Before using your bicycle for the first time, please take some time to practice proper folding
and unfolding procedures. Proper operation of your bicycle is important for your safety and
enjoyment. With just a bit of practice, you should be able to fold your bicycle in 25 seconds or
less. Be sure to follow the sequence of steps carefully.

• Before you ride your bike for the first time, make sure it has been checked and adjusted by
a bicycle technician. This will validate your warranty and ensure that your bicycle is optimally
adjusted for performance and safety.
• Before each ride, check to make sure the frame latch, frame latch safety hook, and stem
are properly secured. Also check your brake system and tire pressure.
• If your bicycle is damaged and the frame latch or stem does not secure properly, do not
ride your bicycle. Have it serviced immediately by an authorized technician.
• Rider’s weight should not exceed 105 kg or 230 lbs.
• Before your first ride, be sure you know all local traffic regulations.

Unfolding Instructions
STEP 1: Prepare to unfold your bicycle by
standing on the side with the chain.
STEP 2: Unfold the frame by swinging the
front and rear halves of the frame apart.
STEP 3: Lock the frame latch lever by
pushing it in towards the frame. It should
require 6 kg. (14.5 lbs.) of force to close.
STEP 4: Move the frame latch safety hook
into the closed position.
4
STEP 5: Align the stem with the front
wheel and tighten the star nut bolt. The bolt
should be just tight enough to eliminate play
in the headset but not so tight that steering
is inhibited.
STEP 6: Tighten the stem bolts by
alternating half turns on the top and bottom
bolts.
STEP 7: Remove the screws from the stem
face plate. Remove the stem face plate.
STEP 8: Place the handlebar in the stem
and screw in the stem face plate. Proceed to
STEP 9 on page 6.
Note: The brake levers should be angled
slightly downwards.
If you have an XA model, follow these steps:

STEP 5: Flip the QuickFold stem into the
riding position.
STEP 6: Lock the stem into position by
screwing the QuikFold lever in a clockwise
direction.
STEP 7: Hide the QuikFold lever inside
the top cap. When properly tightened, there
should not be any play in the stem assembly.
Proceed to STEP 9 on page 6.
If you have an XT model, follow these steps:
6
STEP 9: Open the seat post quick release
lever and raise the saddle to the desired
height. Close the seat post quick release
lever. Be sure not to raise the seat post
beyond the safety line marked on the seat
post.
STEP 10: Attach the pedals and tighten
with a 15mm wrench. The right pedal should
be screwed in clockwise. The left pedal
should be screwed in counter-clockwise. Add
a drop of lubricant to the pedal axle threads
to ensure easy removal.
STEP 11: You are now ready to ride! Have
fun and ride safely!

To fold your bicycle, simply reverse the steps
described on pages 3-6.
TIP: For a faster fold on an XA model, there
is no need to remove the handlebar - simply
loosen the stem and star nut bolts and twist
the stem and handlebar 90 degrees to the
right. Fold the frame as usual.
If you have folding pedals, you can fold
them by pushing the pedal body inwards and
flipping the pedal body downwards.

Adjusting the Frame Latch
Your bicycle should arrive with the frame latch properly adjusted. However, the frame latch will
need periodic adjustment to keep it functioning optimally. When properly adjusted, the frame
latch will open and close with 5-6 kg. (11-13.2 lbs.) of force and the two halves of the frame
hinge will lie flush against each other.
WARNING: If you are at all unsure about how to do these adjustments yourself, bring your bike
to your dealer for a professional adjustment.
STEP 1: Determine whether the latch
mechanism needs to be adjusted by
opening and closing the latch a few times.
If the latch requires less than 5-6 kg.
(11-13.2 lbs.) of force to open and close, it
needs to be tightened. If the latch requires
more than 5-6 kg. (11-13.2 lbs.) of force to
open and close, it needs to be loosened.
STEP 2: To tighten the latch, turn
the frame latch bolt counter-clockwise,
threading it out of the nut. To loosen
the latch, turn the latch bolt clockwise,
threading into the nut. Adjust in 1/16
turn increments until the latch is properly
adjusted.
STEP 3: Add a drop of Loc-Tite glue to the
bolt threads to prevent loosening.
STEP 4: Periodically lubricate the lever to
keep it working smoothly.
Warning: Proper adjustment of the frame
latch is critical for safety. If adjusted too
tightly or too loosely, injury to the rider
or permanent damage to the hinges may
result. Please check the frame latch before
every ride.
