Assembly Tips

Orientation
The horizontal arms on the battery rack need to be oriented so they are narrower where they attach to the seat post. (See picture.)

Fastening
Once the rack is attached to the seat post and to the frame by the rear axle, be sure to tighten the hex nuts that the horizontal arms go through. Failure to secure these nuts can result in the rack getting substantially out of place and rotating backwards.

Rack Clips
The two small clips (see picture) that are briefly shown in the Wave assembly video go on the vertical arms where the rack attaches to the arms with the holes in them. These clips should have the flanges flaring out. It has been reported that they are the female connectors for bungee cords to hold things onto the rack itself.

Kickstand
The kickstand can be loosened with an 8mm hex wrench. It can be lowered by adding two large, steel washers that make about 1/4" spacing and reattached the kickstand. THis can make the bike more stable when the kickstand is deployed. Note: it does open the kickstand to rotating as it no longer fits into the kickstand bracket. Also see the Kickstand section of the Aftermarket Parts page for other kickstands that Wave owners installed on their bikes.

Seat Post
Attach the saddle (seat) before you attempt to insert the post into the frame.

Failure to do so can result in the seat post falling into the frame. Wavers have had mixed results in getting the post back out of the frame.
