1. Safety
Warning
• Never brake hard using thecoaster brake in slippery conditions,e.g. on gravel, ice, snow or wet
tarmac.
• For steep hills several braking methods should be combined, otherwise using thecoaster brake
may cause therear wheel to overheat.
• Always brake using therear brakes first before aempting to use thefront brakes. Thisespecially
applies if road surfaces are slippery.
• This bicycle is not designed to be used with bicycle child seats or similar.
• As with all mechanical components, thebicycle is subject to wear and high stressloads. Different
materials and components may react to wear or stress fatigue in differentways. Allcomponents
have acertain lifespan and if thelife of acomponent has been exceeded, it may suddenly fail
causing possible injury to theuser. Anyform of cracks, scratches or changes of colouring in
highly stressed areas indicate that thelife of thecomponent has been reached and it should
bereplaced.
• Max total weight 119 kg (bicycle + cyclist+ luggage).
• Max luggage carrierload: 15kg.
• Max cyclist weight: 90kg.
Important
• Thebicycle is designed to be ridden on normal roads and not for terrain or competitiveuse.
Anyform of use other than that described in this instruction manual can lead to aserious risk for
personal injury or damage to thebicycle itself.
• Tighten all nuts, bolts and screws but do not overtighten.
• Adjust thebicycle so that it fitsyou. Thereare quick releases for thehandlebars, stem and seat
post, which makes adjustments easy to fit different bodysizes.
• Always conduct asafety check beforeusing.
• Always use aproperly adjusted and fied helmet.
• Always keep both hands on thehandlebars.
• Wear clothing that makes you visible to your fellow roadusers.
• Thebicycle must be equipped with wheel reflectors, both front and back, and pedal reflectors.
Makesure that all reflectors are clean and visible.
• When cycling in thedark, make sure that you have properly functioning lights, both front andrear.
• Remember that rules and regulations for bicycles will differ from country to country. Thismay
include regulation regarding front, rear and side reflectors along with front and rear lights.
Familiarise yourself with therules and regulations that apply in your country.
• Always cycle in thesame direction as trafficflow. Nevercycle against traffic.
• Always follow thelocal traffic regulations.
• Show consideration in traffic. Donot cycle close to pedestrians, horse riders or thedisabled.
• Never wear loose fiing clothing or similar apparel that can be caught in thebicycle chain or wheels.

3.3 Before initialuse
Information
Refer to theseings and adjustments in the4. Seings section.
General
• Read theinstruction manual and familiarise yourself with thebicycle so you understand how it
works in all situations.
• Focus in particular on how to operate thebrakes and steering.
• Test ride thebicycle on aflat surface in anarea free of traffic to familiarise yourself with
thebicycle. Makesure you know how to safely mount and dismount thebicycle. Makesure that
you know how to brake, steer and changegears.
• Adjust theheight and angle of thesaddle and handlebars according to yourshape.
• Become familiar with how thebrakes operate and identify which brake handle operates thefront
rim brake and which operates therear rimbrake.
Important
• You operate thefront rim brake with thebrake mechanism on theleside.
• You operate therear rim brake with thebrake mechanism on therightside.
• This bicycle is also equipped with acoaster brake, which is activated when either of thepedals
are pushed in abackwards direction.
3.4 Checklist before every cyclingtrip
• Check that theframe (21), front fork (18) and any stressed areas show no signs of cracks, scratches,
marks, changes of colour or make no strange sounds.
• Check thebraking performance of thevarious braking methods in anarea where there is no
traffic or other obstacles.
• Check that thesaddle (29) is aligned with theframe (21).
• Check that thelock levers for folding theframe (22), handlebar assembly (13) and angle of
thehandlebars are securely locked and that their catcheshold.
5. Press thelatch on theframe lock
mechanism to theside and open up
thelever.
6. Fold thehinges on theframe so that
theends of theframe legs areapart.

• Check that thesaddle (29) cannot be twisted to theside or turned up/down. Adjust thesaddle
and tighten thesaddle clamp if necessary (30).
• Check that no brake wires (10) are caught.
• Check that thewheels (19 and 34) are on tight by liing thebicycle so that thewheel leaves
theground and slap theupper side of thewheel with yourhand. Ifthewheel is loose or is loose in
thefork dropouts, thewheel axle nuts must be tightened.
• Check thetyre pressure; see therecommended pressure on thewheel (20)page.
• Check that thewheels are straight,i.e. that therims do not wobble upwards and downwards or
from side to side by liing thebicycle off theground and spinning thewheel.
• Make sure that thereflectors (14) are clean and screwed on tightly.
• Check that any lighting is working (sold separately).

3. Push back theclip to lock thestem intoplace.
4. Check that thestem is fixed by trying to twist it alile while you keep
thefront wheel of thebicycle firmly between yourlegs.
a) If it is possible to twist thestem, loosen thequick connector again
and twist theknurled screw half aturn in aclockwise direction.
Pushtheclip back again to lock thestem intoplace.

4.2 Saddle
Adjusting height
Thesaddle height should be adjusted so that your foot, with your leg almost completely extended,
can be placed flat onto thepedal at theboom of thepedal stroke. Youshould also be able to touch
theground with your toes if needed.
1. Loosen thequick connector on theseat post (28) by folding out theclip (31).
2. Pull theseat post up or push it down to select theright height on thesaddle.
Warning
• Theseat post is graduated from 1–26 to indicate theseat height.
Neveradjust theseat post outside of these end markings as it
can become loose or touch theground.
• Make sure that themarkings IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII on theseat post
cannot be seen above theseattube.
3. Push back theclip to lock theseat post intoplace.
4. Check that theseat post is firmly aached to theseat tube by trying to twist thesaddle.
a) If it is possible to twist theseat post, loosen thequick connector again and twist theknurled
screw half aturn in aclockwise direction. Pushtheclip back again to lock theseat post intoplace.
b) If you can still twist theseat post, repeat step auntil it istight.
c) If thesaddle twists around theseat post, go to theAdjustinglength and angle section.
Adjusting length andangle
Thesaddle position and angle in horizontal plane can be adjusted on theseatpost. Finding acomfor-
table seat position depends on your personaltaste. Itmay require along bicycle ride for you to find
aposition that is most comfortable foryou.
1. Loosen thesaddle clamp nuts (30) and push thesaddle forwards
and backwards to get thedesired position in ahorizontalplane.
2. Press and pull thefront or rear edge of thesaddle to set
thedesiredangle.
3. Tighten thesaddle clamp nuts to lock thesaddle firmly in place
(to atorque of 10Nm).
Important
Remember to lock all quick-releases and tighten thesaddle clamp
nuts before you start tocycle.
