Handling instructions
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).
Rejoining
1. Open the Velcro strap and move the rear
frame part back to the tube of the front frame
part. Take care for correct cable and chain
routing. Put in the rear part and adjust it
roughly to the front frame part.
2. Release the Velcro under the cross tube
and put it back on the seat strap. Swivel the
seatback carefully to its original position. Ad-
just the rear frame part by pushing in / pulling
out in a way that the seatback’s long hole
sheets slide on their guides (stainless steel
bushings on the quick release axle) easily.
3. Check the positioning of the rear wheel
(perpendicular to ground) and correct if nec-
essary.
4. Alternately tighten both clamping bolts key
size 6 with 14–16 Nm.
5. Rearrange the seatback to your desired po-
sition and close the quick release.
Danger! Not properly tightened
clamping bolts will result in a non-rigid
frame. This may lead to crash and injury.
Always tightly close the quick release at
the seat back. The seat is a structural part
of the tricycle frame. An opened quick re-
lease may lead to frame damage.
Caution! Always tightly close the
quick release at the seat back. The seat is a
structural part of the tricycle frame. An
opened quick release may lead to frame
damage. Please pay attention to the in-
structions about quick release levers on
page 8.
