Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare for Installation

  1. Work in a spacious area with room to move around the bike.
  2. Remove the battery to prevent tipping during installation.
  3. Lay out all parts and tools before starting to ensure no loose hardware is lost or misplaced.

Step 2: Remove Rear Brake Light and Frame Plug

  1. Cut the zip tie securing the rear light cable.
  2. Unplug the light and remove it using an 8mm wrench to remove the nuts (save the hardware).
  3. Unbolt the bracket using a 3mm and 4mm Allen wrench and remove it.
  4. Pull out the rear frame plug once the bracket is removed.

Step 3: Slide in the Utility Rack

  1. Insert the rack into the frame, ensuring it is fully seated.
  2. The frame holes should be fully visible for bolt installation.

Step 4: Install Grab Handle & Bolts

  1. Position the grab handle by sliding it down between the rack and seat.
  2. Use the shorter rack bolt to loosely secure the handle through the back hole.

Step 5: Install Side Panels

  1. Attach one side panel at a time, loosely inserting all bolts.
  2. Secure the rear of the side panel using an M6x25mm bolt.
  3. Insert the long front bolt through the side panel and rack, securing it on the other side with a short bolt.
  4. Repeat for the opposite side.

Step 6: Install Rear Brace

  1. Install the rear brace as shown below.
  2. The brace has angled ends to better fit the rack sides.
  3. Secure using the M5x25mm bolts.

Step 7: Tighten All Bolts

  1. Go around the rack, tightening each bolt gradually to 3-5 Nm.
  2. Repeat the process 2-3 times to ensure a secure fit.

Step 8: Install Rear Light

  1. Attach the rear light to the back of the rack using two 8mm nuts and washers.
  2. Plug in the extension cable and route it along the frame.
  3. Secure the extension cable to the taillight wire using two zip ties.

Final Steps & Review

  • Do not exceed 100lbs of total weight on the rack and panniers.
  • Ensure all bolts are tightened.
  • Heavy loads will affect the handling of the bike and caution should be taken when riding.
  • The rack is not to be used for stunt riding.
  • Periodically check the bolts to make sure they are secure.
  • Ensure that straps or cargo cannot get into the rear wheel or interfere with the rear suspension.
