Folding the Bike
The Dillenger Cheetah conveniently folds so that it can be put
in the boot of a car, taken on a bus or train, or taken away in a
caravan. Folding takes only seconds and can be completed in a
few easy steps.
●
Reduce the height of the handlebars
●
Fold the handlebars down, undo the quick release lever,
depress the secondry restraint pin and fold them to side
●
Put the seat all the way down (optional, but reduces the size
when folded)
●
Undo the frame folding joint quick release lever and move it
to the side
●
Lift the lever vertically to release the locking pin, the frame
is now free to fold
If you plan to lift the bike in and out of the car, it can be easier
to manoeuvre the bike by removing the battery first as it will
reduce the overall weight of the bike.
Fault
Solution
My handlebars won’t
fold down
Check that the quick release lever is moved out of the way and
that the pin that acts as a secondary restraint is pushed in.
My frame won’t fold
Check that the quick release lever is moved out of the way and
then make sure that you lift the quick release mechanism verti-
cally, then fold the frame. There is a secondary pin which acts as
a safety device to make sure that the frame cannot unfold while
riding.
My bike won’t fold all
the way together
When folding the bike, the front wheel can sit a couple of differ-
ent ways. Try folding the bike with the wheel on the other side.
Be careful however not to damage the headlight or the wiring by
forcing the handlebars/front wheel around too far.
