how to fold a folding bike | EWIG

Folding bikes are no longer a big secret. They guarantee mobility in the urban space.

A folding bike is essentially as described—a bike that folds up. They’re designed to be a space-saving solution for commuters and urban riders where square footage is a limiting factor. But how it folds up to such a compact form is really what’s most impressive.

Folding bikes come in all shapes and sizes, including both single speed and geared options, and some even have simple suspension systems. They’re quirky, and this “fun factor” has been embraced by both folding bike manufacturers and enthusiasts—you can find a wide range of color schemes and accessories to make your folding bike as unique as you’d like.

With a little practice, you should be able to fold and unfold our Folding Bike quickly and easily.

Pls check the step of how to fold our folding bikes.

 1.TO SEPARATE FRONT AND REAR WHEEL

There is a buckle to lock them up. We need to unlock it to separate the frame.
A folding buckle in middle of the frame will make a "tic" sound when you successfully unfold it.

 

 The frame folding quick release is attached to a vertical locking pin for safety.

 

 2. TO UNFOLD AND LOCK THE HEAD TUBE

Then you need to turn the buckle to point it towards the front wheel and press downward.

Next, unfold and lock the head tube in clockwise direction.

3. TO FOLD THE HEADTUBE

When we fold the bike, the left pedal should point towards the front wheel.

Then, release the headtube buckle in anti-clockwise direction and fold the headtube.

 Push the locking hook into the locked position to secure the locking lever.

To fold your handlebars, first release the locking hook. Next, lower the locking lever completely.

Next, firmly press the wedge release button to unlock the handlebar stem wedge. Once released, fold the handlebar stem to the side of the bike.

To unfold the pedals, lift the pedal step upward. Keep fingers clear of the pedal step interior to avoid serious injury. Make sure that both pedals are securely locked into place before riding.

 

 4.TO LOWER THE SADDLE AND PRESS THE PEDAL

Lastly, we lower the saddle.
For the foldable pedal:  
 - To press the pedal towards the bike frame then fold it upwards  - The other side is the same

To fold the pedals, push the pedal end toward the bicycle axle then flip the pedal platform down.

Pushing the pedal in will release the pedal from the locked position.

Please make sure to keep your fingers clear of pedal platform interior to avoid injury.

5. Release the seatpost height adjustment quick release. Lower the seatpost and lock back into position.

We already show how to fold the bike here, but there are a few reasons why we think everyone should try a folding bike.

First, and most importantly, folding bikes are a convenient solution for areas (especially city dwellers or office workers) where space is limited. They require significantly less real estate compared to a standard road or mountain bike, they’re easy to bring along on public transportation and since they can be brought indoors, you don’t have to leave them locked up outside and run the risk of your bike being stolen.

Second, they’re surprisingly quick and nimble. Folding bikes have smaller wheels to make them more compact, and this makes the riding physics totally different. They don’t have the same top-end speed as a full-size bike, but they’re easier to accelerate (great for dealing with stop signs and red lights). Plus, they have a nimbler feeling that’s appreciated when dodging foot traffic, road hazards and more.

Third, folding bikes are super reliable. They’re designed to be daily commuters, which means that even though they’re compact, they’re built to be durable and handle the wear and tear of high-mileage city riding. High-end folding bikes can be a bit pricier than you might expect, but take a critical look at your daily transportation costs—after the bus fares, gas mileage, insurance, maintenance and more, a folding bike has an attractive cost-per-mile that makes sense for a lot of commuters.

Ewig isthe iconic folding bike brand, and with over 40000 bikes produced each year, it’s the big folding bike and electric folding bike manufacturer in China. It has several different models available, from the classic design for the carbon MTB bike to folding bike.

We’ve had the opportunity to test each of our EWIG bikes, our boss ask us to try the bike when we go to work or off work back home ,we found it to be a capable option for both touring cyclists and commuters.
