Use your right hand to pull the whole hinge
upwards a little bit.At the same time press the
securing tab (2) downwards with your thumb.
Now lower the frame to open the folding
hinge.
Lower the frame until the protection plate be-
low the stem touches the ground.
Grab the rear frame part and swivel it to the
front.The strap mounted to the seattube must
be inserted into the fastener mounted under
the left crossbeam. Press the frame parts to-
gether until the rubber bumper attached to
the seattube touches the front frame part.
The chain tubes are connected by a flexible
rubber joint positioned in the area of the fold-
ing hinge. Make sure all cables and electric
wires are long enough to allow proper folding.
Taking off the front wheels
To achieve an even smaller package, you can
take off the front wheels (see
page 56
). It is al-
so possible to remove the mudguards in addi-
tion (see
page 52
).
Unfolding
To unfold and reassemble your trike, please
follow the steps above in the opposite order.
Make sure that after unfolding the quick
release lever rests on the front frame part.
Else the snap-in mechanism will not work pro-
perly.
Lift the folding hinge until the securing tab
snaps in.
Now close the quick release lever until it tou-
ches the rear frame part.
Taking off the seat
Open all three quick release levers of the seat
mountings. Unscrew the nut of the upper seat
quick release approximately 4 turns.Turn the
quick release levers of the middle and lower
seat quick release counter clockwise approxi-
mately 4 turns.
With a lowrider rack or water bottle moun-
ting installed, space is limited and it may be ea-
sier to hold the quick release lever and turn
the flat nut on the right side (chainside) of the
seat mountings with a 5 mm Allen key.
Pull the lower seat half out of its mountings,
then the upper seat half.
Folding the frame
Your Scorpion fx / fs folding hinge features a
snap-in function. It makes folding easier and
prevents the frame from folding even when the
quick release is not fastened.
To fold the frame stand in front of the main
frame’s crosstube and look to the rear wheel.
Grab the quick release lever on top of the fol-
ding hinge (1) and pull it upwards. Swivel the
lever until it touches the front frame part.

curing tab must be locked and the quick re-
lease lever must be lay on the rear frame
