Quick start guide
Read these instructions carefully or use the following link
to watch a demonstration:
http://giybike.com/videos/quickstart-giy.mp4
Remove the small boxes within the large
box. The smaller boxes contain the bike’s
charger, pedals, cellphone holder, reec-
tors, as well as the tools for assembly.

Unpacking the box.
Remove the seat and seatpost, the rear
mudguard, and rear light from the box.
These parts will arrive unattached to the
bike. We will assemble them shortly (see
image A).
Remove the bike and handlebars from the
box. The handlebars will be attached to the
folded bike by wires. For this reason, it is
important to take the bike out by grabbing
onto the wheels and frame of the bike. Do
not pull any of the wires in an attempt to
take out the bike (see image B).
Lay the bike on the ground on its side, in the
same position that the bike was in while in
the box. We will assemble the handlebars
onto the bike shortly (see image C).

Do not attempt to unfold the bike at this point in time!
Caution
Assembling your Gi Fly
Put the seatpost on the folded bike. Slide the tube of the seatpost halfway into the
seat tube. Once you have inserted the seatpost tube, securely fasten the clasp on
the bike tube (refer to section 6.A.i of the Gi Fly manual for further instruction). Don’t
worry about the height of the seatpost – we are not tting you to your Gi Fly at this
point. We are putting the seatpost onto the bike so that it can stand while in its folded
position (see image D).
D
Stand the bike in its folded position. Now
that you have attached the seatpost and
saddle you can stand the bike up in its fold-
ed position. To do this, balance the bike on
the back of the saddle and on its two wheels
(See image E).

Attach the handlebars to the stem. Get the
box with the tools. In this box you will nd 4
M5 screws as well as a 3-ended allen wrench
(See image F).
Fasten the handlebars onto the bike. Make
sure that the wires are not tangled and that
the handlebars are in their correct position.
Fasten the stem screws to 9.8 newtons or
until the handlebars do not move. Be care-
ful not to strip the threads and make sure
that the center of the handlebar lines up
with the center of the frame (See image G).
To unfold your bike, stand on the LEFT side of the bike, with your left hand on the left handle
grip.
• Slide the stainless steel button on the folding lever upwards so that the lever pops
out of the frame (see image H).
• Make sure that the left pedal crank is not interfering with the bike’s front wheel
(see image I).
• Push the front wheel forward with your left hand on the left grip while simultaneously
pulling the back wheel up and backwards using your right hand on the lever (see
image J).
• Push the folding lever back down into the frame and slide the stainless steel button
down to secure the lever and lock the folding mechanism (see image K).
