Assembly Video

Assembling with the help of the video guide is the recommended method to reduce questions or issues with assembly.

Preassembly tips and advice

• If you are uncomfortable with bike mechanics, it is best to have it assembled by a bike shop or expert.
• Carefully remove ONLY the packing zip ties, do not cut any wires, cables, or zip ties that are used to route wires.
• You will remove all small parts from the fork steerer tube prior to installing the fork.
• The headset construction is historically the most difficult part for many customers.
  - Pro tip: follow the assembly video steps at 1/4 speed.
• There is a plastic spacer supporting the front brake caliper between the brake pad area. Note that squeezing the brake lever without the spacer or bike rotor installed will clamp the pistons closed. It is recommended to save the spacer to use anytime you remove the front wheel.
• Avoid touching the brake rotors with your fingers. The natural oil present on your hands will contaminate the rotors, reduce braking efficacy and create a loud whining pitch when braking.
• Apply grease to the pedal threads, seat post and fork steerer tube before installation

Ebike Class Setting

The bicycle will arrive to you in Class 2 mode. This means the PAS and throttle are limited to 20mph. It is possible to unlock the Class 3 mode, which will allow the PAS to go to 28mph. This setting is unlocked in the display unit. 

To do this: 

- Press and hold the (+) and (-) buttons to enter the settings. Then, press and hold the Power button and (-) to access the LS (speed limit) and LD (wheel diameter) settings. Use the power button to select the LS setting and then use the plus and minus keys to make adjustments. 32 is for Class 2, 45 is for Class 3. 

Assembly Basics

• Crank Arms

  - Ensure the crank arms are facing opposite directions from each other in a 180° orientation. Do not tighten the crank bolt until you are certain they are in proper positioning. A specialized tool is required to remove the crank once installed.
  
  

• Left Pedal

  - The left pedal is reverse threaded and must be installed on the left side of the bike (without chainring). To install it, properly align in the left crank insert and rotate counterclockwise by hand. If threaded correctly, it will not require any force to hand tighten. Once hand tight, use a wrench on the flat edge of the pedal insert to tighten fully.
  
  

• Right Pedal

  - The right pedal is standard threaded and must be installed on the right side of the bike (with chainring). To install it, properly align in the left crank insert and rotate counterclockwise by hand. If threaded correctly, it will not require any force to hand tighten. Once hand tight, use a wrench on the flat edge of the pedal insert to tighten fully.
  
  

• Cable Routing

  - Before installing your fork inspect the wire and cable routing, and match the orientation as shown in the video. The wires should not cross over or you will damage the electrical components of your new bike.
  
  

• Fork

  - Ensure the fork is oriented correctly once in the steerer tube. Check the headset assembly section below for more information. The brake caliper mount will be on the left side of the bike (without chainring)
  
  

• Brake Cable

  - Route your brake cable inside the fork to keep it safe when moving, storing, and transporting your bike, you may need to adjust the angle of your brake levers. Click here for more details: Routing Your Brake Line
  
  

• Handlebars

  - You will need to orient the handlebars before installing. The display and throttle will be on the left side (without chainring) and the shifter on the right side (with chainring).
  
  

• Brake Levers

  - The levers should be facing forward and angled slightly towards the ground in order to comfortably squeeze them while maintaining good grip and control on handle bars while riding.
  
  

• Front Brake Caliper

  - The front brake caliper has two different length bolts. For proper installation, the longer bolt and thicker section of the spacer will be facing upwards

Headset Assembly

Note: Proper installation of the headset will avoid damage to the bike or injury while operating your ebike.

Pro Tip: Rewatch the assembly video headset section in 1/4 speed to follow the steps carefully

• Steerer Tube

  -Carefully install the fork steerer tube, making sure it is seated with the lower bearing at the bottom of the head tube. Only the crown race (which is not removeable) should be on the fork steerer tube at this time.

• Compression Ring

  - Once the fork is installed through the head tube, place the compression ring on the top of the fork steerer tube. Slide it down to insert inside the top of the headtube. When seated correctly, this ensures the steerer tube is properly centered. This may take some adjustment to seat it perfectly.

• Cone Spacer

  - Next slide the cone spacer onto the steerer tube. Confirm the dust cover is attached to the cone spacer. This will ensure dust and debris does not enter the headtube.

• Stem Spacers

  - Slide remaining spacers on the steerer tube.

• Stem

  - Place the stem onto the steerer tube. Do not tighten any hardware

• Top Cap and Bolt

  - Place the top cap over the stem and carefully tighten the top cap bolt until you begin to feel slight resistance rotating the fork. 

• Proper Headset Installation

  - Confirm that the fork turns smoothly.
  - Confirm that the fork does not shift up or down relative to the head tube.
  - If the fork shifts within the headtube, grinds while turning or gives resistance to turning, reverse steps and ensure you have installed all parts in the order shown in the assembly video.

• Install Stem

  - Tighten bolts on stem where it connects to steerer tube. Carefully and slowly tighten in a star pattern with even spacing. Do not over tighten or you will damage the stem. 

• Final Check

  - Ensure there is no "play" in the fork. If the fork is properly seated and tightened, the fork should not shift up and down relative to the head tube of the frame.

Tail Light Installation

1. Deflate the rear tire (rear tire removal is not necessary).
2. Be sure the plastic wiring connector is fixed to the two wire leads coming out of the rear fender. The blue wire inserts into the rounded end, while the black wire inserts into the other opening. The exposed wire leads come up through the plastic connector housing and then fold down on the side of the connector housing:
3. Insert the plastic wiring housing into the rear of the tail light. Due to the rounded end of the connector, it will only insert one way.
4. Place the tail light on the rear fender in the mounting slot, then use the included hex driver to secure the nut onto the threaded post on the back of the tail light. The picture shown below is for the LMT'D V2 tail light, but the process is identical for the Turris.
5. Once the nut is secured on the back of the tail light, the rear tire can be inflated. Be sure to power the bike on and hold down the "+" button on the display for two seconds to confirm the tail light powers on.

Post Assembly Tuning and Safety Check

• Index your derailleur and verify hanger is straight

  - Failure to index your derailleur and set the limit screws may cause damage to your rear wheel, motor cable, motor, derailleur, or derailleur hanger.

• Ensure your brakes are adjusted and bedded

  - Brake calipers must be adjusted to perform up to specification. Note that new brake pads need to go through the bedding process and may make noise when braking until bedded.

• Double check your cable routing

  - Matching cable routing as shown in the assembly video will reduce stress on wiring and avoid out-of-warranty damage to your ebike components

• Adjust your fenders

  - Rubbing fenders is can be an annoyance. Adjusting your fenders will ensure no noises or contact with the tire during operation. Front: do so by ensuring the top support bracket that shares the headlight bolt is straight and the fender is far enough from the tire, which also requires the fender support arms to be adjusted properly. Rear: ensure each support arm keeps the fender far enough from the wheel.
