Grizzly 72v PPB - Assembly VideoUpdated a minute ago

This assembly guide and video walk you through unboxing, assembling, and performing initial component torque checks on your new Grizzly 72V PPB electric motorized bike.

CRITICAL WARNING: Always power cycle—Dissipate Controller Energy (DCE)—your electric motorized bike before connecting or disconnecting any electrical components during assembly. On dual-battery models like the Grizzly 72V, both batteries must be removed to perform a proper DCE. Step-by-step guidance is available in our Power Cycle (DCE) Guide.

Assembly Video Guide


Required Tools & Materials

  • 2.5 mm hex wrench
  • 3 mm hex wrench
  • 4 mm hex wrench
  • 5 mm hex wrench
  • Adjustable torque wrench (with 5 mm hex driver bit)
  • 15 mm open-end pedal wrench
  • Rubber mallet or soft-faced hammer
  • Bicycle maintenance grease

Step-by-Step Assembly Instructions

  1. Unbox the Bike:
    • Remove the outer shipping box and all protective packaging foam from the frame.
    • Remove all parts and accessories from the box labeled "Tool Set."
  2. Install the Handlebars:
    • Using the 4 mm hex wrench, remove the top stem clamp bolts.
    • Position the handlebars centered within the clamp.
    • Thread the bolts back in and snug them up evenly in an "X" cross pattern using the 4 mm hex wrench.
    • Torque all four top stem clamp bolts to 5–6 Nm using an adjustable torque wrench.
  3. Mount the Display:
    • Center the display mount on the horizontal crossbar of the handlebars.
    • Tighten all mounting bracket hardware securely using 2.5 mm and 3 mm hex wrenches.
  4. Check Brake Levers:
    • Confirm that both hydraulic brake lever assemblies are angled comfortably for operation.
    • Torque the lever clamp bolts to 5–6 Nm.
  5. Install the Front Wheel:
    • Slide the temporary plastic shipping axle out of the fork dropouts (gently tap with a rubber mallet if binding occurs).
    • Ensure the inner sleeve spacer inside the front hub is aligned centered with the axle pass-through hole.
    • Insert the wheel hub spacers onto the left and right sides of the front hub.
    • Have an assistant lift the front of the frame while you align the front disc brake rotor into the caliper and guide the axle through the fork dropouts.
    • Applying a light coat of bicycle maintenance grease to the OEM front axle beforehand will ease installation. Tap gently with a rubber mallet if needed to seat fully.
    • Using a 5 mm hex wrench and a torque wrench with a 5 mm bit, torque both front axle bolts to 10–12 Nm.
  6. Remove Fender Mounting Bolts:
    • Unscrew the four M6 bolts located underneath the fork crown using your hex wrench.
    • Set these bolts aside—they will be used to attach the front fender to the lower fork arch.
  7. Verify Rear Axle Torque:
    • Using a torque wrench, confirm that both rear axle nuts are torqued securely to 50–60 Nm.
  8. Install the Pedals:
    • Apply a light layer of maintenance grease to the threads of both pedal spindles.
    • Thread the right pedal (marked "R") clockwise into the right crank arm and tighten firmly with a 15 mm open-end wrench.
    • Thread the left pedal (marked "L") counter-clockwise (reverse thread) into the left crank arm and tighten firmly with a 15 mm open-end wrench.
