VI. Adjusting the chain
Your bicycle is equipped with an external rear derailleur, the chain is automatically tightened.
Changing the chain
New chains are usually sold with too many links, the first step is to reduce it to the correct length. The
safest method is to count the number of links on the old chain in order to adjust the new one. To remove
the old chain, simply undo a rivet.
Once the chain has been removed, the new one must be fitted. To do so, it must be placed around the
chainring and the rear sprocket so that it meshes properly with the other gear elements. To fasten the
chain closed, we recommend using a quick clamp. This stands in for a female link, inserted between two
male links. The quick clamp also allows you to remove the chain more easily for cleaning.
To check that the chain length is correct, it must be put on the smallest sprocket. In this position, the
virtual line drawn between the wheel hub of the rear wheel and the axis of the lower derailleur pulley
should be vertical.
VII. Changing the pedals
To change the pedals, identify the pedals by the letter printed on the pedal. The right pedal has an "R"
printed on it and the left pedal has an "L" printed on it. Turn the R pedal clockwise to fix it on the crank
arm. Turn the L pedal anti-clockwise.

Wheel and engine

After the first month of use, it is advisable to tighten your spokes to limit the impact of the engine traction
on your rear wheel. You may hear a light noise when starting the engine. This noise is normal because
the engine starts and assists pedalling. This noise can become louder when in full use.
