Usage Instructions & Care Guidelines
-
Before Your First Ride: Fully unfold the frame and ensure the safety lock and magnetic latch are securely engaged. Tighten all quick-releases and bolts to proper torque; check that wheels spin without obstruction and disc brakes activate cleanly.
-
Folding & Unfolding: Practice in a safe area. Confirm the magnetic latch holds the folded frame securely and test the locking mechanism regularly for consistent performance.
-
Seat & Handlebar Setup: Adjust the seatpost (580 mm) so both feet can sit flat when stationary—perfect for traffic stops or balancing. Align handlebar height via the adjustable stem to ensure comfortable upright posture.
-
Tyre Inflation: Use pressures printed on the tyre sidewall—typically around 40–50 psi (2.8–3.4 bar)—to maintain ride comfort and grip, balancing speed and suspension over city surfaces.
-
Brake Maintenance: Regularly check that disc rotors stay clean and pads respond crisply. In humid or rainy conditions, ensure there is no brake drag or diminished stopping power.
-
Routine Upkeep: After rides, especially in wet weather, wipe down all components with a damp cloth. Dry thoroughly and apply a light layer of lube to the chain to prevent rust in Malaysia’s humidity.
-
Storage Tips: Fold and store indoors or under shelter to protect against moisture—a key step in preserving the folding joints and disc brake components.
-
Safety First: Always wear a certified helmet. Reflectors on the foldable pedals help with visibility, but adding lights or high-visibility accessories is recommended for night or low-light commutes. Be especially cautious on uneven, wet, or busy paths.
-
Rack & Accessory Compatibility: The Urbano 3 supports fitting mudguards and a rear rack, helpful for carrying small loads—great for everyday essentials.
