Congratulations on the new bike ! You should be able to release the cam lever with one hand. If it takes two hands it is too tight. Loosen it up a little until you can release it with a firm pull with one hand. I use the heel of my hand to push the lever in to lock it down with a firm push then test it to see if I can release it firmly but with one hand. That is tight enough. The cam lever quick release is a great design, it actually provides more tension on the skewers than you would think because of the mechanical advantage from the cam levers.
Get some rides in with your new bike and let us know how it goes !
