Bakcou Mule, Assembly

BAKCOU.COM

READ BEFORE USE

24. Make sure to check all nuts and bolts to 

ensure they have not loosened during 

shipping. 

25. Battery typically has a partial charge straight 

from the box.  Riding the bike straight out 

of the box will not impact battery life or 

compromise the battery in any way. 

26. Battery can be charged while on the bike or it 

can be removed and charged off of the bike.  

27. Keys are only used to remove battery from 

bike. Simply insert key into lock and turn, 

while pulling out and up on battery handle 

to remove battery.

28. To re-insert battery, key is not needed: simply 

place bottom of battery into lower slot and 

firmly push top of battery into upper slot.  

(Note: make sure battery is locked firmly 

into place prior to riding as a loose battery 

may cause inadvertent loss of power, or 

battery may fall out of chamber and become 

damaged. After reinserting, check battery 

attachment by pulling out and up on handle 

to ensure it is securely fastened) 

29. Assembly is now complete, however, 

minor adjustments are often necessary 

to precisely fit ebike to rider.  These 

adjustments can include rotating locking 

handle grips, moving/rotating brake levers, 

throttle, and shifters. These adjustments  

are easily performed. However, feel free  

to contact us via email or phone with  

any questions.

30. Note: A Suspension Adjustment video and 

Display Use video can each be viewed 

under “Support” on the Bakcou website. 

Note: Located at the bottom of some 

right front forks is a blue knob called 

a shock dampener.  This knob is used 

to control the rebound speed of the 

fork. Knob can be twisted clockwise 

to close or counter-clockwise to open, 

thus allowing more or less air flow to 

increase/decrease rebound speed. Make 

certain to tighten the screw inside the 

dampener knob and we recommend 

using Loctite on the threads to keep 

screw in place.  After tightening screw 

tighten (clockwise) the dampener knob 

and then back off 1 ½ turns. After  

getting used to your Mule’s suspension, 

adjust accordingly. 

31. It may be necessary to adjust your 

derailleur prior to first use. Refer to our 

Troubleshooting Shifting Problems video on 

the Bakcou website for support adjusting 

your derailleur, or visit your local bike shop 

for assistance.

32. Two “green” rolls of puncture proof tire liners 

may be located in the bike box or in the tool 

kit box. The liner goes in between the tube 

and the tire. If the liners are not in the box 

or tool kit box then they were installed at 

the factory. Some riders prefer to use these 

liners as well as a tube sealant such as Flat 

Out for added protection from punctures. 

The liner will add some weight to the tire 

and does affect the flexibility of the rubber 

thus slightly changing how the tire rolls 

across some terrain. We strongly encourage 

using the puncture proof liner when riding 

in areas with heavy “goat heads” or other 

tube puncturing thorns. (Bakcou YouTube 

instructional video available online)

33. Regular and routine maintenance of your 

ebike is not only recommended, but highly 

essential to ensure proper function, safety, 

and longevity of your ebike.   

See owners manual for further instruction.     

34. Always wear a helmet and other 

protective gear while riding.

35. Always know and observe traffic and trail 

laws and regulations.
