This document is an assembly guide for the Blix Aveny electric bicycle, designed to assist users in setting up their new bike and performing basic adjustments and checks. The guide emphasizes a user-friendly approach, breaking down each step to be easily followed by both experienced cyclists and beginners.
The primary function of this guide is to facilitate the safe and correct assembly of the Blix Aveny. It covers the initial unpacking of the bike, installation of key components, and essential adjustments to ensure a comfortable and secure riding experience. The guide is structured to walk the user through each step logically, from the larger components to finer adjustments, with clear instructions and accompanying visuals where necessary.
The assembly process begins with unpacking the Blix Aveny. Users are instructed to remove the bike from its box and place it on a smooth, flat surface. All packaging materials and zip-ties should be carefully removed. A helpful note advises keeping the box and protective packaging for 30 days in case any issues arise, suggesting a period for potential returns or warranty claims.
Next, the guide details the installation of the handlebars. This involves inserting the stem into the fork, aligning the center of the handlebars with the center of the fork, and then tightening the stem bolt once the stem and fork are properly aligned and pointing forward. This step is crucial for steering control and rider comfort.
Installing the front fender is the subsequent step. This involves routing the light cable through a hole at the top of the fender, securing the cable through internal clamps, and pulling it through a hole at the front of the fender. The fender is then attached to the fork using bolts removed from the fork crown and fender eyelets. A tip is provided to ensure the cable is securely fastened close to the fender to prevent wear from tire contact, highlighting a maintenance consideration during assembly.
The guide then moves to installing the lights. The front light is attached to the fender using a bolt and a 4mm Allen wrench, with an 8mm crescent wrench used to maintain tension. The light cables are then connected: the red cable to the positive terminal and the black cable to the negative terminal. This ensures the front light is operational for safety.
Installing the front wheel and quick release is a multi-step process. First, both wheel protectors are removed from the axle. The quick release skewer is then prepared by removing the cap and one of the two springs. The skewer is pushed through the axle from the side opposite the brake rotor disc. A spring is added with its small end facing the bike and the larger side resting against the cap. The cap is then installed, leaving enough space for the fork dropouts. The plastic fork spacer is removed from the fork, and the front wheel is installed, ensuring it is fully seated in the front fork dropouts and the brake rotor disc slides into the brake caliper. A tip suggests checking if the brake cable is loose enough if there's trouble getting the front wheel on, indicating a common troubleshooting point. Finally, with the quick release lever open, the cap is tightened, and the quick release arm is clamped down to firmly attach the wheel to the dropouts, with the user expected to feel firm resistance when closing the lever.
The last assembly step is installing the pedals. Pedals are marked "L" for left and "R" for right on the axle end. The right pedal is installed on the side with the chain and gears. Users are instructed to hand-thread each pedal onto the bike first, then securely tighten them using a 15mm crescent wrench. A critical note warns that the left pedal is reverse-threaded and tightens in the opposite direction, emphasizing the importance of correct threading to prevent damage.
After assembly, the guide transitions to adjustment steps, focusing on personalizing the Aveny and performing safety checks.
Seat adjustment involves opening the quick release seat post clamp, adjusting the seat to the desired height, and then clamping the quick release back down firmly against the collar. If the seat slips, the nut on the quick release clamp can be tightened by hand. A tip provides guidance on optimal seat height: being able to comfortably touch the ground with toes and fully extend legs while pedaling.
Handlebar adjustment offers three areas of customization: height, stem angle, and wrist angle. To adjust the stem height, the stem bolt is loosened, the stem is aligned with the front wheel, and then the bolt is tightened. For stem angle, the bolt at the bottom of the stem is loosened, the desired angle is set, and the bolt is tightened. For handlebar wrist angle, the handlebar clamp bolts are loosened, the desired wrist angle is set, and both bolts are tightened. The guide notes that after these adjustments, the rider should be able to sit upright without discomfort in their arms or wrists.
Tire inflation is a crucial safety and performance check. Users are instructed to inflate tires to the recommended PSI, which is written on the tire's sidewall. Properly inflated tires reduce rolling resistance. A warning highlights that under-inflation can lead to flat tires.
Finally, checking brakes is outlined. Users must ensure brake levers stop before touching the handlebars and that the wheel stops spinning when brakes are depressed. The guide mentions that a detailed Brake Adjustment guide is available on support.blixbike.com and recommends contacting an experienced bike mechanic for any major brake adjustments, underscoring the importance of professional help for critical safety components.
The guide concludes by stating that the bike is now fully assembled and directs users to the Blix Owner's Manual for further tips and instructions. A general safety tip advises double-checking all hardware before the first ride to prevent components from coming loose and causing injuries.
Recommended Torque Values are provided in a table, specifying the torque (in Nm) for various bolts, including the seat post clamp, saddle, pedals, crank bolts, handlebar, stem, and rear wheel. This information is critical for ensuring components are securely fastened to prevent slipping and potential safety hazards.
