    In addition to height adjustment, the stem adapter also allows the handlebars to be turned in sideways, making the muli even more compact for parking - in a hallway, for example. To turn in the handlebars, open the quick-release on the stem adapter, pull the hand- lebars up as far as they will go and turn them in side- ways in this highest position.

    Always apply both brakes at the same time. Especially the use of the front brake alone is to be avoided on the muli due to the wide distan- ce between handlebar and front wheel. On rough, sandy, uneven, very slippery, wet surfaces and when cornering, applying the front brake alone can very easily cause the front wheel to slip and lead to serious falls.

If your muli is equipped with a belt drive, it replaces the otherwise usual chain. The belt is lighter than a chain and requires significantly less maintenance. It runs almost noiselessly and with more smoothness than a chain, is insensitive to rust and strong sunlight.

To change the belt in case of damage or after wear, you must open the frame lock on the muli. Can be found on the web at: Loosen both screws of the frame lock and guide the belt through the opening.
