FOLD 500 Folding Bike
WELCOME TO THE FAMILY!
Congratulations, you have just bought your FOLD 500/560 folding bike. You’re a super hero! You’re contributing to our dream of converting car hours into bike time. To enjoy the best experience during your first few turns of the pedals, here are some tips to help you
BEFORE YOU RIDE
– Before each bike ride check that your front and back brakes are working
perfectly.
– An under-inflated tyre will affect the performance of your B’TWIN bike.
Recommended pressure: 4 bars.
– Your B’TWIN bike is hardwearing but is not a BMX. It isn’t designed to carry
out acrobatics and other tricks.
– Some accessories you add could make it difficult to fold your bike
correctly, such as a front basket or pannier bag
– Keep the same tyre width at the front and back of your bike.
– Levers and drive train components must only be replaced with identical
models.
– Do not oil the seat post.
– Maximum user load: 100 kg
– For optimum stability of your B’TWIN bike on the ground when folded, we
recommend you use the left pedal, slightly tilted back.
– Cyclist height: Minimum: 145cm – Maximum: 185cm
