Handling instructions
6. Push the frame together until you can hear
the locking sheet metal snaps in.
7. Place the folded Gekko fx or Gekko fx 26
upright on the integrated rollers and the
buffer inside the folding hinge.
Caution For Gekko fx 26 folding
is pretty much the same like for Gekko fx.
You might turn the stem a little bit side-
ways to meet the hole in the stem under
part
Caution! Don’t turn the cranks
after folding. To pull the folded tricycle you
have to pull it at the frame, not at the
cranks or pedals. Else the chain roller or
the chain retention hook may be damaged.
Taking off the front wheels
To achieve an even smaller package, you can
take off the front wheels (see page 56). In this
case you will also have to remove the front
mudguards (see page 83).
Unfolding with D.F.F.-move
To unfold the Gekko fx or Gekko fx 26 stand
next to the left front wheel.
1. Grab the left seat stay with your left hand
(knuckles facing to the rear wheel). Slide your
right hand between main tube and seatback
and push the locking sheet metal's tongue
away from the seatback. At the same time
slightly open the frame with the left hand.
