OVERVIEW

ASSEMBLY

Step 1: Getting startedRemove the bike from the packaging. DO NOT dispose of the original packaging until assembly is complete. Check all packaging to ensure all necessary components are found before beginning assembly.Remove all padding and zip ties as you go.Step 2: Front forkPlace the front wheel between the fork in the front of the frame (Figure 2a), positioned between the front brake blocks. Ensure the wheel is aligned in  the center before tightening.Front-wheel must be in the center of the fork (Figure 2b), or the front brake will not operate smoothly.Note: Do not tighten components to 100% during assembly. Loosely tighten only to 50%-80% tightness, and retighten when the assembly is complete.

Step 3: HandlebarLoosen the 4 bolts on the head tube’s front cover (Figure 3a), and install the handlebar into the front of the head tube. It will lock into the middle with the brakes angled about 35° downward (Figure 3b).

Step 4: BrakesAdjust the brakes: they should be taut with the brake pulled approximately 1/3 of the way to the handlebar (Figure 4a).

Note: If the brake is not easy to adjust, adjust as per the steps below. Figures 4b and 4c are the two adjustment screws in the front of the rear disc brake bracket. Figures 4d and 4e are the adjustment screws behind of the rear disc brake. The distance between the disc brake block and the disc is adjusted by these 2 screws. The disc pad must be in the middle of the disc brake block. In the middle of the disc, the disc pad cannot be rubbed to the disc brakes on both sides. Do not ride the bike unless the brakes have been tested.

Step 5: Seat postInsert the seat post into the body tube (Figure 5a). The safety line should be within the tube. Make sure that the minimum insertion mark is completely covered (with the safety line within the tube) and that the seat is pointing forward in alignment with the bicycle. Secure with the clamp at the base of the post (Figure 5b).

Step 6: Attaching the pedalsInstall the pedal marked “L” on the left crank and tighten, then install the pedal marked “R” on the right crank and tighten. Note: Damage will occur if pedals are not correctly and firmly attached.

Step 7: Gear adjustmentThe right shifter controls the rear 7 levels (rear freewheel) (Figure 7a), while the left shifter controls the front 3 levels (crank gears) (Figure 7b). Control with both shifters to adjust the cycling gear.

Step 8: Front suspension adjustmentThe front suspension can be unlocked to provide greater shock absorption for mountain biking and other bumpy road conditions.

Step 9: Assembly completeGo through and retighten the fastenings to ensure everything is sturdy and safe before using.

2.  Release the clamp on the frame (Figures 11a, 11b).
3. Pull the clamp back and raise it slightly to fold the frame (Figure 12).
4. The bike can now be folded up (Figures 13a, 13b).

To unfold the bike:Reverse the folding steps, pulling the clamp back and pulling the front half of the frame back into place. Release the clamp, then lock it back into position to secure (Figure 14a).Ensure the pedals are unfolded before use (Figure 14b).
