Mechanical Safety Check - StreetStrider 7i Owner's Manual

6| MECHANICAL SAFETY CHECK AND MAINTENANCE
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.
Nuts and Bolts. Lift the rear wheel off the ground by 2-3 inches, then let it bounce on the ground. If anything sounds, feels or looks loose,
do a quick visual and tactile inspection of the whole StreetStrider. If any loose parts or accessories are found, secure them. If you're not
sure, ask someone with experience to check.
Tires and Wheels. Make sure your tires are inflated to 80-85 psi for stock tires, or adjust inflation according to your non-stock tire
specifications. To check if your tires are in good shape, spin each wheel slowly and look for cuts in the tread and sidewall. Replace damaged
tires if necessary. To check if your wheels are true, spin each wheel. If a wheel is out of true by >1/4" or 6 mm, this is often the result of loose
spokes. You can easily tighten spokes with an inexpensive spoke wrench to true the wheel, or this can be done at a bicycle shop.
Brakes. Squeeze the brake levers. If the brakes do not clamp the wheels properly or you cannot apply full braking force at the lever without
having it touch the grip, adjust your brakes. Do not ride the StreetStrider until the brakes are properly adjusted.
Lubrication. Depending on how often and hard your StreetStrider is used, and the type of road and weather conditions to which it is
subjected, it will require lubrication sooner or later. Before applying lubrication, clean the road dirt off the parts. Lubricate the chain with a
bicycle chain lubricant when it appears dry and/or is noisy. The pivot joints, rod ends and roller bearings require regular lubrication with light
grease. The brake and shifter cables require oil.
WARNING: Riding with improperly adjusted brakes or worn brake pads is dangerous and can result in serious injury or death. Do not
attempt to adjust your brakes or wheels while the StreetStrider is in motion.
WARNING: Do not engage in any activity that exceeds your riding ability and skill. Practice new StreetStriding skills in a safe
controlled environment. Keep hands, fingers and feet away from all moving parts while the StreetStrider is in motion, including the
tires, wheels, brakes and brake cables.
NOTE: Like any sport, StreetStriding involves the risk of serious injury, damage and/or death. By choosing to use a StreetStrider, you
assume the responsibility for the risk, not the people who sold you the StreetStrider, nor the people who made it, nor the people who
distribute it, nor the people who manage or maintain the roads or trails on which you ride. So you need to know and practice the rules of
safe and responsible StreetStriding.
Now buckle on your helmet and enjoy your StreetStrider.

original purchase.
Components. Components are warranted by their original manufacturer and not by StreetStrider. The Shimano internal geared hub is warranted

This limited warranty applies only to the original owner of a StreetStrider and is not transferable to subsequent owners.
•
This limited warranty applies only to StreetStriders assembled in full compliance with the instructions within this Owner's Manual.
•
Damage resulting from normal wear and tear, including the results of fatigue, is not covered. Fatigue damage is a symptom of the

StreetStrider on a regular basis.
•
This limited warranty is void if the StreetStrider is subjected to abuse, neglect, improper repair, improper maintenance, alteration,
modification, an accident or other abnormal, excessive, or improper use – to be determined by the Company at its sole discretion.
•
Personal injury, StreetStrider failure, loss or damage, abuse, neglect, normal wear and tear including the results of fatigue, improper
fit or maintenance by anyone other than StreetStrider.com, or use of parts inconsistent with the use originally intended for the
StreetStrider as sold are not covered by this warranty. In no event shall the Company be liable for incidental or consequential damages
that might arise as a result of improper use and/or failure of the StreetStrider.
•
For any warranty claim to be considered, the StreetStrider must be submitted through StreetStrider.com. The StreetStrider must be
in assembled condition and accompanied by the original, dated sales receipt for the StreetStrider. Be sure to keep your receipt in a safe
place.

All labor and transportation charges for warranty service are the responsibility of the StreetStrider's owner.
During the duration of this Limited Warranty, the Company will either repair any defective frame or component, or, at our option, replace any
defective frame or component with the same or most nearly comparable model or component then available.
THIS IS THE EXCLUSIVE REMEDY UNDER THIS WARRANTY. ANY AND ALL OTHER REMEDIES AND DAMAGES THAT MAY
OTHERWISE BE APPLICABLE ARE EXCLUDED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL
DAMAGES OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES.
THIS IS THE ONLY WARRANTY MADE BY STREETSTRIDER ON ITS FRAMES AND COMPONENTS, AND THERE ARE NO
WARRANTIES THAT EXTEND BEYOND THE DESCRIPTION HEREIN. ANY WARRANTIES THAT MAY OTHERWISE BE IMPLIED
BY LAW INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A
PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ARE EXCLUDED. Please refer to the documents included with your StreetStrider for possible further restrictions.
NOTICE: StreetStriding is potentially a hazardous activity, as is bicycling. The user understands that StreetStriding, even under normal
circumstances, can be hazardous, and accepts full liability for any injury, accident, or death of the user or other StreetStrider occupant that may
arise from the use of the StreetStrider. The user assumes the risk of any personal injury, damage to or failure of the StreetStrider and any other
losses if the StreetStrider is used in any competitive event, including racing, ramp jumping, stunt riding or similar activities or training for such
competitive activities or events. This StreetStrider is not manufactured, marketed, designed or intended to be altered in any way or at any time for
use in the following ways: stunt riding, curb jumping, hopping, or similar activities, in off-road conditions, or with motors, engines or other power
equipment. Use of a StreetStrider in any of these or similar ways automatically voids the StreetStrider Limited Warranty. The Company, its dealers,
affiliates or agents shall not be liable under this warranty nor under any state or federal law or the common law or otherwise for any damage, failure,
including personal injury, resulting from such use and/or alteration.
This Limited Warranty gives the consumer specific legal rights. The consumer may also have other legal rights that vary from state to state or
country to country. Some states and countries do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages or warranties, so the
above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you. If it is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that a certain provision of this Limited
Warranty does not apply, such determination shall not affect any other provision of this Limited Warranty and all other provisions shall remain in
effect.
NOTICE: The policy of the Company is one of continued development and improvement. Consequently, we reserve the right to change or amend or
discontinue specifications in this publication without prior notice.
