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

Push the pedal down to its normal locked position

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!
