3.1| UNPACKING AND PREP (SEE VIDEO)
To assemble your StreetStrider 3i or 7i, first view the assembly videos parts 1-7 on the StreetStrider website support page, then follow the
steps and photos in this chapter. Included in the shipping box are the StreetStrider in parts, and a small bundle in the top tray inside the
box containing the StreetStrider Owner’s Manual, tool kit, bags of assembly parts, 2 spare inner tubes, and 3 wheels reflectors. The tool kit
contains a 19 mm socket, 17 x 14, 15 x 13, 14 x 12, and 13 x 10 mm open end wrenches, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 8 mm hex wrenches, and 2 tire
levers. Parts include: a front beam bearing assembly, 8 mm crank arm screws, a shifter push rod for the 3i, and a cassette pulley for the 7i.
FIGURE 3.1.1 The StreetStrider box has graphics to
show which side is up.
FIGURE 3.1.2 The top tray in the box holds the parts
bundle and the support layers underneath protect the
StreetStrider.
FIGURE 3.1.3 The front wheel assembly and rear
wheel are the next 2 layers. Remove the wheels and
set aside.
FIGURE 3.1.4 The main frame assembly is on the
bottom layer.
FIGURE 3.1.5 Using the corner cut-outs to grip the
bottom cardboard panel, lift that panel and the folded
StreetStrider out of the box, set the unit on top of the
box or table, and remove the remaining zip ties.
FIGURE 3.1.6 Set the foot platform assemblies
(lower pole, ski, foot platform, crank arm) aside, then
lift the frame with upper poles attached by cables off
of the lower panel and set upright on the table.
FIGURE 3.1.7 Remove the packing material from the
chain that’s wrapped around the right fender stay and
remove the plastic dropout brace.
FIGURE 3.1.8 Move the loop of chain down the fender stay, around the dropout, and forward along the chain
stay so the loop of chain can wrap around the bottom bracket shell.
IMPORTANT: Save the box and packing material as they must be used to repack the StreetStrider for any returns.
TERMINOLOGY: The right and left sides of the StreetStrider refer to sides when one is striding.
3.2| WHEELS (SEE VIDEO)

FIGURE 3.2.10 Route the front brake cables from
the cable doubler on either side of the head tube,
under the steering linkage and over the front beam.
If the cable housing is off of the cables, slide it back
on. Insert the left and right cable and housing into
the barrel adjuster on the left and right brakes,
respectively.
FIGURE 3.2.11 Retrieve the 3-speed rear wheel, remove the black plastic cover pressed over the
silver acorn nut on the left axle end, then lift the rear fender, slide the wheel between the dropouts
and rest the fender on the tire. On the right side, loop chain over sprocket and unscrew hex nut so
there is an exposed section of axle that can slide into the dropout. On the left side, align the brake
rotor with the brake caliper gap and unscrew acorn nut so there is an exposed section of axle that
can slide into the dropout. Slide axle into dropouts all the way forward, align the tongue of the
yellow non-turn washer on the left axle end with dropout slot, and nger tighten the axle nuts on
both ends. When nished, rear wheel axle is in dropouts and fully forward, axle nuts are nger
tight, and chain is looped over sprocket at the rear and over bottom bracket shell at the front.
IMPORTANT: Inflate tires to 80-85 psi.
FIGURE 3.2.12 Retrieve the 7-speed
rear wheel, remove the black plastic
covers pressed over the silver acorn nuts
on the axle ends. Remove the silver
acorn nut and yellow non-turn washer
from the right axle end.
FIGURE 3.2.13 Retrieve the shifting
cassette pulley and the lock ring from
the parts bag.
FIGURE 3.2.14 Locate the 2 yellow
dots on the silver washer.
FIGURE 3.2.15 Place the shifting
cassette pulley over the axle so that
the yellow dots on the washer and the
cassette pulley are in line.
FIGURE 3.2.16 Put the lock ring over the axle so that
the 2 yellow dots are adjacent.

FIGURE 3.3.4 Retrieve the right foot platform
assembly (lower pole, ski, foot platform, and crank
arm with chain ring) and position next to right side of
the frame.
FIGURE 3.3.5 Lift the right crank arm so it is in the
6 o’clock position and insert it onto the bottom bracket
square spindle.
FIGURE 3.3.6 Retrieve an 8 mm crank screw, screw
it into the spindle to secure the crank arm, and tighten
with the 8 mm hex wrench.
IMPORTANT: Make sure there is a little grease on the spindle so the crank arm slides on firmly.
IMPORTANT: We recommend adding a little grease to the threads of the 4 cap screws.
FIGURE 3.3.7 Lift the lower pole, insert it into the
clamp base, and install the clamp cap with the 4 caps
screws using the 4 mm hex wrench.
FIGURE 3.3.8 Make sure there is an equal gap
between cap and base in the front and rear of the
clamp, but do not tighten the screws yet.
FIGURE 3.3.9 The function of the 4 set screws on
each end of the crossbar is to secure the roller bearings
inside the crossbar. The single pan head screw locks
the entire assembly in the crossbar.
IMPORTANT: A good starting pole height will position the
user’s arm to have a 90° elbow bend, with forearm parallel to
the ground when standing on the platforms and holding the
grips of both poles in vertical position.
IMPORTANT: Make sure
there is a little grease on the
pole end so it slides in easily.
FIGURE 3.3.10 Rotate the right crank
arm to the 12 o’clock position and insert
the left crank arm, in the 6 o’clock
position, onto the bottom bracket
spindle. As done on the right side,
insert the other 8 mm crank screw and
tighten to secure the left crank arm.
Attach the left lower pole in the Joint #1
clamp as done on the right side.
FIGURE 3.3.11 Insert the upper poles
into the lower poles. The right upper
pole has the twist grip shifter and
brake lever.
FIGURE 3.3.12 The pole height lines
are used to set the approximate pole
height for the height of the user, from
< 5’ to approximately 7’.
FIGURE 3.3.13 Rotate the poles so the
grips are approximately shoulder width
of the user.
Pole Height User Height (cm)
15’ 0” (152)
25’ 6” (168)
3 6’ 0” (183)
46’ 6” (198)
STOP 7’ 0” (213)
FIGURE 3.3.14 With the 4 mm hex wrench, carefully tighten the Joint #1 clamp in an X pattern so
that all the screws are tightened evenly and the space between the clamp base and cap on the front
side of the pole is equal to the space on the rear side. Finally, position the brake levers forward, in
front of the grips, and tighten the brake clamp with a 5 mm hex wrench. Then rotate the shifter so the
gear window faces the user, and tighten the shifter clamp with a 3 mm hex wrench. Secure the shifter
and brake cables to the poles with zip ties. See gure 3.3.13.
3.4| REAR HUB, CHAIN AND SHIFTER (SEE VIDEO)
FIGURE 3.4.1 Lift the chain off the bottom bracket
and wrap around the right crank arm chain ring.
FIGURE 3.4.2 Pull the rear wheel backward to make
the chain taught, center the front of the wheel in the
frame chain stays, then tighten the axle nuts using
the 15 mm wrench. A taught chain should only move
about ½” if lifted at a point midway between the
chain ring and hub sprocket.
FIGURE 3.4.3 For the 3i, retrieve the 3-speed shifter
push rod from the parts bag and insert it into the hole
on the right end of the axle.
IMPORTANT: Make sure the shifter push rod has a light coating of grease.
FIGURE 3.4.4 Attach the bell crank to the right axle
by tting it over the push rod and right axle nut as
close to the drop out as possible, with the shifter cable
routed along the lower edge of the frame chain stay,
then securing it by tightening the 2.5 mm set screw
with the 2.5 mm hex wrench.
FIGURE 3.4.5 Set the twist grip shifter to gear 2. FIGURE 3.4.6 On the bell crank, make sure the
interior thicker yellow line under the gear alignment
window is between the two thinner yellow lines on
the window. If needed, use the shifter cable barrel
adjuster at the front of the bell crank to move the
interior line to the correct gear 2 position.
IMPORTANT: Do not over tighten the 2.5 mm set screw.

1514
FIGURE 3.4.7 For the 7i, set the 7-speed shifter to
gear 1.
FIGURE 3.4.8 Insert the 2 mm hex wrench (or short
spoke) into the hole of the cassette pulley tab located
at the 9 o’clock position.
FIGURE 3.4.9 Rotate the wrench to the 6 o’clock
position so the cable xing screw can be inserted into
the oblong slot on the cassette pulley, now in the 9
o’clock position, with the nut facing outward.
FIGURE 3.4.10 While holding the wrench at the
6 o’clock position, insert the black plastic ferrule
on the end of the cable housing into the socket at
the end of the cassette pulley arm, then return the
wrench to the 9 o’clock position making sure the
cable lies in the groove under the cassette pulley.
FIGURE 3.4.13 If the lines are offset, turn the
barrel adjuster located where the shifter cable
enters the grip shifter until the 2 yellow lines align.
If turning the barrel adjuster is not sufcient to
align the 2 yellow lines in gear 4, shift to gear 1
and separate the shifter cable from the cassette
pulley so the cable length can be adjusted.
FIGURE 3.4.11 Set the 7-speed grip shifter to gear 4.
FIGURE 3.4.14 Pull the free cable taught and make sure its length from the ferrule at the end of the housing
to the center of the xing screw is 101 mm or 4” long. If not, loosen the xing screw/nut with the 10 mm wrench
and a pair of pliers, reposition it to the 101 mm length, tighten the xing screw/nut, and reinstall the cable onto
the cassette pulley.
FIGURE 3.4.12 Check the gear alignment window on
the hub cassette pulley to make sure the 2 yellow lines
are aligned.
3.5| BRAKES (SEE VIDEO)
FIGURE 3.5.1 To correctly position the brake pads,
the brake pads must rst be pressed tight against the
disc brake rotor. To do that, rst check to make sure
the disc brake rotor is in the center of the caliper gap.
FIGURE 3.5.2 If the rotor is in the center of the gap,
proceed by skipping to the next step. If the rotor is not
in the center of the caliper gap, loosen the 2 caliper
positioning screws with a 5 mm hex wrench.
FIGURE 3.5.3 To press the brake pads tight against
the rotor, insert the 3 mm hex wrench through the
center screw on the caliper lever.
FIGURE 3.5.4 Insert the 5 mm hex wrench into the
outer pad back.
FIGURE 3.5.5 Now screw in both pad adjusters
until the pads are tight against the rotor in the center
of the gap. If the caliper positioning screws had
to be loosened, tighten them now. Using the same
procedure, tighten the pads against the rotor in the
center of the caliper gap on the other front brake.
FIGURE 3.5.6 With the brake cable routed through
the barrel adjuster on each front brake, pull the cables
down rmly.
FIGURE 3.5.8 Loosen the clamping screw using the 4
mm hex wrench and thread the cable between the nut
and the caliper lever, then pull the cable taught and
tighten the clamping screw. Repeat on the other brake.
FIGURE 3.5.7 While pulling the cable down, make sure there is no slack or loose cable visible at the brake
lever and on either end of the cable doubler so that the cable housing is fully inserted at all locations. If loose,
screw in the barrel adjuster at the brake lever.

1716
FIGURE 3.5.9 Using the 3 mm and 5 mm hex
wrenches, unscrew the inner and outer pads to leave
a small sliver of light between the rotor and the pads
so when the wheel rotates, the rotor does not rub
the pads. Repeat on the other brake. To make sure
both front brakes stop equally, stand in front of the
StreetStrider, squeeze the left brake lever and pull the
StreetStrider forward while slowly easing the brake
pressure. If one wheel starts rotating before the other,
which begins to turn the StreetStrider, adjust the brake
pads and/or the barrel adjuster at the caliper until
that wheel begins to rotate with the other wheel.
FIGURE 3.5.10 The rear brake caliper is adjusted
exactly as described for a front brake caliper.
FIGURE 3.5.11 Finally, both brake levers have
a parking brake pin to hold the brake lever in a
squeezed position. If the parking brake does not hold,
unscrew the brake lever barrel adjuster.
IMPORTANT: Properly adjusted brakes will clamp the wheels when the
brake lever is squeezed to within about 1 inch (25 mm) of the rubber grip.
3.6| FRONT WHEEL ALIGNMENT (SEE VIDEO)
FIGURE 3.6.1 The front wheels should be aligned/
parallel so they do not point in (toe in) or point
out (toe out). This alignment is important for
performance, so take the time to do it correctly.
First, insure that the tires are inated up to 80-85
psi and that the StreetStrider is not leaning, with the
head tube vertical from the front view. Measure the
distance from the center rib of one tire to the center
rib of the other tire on both the front or leading edge
and the rear or trailing edge. The distances should
be near 26 inches and should be equal to each other
within 1/8” or 3 mm.
FIGURE 3.6.2 If the measurements are not equal to
each other, use the 14 mm open end wrench to loosen
the jam nuts that are tightened against the base of
each rod end. On each steering linkage, one rod end
has right hand threads and the other has left hand
threads, so make sure to turn the jam nuts in the
correct direction to loosen and then to tighten.
FIGURE 3.6.3 To make sure the wheels are parallel,
rotate the linkage rod one way or the other- note how
the tire angle changes - until the distance between the
tire center ribs in the front is equal to that in the rear.
Make sure that any adjustment to the right linkage
rod is duplicated on the left linkage rod, maintaining
symmetry.
IMPORTANT: Do not over tighten and strip the thin jam nut.
FIGURE 3.6.5 As an option, resistance to leaning
can be increased by tightening the King Pin bolt
with the 8 mm hex and 17 mm open end wrenches.
To optionally change the lean angle degree, adjust
the position of the lean stop disc on the steering
knuckle with the 5 mm hex and 10 mm open end
wrenches.
FIGURE 3.7.2 Under the left foot platform,
locate and press the brass button that releases the
telescopic inner tube of the left ski.
FIGURE 3.7.4 Open the head tube quick release
joint lever, rotate the stem forward, move the
T-pin to the right, then fold down the head tube.
Reverse the folding steps sequence to unfold your
StreetStrider for use.
FIGURE 3.6.4 When the wheels are parallel to within 1/8” or 3 mm, tighten the jam nuts against the rod ends.
To tighten the jam nuts, rst rotate both rod ends as far as possible in the direction that the jam nuts will tighten,
then use the 14 mm open wrench to tighten the jam nut against the rod end. Check to make sure that each
steering linkage rod is free to rotate as the StreetStrider is leaned to each side.
FIGURE 3.7.1 Stabilize the StreetStrider by engaging the right parking brake pin to lock the rear brake. From
the left side of the StreetStrider, rotate the left crank arm to the 3 o’clock position and open the quick release
clamp on the left ski just in front of the foot platform.
FIGURE 3.7.3 Extend the inner tube forward until the release button snaps into the hole in the outer tube just
behind the quick release clamp, and close the clamp on the left ski to stabilize the extended ski.

4| 7 SIMPLE STEPS TO LEARN TO STRIDE 5| SAFETY EQUIPMENT
Safety first. Before you stride, wear a CPSC (Consumer
Product Safety Commission) approved helmet. Children
under 18 years old must wear helmets in some states. At
night, make sure to wear light colored and/or reflective
clothing and equip your StreetStrider with front and rear
lights. Before starting any exercise program, check with your
doctor to make sure you are physically healthy enough.
Become familiar with the brakes and grip shifter.
Straddle your StreetStrider with both feet on the ground
and practice squeezing the front brake lever at the left grip
and the rear brake lever at the right grip. At the right grip,
rotate the grip shifter clockwise to shift to a lower gear
and counter clockwise to shift to a higher gear. To start
striding on a flat place, rotate the shifter to a middle gear.
Find the best gear. As you increase speed, shift to a higher
gear in order to get the smoothest arm and leg motion.
When climbing a hill, shift to a lower gear. Try dierent
gears to achieve the optimum speed and cadence for your
striding style and exercise goals.
Have fun! Now get out there and enjoy your
StreetStrider! You’ll have a blast and burn calories too!
Find a safe, flat place. An ideal location to practice
striding is a large flat area such as a parking lot with
little to no trac.
Step on and start rolling. While straddling the
StreetStrider and with both hands on the grips, step
onto the lowest foot platform, placing your foot near the
middle of the platform. With the other foot, give yourself
a push forward to start rolling, then place that foot onto
its platform. Use your legs to move the platforms in the
forward elliptical path and focus on using your arms to
move the poles back and forth.
Lean to steer. To make a turn, simply lean or shift your
body weight a little bit in the direction of the turn and the
StreetStrider will begin to turn. The more you lean, the
more the StreetStrider turns. You can pedal while turning.
Practice right and left turns, shifting gears, and braking to
a stop while standing on the StreetStrider.

WARNING: Many states require specific safety devices. It is your responsibility to familiarize yourself with the laws of the states where you
stride and to comply with all applicable laws, including properly equipping yourself and your StreetStrider as the law requires.
Helmets. While not all states require bicyclists to wear approved protective headgear, common sense dictates that you should wear a
CPSC-approved or other helmet whether the law requires it or not. Most serious vehicular injuries involve head injuries that might have
been avoided if the rider had worn a helmet. To do a proper job, your helmet must fit correctly, be worn correctly and be properly secured.
WARNING: Always wear a helmet when riding your StreetStrider. Always keep the chinstrap securely buckled. Failure to wear an approved
helmet may result in serious injury or death.
Reflectors. Reflectors, an integral part of your StreetStrider, are important safety devices designed to reflect street lights and car lights in a
way that helps you be seen and recognized as a moving rider. Federal regulations require every StreetStrider to be equipped with front and
rear wheel and foot platform reflectors. The size, performance and location of each reflector are specified by the U.S. Consumer Products
Safety Commission. CAUTION: Check reflectors and their mounting brackets regularly to make sure they are clean, straight, unbroken
and securely mounted. Replace damaged reflectors and straighten or tighten any that are bent or loose.
WARNING: Do not remove the reflectors or reflector mounting brackets from your StreetStrider as they are an integral part of the safety
system. Removing the reflectors may reduce your visibility to others on the roadway. Being struck by other vehicles often results in serious
injury or death.
Lights. If you ride your StreetStrider after dusk, it must be equipped with lights so that you can see the road and avoid road hazards, and so
that others can see you. Vehicle laws treat StreetStriders like any other vehicles, meaning you must have operational white front and red
rear lights if you are riding after dusk. Front and rear lights may not be standard equipment on your StreetStrider. You can purchase lights
and get recommendations from the StreetStrider online store or your local bicycle shop.
WARNING: Reflectors are not a substitute for proper lights. It is your responsibility to equip your StreetStrider with all state and locally
mandated lights. Riding at dawn, dusk, night or any other time of poor visibility without a lighting system that meets your local and state
laws or without reflectors is dangerous and may result in serious injury or death. If you intend to ride at any time under poor visibility
conditions, you must have front and rear lights and reflectors that are adequate for those riding conditions. CAUTION: Lights and
reflectors may not be adequate to insure that motorists will see you under all conditions.
Eye Protection. It’s always a good idea to wear protective eyewear—tinted when the sun is bright, clear when it’s not – as any kind
of outdoor riding can involve airborne dirt, dust, bugs and other objects. Most bicycle shops carry protective eyewear, some with
interchangeable lens systems. CAUTION: To avoid injury, always wear suitable protective clothing, including footware.
Wet Weather Striding. In wet conditions, the stopping power of all brakes - yours as well as the brakes of other vehicles sharing the road - is
dramatically reduced and your tires don’t grip a wet surface nearly as well. This makes it harder to control speed and easier to lose control. To
make sure you can slow down and stop safely in wet conditions, ride more slowly and apply your brakes earlier and more gradually than you
would under normal, dry conditions.
WARNING: Wet weather impairs traction, braking and visibility, both for the StreetStrider and for other vehicles sharing the road. The
risk of accident is dramatically increased in wet conditions.
Night Striding. Even if you have excellent night vision, many other people with whom you are sharing the road may not. A StreetStrider,
like any object, is more dicult for motorists and pedestrians to see at dusk, night, or any other time of poor visibility. Make sure you
comply with all local laws about night riding, and take the following additional precautions:
Make sure your StreetStrider is equipped with correctly positioned and securely mounted reflectors.
Purchase and install adequate battery or generator powered front and rear lights.
Wear light colored, reflective clothing and accessories, such as a reflective vest, reflective arm and leg bands,
reflective stripes on your helmet and flashing lights.
Any moving or flashing reflective device or light source will help get the attention of approaching motorists,
pedestrians and other trac.
Make sure your clothing or anything you may be carrying on the StreetStrider does not obstruct a reflector or light
Stride slowly and avoid areas of heavy trac, dark areas, and roads with speed limit over 35 mph. Avoid road hazards.
If possible, ride on routes already familiar to you.

6| MECHANICAL SAFETY CHECK AND MAINTENANCE 7| LIMITED WARRANTY
Your StreetStrider will perform properly and last longer if it is maintained in a clean, adjusted, and lubricated condition. Here is a list of
simple mechanical safety checks that you should get in the habit of making every time you’re about to get on a StreetStrider. For more
details, watch the StreetStrider Workshop videos on the Support page of our website www.streetstrider.com.
Nuts and Bolts. Lift the rear wheel o the ground by 2-3 inches, then let it bounce on the ground. If anything sounds, feels or looks loose,
do a quick visual and tactile inspection of the whole StreetStrider. If any loose parts or accessories are found, secure them. If you’re not
sure, ask someone with experience to check.
Tires and Wheels. Make sure your tires are inflated to 80-85 psi for stock tires, or adjust inflation according to your non-stock tire
specifications. To check if your tires are in good shape, spin each wheel slowly and look for cuts in the tread and sidewall. Replace damaged
tires if necessary. To check if your wheels are true, spin each wheel. If a wheel is out of true by >1/4” or 6 mm, this is often the result of loose
spokes. You can easily tighten spokes with an inexpensive spoke wrench to true the wheel, or this can be done at a bicycle shop.
Brakes. Squeeze the brake levers. If the brakes do not clamp the wheels properly or you cannot apply full braking force at the lever without
having it touch the grip, adjust your brakes. Do not ride the StreetStrider until the brakes are properly adjusted.
Lubrication. Depending on how often and hard your StreetStrider is used, and the type of road and weather conditions to which it is
subjected, it will require lubrication sooner or later. Before applying lubrication, clean the road dirt o the parts. Lubricate the chain with a
bicycle chain lubricant when it appears dry and/or is noisy. The pivot joints, rod ends and roller bearings require regular lubrication with light
grease. The brake and shifter cables require oil.
WARNING: Riding with improperly adjusted brakes or worn brake pads is dangerous and can result in serious injury or death. Do not
attempt to adjust your brakes or wheels while the StreetStrider is in motion.
WARNING: Do not engage in any activity that exceeds your riding ability and skill. Practice new StreetStriding skills in a safe
controlled environment. Keep hands, fingers and feet away from all moving parts while the StreetStrider is in motion, including the
tires, wheels, brakes and brake cables.
NOTE: Like any sport, StreetStriding involves the risk of serious injury, damage and/or death. By choosing to use a StreetStrider, you
assume the responsibility for the risk, not the people who sold you the StreetStrider, nor the people who made it, nor the people who
distribute it, nor the people who manage or maintain the roads or trails on which you ride. So you need to know and practice the rules of
safe and responsible StreetStriding.
Now buckle on your helmet and enjoy your StreetStrider.
