long enough to allow proper folding.
The chain tubes are connected by a flexible
rubber joint positioned in the area of the fold-
ing hinge. Grab the both chain tubes at the
rubber joint with one hand and pull them up
and tight to the folding hinge. Move the front
frame half backwards until it rests on the rub-
ber bumper attached to the middle seat quick
release. Secure the folded bike by inserting the
plastic strap into the fastener mounted under
the front frame part.
If you have Above seat steering, secure the
