Introduction
Folding bicycles have special components that
are different from regular bicycles. Please read
this manual carefully before using your bicycle.
We promise, it won’t be a waste of time.
Some models are packaged with the right pedal
detached. We recommend that the right pedal be
installed along with the initial check of the bicycle.
Tip for Installing Pedals
Note the shaft end of each pedal. On the
shaft of each pedal will be the letter “R”
(right) or “L” (left), defining which side of the bicy-
cle on which the pedal should be installed.
To install the pedals, start by threading the pedal
shaft into the pedal hole on the corresponding
crank arm using your hands.
The right pedal will be on the same side as the
chain. With a 15mm open-end wrench, tighten
the right pedal clockwise. Place the left pedal on
the other side and tighten in a counterclockwise
direction.
Suggested Height and Weight
You and your entire load must weigh less than 95
kg (210 lb) on bicycles with 20” wheels or 100 kg
(220 lb) on bicycles with 24’’ wheels.
If you are carrying extra weight or bags, make
sure that the bicycle is stable.
Our bicycles are designed for riders from 4’8” to
6’3” (1.40 to 1.90 meters) tall.
Traffic Safety
This manual is for reference only and should not
be considered a complete guide. Please seek oth-
er sources of safety and local traffic laws before
riding your bicycle.
Always wear your helmet and stay alert while
riding.
Follow the flow of traffic and ride in desig-
nated bicycle lanes.
Keep yourself visible to cars and avoid riding
your bicycle in blind spots for drivers.
Make eye contact with drivers when possible;
signal your intentions.
Watch for holes in the road or sidewalk sur-
face and other hazards such as opening car
doors or children playing.
Some places require the use of lights and
other accessories, while cycling may be pro-
hibited in some areas. Check local laws and
regulations and obey them while riding.
Do not use headphones or sunglasses that
affect your vision while riding your bicycle.
Do not ride your bicycle while under the
influence of drugs or alcohol.
Our bicycles are designed for regular use on paved
roads by adult riders (13 years old and above).
Jumps or stunts can damage the bicycle and put the
rider at risk of injury or death.
WARNING
Your bicycle comes fully assembled and folded in
the box. Nevertheless, it is essential that a profes-
sional bicycle mechanic check this product before
you use it.
The mechanic should check and ensure that the

er components are properly installed and adjusted.
