4. Adjusting the chain
Your bike is not equipped with gears, it has only one chainring and one
sprocket.
Replacing the chain
Since new chains are usually sold with too many links, the first step is
to reduce it to the correct length. The most secure way is to count the
number of links in the old chain in order to adjust the new one. To
remove the old chain, simply undo a rivet.
To fit the new chain, pass it around the chainring and the rear sprocket
so that it engages correctly on the other gear elements. To fasten the
chain closed, we recommend using a quick clamp. This acts as a
female link which will be inserted between two male links. The quick
clamp also allows you to remove the chain more easily for cleaning.
To check that the chain length is correct, install it on the sprocket. In
this configuration, the virtual line drawn between the wheel hub of the
rear wheel and the axis of the lower derailleur pulley should be vertical.
5. Changing the folding pedals
To replace your pedals, identify them by looking at the letter shown on
the top (on the axle or the label). The right pedal has an "R" (Right)
printed on it and the left pedal has an "L" (Left) printed on it. Turn the
pedal R clockwise to fix it onto the crank arm. Turn the L pedal anti-
clockwise.
6. Wheel and engine
After the first month of use, it is advisable to tighten the spokes of the
wheels to limit the impact of engine traction on your rear wheel. A slight
noise may be heard when the engine is started. This noise is normal
because the engine starts and assists pedalling. This noise can
become louder when in full use.
