FOLDING BIKE INSTRUCTIONS
Some models of folding bikes have a large hinge in the middle that allows folding of the bike for
storage or transportation. These instructions explain how to fold and unfold a folding bike.
When operating folding mechanisms, keep fi ngers and other body parts out from items
which are folded. Also keep cables and housing from being pinched, as this can damage the cables.
To adjust the tension of a quick-release
1. More the quick-release lever to the OPEN position (Figure 1.2).
2. With the lever about halfway between the OPEN position and the CLOSED position,
tighten the quick-release adjusting nut (Figure 1.3) until fi nger-tight.
3. Place the lever in the palm of your hand and throw the lever as shown in (Figure 1.4)
to the CLOSED position.
Inspection
Before every ride, make sure the frame latch, lower stem quick-release,
and other quick-release mechanisms are properly adjusted and closed.
Check that the frame latch is closed and the frame has become a rigid structure by
attempting to move the center of the frame laterally, from side to side.
If there is any motion, take your bike to your dealer for service.
Folding and unfolding the bike
Folding is done without tools, and takes only a minute. Before starting,
make sure you are familiar with the proper operation of a quick-release.
