ADJUSTMENTS
Brake adjustment dum brake
If the brake lever has too much „play“ for your needs,
you can turn the nut on the drum brake clockwise.
Fine adjustment handlebar
and folding mechanism
If you feel that the handlebars are wobbling a bit,
first tighten the four bolts that secure the steering
head with a 2.5 mm allen wrench.
Other screws are located on the folding mechanism
and on the lower end of the handlebar. If you feel
that the folding mechanism has some „play“ or that
it does not engage or close correctly, you can ad-
just these screws. This requires good tuning, as the
mechanism should have no „play“, but should open
smoothly by lifting the safety latch.
