and into the steerer tube.
Be sure to remove the plastic front rotor protector from the front
wheel axle before starting this step.
Align the front wheel axle so that it’s inside of the fork slots on both
sides. The side with the brake rotor should be aligned so that it fits
inside the front disc brake.
Once the fork slots are sitting on both sides of the axle, install
washers at both ends and tighten up the cap nuts on the outside
using the 15mm end of the wrench.

4 Attach the front fender Y-wrench
Attach the front fender to the fork by using the screws that are already in the fork legs.
Use the 4mm end of the tool to remove the two screws from the fork legs and then
tighten the screws through the holes at the end of the fender mounts.
Using the 4mm end of the tool remove the screw that’s on the top of the backside of
the fork and tighten the screw through the fender mount bracket on top of the fender
so that it’s secured tightly to the back of the fork.

When tightening the fender, avoid
rubbing the tool on the frame so
the paint doesn’t get scratched.
Also, don’t over tighten the screws
to avoid stripping the holes.

7 Install the display 2.5 mm Allen key
For the final step before powering on your Bird Bike, reinstall the display back into the
handlebar so that the Bird logo is at the bottom. Be sure to not pinch the cable inside of
the handlebar while reinstalling. Once reinstalled, use the 2.5mm Allen key to replace and
tighten the screw under the display to a maximum torque of 1.5 N.m (stop when you feel light
resistance). Ensure the display edges are flush with the handlebar before tightening the
screw. If not flush, remove display and ensure the cables are not pinched below the display.
Connect the one end of the power cable coming from the bottom of the display to the other
end of the power cable that is coming out of the bottom of the frame. At this point you can
power on your Bird Bike, but be sure to read through the rest of this manual before riding.
