Swing the rear section of the frame up and to
the left. Be sure to lift the chaintubes as shown
in the photo. This will allow the chain to fold
over properly.
Put the neoprene mat between any parts that
touch after the fold.
Swing the QR and its connecting pin
backwards 90 degrees.
Lift the QR and its pin to release the safety
catch.
Unfolding your trike is the same sequence in
reverse order. To unfold your trike:
1. Swing the rear section of the frame up and
to the left and then down to the unfolded
position.
2. Put the neoprene mat in a safe place for
next time you fold the trike.
3. Lift the QR (Quick Release) latch to retract
the safety pin, and close the hinge. Make
sure the safety pin is properly engaged.
4. Swing the QR and its connecting pin
forwards 90 degrees (into the slot on the
front part of the hinge).
5. Tighten the QR on the hinge. If the QR is
loose, the adjusting nut may need to be
tightened slightly.
6. Release the QR on each handlebar and
swing them forward until each is vertical.
Re-fasten each QR.
7. Put the seat in place and slide the clips on
the bottom seat rail over the frame cup in
which the seat sits.
8. Tighten the knobs under the front of the
seat.
9. Secure the seat angle adjustment onto the
QR and tighten the QR.
1. Make sure everything is secure before
riding your trike.

2.1 Tyre pressure
Typical tyre pressure for the standard tyres
is about 70psi (4.6 bar). Do not inflate the
tyres more than the maximum pressure
recommended on the tyre sidewalls. You
will need to experiment a bit to find the tyre
pressure that suits you best. Higher pressures
will allow the trike to roll more easily, but will
transmit more road shock to the rider. Lower
pressures will feel much more comfortable,
but there can be more rolling resistance.
Also try experimenting with tyres; there are
now large cruiser tyres available which can
provide a comfortable ride and reasonably
low rolling resistance, as well as small high-
pressure racing tyres that offer very low rolling
resistance and sport’s-car type handling.
2.2 Folding and unfolding
(Not Vortex)
Folding and unfolding your trike is very simple. After you have practiced it a few times, you will be
able to do it easily in under a minute.
To fold your trike:
Unscrew the knobs under the front of the seat
and slide the clips off the frame cup in which
the seat sits. The nuts should be left at the end
of the screws as seen here. They are there to
prevent the knob from being unwound too far
and falling out.
Release the QR (Quick Release) on the seat
post.
Remove the seat.
Undo the QR on the hinge.
Release the QR on each handlebar and
swing them backwards until each is horizontal.
Re-fasten each QR.
