• Fold the front swingarm right under until
the front wheel rests next to the main
frame tube, and the tire grips up against
the fixing screw on the front forks.
• Put the bike back down. If you have one,
fold up the kickstand. Lift the bike a little
by the saddle and open the rear swingarm
catch with a light outward pull.
• Now fold the rear swingarm forward and
put the Birdy back on the ground.
• Now open the seatpost quick release and
lower the saddle as far down as it will go.
Close the quick release.
• Finally, open the stem hinge lever and fold
the handlebars down. Finished!
With a little practice you can easily fold the
Birdy very quickly. The folding procedure is
as follows:
• Select the highest gear – the chain should
be on the smallest sprocket.
• If your Birdy is equipped with a height-ad-
justable stem, open the height-adjustment
quick-release, press the pin and lower the
stem to the lowest pin hole. Close the quick
release again.
• Ensure the right-side pedal points up-
wards (the crank should be in line with
the seatpost).
• Stand on the left side of the Birdy and grip
the handlebar with your right hand. Press
the front swingarm catch with the left
hand, so that it releases the spring from the
fork.
