Folding Instruction Step 1 Prepare to fold your bicycle by standing on the side with the chain. The chain and crank will be in front of you. Step 2 Move the stem into the folding position. The stem should be extended far enough that the handlebars sit just under the wheel axles when the handle post is folded. Step 3 Rotate the stopper hook away from the handle post latch. Step 4 Unlock the handle post latch by pulling it away from the handle post. Step 5 Swing the handle post into the folded position: upside down and flush against the front wheel. Be sure the front wheel stays parallel to the frame. When folded properly, the handlebars should sit just below the wheel axle. Note: On some models the handle post folds to the outside. Step 6 Open the seat post quick-release. Lower the seat post. Twist the saddle 45 degrees to the left.Close the quick release. Step 7 Rotate the cranks so that the left crank is pointed forward and down at a 15 degree angle. Step 8 Move the frame latch safety hook to the open position. ( Note: Your frame latch safety hook may be in a slightly different position than shown in the picture above.) Step 9 Open the frame latch lever. Step 10 Swing the front and rear halves of the frame closely, and then swing the front half of the frame back until the two wheels are parallel. Incorrect Correct Incorrect: Saddle is incorrectly position and is butting up against the handle post. Correct:When you twist the saddle 45 degrees to the left, there should be some space between saddle and the Quick-release lever. Step11 Snap the folding pedal(s) into the folded position by pushing the pedal body inwards and rotating downwards. Step 12 Your bicycle is now ready for easy transportation or storage.
