Installation Guide

Place the pole on the left rear of your bike frame to assess the mounting position.

• Avoid mounting where the straps may interfere with brake or shifting cables.
• Position the pole as far back as possible so it doesn't interfere with your pedaling. The pole only needs to extend past the bottom of the frame by about ¼".
• The frame and pole should form a triangle with approximately 4" sides for 40" poles, and 6" sides for 60" poles.
• For best aesthetics, angle the pole to match the angle of your seat post.

Start with the top point where the pole meets the frame. Wrap the strap tightly around the pole and frame.

On the last wrap around the pole and frame, place your finger under the strap. Then pull the end of the strap through where your finger was to secure it.

Simply wrap a zip tie around the pole and frame and zip it tight. Repeat for the bottom of the pole. Use a total of 4 zip ties for safety.

Route the USB-C cable from the controller to your frame bag or saddle bag. Be sure to keep it clear of the wheel, shifters, and brakes. Use extra straps to secure the cable if needed.

Loosen the rear axle on your bike.

Slide the axle mount into place on the left side of the bike and re-tighten the axle. Take care to make sure the chain is taut and the rear wheel is still straight.

Mount a USB-C battery and route the USB-C cable to the controller.

This example uses the full frame kit, starting with the top tube of the frame. You can start with either the top tube or the bottom tube, but take note that only the second LED strip can be cut to length. Plan accordingly.

Some light programs feature 360-degree effects, so place each strip in its designated location:

Clean each mounting surface to remove dirt and oils. This ensures the adhesive bonds properly. Use the provided Adhesive Preparation wipes for best results. Isopropyl alcohol wipes also work great and are less likely to fog any paint clear-coating.

Remove the adhesive backing and apply the LED strips to the frame.

Use zip ties at each end of the strips for extra security.

Route the USB-C cable from the controller to your battery.

Power on and enjoy your new lights!

Choose smooth surfaces for each strip. Avoid locations that move when the stroller is folded or areas that may need to be removed for cleaning. Plan where the wires will be routed (Step 4) to ensure the wiring won't interfere with folding the stroller.

Remove the adhesive backing and apply the LED strips one by one. Route the wires through openings in the stroller frame that won't pinch when the stroller is folded.

Route the long wire that connects the left and right sides. Many strollers have removable bottom baskets, which provide a convenient place to hide the wire.

Route the front strip wire and apply the strip to a front-facing location. Position the strip under the stroller's front step so it won't get stepped on or kicked.

If any strips are too long, carefully trim them at the designated cut points. Wire cutters work best, but sharp scissors will also work.

Use a zip tie at each end of the strips for extra security. You may need to connect two zip ties end-to-end to reach around larger stroller hardware.

Cut the excess zip tie material for a clean finish. Wire cutters work best, but sharp scissors will also work.

Plug in the controller using the provided USB-C cable or your own USB-C power source.

Verify that all LED strips light up. If any strip doesn't illuminate, check for any damage to the LED strips. Contact us for support.
