Handling instructions
Unfolding
To unfold and reassemble your tricycle, please
follow the steps above in the opposite order.
Make sure that after unfolding the quick re-
lease lever rests on the front frame part. Else
the snap-in mechanism will not work prop-
erly.
Lift the folding hinge until the securing tab
snaps in.
Now close the quick release lever until it
touches the rear frame part.
Danger! Before riding your tri-
cycle, make sure the quick release is se-
curely closed. The securing tab must be
locked and the quick release lever must be
laying on the rear frame part. Cables or
wires must run free. The handlebar must
turn easily and freely. All seat quick re-
leases must be closed properly.
Please pay attention to the instructions
about quick release levers on page 8.

Folding the frame
Caution! Close upper quick re-
lease lever after removing the seat! Oth-
erwise there is a risk to damage the axis
quick release lever that carries the folding
buffer.
Your Scorpion folding hinge features a snap-in
function. It makes folding easier and prevents
the frame from folding even when the quick
release is not fastened.
Before folding shift your gears to smallest
chainring and smallest sprocket. This will
make folding easier.
To fold the frame stand behind the main
frame’s cross tube and look to the left front
wheel.
Caution! If the gear system is
not in smallest sprocket and smallest
chainring the chain may be tightened so far
that the rear derailleur can be damaged or
the derailleur hanger can be torn.
Opening the quick-release lever of the folding hinge
Swivel the lever past the lower seat quick re-
lease until it touches the front frame part.
Use your right hand to pull the whole hinge
upwards a little bit. At the same time pull
away the securing tab from the hinge with
your fingertips to open the folding hinge. If
necessary push a little bit from the side where
the quick release lever is situated.
