ROLLING YOUR FOLDED BICYCLE
Rolling the Bike
Your Montague bicycle is designed
to be rolled while folded to make
transportation easier. In order to roll
the bike, the frame must be folded and
locked together, with the handlebars
in the upright position. Keeping the
handlebars in the upright position
provides a place to hold the bike while
rolling.
1. Follow steps 1 through 8 in “Folding
Your Montague Bicycle” (pages 34 -
36). Do not fold down the handlebars
or open the handlebar stem quick
release.
2. Grasp the handlebars with the drive
unit of the bike facing away from you.
3. Press down both brake levers with
your thumbs, and tilt the bike toward
you. Activating the brakes will lock
the wheels and allow you to pivot the
bike to a balanced position (Fig. 39).
4. With the motor side of the bike
raised, release the brakes, and the
bike should now easily balance. You
can now roll the bike front of you
while walking (Fig. 39).
5. In order to set the bike down, press
both brake levers to activate the
brakes, and pivot the bike away from
you until it rests on the kickstand. Be
careful not to drop the weight of the
bike onto the kickstand as it could
cause damage.
