Rules to Ride Safely
9
Know and Obey Local Road Laws
Most state and local areas have specic road laws. Obey these laws. The
necessary items such as lights and reectors change between areas. To learn
what is necessary, consult your local council or the Department of
Transportation (or the equivalent). It is the responsibility of the rider to remain
up-to-date with road laws. Me-Mover is not liable for infringements while riding
a Me-Mover FIT.
RESPECT
TRAFFIC LAW
These are examples of some important trac rules. Please note that these are
only a small number of rules - you must familiarise yourself fully with your local
road laws.
• When riding the Me-Mover FIT always hold on with both hands. Do not at-
tempt to ride with one hand.
• Mount a horn or bell on your Me-Mover FIT to tell people you are near
• Ride one at a time (single le) when you ride with other road users
• Ride on the correct side of the road; Do not ride in the opposite direction of
trac
• Ride defensively: be prepared for all situations
• Take care when riding over road curbs and/or uneven or badly maintained
roads.
• Use correct hand signals. Be careful when doing so, so you do not loose
balance.
9 Rules to Ride Safely
28Chapter
Wear Safety Gear
Wear a helmet that complies with your country’s legal safety standards. A
helmet can decrease or prevent injury.
It is advised that you also wear protective gear such as knee pads and elbow
pads.
Make Sure You Are Clearly Visible
You must ensure your Me-Mover FIT has a full set of reectors and lights that
are leaglly appropriate according to your country’s road laws. Make sure the
reectors are clean and in the correct position, and that your clothing or acces-
sories do not obstruct them.
Wear bright, and reective clothing to make it easier for others to spot you,
especially at night. If you ride at dusk, at night, or in low-visibility conditions,
consult your dealer to nd equipment or materials that help your vision and
that meet local requirements.
9 Rules to Ride Safely
29Chapter
Maximum Load
The Me-Mover FIT is suitable for both children and adults, however there are
weight restrictions. The pedal arms are pressed down by your body weight, thus
a certain amount of weight is needed. Anyone weighing less than 30kg could
have problems with applying enough force to lower the pedals, and could make
riding a challenge
The maximum load of a Me-Mover FIT is 100kg / 220lbs. Persons heavier than
100kg will risk damaging the Me-Mover FIT by bending the rear frame.
.
100 kg / 220 lbs
Think About Safety When You Ride
You can prevent many accidents if you use common sense and think about
safety. Here are some examples:
• Check your Me-Mover FIT before every ride
• Do not ride ‘no hands’ or with one hand
• Do not ride with a loose object or pet (or its leash) attached to the
handlebar or other part of your Me-Mover FIT
• Do not ride while intoxicated or while you use medication that can make you
drowsy
• Do not ‘ride double.’ The Me-Mover FIT is designed for only one rider
• Do not ride above your skill level
• Do not ride abusively
• Ride carefully when o-road. Ride only on the trails. Do not ride over rocks,
branches, or depressions. When you approach a descent use your rear
brake to decrease your speed
• Do not ride too fast. Higher speed causes higher risk. Higher speed results
in higher forces if a crash occurs. The Me-Mover FIT can reach speeds as
fast as 40 km/h, however only do this if you are an advanced rider. Children
should not ride fast and never without adult supervision
9 Rules to Ride Safely
30Chapter
Safeguarding
10
Lock your Me-Mover FIT
Safeguarding your Me-Mover FIT is essential in everyday use. Therefore always
use a secure, tough lock. Use a lock that resists bolt cutters and saws. Do not
park your Me-Mover FIT unless it is locked.
Loop the chain through the centreblock and the front wheel, and then secure it
to an immovable object. Engage the parking brake.
Packaging When You Ship Your Me-Mover FIT
If you need to package your Me-Mover FIT for travel, always use a hard case or
carton that will protect your Me-Mover FIT. Attach pads to all the frame and
fork tubes, and use a rigid block to protect the fork tips and maintain structural
support of the fork blades. If the Me-Mover FIT is not packaged correctly it could
be easily damaged in transit.
It is a good idea to save the box your Me-Mover FIT was shipped in for future
use.

Riding Instructions
11
WARNING!
Do not try the Me-Mover FIT in a crowded or high-trac area for the rst time.
WARNING!
Never attempt to ride with one hand, always hold on with both hands.
The Me-Mover FIT oers a totally unique riding feel that requires only minutes
to learn. Follow these simple instructions to start riding your new Me-Mover FIT.
You can also watch our video : bit.ly/1ryQn71
1. Find an area without trac to practice in.
Ensure that it is a at, straight, safe stretch with at surface.
2. Make sure both pedals are in the bottom position.
3. Adjust the foot straps: place one foot fully onto the pedal - not just the ball of
the foot. Gently tighten the foot strap until it ts comfortably around your foot.
Repeat on the other foot.
4. Stand next to your Me-Mover FIT. Ensure the parking brakes are not engaged.
5. Grab the handlebar and hold the brake(s) tight.
Place one foot into the pedals at a time – for stability purposes place your foot
closest to the Me-Mover FIT in the pedal rst.
6. Keep holding the brake(s) tight and lean gently to either side to nd your
balance, and to get the feeling of the unique carving motion the Me-Mover FIT
oers.
11 Riding Instructions
32Chapter
7. Lift one leg to the highest comfortable point .
8. Let go of the brake(s). You will move slightly forward, and at this point you
have to lift your other foot. Only concentrate on lifting your feet. Alternate
lifting them as though you are walking up a ight of stairs. Eventually you will lift
your second foot before the rst foot will reach the bottom of the pedal stroke.
There is no need to forcibly push the pedal downwards, because your body
weight will automatically push the pedal down when the other pedal is being
lifted.
9. The higher the pedal rises, the lower the gear is. The position of the stroke
determines the gear.
10. Enjoy!

WARNING!
Due to the very compact design and short wheel-base it is possible to do an
unintended ‘wheelie’.
Always lean forwards when riding the Me-Mover FIT. Keep your centre of
gravity between the front wheel and the rear wheels at all times.
11 Riding Instructions
33Chapter
WARNING!
Although you can learn to ride the Me-Mover FIT in minutes, do not ride on
challenging terrain or in trac areas until you are practiced and have
100% control of the Me-Mover FIT. It is your own responsibility to practice
suciently on the Me-Mover FIT before entering crowded areas. Always wear
protective gear, such as a helmet and protective pads. Never ride the
Me-Mover FIT while intoxicated.

About Mechanical Work
Incorrect Mechanical Work Can Make Your Me-Mover FIT Unsafe
The instructions in this User Manual are for the everyday user and are designed
to help you with assembly and minor repair work. There are some very specic
requirements that must be met when handling the Me-Mover FIT. Something as
simple as an under-tightened screw can, over time, cause a part to break and
lead to an accident.
We recommend you have your Me-Mover FIT professionally serviced every year.

Modications to Your Me-Mover FIT Can Make it Unsafe
Each and every part of your new Me-Mover FIT has been carefully selected and
approved. The safety of accessory or replacement parts, and especially how
those parts attach and interface with other parts of the Me-Mover FIT, is not
always apparent. For this reason, you should only replace parts with original
equipment or parts that are approved.
If you are not sure what parts are approved, contact us at:
support@me-mover.com.
Necessary Regular Maintenance
This maintenance schedule is based on normal use. If you ride your Me-Mover
FIT more than average, or in rain, snow, or o- road conditions, do maintenance
on your Me-Mover FIT more frequently than the schedule recommends. If a
part malfunctions, check and service it immediately. If a part has wear or dam-
age, replace it before you ride your Me-Mover FIT again.
After initial use your Me-Mover FIT should be checked. As an example, cables
stretch through use, and this can aect the operation of the brakes.
Even if you do not ride your Me-Mover FIT much, have your Me-Mover FIT fully
serviced each year.
Lubrication
Lubricating the Chains and Locking Bolt
Lubricated Locking Bolt and chains are essential for a safe ride. There are three
chains in the transmission. The chain that rotates with the wheel must be lubri-
cated once a week, while the other two need to be lubricated once a year. An
unlubricated chain can cause accidents and injuries.
We highly recommend you use Cross Country FINISH LINE Wet Lubricant. You
can purchase this at most bicycle shops.
12 Maintenance
36Chapter
Every Day, or Before Getting on Your Me-Mover FIT
1. Check the locking bolt has clicked in place
2. Ensure your foot straps are securely tightened to your foot
3. Check and tighten all Quick Releases securely
4. Examine the brake cables for any problems: kinks, rust, broken strands, or a
frayed end
5. Check the brake calipers are clean so both the front and rear brakes
function properly
6. Tilt the Me-Mover FIT to one side, lift the pedal arm and let it fall freely. The
wheel should spin freely. Repeat on the other wheel. If there is resistance or
a scratching sound, clean the brake discs
7. Ensure the tyre pressure is sucient, if not then inate the tyre further
8. Ensure the front and rear lights and reectors are mounted securely and are
not obstructed
9. Clean your Me-Mover FIT by spraying it down with cold water then wiping it
with a damp cloth if needed
NOTE: Be careful about cleaning your Me-Mover FIT with cold water in the
winter

Lubricating the Locking bolt
The locking bolt must be lubricated every week. As it is positioned on the
underside of the Me-Mover FIT it can be exposed to water, dirt, sand and other
sediments. The mudguard is in place to prevent this, however even a slight
amount of sediment can jam the locking bolt.
To lubricate the locking bolt:
1. Fold the Me-Mover FIT and stand it upright
2. Apply one drop onto the top of the locking bolt and pull the lever back and
forth to spread the lubrication along the locking bolt.

Lubricating the wheel chain:
1. Place your Me-Mover FIT upside down as shown.
2. Drop 3-4 drops into the little hole on the back of the transmission cover and
pump the pedal up and down to rotate the chain on the inside. This ensures
that the lubricant is distributed along the entire chain.

2. Apply the lubricant directly onto the chains as you rotate the individual
wheels. Ensure the wheel makes enough rotations so the oil covers the en-
tire chain suciently.
NOTE: The large chain endures the most force while riding, so it is para-
mount that it gets a good amount of lubrication.

4. Repeat on the other transmission.
CAUTION!
Use EXTREME caution when tightening screws as only a very small amount of
torque is necessary and over-tightening is very easy.

Repairs and Adjustments
13
This section provides instructions for repairs and adjustment of the parts of the
Me-Mover FIT. The parts are divided into subsections to make it easier for you
to locate the relevant instructions.
Please note that these repairs and adjustments are only minor. If your
Me-Mover FIT has substantial damage or breakage you must contact Me-Mover
at support@me-mover.com and we will arrange the necessary repairs.
Your warranty only covers the main parts, and excludes any wear-and-tear.
It is extremely important that you follow the given instructions precisely, as
every part of the Me-Mover FIT has specic requirements.
A Word about Torque Specications
Torque is a measure of the tightness of a screw or bolt. For every screw or bolt
you can tighten there is a torque specication. These specications are listed in
the relevant sections in the Repairs and Adjustments on page 41.
Some screws on the Me-Mover FIT are very fragile and only require a little
amount of torque. All of the aluminium screws on the handlebar and all
of the screws securing the transmission covers require only a force of 5
Newton Metres. This is not a lot of force and can easily be exceeded if you are
not careful. Always use the correct tools. There are devices that can measure
the amount of Newton metres.
CAUTION!
Make sure you do not apply too much torque, as this can cause damage or
break the part. However, a screw or bolt that is too loose can also lead to
damage and could cause a part to break.

41Chapter
Handlebar
Handlebar Adjustment
The handlebar is important for control and safety while riding the Me-Mover
FIT.
To fasten the handlebar follow these steps:
1. Using a 4mm hex key rotate the four screws in a clockwise direction.
Torque specications: 5 Newton metres
CAUTION!
These aluminium screws are extremely delicate and do not require a lot of
torque. It is easy to over-tighten so do not exceed the torque specications
given above.
NOTE: you can adjust the angle of the brake handles by adjusting the
handlebar. When you have found the desired position secure the handlebar
screws as indicated.

Steering
Steering Height Adjustment
The steering column can be adjusted to suit people of dierent heights. To
adjust the height, you must use the Quick Release on the steering column.
1. Hold the clamp OPEN while you rotate the nut in a clockwise direction.
2. Rotate the nut until you cannot close the clamp anymore. Then release the
nut slightly so you can JUST close the clamp.
Nut
Clamp
3. To close the clamp push it rmly inwards. Align the clamp with the
centreblock, so the clamp does not stick out of the Me-Mover FIT.
4. Test the tightness of the steering column by trying to push down on it. If it
does not move then it has been fastened securely. If you are able to adjust
the height simply by applying force, you must rotate the nut a few more
rotations and then close the clamp.
CAUTION! WARNING!
Do not heighten past the
mark. If the minimum mark on the steering
column is visible you have heightened it too much. This will weaken the
stability of the steering column and will risk injury and/or damage to your
Me-Mover FIT.
CAUTION!
Do not turn the handlebar more than 90˚ in each direction otherwise the
brake cables will become tangled, which can lead to broken brake cables.
13 Repair and Adjustments
43Chapter
Brakes
The brake system allows you to slow down or stop your Me-Mover FIT. The
Me-Mover FIT is equipped with brake discs. The maintenance and operation
of the brake discs is critical for your safety and driving experience. You should
keep your brake discs clean. lease use caution when wiping them.
How Does a Brake Disc Work?
A cable connects the brake disc with the brake handle. Pulling the brake handle
causes the brake pads to apply pressure to a brake disc attached to the wheel,
thus increasing friction and slowing down your Me-Mover FIT.
WARNING!
The brake disc can get very hot during use and could burn skin. Also, the disc
edges can be sharp and could cut skin. Do not touch the brake disc when hot
or when in motion.
Parking Brake
Your Me-Mover FIT is equipped with parking brakes to prevent your Me-Mover
FIT from rolling away when parked. To engage the parking brake push the red
tab outward.
Brake Check
Walk alongside your Me-Mover FIT and try to brake with each brake individually.
You should be able to stop the Me-Mover FIT when in motion with each brake.
Pull the brake handle to make sure the brake moves freely and stops your
Me-Mover FIT. If the brake handle can be pulled to the handlebar, the brake is
too loose. If you cannot pull the brake handle at all then the brake is too tight.
Additionally, make the individual wheels spin to listen for friction between the
brake pads and the brake dics. If you hear a scratching sound causing the wheel
rotation to slow down, please adjust your brakes as they are too tight.
When the brake is not applied, the brake-pads should be 0.25-0.75mm away
from the brake disc. If the pads are too near the brake disc, the brake is not in
alignment or the brake is too tight.
13 Repair and Adjustments
44Chapter
WARNING!
The rear brake will bring you to a gradual halt. The front brake can bring you
to a sudden halt, so please use it cautiously. In wet or slippery conditions, and
when carving around corners, please be very cautious with the front brake.
Do not use the Me-Mover FIT if the brakes do not work properly.
CAUTION!
Do not turn the handlebar more than 90˚ in each direction otherwise the
brake cables will become tangled, which can lead to broken brake cables.
Brake Adjustment
Once you have tested your brakes you will know if they are too loose or too
tight.
To adjust your brakes:
1. Release the lock nut.
2. Unscrew the adjustment screw until the tension of the brake handle feels
good.
3. Tighten the lock nut.

Centre block
Locking Bolt
The locking bolt is the little black lever located underneath the centre block. The
locking bolt is part of the folding mechanism. It is the part that clicks into place
when you unfold your Me-Mover FIT.
WARNING!
If the locking bolt does not operate properly do not ride your Me-Mover FIT
under any circumstances.
It is paramount that this locking bolt is maintained and kept clean. Lubricate it
every week. Refer to Lubricating the Locking bolt on page 38.
If it gets too dirty or if sand gets in it could jam the locking bolt. If you ride on
dirty, muddy, sandy, or dusty terrain, ensure you lubricate the locking bolt. This
will decrease the likelihood of your locking bolt jamming.
Lubricate the locking bolt using the Cross Country FINISH LINE Wet Lubricant
and follow the instructions on page 38 .
If your locking bolt jams, please contact us immediately. It is not easy to repair
and is also very costly to do so. Do not attempt to x it or replace it yourself.

Carving Fastener
There are two carving fasteners on your Me-Mover FIT. They are located on ei-
ther side of the centre block. The carving fasteners connect the individual tubes
of the rear frame to the centre block. The carving fasteners enable the unique
carving motion of the Me-Mover FIT.
In order to maintain exibility and safety while riding, the carving fasteners must
always be securely tightened. When assembled, the fasteners are locked into
place with an engineering adhesive. However, in very rare circumstances they
could come loose.
If the carving fasteners come loose you must tighten them using a 8mm hex
key in a clockwise direction.

Wheels, Tyres and Tubes
The wheels are critical for a safe and smooth ride. Their attachment and
integrity are important for your safety.
Tyre Pressure
Since the Me-Mover FIT has small wheels the tyre pressure is extremely import-
ant for smooth riding feel. If the tyre pressure is too low the rolling resistance is
very high. Ensure the tyre pressure is at 5 bars or 72 PSI.
CAUTION!
The wheels and rims are specically approved for the Me-Mover FIT. Do not
use any non-approved parts as this can cause damage to your Me-Mover FIT
and void your warranty.
Inspection of Wheels
Before every ride, check the wheel attachment and tyre ination.
Each month, check tyres for a worn area or damage. Make sure the wheel (hub)
bearings are correctly adjusted and tight.
The rear wheels are secured with an engineering adhesive, so there is a minor
risk to come loose. In case they do you must tighten them using a 6mm
hex key.
Flat Tyres
If you experience a at tyre it is most likely because the tube has been
punctured. In order to x this you must replace the tube or repair it. To replace
a tyre or a tube on your Me-Mover FIT we advise using a tyre repair kit. You can
purchase these at most bicycle shops. We recommend Zefal Kit May Day.
Use the Correct Size
When purchasing spare tyres, tubes, rim strips, or other replacements, always
ensure you are using the correct size of replacement component.
Me-Mover uses a standard tyre where the air inside the tyre is contained in an
inner tube, and the tyre is on a standard rim. This is a very common type of tyre
and is the easiest to repair.

then you can easily purchase these patches at most bicycle repair shops.
If the tube is unxable then replace the tube.
9. Before you re-insert the tube, inate it a little so it just keeps its shape. This
will ease the positioning of the tube in the rim and tyre.
10. First slot the valve through the hole. Ensure the valve is pointing outside and
not into the wheel. Then place the rest of the tube back in.
11. Insert the tyre bead back into the rim using your hands. When you can no
longer use your ngers to insert the bead, use the tyre lever.
CAUTION!
Do not twist the tube when you are doing this. Twisting can cause the tube to
rupture.
12. When you have reinserted the tyre you must re-inate the tube. Inate it to
MAX 5 bars (maximum 72 PSI).
CAUTION!
Do not pinch the tube between the rim and the tyre.
13. Re-attach the tyre to the front fork and close the Quick Release. Ensure you
slot the brake disc between the brake pads.
14. Rotate the wheel. If you hear a scratching sound you have to reposition the
wheel. To adjust the brakes refer to Brake Adjustment on page 45.
Rear wheels

riding fast ( When you
are pressing down the
pedals it takes a second
before the mechanism

inside the gearbox is
probably worn down,
so friction inside is
increased. (This means
the return system is not
fast enough to pull back)
The overall friction
inside the axles need
lubrication
