Introduction All Shulz folding bicycles are meant to ride only on solid road surface (pavement, dirt roads, etc.) and do not suit for cross-country riding. Stunt riding, jumps and extreme loads on Shulz bikes are not recommended. The rider’s weight should not exceed the maximum permissible (technical specifics of a particular model are listed on the site www.shulzbikes.ru).
Safety WARNING: Remember that only you are responsible for ensuring that you have all the accessories required by local laws — a head- and a taillight, special clothing with reflective elements, etc. Check out all local laws regarding cycling. First of all, there could be information about mandatory lighting equipment, registration of a bike, and the rules for cycling on public highways or for transporting a bike by public transport, etc.

Tires and inner tubes Shulz bicycles are equipped with universal type of tires, which has a good coasting on paved roads and also has good grip on soil roads. On the sidewall of the tire there are indications of its dimensions and the range of working pressure.
Electric bike control If you have a Shulz bike with an electric motor, there are two usage options: you can ride it like a reg- ular bike with the electric motor turned off or you chose electric mode with that the electric motor in the front wheel will turn on itself and help you when you pedal.
Maintenance A bicycle, like any other mechanism, can wear out. Different bike components have a different service life, so it is important to monitor even the new bike’s condition so that it does not let you down at the most wrong time. It’s impossible for this manual to provide all the information required to repair and maintain every bicycle.
