Bringing home your new Voltrover electric dirt bike is an exciting moment—but if you’ve just opened the box and see several parts waiting to be installed, don’t worry! You’re not alone. Unlike fully pre-assembled bikes, Voltrover arrives with key components separated for safe shipping. This means you’ll complete a few essential assembly steps before the first ride.
The good news? Every step is designed to be doable by parents with basic tools—and we’ve created official tutorials for each one. Think of this guide as your roadmap to a safe, confident build.
1. What’s in the Box (and What Needs Assembly)
Your Voltrover arrives with the main frame, motor, and rear swingarm partially assembled—but several critical parts are packed separately for protection during transit. These include:
- Front wheel (with rotor detached or loosely mounted)
- Handlebars and stem
- Seat and seat post
- Rear shock absorber
- Front and rear fenders
- LCD display unit
- Battery and left-side baffle cover
- Brake cables (may need final routing)
All necessary hardware (bolts, spacers, screws) and a basic tool kit (including Allen keys) are included. You’ll also receive a user manual with safety instructions and torque guidance.
💡 Tip: Before you start, watch our official unboxing video to confirm you have every part. If anything is missing or damaged, take a screenshot, note the part name, and contact support right away.
2. Tools You’ll Actually Use
You won’t need a garage full of gear—just a few common tools:
- Included: 4 mm and 5 mm Allen keys
-
Recommended:
- Phillips screwdriver (for fenders and display)
- 8 mm, 12 mm, and 14 mm wrenches (for rotor bolts, axle nuts, and rear shock)
- Floor pump with pressure gauge
- Clean rag and scissors (for unpacking)
Most families complete assembly in under 60 minutes using these basics.
3. Key Assembly Steps – Official Tutorial Highlights
Below are the core tasks you’ll perform, each backed by a dedicated Voltrover video tutorial:
3.1 Install the Rear Shock Absorber
This is crucial for ride comfort and control on rough terrain.
- ✅ Remove existing mounting bolts
- ✅ Align the shock with upper/lower brackets
- ✅ Insert bolts and tighten using a 12 mm + 14 mm wrench combo for proper torque
⚠️ Never overtighten—this can damage bushings or frame mounts.
3.2 Mount the Front Wheel & Disc Rotor
Stability starts here.
- ✅ Remove shipping spacers from the axle
- ✅ Install large and small spacers on opposite sides
- ✅ Slide wheel into fork, align disc rotor with caliper
- ✅ Tighten axle nut evenly—wheel should spin freely with no side play
- ✅ Attach rotor using original screws; tighten evenly with an 8 mm wrench
⚠️ Re-torque rotor bolts after your first ride. Over-tightening can warp the rotor!
3.3 Secure the Handlebars & LCD Display
Safety and visibility depend on this.
- ✅ Temporarily align handlebars with front wheel
- ✅ Tighten stem clamp bolts in a cross pattern (top-left → bottom-right, etc.)
- ✅ Mount LCD display using Phillips screws—ensure it’s level and secure
💡 The display shows speed, battery level, odometer, and more—so double-check alignment!
3.4 Route the Brake Cable Properly
A loose cable = dangerous ride.
- ✅ Follow the built-in frame guides to route the brake line
- ✅ Clip into every holder to prevent rattling or rubbing
- ✅ Ensure no kinks or tension near moving parts (chain, suspension, wheels)
⚠️ A misrouted cable can wear through or cause brake failure—always inspect before riding.
3.5 Install Battery, Left Baffle & Fenders
Protect your investment.
- ✅ Remove battery fixing plate
- ✅ Attach left-side baffle to shield electronics from mud and debris
- ✅ Reinstall battery, connect + and – terminals correctly
- ✅ Secure front and rear fenders with included screws
⚠️ Always disconnect the battery before working near electrical parts. Reversing polarity can damage the controller!
4. Torque Tips: “Snug” Is Your Friend
Voltrover uses lightweight aluminum and alloy parts—so overtightening is a real risk. You don’t need a torque wrench, but follow these rules:
- Tighten until firmly snug, then add ¼ turn max
- For multi-bolt clamps (like handlebars), tighten in a cross pattern
- If a bolt feels like it’s stripping or the tool slips—stop and loosen slightly
- When in doubt, refer to our video tutorials—they show the exact “feel” of proper tightness
5. First-Ride Safety Checklist
Before your child’s first ride, verify:
- ✅ Battery is locked in place and display powers on
- ✅ Brakes feel firm (not spongy) and stop the wheel cleanly
- ✅ Throttle responds smoothly and returns to zero
- ✅ Wheels spin freely with no wobble or rubbing
- ✅ All bolts (stem, seat, fenders, shock) are secure
- ✅ Tire pressure matches the PSI on the sidewall (use a gauge!)
Take a short test ride yourself in a safe area—listen for odd noises, check handling, and confirm everything feels solid.
Once you’ve completed these steps, your Voltrover is ready for adventure. And remember: every assembly task has a matching official Voltrover tutorial video—so you’re never guessing. Happy riding!
