Freesky Himilaya Unboxing and Assembly
Freesky Himilaya Unboxing and Assembly
Originally this was supposed to be just one review video. But that was not in the cards for me. Watch me fumble through this assembly video. It was “one of those days” in the garage as I assembled this Freesky fat tire e-bike. This is the first time I have damaged a bike during assembly.
Video Summary
Unboxing and Initial Review
- The reviewer is having trouble with the unboxing process.
- The bike is called the FreeSky Himalaya.
- The reviewer is excited about the size of the headlight.
“This right here is the FreeSky Himalaya…wait till you see the size of this freaking headlight.”
Contents of the Box
- The contents of the box include a charger, pedals, a tool kit, a user guide, and some additional boxes.
- The reviewer is unsure about the purpose of certain items.
“You have the charger, you have your pedals, you have this monster light…you have a tool kit to put it all together, a user guide, and…not sure what these are for but we’ll figure it out.”
Unpackaging the Bike
- The bike is well packed.
- The reviewer struggled with a zip tie before removing all the parts from the box.
“The packing on this bike was done really well…it took some effort to take off the zip tie…but we got it…all the parts are out and as you can see most of this bike is put together.”
Assembly Steps: Handlebars, Pedals, and Seat
- The handlebars, pedals, and seat need to be assembled.
- The reviewer provides tips and instructions for each step, including the use of patience and proper tool usage.
“We just need to put on the handlebars, the pedals, and the seat…when it comes to putting the handlebars on, just be prepared to have patience…the next step is to put on the front tire…when it comes to these pedals, they’re marked with an L for left and an R for right…when it comes to the headlight, the directions aren’t that clear…it slides into the outside one and then you just tighten it down…now we’re going to put the bolts and washers in the seat.”
Assembly Process
- Attaching the light on the other side.
- Using the included wrench to tighten it, but not too tight to allow for adjustment.
“We’re going to use the included wrench to tighten it up but I’m not going to tighten it up real tight because I want to be able to adjust it.”
Wires and Display Connection
- Attaching the wires, matching yellow to yellow and black to black.
- Pushing them in tightly for a secure connection.
“They make it pretty simple as you can see yellow to Yellow…just get that in there…then next you’re going to match up the display…it’s black on black…push it in real tight.”
Bike Activation
- Activating the bike by pushing the power button for three seconds.
- Checking that the bike starts up properly.
“Push this thing for three seconds boom but there it is there it is fired right up.”
Adjusting Handlebars
- Sitting on the bike to determine the ideal handlebar position.
- Loosening the bottom brackets of the gooseneck, adjusting the handlebars, and then tightening them back up.
“I went ahead and sat on the bike to see where I was at with you know where the uh where the handlebars were so…I felt like I needed to move them forward…so the way you want to do that is you want to just loosen up the two bottom brackets of your little gooseneck, get the handlebars where you want it, and then just tighten them back up.”
Troubles and Break
- Struggles with a zip tie and installing the handlebars.
- Seat set too high causing imbalance and bending the kickstand.
- Ordering a new kickstand.
“I go to sit on the bike and I have the seat too high…because of that I start to fall over…now the kickstand is down so now the kickstand is taking 230 pounds of my weight…I bent it…I’m going to order a new kickstand.”
