the wheels.
Folding
a. Place a pedal at the bottom of the stroke. Kick down and in on the pedal
to fold the pedal. Be careful as the crank may spin. Repeat for other side.
b. Stand on the left side of the bike.
c. Using your left hand, push down on the "square" on the folding lever
located on the steerer and grab the top of the lever as it pops out.
d. Push the lever down and hold it in place to release the steerer.
e. Use your right hand to fold the handlebars.
f. Turn the wheel to the right and tilt the handlebars. Once the hooking
mechanism is past the latch, you can let the lever go. You will hear a
click once the steerer locks in position.
g. Place the crank arms horizontally with the left side pedal towards the rear
of the bike.
h. With your right hand gripping the nose of the saddle and your left hand on
the front handle, lift upwards so that the front wheel lines up with the rear
wheel. You will hear an audible click when the magnetic lock engages at
the hubs. TIP: Use your right foot to stop the rear wheel from moving. As
you're doing this motion, the pedal may hook onto the handlebar. If that
happens, readjust the pedal height and try again.
