Step One
Pull the handlebar out and up from the bike
Screw the hinge clamp clockwise on the handlebar post to secure it (do not over tighten)
Step Two
Release the lever allowing you to pull up the seat to your desired height
Tighter the lever
Step Three
Swing the front wheel out away from the bike, keeping the front tire at an angle so the back tire does not get in the way
Screw the hinge clamp on the main frame clockwise to secure it (do not over tighten)
Step Four

Step Five
Release the rear frame clip
Lift the bike so the rear tire swings out and hooks in its normal riding position
Hop on and off you go!
