If you&apos;re not entirely comfortable with bike mechanics, consider having it professionally assembled at your local bike shop. Here&#x2019;s a streamlined guide to get you going:<ol><li style="font-size: 16px;">Carefully cut only the packing zip ties to avoid damaging any important wires or cables.</li><li style="font-size: 16px;">Pay attention to the plastic spacer in the front brake caliper. It keeps the brake pistons open when the wheel or spacer isn&#x2019;t in place. Keep it handy for future wheel removals.</li><li style="font-size: 16px;">Treat the brake rotors with care. Avoid touching them with your fingers to maintain their performance and prevent any unwanted noise.</li><li style="font-size: 16px;">For a smooth and secure ride, apply grease to the pedal threads and a bit of anti-slip to the seat post before installation.</li><li style="font-size: 16px;">Double-check that your fork is facing the right way. The brake caliper and rotor should be on the left side from the rider&apos;s perspective.</li></ol>Following these steps ensures your Ridewave bike is ready for a seamless and thrilling ride. Enjoy every moment of your journey! <h2 data-chext-overflow data-chext-position dir="ltr" id="isPasted">Step 1: Unpack the bike</h2>The first step is to remove the bicycle from the box; this can be easier if a second person holds the box while the first person lifts the bicycle.
