Learn how to install a silver water bottle cage on your Flyer eBike, check bottle fit, and avoid the most common mounting mistakes.
Quick answer
Mount the silver water bottle cage to your Flyer eBike's frame bosses using the included bolts, then test bottle retention with the bottle you plan to carry before your first ride.
Why bottle cage placement matters on an eBike
On a folding cargo bike or cruiser, the frame often has limited open space. A cage mounted too close to a hinge or cable can block folding or rub the housing. Before drilling or forcing anything, check that the cage clears moving parts through their full range.
When the cage does not fit your frame
The Water Bottle Cage is designed for standard frame bosses, but not every Flyer model lists exposed mounting points. If your frame lacks threaded bosses, do not clamp the cage to a thin tube or use zip ties as a permanent fix. Check your bike's manual or contact support before modifying the frame.
Mounting steps
- Check your frame bosses: Look for two threaded holes on the down tube or seat tube, spaced to match the cage. Common mistake: assuming every Flyer frame has bosses without checking. If you see no threaded holes, stop and confirm fit with support before buying bolts or adapters.
- Test-fit the cage before tightening: Hold the cage against the bosses and confirm it clears cables, hinges, and the folding mechanism. Common mistake: tightening bolts first and discovering the cage blocks a moving part. Fold and unfold your bike once with the cage held in place to confirm clearance.
- Insert and hand-tighten the bolts: Thread both bolts by hand first to avoid cross-threading, then tighten with a hex key until the cage is snug. Common mistake: over-tightening and cracking the cage or stripping the frame insert. Stop tightening as soon as the cage stops moving; do not force past snug.
- Load your bottle and check retention: Insert the bottle you plan to use and shake the bike gently. The cage should hold it securely without rattle. Common mistake: testing with an empty bottle and ignoring a loose fit with a full one. If the bottle rattles, check that the cage arms are not bent and that the bottle is standard diameter.
