Reverse your bike, let the fork up, insert the axle of front wheel to the dropouts of

the fork. When installing the front wheel, don’t forget to put in the secure washers,
tighten the nuts by a wrench or a spanner.

Then reverse the bike back to normal, kick the stand down, make sure your bike is
stable.

Attention: Watch the direction of the disc, the screws face out

front wheel and handlebar are in right positions before you secure the handlebar.
Also you can adjust the handlebar to a suitable position by loosing the nut in the
third picture.

cable into the hole of front brake lever, adjust the cable, lock the nuts, finally use
Allen Key to set the brake pads to right position.

A: Loose the nut, release the brake cable B : Insert the cable into the brake lever

G Bell H: Rotate the lever I: Secure the brake lever

Adjusting the angle your handbrake levers

Your bike has front and rear hand brake levers. The two levers require angle
adjustment and tightening for comfort and safety.

6

When your handlebars are properly set up, adjust the angle of the handbrake so
that they are easily accessible when your hands are on the handlebars.

The angle of the handbrake levers is generally a straight line from your shoulders
through your hands to the brakes. Tighten the position of the handbrake levers in
this position by tightening the hex nut with a 5mm hex key or allen wrench.

Attaching your free bell

Your folding bike comes with a free bell. It is recommended to attach the bell to the
right side of the handlebars. Loosen the screw on the attachment ring completely
with a screwdriver. Place the attachment ring around the handlebars and replace
and tighten the screw. The bell is rung by flicking the small tab.

Attaching your Mudguards and reflectors

This folding bike comes with the front and rear mudguards, you need attach them on the fork
and under the seat separately.

Connecting the seat to the post

Your bike includes a saddle that is not already connected to seat post, the saddle
must be secured to the post.

Insert the seat post into the bike frame with the tapered end on top. The seat post is
inserted into the plastic shim. Please make sure the seat post quick release is open
before inserting the seat post. Insert the post to a level
that leaves the tapered end of the seat post visible to
allow sufficient space to connect the saddle.

Close the quick release to lock the seat post in position.
The quick release should close with sufficient force to
lock the seat post into position.

To tighten the quick release mechanism, open the quick
release, hold the nut opposite the lever with one hand
and rotate the quick release lever clockwise a complete
rotation while holding the nut firmly. This will tighten the
entire quick release mechanism. Now close the quick
release lever. You will notice that the quick release lever
is more difficult to tighten.

If the quick release requires more tightening, unlock the
quick release and continue to rotate the quick release
lever while holding the bolt opposite the lever until the
quick release mechanism is appropriately tightened.
Repeat if necessary.

Place your saddle on top of the post by placing the seat post connector onto the
tapered end of the seat post. The seat post connector should be completed
inserted onto the seat post so that the tapered end rests on the triangular stop on

the seat post connector.
Angle the saddle so that it is parallel to the

ground or at a preferred angle for comfort when
seated on the bicycle.

Tighten the bolts on opposite sides of the seat

post connector with a 14mm or adjustable
wrench. Alternate sides after each rotation to tighten evenly: tighten one side a full
rotation, then the opposite side a full rotation, and vice-versa until each bolt is
completely tight and there is no movement in the saddle angle.

Connecting the pedals

Your folding bike includes a set of pedals, the pedals
are marked on the end of the pedal axle: “R” for “Right”
and “L” for “Left.” When seated on the bike, your right
foot would correspond to the right pedal and your left
foot would correspond to the left pedal.

Choose a pedal and start threading into the corresponding crank arm by hand
turning the pedal axle toward the front of the bike (both pedals thread in this
direction). If it does not thread easily do not force it and double check that you are
threading the appropriate pedal. Forcing the wrong pedal will damage the threading

on your pedal and crank arm.

Thread both pedals into the crank arms as far as you can by hand. Then fully
tighten them with a slender adjustable wrench or pedal wrench.

Unfolding/folding quick start guide

With a little practice, you should be able to fold or unfold your bike quickly and
easily. When folded, your bike should store the handlebars between the wheels.

9

When unfolding, swing your frame together. Make sure the quick release bolt snaps
into the frame folding box.

Tighten the quick release latch by pressing down the lever firmly.
NOTE: This lever should be tightened facing down as pictured to avoid interfering

with your legs while pedalling. You can adjust the tension on the quick release
levers by loosening or tightening the lever mechanism itself. Do not overtighten.

The frame folding quick release is attached to a vertical locking pin for safety. To
fold the frame, (a) position the unlocked frame quick release perpendicular to the
bike frame. While the quick release is perpendicular to the frame, (b) lift up
the lever to release the vertical locking pin from the frame. The frame lock (c)
will release and open.

Tire pressure

Look on the tire's sidewall for tire pressure recommendations. Don't exceed the
maximum tire pressure listed.

Check your tire pressure before every ride.

Front derailleur and rear derailleur

Normally you do not need to adjust the derailleurs, however, if you can’t change
gears properly, the below screws should be adjusted.
