6. Mechanical Safety Check
.
Here is a simple, sixty-second mechanical safety check that you should get in the habit of making every time you’re about to get
on a StreetStrider. For more details, watch the StreetStrider Workshop videos on the Support page of our website
www.streetstrider.com
.
Nuts and Bolts
Lift the rear wheel off the ground by 2-3 inches, then let it bounce on the ground. If anything sounds, feels
or looks loose, do a quick visual and tactile inspection of the whole StreetStrider. If any loose parts or accessories are found,
secure them. If you’re not sure, ask someone with experience to check. NOTE: As with any machine, check your Eclipse and
JET periodically to make sure all nuts and bolts are tightened.
Tires and Wheels
NOTE: The two front wheels of the JET are not air-filled and do not require filling. To check if your
tires are correctly inflated, check by standing on the platforms with the brake on and then bouncing your weight on the
StreetStrider while looking at tire deflection. Compare what you see with how it looks when you know the tires are correctly
inflated. Add air if necessary. To check if your tires are in good shape, spin each wheel slowly and look for cuts in the tread and
sidewall. Replace damaged tires before StreetStriding. To check if your wheels are true, spin each wheel - if a wheel wobbles
side to side or hits the brake pads, take the StreetStrider to a qualified bicycle shop to have the wheel trued. CAUTION: Wheels
must be true for the brakes to work effectively. Wheel truing is a skill that requires special tools and experience. Do not
attempt to true a wheel unless you have the knowledge and tools needed to do the job correctly.
Brakes
Squeeze the brake lever. Adjust your brake if the following is true: the brake does not clamp the rear wheel properly,
the brake shoes do not contact the wheel rim or hub drum within an inch of brake lever movement, or you cannot apply full
braking force at the lever without having it touch the hand grip. Do not ride your StreetStrider until the brake is properly adjusted.
WARNING: Riding with an improperly adjusted brake or worn brake shoes is dangerous and can result in serious injury
or death. Do not attempt to adjust your brake or wheels while the StreetStrider is in motion.
WARNING: Do not engage in any activity that exceeds your riding ability and skill. Practice new riding skills in a safe
controlled environment. Keep hands, fingers and feet away from all moving parts while the StreetStrider is in motion,
including the tires, wheels, brake and brake cable.
NOTE: Like any sport, StreetStriding involves the risk of serious injury, damage and death. By choosing to use a
StreetStrider, you assume the responsibility for the risk, not the people who sold the StreetStrider to you, nor the
people who made it, nor the people who distribute it, nor the people who manage or maintain the roads or trails on
which you ride. So you need to know and practice the rules of safe and responsible StreetStriding.
Now buckle on your helmet and enjoy your StreetStrider.
