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



Pre-Assembly 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. 
  • There is a plastic spacer supporting the front brake caliper between the brake pad area. Note that squeezing the brake without the spacer or bike rotor installed will clamp the pistons closed. 
  • 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 whining or screeching noise when braking.
  • Apply grease to the pedal threads and seat post if applicable before installation.


Assembly Basics

  • Installing Handlebars
    - Start by removing the stem faceplate. Before installing the handlebars, orient them correctly, the display should be on the left side (non-drive side) and the shifter on the right side (drive-side). When installing the faceplate, tighten the bolts in a star pattern, alternating diagonally. Ensure the gap between the faceplate and stem is even.

  • Cable Routing
    - Inspect all cable and wire routing. Match the orientation shown in the assembly video, wires should not wrap incorrectly. Improper routing can lead to pinched cables or electrical damage.

  • Left Pedal
    - The left pedal is reverse-threaded and must be installed on the left side of the bike (non-drive side). To install it, properly align the left crank insert and rotate it 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 (drive-side). To install it, properly align the left crank insert and rotate it 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 it fully.

  • Installing the Front Wheel
    - Remove the thru-axle from the fork and take out the plastic brake pad spacer. Do not squeeze the front brake lever while the rotor is removed. Carefully align the front wheel between the fork drop outs. Insert the thru-axle through the hub and fork, hand tighten it and close the quick release lever. Ensure the rotor is centered between the brake pads. If needed, adjust alignment before fully tightening to spec.

  • Brake Levers Positioning
    - 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 the handlebars while riding.

  • TrailRush Battery Removal & Charging
    - The battery can be charged on or off the bike. To remove the battery, press down on the tab at the rear of the battery cover and lift the cover away. With one hand supporting the battery, insert and turn the key to partially unlock it. To fully remove, use both hands to support and press down on the top release tab to disconnect it from the frame.
