SAFETY:
Quick Release
The first Quick Release mechanism was designed and patented in 1930 by the Italian designer Tullio
Campagnolo, and since then has become an industry standard fastening technique for the bicycle.
The ORi Folding Bike uses Quick Release mechanisms in two places during the folding and unfold -
ing of your bike.
It is extremely important for your own safety that you understand and can
operate the Quick Release mechanism correctly and safely.
Please refer to the folding and unfolding sequence section of this manual.
The Quick Release mechanism is essentially a simple over-centre cam device with two positions.
Open and Closed.
Open Position: (Figure 1)
In the open position, the Quick Release mechanism freely rotates and
nothing is clamped. The ‘OPEN’ mark is displayed on the Quick Release
Lever.
Closed Position: (Figure 2)
To close the Quick Release mechanism, the Quick Release Lever must
be rotated so the Quick Release Lever operates the cam and clamps the
Quick Release mechanism it is restraining.
The ‘CLOSED’ mark is displayed on the Quick Release Lever.
Tightening Quick Release mechanisms:
No Torque settings are specified for Quick Release mechanisms. However
you should adjust the Quick Release mechanism with the Quick Release
Nut, so as to feel resistance just before half way through the travel range
when in the process of tightening the Quick Release Lever by swinging
the Quick Release Lever around from the ‘Open’ position to the ‘Closed’
position.
We recommend a closing force on the Quick Release Lever, applied
hcihw,N031yletamixorppafo,reveLesaeleRkciuQehtotyllaitnegnat
if measured using a spring balance, a load of 13kg.
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTE: Do not attempt to use
the Quick Release Lever (see glossary 17a) as a ‘wing
nut’ style fastener. (Figure 3)
!WARNING
Failure to properly operate and install the Quick Release Components, may cause the
wheel and mudguard to become detached from the bicycle while you are riding result-
ing in a serious accident.
ALWAYS CHECK BEFORE RIDING. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, ASK YOUR
DEALER. IMPROPER USE CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS BODILY INJURY.

AREAS OF ADJUSTMENT:
SADDLE HEIGHT: (Figure 1)
Tools Required: None
Tightening Torque: See Quick Release Tightening in the
Safety Section
Adjustment of the saddle height is made by releasing the
Quick Release Lever at the mainframe, and sliding the sad-
dle up and down to the required height.
The correct method for determining your own personal sad-
dle height can vary from person to person, but as a rule of
thumb, measured from the pedal at the bottom of the crank
stroke (6 ‘o’clock) to the middle of the top of the saddle, a
distance equivalent to 90% of your own inside leg measur-
ment should be a reasonable starting point from which to
‘fine tune’ to your own preference.
Once the height has been set to the desired level, close the
Quick Release Lever. Make sure that after adjusting the
seat height, you ensure the saddle is secure and aligned
correctly to the centre line of the bike, as a misaligned sad-
dle will be uncomfortable to ride on. Note that the height
of the saddle can be recorded using the scale permanently
marked on the Seat Post.
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICES:
1. If you are unsure of how to operate a Quick Release, refer to the relevant sec-
tion on Quick Release operation in this manual.
2. Never have less than the minimum amount of Seat Post inserted into the
Mainframe. (The minimum insert mark is marked on the Seat Post, and is ap-
proximately 100mm from the bottom of the Seat Post)
SADDLE FRONT AND BACK ADJUSTMENT:
Tools Required: 6mm Allen Key
Tightening Torque: M7 socket head cap screw: 18 Nm
The saddle can be adjusted to move it closer or further away from the handlebars. The saddle rail
slots are to fit standard 7mm rails. To adjust this position, you need to loosen the M7 socket head
cap screw with the 6mm Allen key (there is no need to completely disassemble the clamp) and slide
the saddle forward or back to the desired position.
dna,ylbatrofmocgnidirrofelgnatcerrocehttasielddasehttahtkcehC
re-tighten the M7 socket head cap screw to the specified torque setting using
the 6mm Allen Key. Recheck the tightness of the M7 socket head cap screw with
a torque wrench after approximately 80kms of riding.
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTE: Please make sure that the seat
post clamp sits on the parallel section of the seat rails.
(Figure 2)

HANDLEBAR HEIGHT:
Tools Required: 5mm Allen Key
Tightening Torque:
M6 Fastener: 7.0 - 8.5Nm
The height of the handlebars can easily
be adjusted. Undo the M6 Socket head
cap screw with the 5mm Allen key (Fig-
ure 1 & 2) until the handlebar stem can
easily be raised or lowered to the desired
height. Make sure that the handlebars
are straight and correctly aligned to the
front wheel before tightening the clamp
to the specified torque setting. (Figure 3)
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTE: Never have less than the minimum amount of
handlebar stem inserted into the Upper Hinge. (The minimum insert mark is
marked on the handlebar stem, and is approximately 65mm from
the bottom of the handlebar stem).
HANDLEBAR ROTATION (and effects on folding efficiency):
Tools Required: 5mm Allen Key
Tightening Torque: M6 Fastener: 12 - 14Nm
The handlebars can be rotated to provide more adjustment for the rider. It is
worth noting however, that in the extreme ranges of adjustment the folding size
will increase as the handlebars will not fold inward as closely, and thus will pro-
trude further from the bike. To adjust the position of the handlebars undo the
two M6 socket head cap screws with the 5mm Allen key. (Figure 4) The handle-
bars can now be rotated ‘forward’ and ‘back’ relative to the seated position.
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTE: Never try and turn the handlebars with the clamp
partially undone.
Turning the handlebars in this manner increases the risk of scoring the handlebars, which signifi-
cantly reduces the fatigue life of the handlebar which could result in failure of the component and
serious injury to the rider.
The handlebars have been designed with a 6 degree sweep, to further enable different hand posi-
tions to be obtained. Once you are happy with the position of the handlebar, tighten the 2 M5 socket
head cap screws to the specified tightening torque.
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTE: Please do NOT fit bar-ends to the existing han-
dlebars. The reason for this is as follows:
a) To conform with the EN14764 safety standard, the whole steering column
assembly would have to be additionally fatigue tested for the specific case of
bar-ends being installed. The previous Velotech DIN + test did not include bar
ends.
b) The bar ends interfere with the bike fold, making the folded width somewhat
greater and potentially damaging the left side fork leg, which is safety critical
ORi Manual revised.indd 10 28/3/08 09:41:21

PAGE 11
BRAKE LEVER POSITION (Figure 1a) (and effects on folding efficiency):
Tools Required: 5mm Allen Key
Tightening Torque: M6 Fastener: 6 - 8Nm
The brake lever position can be rotated on the handlebars. To adjust the posi-
tion of a brake lever, undo the M6 socket head cap screw with the 5mm Allen
key, until the brake lever can be freely moved. It is worth noting that in extreme
ranges of adjustment the folding size will increase as the brake levers will not fold
inward as closely, and cause them to protrude further from the bike.
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTE: Do not partially undo the socket
head cap screw and then try and force the brake lever to turn.
Scoring the handlebars can reduce the fatigue life of the handlebar.
BRAKE LEVER ‘REACH’ (Figure 2a)
Tools Required: 3mm Allen Key
No Torque setting, adjustment only.
Adjustments can be made to the distance the lever is positioned from the han-
dlebar, this is known as the ‘reach’ of the lever. Using the 2mm Allen key, simply
screw in the M3 grub screw situated on the clamp body of the Brake lever. Turn-
ing clock-mwise will reduce the distance from the lever to the handlebar, and
turning anti-clockwise will increase the distance from the lever to the handlebar.
Notes:
From new, the lever will be positioned at maximum adjustment, i.e. farthest away from the handle-
bars. Changes made to the brake lever reach may require the cable to be adjusted via the barrel
adjusters at either the brake lever or the brake calliper, to restore an appropriate clearance of the
brake blocks from the rim. Refer to page 24 for adjustment instructions.
TYRE PRESSURES:
Make sure that the tyres are inflated to the correct and recommended inflation pressure. (See Side-
wall of Tyre) With small 16” wheels, under-inflated tyres lead to drastically reduced efficiency for the
rider, wasted energy, greater rate of wear and increase risk of sustaining punctures from impact with
potholes. Keep Tyre pressures near to the upper range of the recommended settings.
RECOMMENDED SPARES FOR YOUR ORi:
When riding the ORi we recommend the rider carry the following spares, as a minimum require -
ment.
1 spare inner tubes: Size 16” (349) x 1 3/8” Pump
A Set (usually 3 levers) of tyre Levers
A selection of Allen Keys, most important sizes are 2.5, 4, 5 and 6mm
A 17mm A/F spanner to remove C8 rear wheel nuts.
A small flat bladed screwdriver to assist in disconnecting the C8 rear gear cable from the hub.
An 8mm socket tool.
These instructions are intended as a simple set-up guide for the rider. We strongly
recommend the areas not covered by these instructions are only adjusted and serviced
by your ORi dealer.

PAGE 12
FOLDING AND UNFOLDING YOUR ORi:
The folding structures of the ORi incorporate clamping mechanisms and it is essential you fully
understand their operation and function. Failure to operate these clamping mechanisms in the cor-
rect manner could result in an unsafe and dangerous bike to ride. Make sure that your ORi dealer
fully familiarise you with the folding clamping mechanisms on your ORi.
SELF-LOCKING CATCHES:
The Self-Locking catches on the ORi folding bike are a new innovation in the Folding Bike market.
They have been developed and tested to enable ease of use and provide the quickest folding and
unfolding possible. The Catches are spring loaded to constantly act to close the joint and have been
engineered to allow for adjustment over time to combat normal and expected wear and tear.
It is important that both front and rear Self-Locking catches are fully pressed closed and that the
optional front secondary safety clip if fitted is engaged before you ride the bike.
BRAKES:
Using the braking system of the bike in an improper manner, could lead to loss of control or cause
an accident, leading to severe injury. We recommend that you take time to gain experience of how
to apply the correct brake lever pressure to stop the bike safely, together with reading and applying
ecnamrofrepgnikarbtahtetonesaelP.gnidirruoyotedoCyawhgiHehtfosegassaptnavelerlla
is reduced in the wet. A larger stopping distance is required in wet or icy conditions. It is very impor-
tant to prevent all lubricants from coming into contact with the brake pads and wheel rims.
If lubricant does contact the brake pads, you should replace the contaminated
pads, because the brakes may not work correctly causing an accident and seri-
ous injury could result.
As outlined in the pre-ride check section, check that both front and rear brakes are functioning sat-
isfactorily before riding the bike. The ORi comes set up with the brakes working as follows. As you
sit on the Bike, the Right Hand brake lever operates the front brake, and the Left Hand brake lever
operates the rear brake.
Please note, that parts are not guaranteed against natural wear or deterioration
resulting from normal use.
SEAT POST:
The folding nature of the ORi means that for a single folding and unfolding cycle, the seat post
will be pushed down and then pulled up. Check your seat post regularly for wear and scratches.
Scratches running across the post (not up and down) can cause areas of stress concentration, which
could lead to seat post failure. Please refer to the maintenance section for more information.
FASTENERS:
Using a torque wrench periodically, or whenever conducting routine maintenance, check that the
tightness of all important screws are to the recommended settings. If you are unsure, get your ORi
dealer to inspect and check all important fasteners.

FINGER TRAPS:
Whilst folding or unfolding the bicycle, avoid trapping fingers in between components that are clos-
ing together.
Fold up the Handlebars until the Self-Locking Catch closes. (Figure 1)
Press firmly to make sure the Front Self-Locking Catch is securely closed.
(Figure 2)
Open the Seat Clamp Quick Release Lever and raise the Saddle to the desired
mark on the Seat Post for riding. Close the Seat Clamp Quick Release Lever.
(Figure 3)
Holding the Lower Stem with your left hand, and the Front Wheel Quick Release
Lever with your right, pull the wheel towards you, releasing it from the spring
clip. (Figure 4)
Holding the Lower Stem with your left hand, and keeping the lock-stop against
its stop, lift the lower stem upwards and carefully rotate the Front Wheel/Mud-
guard into the Front Forks. Do this slowly so that you see the Quick Release As-
sembly move out and back in, thereby locating and locking the wheel correctly
into the dropouts. (Figure 5)
WARNING: If you do not see the Quick Release Assembly move back in to the
locked position, the front wheel may not be correctly located in the fork drop-
outs.

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE: Make sure you close the
Seat Post Quick Release Lever after the Saddle has been
lowered if you intend to lift and carry the bike by the saddle
nose.
TIPS FOR CARRYING YOUR ORi: We recommend for ease of use.
Unfolded: The easiest way to carry the ORi is to hold the bike with one hand placed under the
Mainframe and the other holding the handlebars, either at the handlebar grip, or on the steering
column.
Folded: There are two preferred ways of carrying the ORi when folded.
1. When lowering the saddle, twist the nose of the saddle slightly away from your body, and lift using
the nose of the saddle. This should let the bike hang naturally away from your body.
2. Place your hand underneath the mainframe, in line with the nose of the saddle.
For M9 ‘derailleur’ bikes shift the chain into the middle of the sprockets before starting the folding
procedure.
