IMPORTANT: You should read this manual before you go out on your first ride. Riding a StreetStrider can be a hazardous activity even under the best of circumstances. It is highly recommended that your first stride on your new StreetStrider be taken in a controlled environment, away from cars, obstacles and other cyclists, and wearing your helmet.

Figure 3.4-2. Shifting Gears on the 3i Retrieve the 3-speed shifter push rod from the parts bag and insert it into the hole on the right end of the axle (Fig. 3.4-2a), then attach the bell crank to the right axle by fitting it over the push rod and right axle nut as close to the drop out as possible, with the shifter cable routed along the lower edge of the frame chain stay, then securing it by tightening the 2.5 mm set screw with the 2.5 mm hex wrench (Fig.
(Fig. 3.5-3b) so when the wheel rotates, the rotor does not rub the pads. Repeat on the other brake. To make sure both front brakes stop equally, stand in front of the StreetStrider, squeeze the left brake lever and pull the StreetStrider forward while slowly easing the brake pressure.
The front wheels need to be aligned so they do not point in (toe in) or point out (toe out) – they need to be parallel to each other. This alignment is important for performance so take the time to do it correctly. First, insure that the tires are inflated up to 80-85 psi and that the StreetStrider is not leaning, with the head tube vertical from the front view.
Lights. If you ride your StreetStrider after dusk, it must be equipped with lights so that you can see the road and avoid road hazards, and so that others can see you. Vehicle laws treat StreetStriders like any other vehicles, meaning you must have operational white front and red rear lights if you are riding after dusk.
Your StreetStrider will perform properly and last longer if it is maintained in a clean, adjusted, and lubricated condition. Here is a list of simple mechanical safety checks that you should get in the habit of making every time you’re about to get on a StreetStrider. For more details, watch the StreetStrider Workshop videos on the Support page of our website www.streetstrider.com.
