help/1QNmd2YbR4A79XA0/hc/GyBLV6kNwrxNbQkK/2024121101-10a65ce7-20d0-4c7a-8ae0-42675649749a-f3d299db-934b-48a5-a2a7-288bb163883c.png" style="width: 665px;" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-fil"><ul><li dir="ltr" id="isPasted" style="font-size: 16px;">Securing wheel safely:&#xA0;Tighten the axle nut and close the quick-release lever. The quick-release lever (7) must point upward and should close with noticeable resistance.&#xA0;WARNING: An improperly closed quick-release lever may open again. This can lead to severe accidents. Closing the quick-release lever must be difficult enough that it requires the use of your palm. Only then is the tension strong enough, approximately 15 kg.</li></ul><img src="https://attachments.gorgias.help/1QNmd2YbR4A79XA0/hc/GyBLV6kNwrxNbQkK/2024121101-4eeb2f0b-b96e-4c60-8de8-739fb21a2739-857e66ef-d807-4f0a-bb6a-7c97ceb36c3a.png" style="width: 665px;" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-fil"><ul><li style="font-weight: bold; font-size: 16px;">POSITION A = OPEN, POSITION B = CLOSED</li></ul><h1 dir="ltr" id="step-4-assembling-front-light-and-front-fender">Step 4: Assembling Front Light and Front Fender</h1><ul><li dir="ltr">Front light assembly: Ensure that the arrows (1) on the headlight cable connectors align.

The first picture in this step shows the valve adapter in my hands.</li><li>Screw on the adapter to the valve as seen in the picture that follows. This now allows the tyres to be pumped by a standard australian nozzle.</li><li>Use a tyre pump to inflate the tyres to the recommended PSI listed on the side of the tyres. For the City, this is an inflation pressure of 35-70 PSI.<ul><li style="font-size: 16px;">Inflating tyres:&#xA0;Pump both the front and rear tyres to the pressure specified on the tyre sidewall. For the City the recommended PSI is above.</li><li style="font-size: 16px;">For a Softer Ride: A PSI range of 35-45 for a softer, more comfortable ride. This pressure is ideal for riders who frequently encounter uneven or off-road terrain.</li><li style="font-size: 16px;">For a Firmer Ride: RECOMMENDED: If you prefer a sturdier and more responsive feel, aim for a PSI range of 45-70. Higher pressure reduces the frequency of pumping and is better suited for consistently flat terrain, such as urban roads.&#xA0;</li><li style="font-size: 16px;">Finding Your Ideal PSI: Experiment with different pressure levels in the front and rear tires until you discover what feels best for your riding style and terrain. Adjust as needed to achieve your desired balance of comfort and performance.</li></ul></li></ul></li></ul><h2 id="important">Important:</h2><ul><li style="font-size: 16px;">While inflating, pause occasionally to check that the tyre bead (indicated with arrows) is properly seated around the rim.</li><li style="font-size: 16px;">Ensure that the pumping nozzle is correctly attached to the inner tube valve, air should escape before the lever is adjusted. (Proper attachment circled in red)</li><li style="font-size: 16px;">If the bead starts to rise unevenly, deflate the tyre slightly and press the bead back into place before continuing.</li><li style="font-size: 16px;">Ensure the tyre bead line (a thin moulded line near the sidewall) is evenly positioned just above the rim on both sides.</li><li style="font-size: 16px;">If any part of the inner tube becomes exposed during inflation, stop immediately as this can cause the tube to burst.</li></ul>Properly seating the bead ensures safe and consistent tyre inflation. <h1 dir="ltr" id="final-checks">Final Checks</h1>Before riding your Ridewave City eBike, perform the following checks:- Ensure all bolts are tightly fastened.- Check the tire pressure and inflate as needed.Congratulations! Your Ridewave City eBike is now fully assembled. Enjoy your ride and don&#x2019;t hesitate to contact our support team for any additional assistance.
