Rotating the Crank Arms In order to fold the StreetStrider for packing and transporting, one crank arm needs to be rotated 180 degrees so both crank arms are in the same position.

    Step 5: Become Familiar with the Brakes and Grip Shifter In the USA, your StreetStrider comes with a grip shifter and a rear brake lever at the top of the right strider pole, and a front brake lever at the top of the left strider pole. These brake levers may be swapped around in other countries according to the specific legal requirements of each country.
  • Page 25 Step 8: Cruise a Bit Before you go out on the road or bike path, it is a good idea to practice using your StreetStrider in a safe area. We recommend practicing right and left turns, braking and gear shifting using these instructions.

    ANSI approved helmet whether the law requires it or not. Most serious vehicular injuries involve head injuries that might have been avoided if the rider had worn a helmet. The online StreetStrider store or your local dealer both have a variety of attractive helmets, and can recommend one to suit your needs.
  • Page 27 Front and rear lights are not standard equipment on this StreetStrider. If you intend to ride at any time under poor visibility conditions, you must have front and rear lights and reflectors that are adequate for those riding conditions.
  • Page 28 Even if you yourself have excellent night vision, many of the people with whom you’re sharing the road don’t. A StreetStrider, like any object, is more difficult for motorists and pedestrians to see at dusk, at night, or at other times of poor visibility.
  • Page 29 • Any reflective device or light source that moves will help you get the attention of approaching motorists, pedestrians and other traffic. • Make sure your clothing or anything you may be carrying on the StreetStrider does not obstruct a reflector or light. • While striding at dusk or at night, stride slowly and avoid areas of heavy traffic, dark areas, and roads with speed limit over 35 mph. Avoid road hazards. If possible, ride on routes already familiar to you.

    Lift the rear wheel off the ground by two or three 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 for any loose parts or accessories. If found, secure them.
  • Page 31 WARNING: Do not engage in any activity that exceeds your riding ability and skill. Practice new riding skills in a safe controlled environment. WARNING: Keep hands, fingers and feet away from all moving parts while the StreetStrider is in motion, including the chain, chain ring, tire, wheels, brakes and brakes cables.
