Advantages

Safety and control are supported by reliable mechanical V-Brakes on both the front and rear wheels, along with pedals equipped with reflectors for enhanced visibility. Furthermore, the inclusion of practical accessories such as a rear trunk, mudguards, and a built-in lantern adds everyday value without requiring additional purchases.

How to use
Before riding for the first time, ensure that the bicycle is fully assembled and all components, including the handlebars, saddle, and folding mechanisms, are securely locked in place. Adjust the saddle height to match your comfort and ensure your legs achieve proper extension while pedalling. Use the 6-speed gear shifter to select an appropriate gear for flat surfaces or inclines, and apply both front and rear V-Brakes simultaneously for smooth and controlled stopping. When storing or transporting the bike, release the folding latches carefully to collapse the frame and handlebars into a compact configuration.

- Note that the bicycle is delivered at a 95 percent collection percentage and may require final assembly and adjustment before use.
Usage recommendations
Regularly inspect the tire pressure, brake responsiveness, and gear shifting performance to maintain safe and efficient operation. Keep the chain and moving parts properly lubricated, and store the bicycle in a dry, covered area to protect the steel frame and components from moisture and rust.
