How to Fold a Folding Bike?
2 Answers
Stabilize the folding electric bike, locate the middle buckle on the handlebar, loosen it by flipping it open, then rotate the handlebar downward and re-buckle it. Locate the middle buckle on the handlebar post, flip it open to loosen, then fold down the handlebar. Flip both pedals inward. Loosen the buckle under the seat to adjust the seat position. Similarly, locate the middle buckle on the bike frame, flip it open to loosen, then fold the frame and re-buckle it. The folding electric bike is now fully folded.
When using a folding bicycle, I first find a flat place to park to ensure safety, then operate the handle or buckle to release the folding point. From my experience, most folding bikes have two parts that can be folded: the handlebar and the frame. First, lift the handlebar folding mechanism upwards until you hear a click indicating it's unlocked, then gently push or pull it downwards or sideways to fold. Next, handle the wheels or the frame of the bike, unlock the buckle in the same way and fold it close, finally rotate or press the locking device to ensure stability. The whole process takes only a minute or two, but don't rush to avoid pinching your hands. I often use a folding bike in the office; after folding, its volume is reduced by half, making it easy to tuck under a desk or put in a car. When storing, avoid squeezing the parts, and regularly lubricate the pivot to prevent rust and extend its lifespan. I remember the first time I used it, I was too careless and didn’t fold it securely, almost dropping it. Since then, I always shake it a bit after folding to test for looseness. Safety first is the key.
